As he has on many days since November, Kain, 18, spent Wednesday trudging about, looking for a job in this southwestern Ohio area near Cincinnati. He told police he walked from Sharonville to Norwood, which borders Cincinnati, and then to Fairfield, then back toward home. The walk he described would be some 30 miles.

And asked to assess the situation, he said: Its bad. No question about it. Bad. All of the work from the previous storm wasnt fully accomplished. Only a Limited amount of snow was hauled away. The rest of it is still there and now we got some more. Where the hell do you push it. While a forecast called for more snow for Milwaukee over the weekend, Howard Thompson, head of the citys bureau of sanitation, was optimistic.

The white-haireMarvin, fighting a $1 million lawsuit, told a lawyer for Michelle Triola Marvin that he may of Miss enamored have become Marvin at some point but he didnt fall in love with her. The affair broke up in 1970 and she is now suing the actor for $1 million, to which she says she is entitled, much as a former wife would be. The case has already made legal history because of a ruling by the California Supreme Court that unmarried persons could sue over property rights.

Isnt it a fact you considered her the only woman in the world for you? the attorney asked. No, Marvin declared again.

(AP) officials in Louisville moved Margaret Lewis to a comfortable apartment in December fearing she would freeze to death in her dilapidated home. woman was found But the dead of exposure back in the vacant house where the doors and windows had been broken out by vandals. She was curled up on a bed of newspapers, and friends and relatives said memories had brought her home. Her funeral was Thursday. The body was found last Friday, curled up as if asleep for the night on newspapers on the floor of the living room. Junk left by vandals was scattered about. A picture of her late husband, Garrett Lewis, was found close by, along with a family Bible on the mantel and two family pictures on the wall. Medical officials had to wait until Tuesday to perform an autopsy because the body was frozen. Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Robert Carter said the autopsy showed that Mrs. Lewis died of exposure but it was impossible to tell how long she had been dead. She was diessed for bed, and her other clothes were not recovered, but police officer John Hass said foul play has been ruled out. Sister Cathy Bohler, a social worker for the state Department of Human Resources who helped her get medicine and groceries, had been unable to find Mrs. Lewis at her apartment just before Christmas, and neighbors said they hadnt seen her for several weeks. The citys housing inspection office got Mrs. Lewis to move Dec. 1 by ordering her house vacated. A city relocation officer, Sister Garellen McGinlcy, found her an apartment 15 blocks away and said she seemed pleased with it. But two of Mrs. Lewis' nieces, who live in Lexington, said the move upset her. One, Joyce Jones, said Mrs. Lewis had lived in the old neighborhood, in a house just across the alley from the home where she died, lor a long, long time, and her two husbands had died while she was living there. Mrs. Lewis moved across the alley when the house where she had lived most of her married life was tom down a few years ago.
