Normal for the period is 48.5 degrees, so the mercury has been running about 7% degrees below normal. Temperatures have been below normal all except two days this month and in the first half of April they chalked up 11. “degree I jdays’’ below what-Central Indi-] .anans could rightfully expect. Furthermore, the sub-norinal

temperatures have been rather general around the state, what with ice storms, hard freezes and deep snows. The first half of April S eluded a 13-inch snow in the trtheast portion of the state, an ice storm which caused hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage over the northern half of Hoosierland, and cold weather with temperatures as low as 14 degrees above zero. For Indianapolis, the average maximum temperature between April 1 and 15 was 50 and the average minimum 31.8, for a “mean” of 40.8. Normally the high would average about 54, the low about 37.5 and the “mean” about 48.5. For the entire month of April, the normal “mean" temperature is 50.8 degrees at Indianapolis. Coldest April in the first half of the 20th Century was in 1907, when the average tempe ature was 43.3. Warmest was 1941 with an average of 59 degrees. At Indianapolis, the mercury has risen no higher than 69 this month. It passed 56 only once in the 15 days and never got above the 30s on two of those days. The coldest reading was a record 20 on April During the 15 days, the mercury * •

dropped below freezing seven times, including five nights in a row. | Trade in a good town — Decatur
