Page 12-Thursday, February 12, 1981-The Michigan Daily 38 dead as vicious storm heads east From AP and UPI The worst winter storm of the season rolled into the East yesterday with snow, torrential rains and howling winds, leaving the midlands blockaded by snowdrifts and shivering in deadly cold. Forecasters said the storm showed no signs of diminishing. AT LEAST 38 people lhave been killed in the storm's three-day march from Texas to the East. Temperatures dipping to 'nearly 50 degrees below zero and strong winds boosted the death toll. Plunging temperatures turned lower Michigan into a giant ice-skating rink yester- day, slowing the recovery from Tuesday's win- ter storm-the worst in the state in three years. At least two weather-related deaths were reported in Michigan. A Southfield man died of a heart attack while shoveling snow and an Eaton Rapids girl was killed in a traffic ac- cident on a slippery road. TUESDAY'S HEAVY snow-up to 14 inches in some areas-was followed by an Arctic air mass that sent temperatures plummeting. Wind chill temperatures dropped to 50 below zero along Lake Superior. Thousands of students in public and private schools were idle for the second day, mainly because buses couldn't cope with the sheets of glare ice that formed. Detroit, which came to a virtual standstill Tuesday, showed signs of life yesterday but all public and private schools remained closed. MOST STATE offices in Lansing stayed open, but the House of Representatives can- celed its afternoon session again yesterday. Heaviest snow fell in northeast lower Michigan. The National Weather Service reported 14 inches fell at Alpena and Atlanta and 12 inches at Harrisville, Eight inches of wet snow fell in Detroit, followed by a steady rain. Although the U.P. escaped the brunt of Tuesday's storm-the worst in Michigan since the blizzard of Jan. 27, 1978-that was not the case yesterday., SNOW COMBINED with cold winds made driving a life-or-death proposition in the eastern U.P. and extreme northern portion of the Lower Peninsula. Portions of main roads were blocked by drifts and many side roads were closed altogether. With the new snowfall, overall snow depths reached 33 inches in Pellston and 30 inches at Sault Ste. Marie and Whitefish Point. On the national scene, low temperature records were set or matched in at least a dozen cities, including North Platte, Neb., where a minus 22 degree reading tied the mark established in 1899. Hurricane-force winds of up to 82 mph were recorded in the Adirondacks of New York state. KENNEDY International Airport in New York City was closed during the morning due to fog, but later reopened. Delays at LaGuardia Airport forced Eastern Airlines to cancel its Washington shuttle for several hours. In the Carolinas, windstorms killed three people, damaged homes and businesses and brought down power lines. Power outages also were reported in Georgia, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania. The storm has dumped as much as two feet of snow in the Rockies and more is expected. Meanwhile, in the Northwest, warm, moist air sweeping in off the Pacific was trapped in cold air over valleys, causing freezing rain and snow that triggered a rash of traffic accidents in Washington and Oregon. For Thursday, rain was forecast over the Pacific Northwest and the central Pacific Coast region, with snow or snow showers over the northern Plateau and the northern Rockies. Widely scattered snow showers were forecast from Wyming to Illinois. - - - ------- Quality of. :military recruits improves Food banks recycle leftovers WASHINGTON (AP) - Re- enlistments and recruit quality, key measures of volunteer effectiveness in the U.S. armed forces, improved significantly late last year, a Pentagon report showed yesterday. Defense officials said they believe the sagging civilian economy was chiefly responsible for this development in the last three months of 1980. An 11:7 percent pay boost, which became effective last Oct. 1, probably helped convince more men and women already in service to sign up for another BUT THEY VOICED doubt that the hitch, officials said. pay raise had much impact in attrac- ting new volunteers because, they said, the raise had not yet been widely adver- tised during that quarter. These of- ficials said the effect of the pay raise on recruiting may become evident in this quarter. According to the new Pentagon report, 61.5 percent of those eligible to re-enlist in October-December last year enrolled for an additonal term of ser- vice. This was a 6.1 percent increase over the re-enlistment percentage in the previous year as a whole. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)-America," the land of plenty, wastes enough food to feed its hungry several times over-more than $6 billion worth a year, by one government estimate. Hoping to change that, a network of "food banks" has sprung up to save the nation's leftovers from the garbage dump and put them on the plates of those who need them. "IF WE RECOVERED everything that goes to waste here, we couldn't consume 25 percent of it," said John Van Hengel, executive director of Second Harvest, the country's only national food recovery network. Based in Phoenix, Ariz., Second Harvest solicits food from the giants of the food industry, then stores it in one of its 30 non-profit member food banks. The food banks, in turn, run their own local distribution projects. Potential for the network seems limitless. The value of all wasted food that can be recovered equals the $6.2 billion spent on the national food stamp program in 1979, Van Hengel said. Van Hengel ticks off some recent donations: 200,000 pounds of frozen trout, 5 million pounds of frozen corn on the cob, enough dehydrated soup to make 7 million gallons. Manufacturers senit food in packages that were short weighted or damaged. Other products were over-stocked or the stuff of marketing ideas that flopped.

It's now anytime, any season, and you just want a good meal with good friends in a pleasant surrounding. Maybe just some prime rib of beef and a few beers. Whatever your gustatory whim, the Lord Fox Restaurant is the ideal place to realize it. They offer an extensive menu of meat and seafood entrees, as well as unique appetizers and desserts, in a peaceful rustic setting, it occupies a spacious country home-complete with fireplace and a three-level outdoor porch on Plymouth Road, just minutes from -down- town Ann Arbor. Under the direction of chef Peter Rasmussen (named Chef of the Year by the Michigan Chefs' 200 Club), the Lord Fox kit- chen is particularly proud of its Beef Wellington-a tender filet of beef, coated with pate, mushrooms, and shallots, and baked in a pastry crust. Other meat specialties include the Veal Oscar-veal top- ped with asparagus, crabmeat and bathed in Bearnaise sauce; and the Genghis Khan-a filet, chicken legs, pork and lamb chops, and a lobster tail served on a flaming sword. r Fresh lobsters are flown in weekly from New England and prepared to order. Dover sole is flown in from Olde England, sauteed with butter and almonds, then filleted at the table. Oysters Rockefeller and Clams Casino. are two other highlights of the Lord Fox or the seafood menu. (During the month of February, e lob- there will be a special on crab legs-regularly ligny- $12.50, they'll be $6.95 throughout the mon- th.) Thought on a bed of ice, the anchovies mashed, and the dressing prepared all according to tradition. The result is a perfect light meal- for two. To complete the picture, the Lord Fox offers a wide selection of desserts, from French pastries to flaming Cherries Jubilee or Bananas Foster. They also offer a unique array of flaming coffee drinks and liqueur-based ice cream drinks (ask for a Frangelico-sicle and be prepared for a treat.) As if this weren't enough, the Lord Fox also has probably the largest wine list in the area, with over 275 selections. There are generous representations from the major European vineyards-including some rare old Bordeaux (such as a '53 Cheval Blanc and a 1919(!) Chateau Montrose) and some phenomenal German Eisweins. The Lord Fox also offers an impressive selection of vintage California wines-more than 60 California reds and whites, including some rarities like a 1970 Beaulieu Georges de la Tour Cabernet Sauvignon. There are even some Australian wines recently added to the list (the Cabernet Shiraz, a virtually undiscovered gem of a wine, is a great bargain). For festive occasions, or just for fun, more than 20 Champagnes and sparkling wines are available. To help the eager diner choose wisely among such abun- dance, the Lord Fox wine staff is always on hand to offer their expert advice and service. The Lord Fox is located at 5400 Plymouth Road, 2 miles east of 1-23.
