...England has been struck hardest by the cold, with record lows in every state. In East Haven, Vt, the temperature was heading toward a record -50° when the local weather station thermometer broke at -40°.

...energy usage as part of a three-day conservation competition. The effort was sponsored by the Northeast International Committee on Energy, founded in 1978 by the six New England Governors and the premiers of Canada's five eastern provinces. In addition to Monterey, the American communites were Middlebury, Vt; Ellsworth, Me.; Plymouth, N.H.; Mansfield, Conn.; and Burrillville, R.I. From the north came stiff competition-frozen stiff in some cases - from Summerside, P.E.I.; Grand FallsWindsor, Nfld.; Bridgewater, N.S.; St. Stephen, N.B.; and Baie Comeau...
