LIGHTS FUCKER OUT
ON CHRISTMAS EYE
There was some dismay among
Palmer housewives putting fin
ishing touches to Christmas Eve
dinners and party suppers as well
as guests anticipating Yuletide
festivities when lights over town
j flickered and in many homes
went out entirely. But in prob

for the rest of the night much to

probably caused the failure was
frost collecting on the lines.

killed instantly when the car
landed on the frozen surface of
the river below. The driver ap
parently got the wheels caught in
the snow embankment which I
runs between the new highway i
and where the old bridge was lo
cated, highway patrolmen said.
