Savage Winter
Weather Blasts
North Atlantic
LONDON, (iP) — Fierce winter
storms lashed Europe and the
Atlantic for the third day yester
day. Mountainous seas, blizzards,
floods and freezing temperatures
took 72 lives.
The latest victims were the
eight seamen of a lifeboat crew
smashed on Scotland’s east coast.
The lifeboat had set off to rescue
the crew of a drifting lightship
and was driven ashore.
The lightship later radioed that
it had ben able to stop the drift
and was riding out the storm in
St. Andrews Bay.
Heavy rains and high winds
battered most of the British Isles.
Snowstorms and cold again dis
rupted transport on most of the
continent. Baltic ports in Poland
were closed. Hundreds of cars
were snowbound in Denmark.
Rain and snow continued in
most of Italy, heavily damaging
fruit crops.
The situation eased at Frejus
on the French Riviera where more
than 300 persons lost their lives
I in a dam break last week. Buses
and two cargo ships had been or
dered to stand by to remove per
sons in low-lying sections in case
of renewed floods.

How to Get the Bird . . .
■MINNEAPOLIS, UP) — The
ducks tipsy on whisky-soaked
com, slipped and skidded on the
ice and fell easy prey to the
hunting dog.
That, game wardens said, was
the way a number of tardy mi
grating mallards were snared
from the ice of Lake Calhoun, a
Minneapolis city lake.
Com soaked in whisky was
tossed onto the ice where the
ducks have been congregating.
When the birds became too
drunk to realize their predica
ment, a dog was sent out to re
trieve them.
Game Warden Ernie Boyd said
Phillip Ralph Turnbull, 20, Min
neapolis, has a date this after
noon with a Justice of the Peace
because of the novel game-bag
ging idea.
Boyd said six ducks were
found sobering up on Turnbull's
back porch, and that 36 more
ducks were in a home freezer.
State game enforcement offi
cials said no formal charge was
placed against Turnbull immedi
ately, frequently the custom in
game law violation cases. Turn
bull, however, was ordered to re
port before a Justice today, when
complaints will be drawn.
