Grocers Warn Patrons
Grocers warned their patrons that
goods delivered would be at the cus-
tomers' responsibility. Milk and fruits
were frozen almost as soon as they
were taken outside the stores and veg-
etables froze in the wagons. All de-
liveries were greatly delayed.
Theaters Affected
All the theaters were affected in
some way by the storm. The Majestic
had practically no business, the
Wuerth had half its usual patronage,
the Orpheum was closed, and the Ar-
cade's business increased. The loca-
tions of the theaters were responsible
for their varying patronage, it is
thought.
No One Suffering
No one is suffering in the city, ac-
cording to indications. No cases have'
been reported to the police department
or the poor commission. The sher-
iff was not asked for free lodging by
anyone. Ann Arbor .is in much better
condition than many other Michigan
cities. Deaths from freezing have been
reported from all parts of the state.'
Stores Practically Closed
Most of the stores were practically
closed all day as there was no busi-
ness. The clerks either failed to ap-
pear or were sent home in most cases.
Several -stores closed their doors in
the morning to save fuel. The tele-
phone operators had a perfect attend-
ance and the company showed its ap-
preciation by having the girls' din-
ner served in the building. Two oper-
ators had their ears frozen on the
way to work. Barber shops on the
campus were unable to keep their
patrons warm and the barbers were so
cold they could hardly hold their raz-
ors. - One patron claimed the lather
froze on his face.
Pioneer Alumnus Gives Opinion
"This is the coldest day since be-
fore the Civil war," said Mr. J. Q. A.
Session, '56, yetserday. "One New
Year's day, about 50 years ago, we had
a day just about like this. The wind
was whistling just about the same and
the wolves were howling.' I have not
seen another day like it until today.
We have had more snow but not such
a destructive blizzard, since that
time.". Mr. Sessions will,celebrate
his 86th birthday Tuesday.
GALE HOLDS WESTERN STATES
IN GRIP, CAUSING SUFFERING
Co-Eds Take Daily Constitutional In
Red Machine With Brave
Fire Fighters
With the mercury registering more
tha 10 degrees below zero, the fire de-
partment was, summoned yesterday to
answer a fire at one of the league
houses. The big fire truck swung out
into the five-foot drifts with the fire
laddies clinging fast to the ice-cover-
ed rails and attempting to slip on rub-
ber coats over four or five sweaters.
The run was made in record time, but
alas! When the fire-fighters reached
the house, they found no fire. The
chimney was only taking its after-
dinner smoke. As the wgallant lads
hopped onto the big, red machine they
spied three bundled-up figures emerg-
ing from the house, clad in sheepskins,
toques, and arctics. The imitation
Eskimos turned out to be women
starting on their daily constitutional.
The laddies gallantly offered a lift
and the girls were helped up to a seat
on the big, purring truck. Who says
the days of chivalry are past?
