Coldest Winter Weather Here Fipes were frozen, cars stalled, machinery slowed down and dozens of other in-conveniences were experien-ced here Tuesday. The rea-son ? It was just a bit chilly, the thermometer drop-ping to a record low at least for a long time, to 14 below zero early Tuesday morning. Old-time- rs trying to re-call a similar record, said it could have happened 20 years or so ago, but for the last ten or twelve years, it his never been so cold. The gradual drop in tem-perature followed a weekend snow storm, bringing eight to 12 inches of snow in the valleys and considerably more in the mountains. Land-owners and cattlemen were happy over the prospects of an increased water supply for the summer. Officials at the Ironton plant of US Steel said Tues-day, the cold weather was playing havoc with pipes, machines and other installa-tions at the plant early Tues-day morning. Garages and plumbers were busy thawing out pipes and starting cars. One thing the present cold spell has proved, that the theory of more cars, more people and more warm homes brings a warmer cli-mate, is quite out of order. We are now experiencing a very cold ed win-ter despite it all. Mapleton Plans To increase Culinary Water There will be a meeting for all citizens of Mapleton next Thursday evening, January 14, at 7:30 p.m., to discuss a pro-- 1 posed plan to increase the cul-inary water supply of the city, councilmen announced today.

An interesting comment in the article, states: "one of the many outstanding jobs they have completed in the past few years is the $400,000 high-way relocation project on U. S. because of the uncertainty and complications involved. The newspapers called it, 'a monu-ment to good judgement,' when Whiting and Haymond's con-struction crews literally crack-ed the 25-fo- ot thick hard ba-salt cap wide open so that equipment could move in an make quick work of the un-derneath sandstone, loose sand and red clay."
