NEW ENGLAND STATES PELTED BY SNOW, RAIN

Cold air chilled a large section of the nation today as more snow T and snow flurries were forecast for the northeast. A heavy rain and a foot of snow' struck the Northeast Monday. Heaviest hit areas were sections of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Weathermen said the new snow T mostly light and generally only flurries would fall from Maine southw-ard through West Virginia. Southern New' England and the New York metropolitan area escaped the snow, but were thoroughly soaked by heavy rains carried on gale winds. Upper New r York State, however, received up to three inches of snow from a Canadian storm w'hich dipped across the border. A cold air mass covered the east portion of the country from New Mexico and Texas to the Great Lakes and eastward to the Atlantic Coast. A general drop in temperatures occurred in the areas, with the most noticeable taking place in Oklahoma and Texas and Louisiana. Meamvhile, a general warming took place northwest of the cold air from the northern Gieat Plains through the central mountain states. Generally fair skies prevailed over the western two-thirds of the nation. Cloudy skies, however, covered the far Northwest where areas of scattered freezing rain were expected.

Across

The Counter You may think you are protected because you’ve always had “fire insurance” since vou bought your home sixteen years ago. But, unfortunately, you may be like the ostrich sticking his head in the sand to

avoid facing the facts, home building costs — and therefore replac e m e n t costs — have more than doubled during that period. Unless your insurance has kept pace, you

have too little coverage today. Far example, we recently talked this over with a home owner. He bought his home for $7500 in 1940. His mortgage was for $6000. So $6000 of fi e insurance v was all he carried for years. Yet. his home today is valued at easily $16,0C0. Rising prices since the

day he bought it had devaluated his insurance. He was only about 40 % protected measured by the present value yardstick. Natura 1 1 v. he bought' MORE

coverage.

Most economists believe stabilized. This means present day prices ar* here to stay. It also means that the time to “revalue” your insurance requirements is NOW. Get out your fire policies Bring them in to us. We will review your policies and inspect your property. Then you’ll know the amount of insurance you should carry. Do it right away—before a fire strikes: Simpson Stoner INSURANCE Phone 6

—HANDLEY lined during his campaign. He made a political point more or less overlooked in the Nov. 6 election results -that “the political weathervane already is pointing to a Republican majority in the Indiana Senate in

1959.”

Handley said 20 to 26 state sotators elected this year are Pe publicans. That means that i. 1959, most of the holdover senators will be Republicans an the party needs to elect only ? handful in 1958 to win control c'. the Senate again. The chamber’s annual mere bership luncheon at which Hand ley spoke climaxed a three-drn legislative conference. Stab seheol superintendent -Wilbu Young* said Monday at^t^ie-cdr. ference that 21L million dol’.T-. should be transferred from instate Common School Fund tohe Veterans,, Memorial School Building Fund, to speed school ■construction in critical areas.

GREENWICH. Conn. (UP! — A medical examiner ruled today that bandleader Tommy Dorsey, the "sentimental gentleman of swing," accidentally choked to death in his sleep. Police and Dorsey's family denied there was any mystery surrounding his death Monday in the locked master bedroom of his $130,000 borne. He died just two j days before he was due to appear | in court to reply to his third wife’s divorce suit. Medical examiner Dr. C. Stanlep Knapp said after an autopsy the 51-year old musician threw i up while he .slept, and food lodged in his windpipe and lungs. Police who were called to the 23-room house arfter Dorsey’s fully clothed body was found by Vincent Carbone, his business l manager, agreed with the medij cal examiner's findings. They said , there was no evidence of foul I play, and nothing to indicate that Dorsey took his own life. However. Knapp said Dorsey's vital organs will be sent to the state toxicology laboratory in Hartford, Conn., for analysis. An empty bottle, which Mrs. Jane (Janie) New’ Dorsey had said contained her husband’s sleeping pills, w r as found in a bathroom adjoining his bedroom. NEWS OF BOYS FORT CHAFFEE. Ark.
