Frost Plays Havoc With Water
Supply and Concrete Highways
Sub-zero temperatures kept main-
tenance men of Dallas-Shavertown
Water Company on the jump over
the
Glenview Terrace section of Fern-
brook and
weekend especially in
in Shavertown where
mains as well as service lines froze
in exposed areas.
Dozens of householders were
without water for varying periods
while crews worked extra shifts
to remedy the difficulties. In some
areas the crews found that frost
has penetrated the ground to a
depth of forty-four inches.
Gus Walters, of Dallas Portable
Welding Company, was employed
to thaw many-of the pipes electric-
ally. Using this process, mains 200
to 400 feet in length are thawed
in about twenty-four hours while
service lines connecting -mains to
homes were thawed in from one
to two hours.
Remarking on the depth to which
the
frost has penetrated, Zel Garinger
sexton at Wardan Cemetery where
a heavy blanket of snow covers
the ground, said this week that
he found frost to a depth of only
two inches while digging a grave.
Tt is in the uncovered areas that
it has done the most damage and
especially along State Highways
that have been well cleared. Sev-
eral bad heaves have appeared in
the Tunkhannock - Dallas Highway
and on many other main routes
in this area.
Covered Dish Supper
Jessie Austin Brickel Class of Dal-
las Methodist Church will hold a
covered dish luncheon at the Church
next Friday evening. Committee
members who will serve dessert and
coffee are Mrs. Della Bellas, Mrs.
Elsie Boehme, Mrs. Myrtle Benner,
