tore any one will forget this particular December 7 and its aftermath. The snow, piled into huge drifts by winds and packed into solid walls 15 feet high by plows, brought hardship and some danger to the 23,000 residents of this community at the southeastern bend of Lake Ontario. But no real crisis developed. Little Car Travel Despite the tons of snow which fell between Sunday and Thursday, all but the sick or elderly managed to get In and out of their homes with little trouble. Food and supplies were available. It was just a little more difficult than usual to get them. Until the end of the week, for example, there was virtually no passenger car travel. But anyone who wanted food could get it by trudging waist-deep through the snow to the city’s main business area. Police, Red Cross and civil defense personnel were kept busy bringing supplies to people who could not get out for them. While many neighborhood grocery stores had to close because of a lack of deliveries, supermarkets in the downtown section operated as usual. Tavern-Business Good A tavern-owner reported that at the height of the snow - siege.

“business was twice as good as any warm summer day.” He attributed his good fortune to the fact that his was ope of the few establishments in the area which kept a path open from the street, where pedestrians found it easier going than on the walks to his door. Although many industries were shuttered, along with all schools in the city, the snow provided work for many. Police and firemen were kept busy directing emergency service for 18 to 20 hours a day. And the regional unemployment office channeled jobless workers to snow shoveling chores at $2 an hour. It’s hard to estimate the cost of the storm to the city. Mayor Vincent Corsal Monday night asked the Common Council for an extra $20,000 to help handle the snow expenses. Three Small Town Stores Destroyed Town Square Os Hope Is Swept By Flames COLUMBUS, Ind. (UPI) —Three stores were destroyed and three others were threatened Monday* night as a ragjng fire swept the town square of Hope, a small Bartholomew County community northeast of here. Unofficial estimates placed the damage at $50,000 or more. Volunteer fire fighting units from Balakar Air Force Base, Taylorsville, Flat Rock, Columbus, Hartsville and Elizabethtown battled for more than three hours in 17-degree temperature before she blaze was brought under control. Water was rushed in by tank truck when fire hydrants froze in the bitter cold. Destroyed were a department store, antique shop and restaurant. Capt. Don Everroad of the Hope Fire Department was overcome by smoke. He was treated at a hospital and released. Cause of the fire was not immediately known.

At bottom, Queen Frederika of Greece is shown before she and her daughter, Princess Sophie, left New York for home after a month’! visit in the United States. Christmas Trees Higher This Year NEW YORK i UPl)—Price tags on Christmas trees this year will run up to 10 per cent higher than last season, a survey by United Press International has shown. Wholesale prices are up nearly $1 a bundle—usually five trees—because of short supply and higher labor costs. Bad weather has curtailed tree cutting and a tree moth infestation in Canada is expected to create quarantine problems at U. S. import points. A third of the 40 million trees sold annually come from Canadian forests. Fort Wayne Couple Wounded In Holdup Owners Os Liquor Store Shot Monday FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) — An elderly Fort Wayne couple was shot and wounded critically by two bandits during a holdup attempt at their west-side liquor store Monday night.The victims, Oaniel Derloshon, 70, and his wife, Lucretia, 69, are in St. Joseph’s hospital here. Police said the two gunmen walked into the combination liquor store-living quarters and shot Daniel Derloshen, 70, in the neck when he tried to warn his wife of trouble. Mrs. Lucretia Derloshen, 69, was shot in the chest when she rushed to her husband’s aid. Authorities said the robbers may be the same pair which has held up at least seven other small business establishmente during the past month.

Mao Bids For Top Communism Role Decision Rumored To Quit Presidency TOKYO (UPI) — Experts on Red China said today Mao TseTung may be preparing to step down as head of the Chinese Communist government to make a final, supreme bid for equal billing with Karl Marx and V.I. Lenin as communism’s top thinker. This was suggested as an important reason behind Mao's rumored decision to turn his job as chairman of Red China’s government over to Marshal Chu Teh next month. Mao would still wield power as chairman of the Communist Party. A Taipei dispatch said Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek met today with his top aides to study the reports, first brought to Taipei by Nationalist agents on the mainland. Some Nationalist government sources speculated that a rift had developed inside the Peiping hierarchy, but most sources noted Mao would retain power as party boss. Nationalist newspapers speculated that Mao had run into trouble with the Kremlin because he moved too fast in setting up the giant communes under which all men and women in Red China are organized into labor battalions. Tokyo experts said Mao would need most of his energy to meet what may be the greatest challenge of his career—making a a success out of the people’s communes. There is a strong possibility that Mao is dissatisfied with the' way these giant labor camps have been operating. He wants more time to whip them into shape, for his reputation as a Communist thinker—and probably the future of the nation he brought into being—may depend largely upon the communes. Top rating as a Communist theoretician is something Mao has been shooting for ever since he defied Marxist-Leninist theory in the 1930 s and got away with it. Judge Disqualifies Himself From Case Claims Bribe Offer In Robbery Trial BEDFORD, Ind. (UPI) — Lawrence Circuit Judge Chester A. Davis Monday disqualified himself from sitting in judgment of an armed robbery case because he said he was offered a bribe oy a mother to acquit her son. Davis said he was offered an expensive diamond ring and an electric organ if he would free sr suspend the sentence of Neval K, Emmons, 33/ Mitchell, who was arrested July 15 at Indianapolis where he now lives. Thp letter offering Davis the bribe purported to be from Emnons’ mother and was signed with the name of Mrs. Fred Gross, Mitchell. Davis included the letter in his order disqualifying himself from the case. I said: “Open your doors of your heart, Mr. Davis, this Christmas. Give a gift to a mother that would be priceless beyond the most beautiful gift in the wofld—a gift of freedom of suspended sentence for my son. “God only knows that a mother suffers, the love she has for her ■hildren. and love more than all the world “I have two gifts I cherish and will sacrifice and give to you Mr. Davis. This is my large diamond engagement ring from Mr. Emmons who passed away 12 years ago, also my Hammond organ, a gift from him. They are precious to me, but not as much as the freedom of my boy.” Shortly after his arrest. Emmons’s wife told authorities he had boasted to her of a filling station holdup near Bedford. Polite said Emmons later admitted the robbery and said he did It to obtain money for suppor’ payments to a former wife and children. As the judge read the letter tc the court, Emmons’ gray-haircc mother, dressed in black, listened with bowed head. The letter was turned over to the grand jury which could indict Mrs. Gross on bribery charges. Conviction would carry a 2 tc 14 year sentence. Davis named a three-membej panel from" which a special judge will be chosen to hear the robbery trial. , Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each dpy.
