Show "It is almost as good as if I had ordered and manufactured it myself," J. Cecil Altar declared Friday. . , He was, of course, referring to Salt Lake City's balmy "Indian summer" westher, for Mr. Alter is the lederal meteorologist meteor-ologist in charge of the weather bureau here, and when he The Weather says it he always means weather. "Did you . ever see anything more beautiful?" he asked. "With weather like this, tourists going to California to spend the winter are apt to stop here and forget their itinerary." The only cloud in Mr. Alters sky was the blanket of "smog" hanging over the city early in the morning, but he pointed out it had disappeared later in the day. Most of the wind recently has been from the southeast, blowing the night and early morning smoke from the residential district over the business district, he explained. To bolster his declaration of fine weather, Mr. Alter cited the following figures: Minimum temperature in Salt Lake City Friday was 42 degrees, while the maximum Thursday was 84. Thursday's mean was 52 degrees, six above normal. ; : i . 1 |
