...March 12, 1888 the heavens reached down and smothered the North Atlantic coast under a blanket of snow from 21 in. to 50 in. deep. For a full week the normal activities of civilized life all but ceased. Since that time, all winter cataclysms in the east have been compared to the historic Blizzard of '88. There were memorable storms in 1893, 1910 and 1920. But last week brought two storms which lashed New England to its knees, knotted its icy grip on New York and New Jersey and jolted the entire Southeast. One swept up from Cape Hatteras...

When his radio went dead he had to fight by guesswork along an unfamiliar course. Then a chill fog enveloped him and his plane started to fall. Frantically he tore open its mail compartment, began to dump sack after sack over the side. A farmer...

...Hoevenberg run is the only place in the U. S. to practice a sport imported from Switzerland for the last Winter Olympic Games. It is a deep trench winding like an ice-lined gutter down the mountainside. Sleds ordinarily reach a maximum speed of about 60 m. p. h., gathering speed by riding high on the banks of its three dangerous turns- Whiteface, Shady Corner, Zig-Zag. The Colgate sled went a little faster than that. When it reached the bottom-still intact despite the missing bolt-its time for four heats was 7:57.31, a new U. S. record...
