Thirty-Inch Snow
Fall Is Biggest
In Area Since so
Schools Ordered Closed For
Two Days Set To Open
Again Today

A somewhat belated winter storm
piled up snow on the mountain top
to depth of thirty or more
inches. begging down traffic and
closing schools for a tWo-day
period
1t was clearly the worst snowfall
of the year and the most to fall in
one period since November, 1859.
The only salvation was the alb
sence of any strong winds which
would have completely closed traf-
fic to the area for several days. As
it was the snowfall caught the state
and county roads bodies by sur
prise. and the ploWs were tardy in
getting started at the job of clear
ing the highways. With the absence
of any strong wind, however. it was
not long until roadWays were clear
and they remained that way.
Officially there was total of %
inches, with inches coming Mon
day night, II inches early Tuesday
and throughout the day and an adj
ditional eight inches falling Tues
day night.
The temperature remained slight
ly below the freezing point but a
semblance of sun on Wednesday
morning tended to get the snow
set to such an extent that it would
take a stiff wind to get it moving
again and drifting.
Maryland state police placed the
emergency traffic plan into effect
about 4:3O p. m, Monday in both
Allegany and Garrett counties as
the roads crews battIcd the heavy
snowfall.
Buses and railroads ran late on
Tuesday and mail service was in
terrupted. Utilities were not af-
fected in the county area
The storm continued undated
for some SO hours with the break
coming sometime after midnight
Tuesday.
During the entire winter up 20
this week the snowfall has not to-
tailed more than "a inches, but this
latest storm gave some indication
that the county would reach its
average in one way or another.
Hardest hit by the snoWstorm
which included all of Maryland and
most of Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia, we're Hardy and Grant coun-
ties in West Virginia, where the
fall measured up to 30 inches. Min
eral and Hampshire counties re-
ported "a inches. There were 20
inches at Thomas. w. Va, and Is
inches at Elkins.
The relatively milk weather made
it possible for snow removal crews
to do an excellent job on all main
highways and streets.
Oakland began digging out Tues
day morning but had to do it all
over again on Wednesday, Streets
and alleys were fairly well cleared
but, parking was a problem No at
tention was paid to parking meters
either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Willard l.. Hawkins, county SUI
perintendent of schools, ordered
schools to be closed Tuesday and
then ordered an additional day of
closing when snow kept piling up
in early evening Tuesday The
problem was getting school chill
dren to buses. as most county
roads were open to traffic and it
would have been no problem for
the buses to reach the schools.
Schools were set to resume to-
day, providing no additional snow
fell

Annual Flowers
Adds Color
Around Home

Quick color around your home
can be obtained by planting
annual flowers this spring.
Annals provide rapid, but
temporary. effects in the egarden
and also furnish cut flowers
during a period whenperennial:
generally are not blooming.
Planted in clumps between
shrubs and perennials, they fur
msh interesting spots of color
and add charm, according to
Robert F. Stevens, extension
horticulmrist with the Univer'
siry of Delaware.
ANNALS are of TWO types
hardy and tender. Hardy ANNALS
may be planted now even though
there is still danger of frost.
But avoid planting tender types
such as peuImas, marigolds anc
zinnias until all danger of frost
has passed.
Hardy ANNALS than can be
planted outside now are sweet
pea. sweet alyssum, candyuft
bachelors button. forget-me-
not. larkspur and poppy.
ANY good garden soil viii
produce satisfactory ANNALS,
Stevens says. They are quick
growing plants and require a
fertile soil that does not dry
out too rapidly and yet is well
drained.
If your soil is of poor quail :
iy. work in organic matter
and fertilizer before attempting
to plant annual seed. This will
help you to get the quick color
you want from ANNALS.

Termites or
Flying Ants?
PNpoayYv ovsners frem,er,,

Properly owners Frequently
become alarmed at the sight OF
flying insects in or around their
homes. Their first thought is
that these are winged" ter
mites. However. George Vapaa,
Kent county agent points out
these insects are just as likely
to be the winged forms of one
of the common species of ants
that invade houses.
These insects are trouble
some and annoying inmany ways
but, with the exception of the
carpenter ant. do not damage
wood.
Mr.. Vapaa says one way to tell
whether the winged insects you
see are ternites or merely
flying ants is by checking their
physical characteristics. The
winged ssrmdbes has wings that
extend far beyond the end of its
body. An four wings are Of
equal lesesh. The wings Of tha
ana. however. extend only
slig,s1y byoad the end Of the
body. Tks fore wings are
hrssx tham the hind wings.
According to the agent.
''winRsd" psrmipss Leave thcir
ground nests in the spring and
fall to start new colonies. If
you should find a colony of
these termites. apply a chem :
ical to the soil to make a
poisoned soil barrier between
their nest and the wood. More
complete information on the
control of these insects may be
obtained by contracting the
county agent at the Dover post
office building.
