Grocers — Continued from page 1) worked shorthanded, with two employees being snowed in for several days. Perishable items were delivered on Thursday and be was soon sold-out. Bread and milk went fast from shelves and Doty made a trip to the New Paris Burger Dairy for milk Saturday morning. Again a bread and pastry truck made delivery Saturday morning to the bare shelves of the store. Doty said Monday morning that produce and meat deliveries were expected Monday, plus other grocery items, the latter coming from Fort Wayne. Mrs Doty manned the cash register, for a time that is, until smoke rolled from the unit and it was necessary to disconnect the unit. The adding machine was then put into use and a cash box: Again, a meat counter was nearly emptied, along with produce Dairy Store Business Mary Wooten of the Burger Dairy Store in Syracuse reported she and husband Bernard snowmobiled across the lakes from the fish hatchery area, when a call came to them Friday morning of a grocery emergencyin the town. She reported running out of bread each day but that new supplies arrived to replenish the shelves and her milk supply remained good. Nine Burger' Dairy milk trucks were pulled from the roadways by officials one day due to road conditions and Burger Dairy stocked the local store one day with a pick-up truck of milk. Four persons manned the business, she reported, with the local outlet doing about three times as much daily business as usual The dairy produce counter was replenished on Sunday evening, putting the store back in extra good condition. ; In Milford In Milford, the Augsburger’s Foodliner received deliveries, as the trucks got through the snow. The store said it was a little short on bread last Friday and a double milk run was made. A limit was set on bread and milk purchased by the customers, so there would be enough of these items to serve other customers. ' The customers were very great,” said the Augsburger’s store manager. “Some of them even thanked us for being open.” Phil Campbell, owner and manager of Campbell’s market. Milford, said supplies of bread and milk at his store became depleted. “We had a little bread between Saturday, but not enough.” Campbell explained Campbell made a run to the New Paris Burger Dairy for milk over the week end and baked goods were delivered early Monday morning. But the natural gas shortage has effected the bakery, Campbell said and. “They won’t leave any extra because they haven’t got it” “People were pretty good, really.” Campbell said. If another blizzard hits the town. “We’ll be open and try to take care of everybody like we did in the past.” Campbell said. Standstill — (Continued from page 1) could not get to their places of employ ment. Some, including Milford Postmaster Paul Kizer, used snowmobiles to reach their destinations Others used fourwheel drive vehicles which cut through the snow for a time. Eventually, however, these vehicles too were brought to a hault by the drifting snow The emergency was such that telephone lines were being overloaded and United Telephone Company officials asked persons

to use their telephones for. emergency use only. Those who had snowmobiles and for a time the four-wheel drive vehicles were used to take emergency supplies to persons who could not get out. A wind chill factor listed temperatures at 70 degrees below zero as the winds continued to grow Persons were urged not to go out unless necessary. Visibility was cut to zero in many places because of the blowing snow. The blowing, drifting snow continued throughout the week end. Most churches were closed because of the weather conditions. Those who did remain open set temperature controls lower than usual and asked that persons attending dress warm so as to cooperate with the gas company in not using the needed fuel. Sa it Supply Low Because of the recent wave of sub-zero temperatures last month, the state highway commission is currently facing a critically short supply of salt, says Commission Executive Director Roger F. Marsh. Marsh explains that the highway’s salt suppliers have not been able to deliver nearly as much as normal because of the fact their barges have been stuck in the frozen-over Ohio and Illinois Rivers. “This lack of deliveries,” he says, “combined with the increased number of snow and ice storms this winter all over the state, has caused the shortage that we are now up against.” He continued by saying “We are asking everyone to please have patience with our crews as they work under these adverse conditions to keep the roads cleared. Please drive even more carefully than usual since in some areas we may not be able to use as much salt as we would like.” To compensate for the salt shortage highway commission crews are relying on more plowing, more use of abrasives, such as sand, and more use of mixtures of chemicals MIPSCo — (Continued from page 1) added during the rest of the winter to their 445.000 residential and 34.000 commercial customers. “The only way we can assure our customers throughout NlPSCoiand that we can continue to maintain gas supplies to their homes during this period is to ask for further sacrifice on the part of our commercial and industrial customers’’ Jay Peffley. manager of the Syracuse branch of NIPSCo said, "People have been cooperating

very well.” Industries Affected Complying Lakeland industries have been affected by the NIPSCo requests, with some stopping production entirely. VyLactos. Syracuse, needs gas for a drying process and cannot operate until the process can be converted to oil. This has caused a layoff of half of the workers. The company is looking into the possibility of converting to oil and will know by the end of the week whether it can be done. The company was contemplating converting to oil last summer, but was assured by gas people that the supply was fine. Larry Whielan, plant manager, said the conversion will cost the company, which will miss its peak sales season with or without conversion. Sea Nymph. Syracuse, is attempting to work out different forms of heating for its divisions, which are gas heated. Incomplete boats will be constructed, as gas is required to make some parts. This may create a lack of finished product for the peak selling season, which could result in a layoff later on. said general manager Paul Phillabaum. Barth, Inc.. Milford, is one of several local businesses which have complied by lowering heating temperatures. Mike Umbaugh. president, said he does not anticipate any major shutdown. Liberty Homes, Syracuse, is also at plant protection level and working. “I almost feel that this will have to be voluntary on the part of the workers,” commented Bill Kurtz, Brock Manufacturing office manager, Milford, where 40 degree temperatures began when workers returned today (Wednesday). “I imagine that most will be willing to work.” Kurtz explained. “No doubt this cold will definitely cause a hinderance to production.” John Redsecker, vice president of manufacturing at Chore-Time, - Inc., Milford, said the plant is at protection, where possible, but some thermostats do not go down that far. “Our people are being very cooperative,” said Redseeker, as workers are dressed for the cooler degrees inside the plant. The shipping department is at 38 degrees. Weatherhead Company, Syracuse, is open and working with reduced heat, reports Jack Spaeth. Dry-ice, a by product of gas. is used at Schacht Rubber Products. Syracuse. The regular Monday shipment to the firm was not made, and one has been promised for today, said Norma Schacht, executive secretary and wife of the company president. Two area industries are not affected by the gas cutbacks. Maple Leaf Farms is open and

not immediately affected, said Bob Spearman, personnel manager. “As long as we can get fuel oil and our people can get in, we’ll continue to operate,” said Dean Pittman, president of Syracuse Rubber Products. He explained that gas is of secondary importance to his plant.

'Citizen' — (Continued from page 1) ' events for his daily sports show on WSBT and TV-22 would be enough to keep a normal mortal busy. But he also covers all Notre Dame basketball games at home and away, plus play-by-play on the high school “Sportlight Game of the Wdek” and all games of the Indiana High School Tournament. In addition, he is in great demand as a speaker for area clubs and groups. With it all, he still finds time for family activities with his wife Kathy and their three children. His chief complaint is that his golf and tennis are suffering. Before joining WSBT in June 1973. Sam was the play-by-play voice of the former Miami Floridians of the ABA and sports director for radio and television stations in Texas and Oklahoma. A native of Borger, Texas, Sam won all-state honors in both football and basketball while in high school there. He wasnamed to the third team of the Junior College All-American Basketball team.
