which at times reached torrential
proportions abated today, leaving
one dead from drowning and eight
killed in traffic—Additions to the
42 highway fatalities in southern
California’s blackest Christmas
and Christmas eve.
The two-day storm total ap
proximated three inches in most
valley communities, although it
approached five inches in the Pas
adena area. Seasonal marks are
more than double normal.
The rains sent slides roaring
across highways caved in excava
tions, turned gulleys into roaring
torrents and in some instances
weakened bridges and approaches.
Searchers watched without resul4
for the body of Ray L. Parcher, 47
swept into a flood channel as he
lost his footing while trying U
push a stalled automobile.
Aftermath of the unprecedented
holiday crash toll was announce
of all-out campaigns against
drunken driving by city, county
and state authorities, aimed at
preventing a repetition during the
New Year’s period.
