NEAR ACCIDENT
THURSDAY IN VILLAGE
Quick thinking and alert
driving upon the part of Clint
Holmes averted a possible trag
edy on Front Street in the Vil
lage Thursday evening, chief of
police Burton Doucett^ reports
Mr. Holmes was coming to
ward town and, as he was pass
ing Conwtay Dock, a sled carry
| ink a 2!4 year old hov slid dir
; ectly in front of his Car. Mr.
* Holmes immediately brought
I his car to a stop, so an over
turned sled and a badly soared
little boy were the only results
! df what could have (been a ser
ous accident.
The police have been inform
ed of several other near acci
dents at this place and have
warned several children about
the dangers of sliding there or
at any place where they are in
danger of oncoming traffic.
“We sincerely hope both par
ents and children will take this
as a warning and take steps to
guard against further mishaps
of this sort.” said Mr. Doucette.
“The next driver might not
have his car under such good
control as Mr. Holmes.”

What is hoped will be the
record low of the current cold
snap was reached yesterday,
when a -1 degree (temperature
was recorded Iby the Coast &
Geodetic ’Survey Station here.
The mercury 'began its
march down Dec. 23. with a
4 aibove reading. On the 24th
it dropped to 2 above, on the
25 th it rose one degree to 3 a
bove for Christmas and on the
26th dropped to -1. This mom
ing the low was an even zero.
As a result of the cold, a
number of water lines were
frozen yeseterday. • Among
these reported were Peterson
Court, s, a number of homes on
Etolin Street, the Eire Hall
and the Lutheran Church
buildinlg — including the Sit
ka Public Utility office. The
servce line (to the, John Cush
ing residence had broken.
Mose of these were supplied
water by means of temporary
hoses. However, in all cases
the city mains were found to
be functioning well. While the
normal pressure is maintained
'all from 60 to 65 pounds, it has
been stepped up by the SPU
to 75 pounds to easily carry
the extra load oif water being
required as residents run taps
I to prevent their service lines
from freezing.
Conrad Krantz, manager of
the SPU, emphasized the fact
that no mains were frozen and
water pressure is high. He
pointed out and her pump had
been put into operation this
j morning and there was suif
jficient water for all homes to
j drip cold water taps to pre
! vent freezing.
, Hydrants are freezing up al
most as.fast as they are thaw
ed but a crew is making regu
I iar rounds to keep these thaw
| ed so (far as is possible,
i The Coad. & Geodetic Sur
vey station reported 'Sitka has
had nearly two weeks of max
imum temperatures below
freezing. A search of their De
cember temperature records
since 1952 indicated that only
i once — in December of 1949
— had a lower reading been
recorded. Then the mercury
dropped to -6.

hazard be invited. He plans
ty'hpoki inoculations.
^ Some had revisited I heir
homes, trying to salvage pro
perty while the city w?as two
thirds out of the (flood. Those
who attempted an early clean
up probably will have to take
out the mud again after the lat
est crest.
Communications improved
and except, at Yuba City the
death toils became more solid.
There were six dead in the Eu
reka area, 12 at Yuba City, 5
at Santa Cruz, three at Collfax
and one each at Sadia Rosa,
Stockton and Susanville.
