COUNTY GETS BRUNT
OF FREAK STORM
Traffic at Virtual Stand-
still Until Plows Clear
Main Roads
A wet-heavy snow which
falling late Saturday night and
which continued steadily and re-
lentlessly for nearly 24 hours, piled
up a staggering blanket of over
30 inches of snow over Centre coun-
ty, to capture all storm honors for
the winter end tp upset even old-
timers’ ideas of deep snows.
According to local sages who have
made a study of weather over a per-
fod of more than 60 years they
never saw a storm to equal the one
which escorted March off the 1942
calendar.
Fortunately there was a total ab-
sence of wind, and the snow piled
steadily upon every object on which
it fell. Telephone lines, power lines,
tree limbs were festooned with aeep
piles of heavy snow, So calm was
the air that snow falling on small
surfaces such as the tops of clothes
poles, pi fled 1 'p many inches in depth
before dropping off of its owr
vreight.

Traffic was at a virtual standstill}
on all but the main highways, Cars,
with and without chains, were en-
tirely unable to cope with the un-
precedented snow.
Property damage from the storm
was considerable, Hundreds of limbs
were torn from trees because of the
great weight they bore. Shrubbery
and ornamental trees in some cases
were borne to the ground by the
great load.
Service crews of the Bell Tele.
phone Company and the West Penn
Power Company sew almost 24.
hours of service during the storm,
but one West Penn lineman come

age isn’t nearly as great as you
would imagine in « Storm like this”
Highway employes worked almost
constantly from early Saturday night
through Sunday, with a crew of 150

For Cooking School Inspiration
Your true epicure would rather seven sweets and seven sours, with

She was alone at the time, and only

men from Pleasant Gap and from
the Logan and Undine Companies,

the household effects being carried

According to reports the fire ap-
parently started either on the roof
or in the attic, spreading rapidly
The entire roof of the structure was
destroyed by fire and worked down
through partitions, made it neces-
sary for firemen to open a number
{of holes in the sides of the build-

So intense was the heat that the
home of Clair Tressler, just west of
have one dish perfectly prepared
and nicely served, than a full-course
dinner that's indifferently cooked
and slapped together, anyhow. But
when you come upon a whole table,
groaning under its load of good
things—that's a gastronomical para-
dise.
Buch cooking still exists in that
section of Pennsylvania, known as
the “Dutch Country” where thrifty
housewives turn the produce of their
well kept farms into nourishing and
hearty meals. Such cooking is still
found in small hotels that serve
meals “country style.”
Lecturer Dorothy Bathgate dis-
covered one of these hotels when she
visited the Pennsylvania Dutch sec- |
tion this past summer in her search |
based on Pennsylvania Dutch colors |
!
i
for recipes and ideas for her home- |
making school programs.’ “Believe it
or not,” she says, “at one small hotel
I counted twenty-nine different
foods on the table when we sat down.
And they told us they usually served
about thirty-six things, counting des-
serts. When we arrived and asked
if they were serving, the friendly,
apron-clad hostess said to ‘come |
right in, we're just dishing up the
| while you watch, there'll be demon- |
tables.’ And did they dish them up!!
The twenty-nine items I mentioned
included chicken and chicken pot |
out which no true Dutch meal is
complete. On top of this collation,
we were given a choice of five kinds
of pie, with ice cream. It would have
been six kinds of pie, but the cherry |
custard, the waitress told us, was all.
“Meals country style, are mighty
good eating. While we don't have
thirty-six Pennsylvania Dutch re- |
cipes for our cooking school audi- |
ences, we do have a grand collection
of modernized versions of old recipes
that can be worked into every meal.
And our kitchen has been given a
completely new decorative scheme,
the Sampsell home, was scorched
and several small holes were burned
in the roof. Firemen kept a stream
playing on the structure much of the
time to keep it from igniting.
