Pittsburgh Toils to Clean Up Debris Left by Record Storm
PITTSBURGH (AP)—A small army of humans labored today to roll back the 28-inch mantle of snow that changed this steel center's bustling pace to a slow walk.
And across the state, other workers struggled to clear away mud and debris left by flood waters and gale winds.
Although the winds had subsided and rain-swollen streams were returning to their banks, new trouble was created by drifting snow—closing some roads as soon as they were cleared.
As he received report after report of the progress being made in the fight against the Pittsburgh snow drifts, Mayor David L. Lawrence said grimly:
"It's obvious that we are in a state of siege."
Public employees are doing all they can to restore the metropolitan area of 1,500,000 to normalcy but still more help is needed, Lawrence declared as he personally directed "the crisis of man against the elements."
Lawrence urged everyone to organize "block parties," adding:
"Do what you can to clear the streets around your homes while we try to get the main traffic lanes open."
Travel still is far from normal as only 20 per cent of the city's trolleys are operating. Some are on partial service. A spokesman for the Pittsburgh railways said:
"Even if we get a break in the weather it will be at least another week before we are back in full service."
There has been no suffering reported from lack of food.
TM Club Decries Commercial Yule
Ed Wright led the panel discussion "When Should Christmas Season Begin—Before or After Thanksgiving" at the meeting of the Anaheim Toastmasters last night. General consensus of the discussion summarized Christmas as another commercialized field. Any meaning that Christmas might once have had is lost on the modern generation due to the advertising and promotion that is now part of the holidays.
Louis Taylor presided over the meeting and Marion Pickel delivered the invocation. President Taylor ruled that meeting dates for the month of December would fall the fourth and 18th.
Inasmuch as the fog prevented some of the members from rural areas to attend the meeting last night, the program scheduled for the meeting has been held over and will be presented Dec. 4.

A BLOW FOR WALNUT GROWERS
HEMET, Calif. (P)—Farmers hereabouts thought a helicopter might be just the thing to blow the walnuts off their trees. They brought in a copter for an experimental flight and it hovered over the trees, the downdraft from the huge rotors rattling the branches. The nuts, however, wouldn't play. A few peppered down but most of the crop was still out of reach after the chip had landed.

It is time to remove the mountainous areas of snow.
Ohio, with the highest death rate—55 was slowly but surely falling out from the heavy falls which had buried most of the state. Most of the main highways except some in the southeastern region — were open but traffic slowed slowly. Thousands of cars remained stranded and some moors were marooned in farm houses and villages.
Hundreds of business and industrial firms in the two states call-employees back to work and elected to be back to near normal operations by tomorrow.
Snow blanketed cities and towns up to 35 inches west of the Allegheny mountain range — with patches on the ground in Pittsburg. In Eastern Pennsylvania, snow hit the mountain recess but winds and heavy rains caused millions of dollars damage.
Schools and colleges in Pittsburg still were closed. So were banks and the courts. Mayor David L. Lawrencve urged citizens to organize "block parties" to help clear the snow in the city of 1,500,000.
The big U. S. Steel corporation is among the big industries planning to resume operations. It forced to close by the storm, killing some 50,000 workers.

Heat "tailored"
Heat "tailored" to any utensil
...GAS HAS GOT IT!
You don't need special pots and pans when you cook with gas. Modern burners shape the flexible blue flame of gas to fit any size or shape of utensil. That means less heat wasted and a cooler kitchen.
Gas is faster, too ... starts food cooking the instant you turn it on. The many visible heats enable you to select the exact one you want. No guessing advantages of gas. To fully enjoy superior cooking fuel, you need an automatic gas range. Such a range you'll find, costs less to buy, less erate. Why not plan to see the new range displays at dealers' or your Company soon?

Comment heard around the table was: "To think we should like long enough to hear a Methodist preacher, even if he did go to UCLA, chortle when SC got beat."
The meeting closed on time.
