Most of the weather-wise plains people battened down and bowed in submission to the storm. But in Kansas, Mrs. Maxine Laughlin, 30, of Jetmore, who was eight months pregnant, got in her car and drove to Dodge City for a prenatal checkup. The car stalled; she set out afoot and was found dead in an eight-foot drift. In Stromsburg, Neb., Myron and Emeral Johnson bogged down in their car trying to reach a veterinarian with their sick dog.
