BLIZZARD.. .TERMED WORST OF CENTURY
m
1
Coughing automobile engines, the "putt-putt", of
snowmobiles, residents wielding shovels to clear entrances to their homes, farmers searching fields for
unaccounted livestock
Just a fewactivites Monday morning as Milford area
residents began shaking off the "blows" aimed their
way by a raging winter blizzard which immobilized most
of the Uppsr Midwest.
Many oldtimers have termed the three-day barrage
of snow, wind and sub-zero climate as the "worst of
the century." And these persons braved the winter
onslaughts of 1936, 1940 and 1965. It was the combination of over seven inches of snow, 35 to 50 mph windi
and temps diving five to ten degrees below the zero
mark that manufactured the now historic storm.
Weather conditions last Thursday gave some indication the "monster" was on its way. A shroud of
fog hovered over Dickinson County, and occasionally light
snow fell. And • forecasters gave reports that the
storm was approaching.
Although Friday was cloudy and cold, everything was
"go"—schools had started on schedule, it was business
as usual on Okobojl Ave., and highway travel was
normal.
About mid-morning, tiny flakes of snow
started dropping and the wind increased-still no indication to. unsuspecting residents of what was to come.
By noon, the white stuff became heavier (and more
of it) and it was being whipped even farther and faster
from the north-northwest; Schools were dismissed
and residents began converging on grocery stores to
replenish food stores, preparing for a possible oneday incarceration in their homes.
It was early Friday afternoon that the ever-increasing
storm, began to strangle the area. Highway travel
was impossible as huge drifts formed to block off
cars and trucks. Many motorists and truckers were
forced to abandon their vehicles and seek shelter.
State, county and municipal plowing crews had to
give up. They were no match for the wind-whipped
snow as tt stacked In piles up to 12 feet. Even the
versatile snowmobiler was limited as visibility reached
absolute zero.
Predictions were for the blizzard to subside by
Saturday afternoon so most Dickinstonites planned a
"night at home" with thoughts of resuming normal life
the next day. But Mother Nature had other ideas. Late
Friday night, most of the Lakes Region experienced a
power outage-electrical inlets to the area falling victim
to the wind and snow. Power failed for many about
10 p.m. Friday.
For many hundreds that night was a nightmare.
Their cozy homes became cold homes. They were
not only without heat, but had no lights or "juice" to
activate appliances, radios and TVs. And there was no
place to go-not even the most bold dared brave the
elements that had them trapped.
When Saturday morning finally came, there was no
letup in sight. Power company crews, aided by snowplows, reached critical substations and before noon
most homes' electricity had been restored, but residents
on the west side of West Okobojl Lake were destined
Again, Mother Nature has
humbled us.
So arrogant we are. Men on

Along comes a storm like
last weekend and we're down
on our knees-we have yet to
conquer the elements. No way
can we defeat this kind of
competition.

for another 24 hours of being "powerless." They waited
until Sunday a.m. for electricity.
The first hint of the blizzard subsidingcame Saturday
night when the snow stopped and the winds dropped to
15 mph—visibility increased to l/16th of a mile. It was
time then for maintenance crews to again attempt clearing streets and highways-but It was slow, since even
the heavy duty equipment had problems slicing through
mammoth mounds.

Livestock Losses Mount
Farmers in the Milford area
are still attempting to determine their livestock'losses
during the weekend storm.
Many cattle feeders have
already reported the loss of
from 25 to 40 head of feeders
and breed cows. And nearly
as many swine producers suffered heavy losses. •
Jim Yungclas,,1 : Dickinson
County extension director, and
Duane Curry. ASCS manager,
spent Monday polling (by telephone) livestock producers in
the county. Yungclas told the
Mail late Monday that the
report shows-over WO head
of cattle perished in the storm.
"This figure could be higher,
however, when we complete the
calls.',' he added.
The CED said thatthe number
of pigs lost should be less since
that is a more confined feeding
operation.
..'
"This is a real bad situation,"
Yungclas stated, "since many
farmers' l?74 field crop was
not up to par-add this to their
dilemma; and it's going to be
tough going for them (farmers)." He also cited the fact
that many of the cattle cost the
farmers about $300 and on the
current market they would bring
only about $150. Winter feeding
.had been planned on to fatten
the cattle to a point where the
loss would not have been so
much, the director said.

Special
UMMploymeit
Unemployed Iowa workers
who haven't been eligible for
regular unemployment insurance can sign up for Special
Unemployment Assistance beginning Monday, Jan. 6. the Iowa
Employment Security Commission announced today.
The Special Unemployment
Assistance program, passed by
Congress in December, provides unemployment payments
tor farm, local government,
domestic and various other
involuntarily
unemployed
workers who haven't been
protected by regular state
or federal unemployment insurance programs.
"We are urging any unemployed fowan who is out of
a job through no fault of his
own to contact one of our local
unemployment insurance offices or his local employment
service office as soon as
possible to see if he or she
is eligible for this program."
Commission Chairman Abe D.
Clayman stated.
live months.
An SUA area is designated
by the Secretary of Labor aa
an area that is served by a
prime sponsor under specified
sections of the Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act
of 1973 (CETA). In Iowa, SUA
areas are Linn County (Cedar
Rapids); Central Iowa Regional
Association of Local Governments (Boone, Story, Jasper,
Marion, Polk, Dallas, Madison,
and Warren Counties); Black
Hawk (Waterloo); Scott (Davenport); Woodbury (Sioux City)
and Balance of State (other 87
counties).
Workers who qualify for SUA
will receive the same weekly
and total amounts of unemployment assistanceas workers who
are protected by the regular
unemployment insurance program in their state. The
amount will be based on their
earnings in acceptable covered
and non-covered work in the
52-week period immediately
preceding their initial claim
for SUA. The total amount paid
cannot exceed 26 times the
weekly amount.
Currently in Iowa, an unemployed worker under the state
unemployment insurance program can receive a maximum
of $80 a week down to a minimum of $10 a week depending
upon his past earnings. The
average weekly payment is currently $65.
An Supplemental Unemployment Assistance period will
last 13 weeks or longer if the
high unemployment rate continues. Under certain conditions,
an eligible individual could
receive these benefits for as
long as 26 weeks.
Commission o f f i c i a l s
stressed that persons, who
receive supplemental unemployment assistance 'payments
will be required to meet the
same criteria as workers protected under the regular
unemployment insurance program. In other words, they
must be able,' available and
actively seeking work and
willing to accept suitable work
if it is available.
These unemployed workers
will also be expected to register
with the employment service
for assistance in finding jobs.
The first week ending date
that a person may claim supplemental unemployment insurance is December 28.
Commission o f f i c i a l s
estimate that approximately
6,000 lowans may be eligible
for this program during the
first quarter of 1975. Officials
forecast that payments may
total $1,560,000 depending on
the number of persons who
qualify.

The Rights of Children
. Historically children have not
had a "meaningful voice in the
community." We assumed that
adults spoke for children, protected them and provided for
them. Certainly this is done
by many adults, yourself perhaps. But when we look for laws
which specify the rights of children they are scarce, even
non-existent.
Not until a 1967 court
decision was it finally decided
(even considered) that children
do have some Constitutional
rights. And still, the extent
and limits of those rights have
not been clarified. It has been
said that "laws governing the
treatment of animals are more
specific than those with respect
to children....It is time to look
at children as persons—individuals with rights, dignities,
needi and separate Individualities.'''
Children are one of our
largest and most vulnerable
minority groups, but they have
no voice In political processes
and do not directly participate
In lobbies on their own behalf.
Their rights can be, and frequently are infringed upon by
adults. How might the limits
of adult control be drawn so as
not to infringe on the child's
right to grow in freedom in
accordance with the spirit
of civil liberties embodied in
the Constitution?
Six "Rights" for the wellbeing of children are drawn
from reports of the White
House Conference on Children:
1. The right to grow In a
society which respects the
dignity of life and Is free of
proverty, discrimination and
other forms of degratlon.
2. The right to be born and
be healthy and wanted.
3. The right to be nurtured
by affectionate parents.
4. The right to be a child
during childhood...and to have a
meaningful voice in the community.
5. The right to be educated
to work toward one's potential.
6. The right to societal mechanislms to enforce the foregoing rights.
'Development of satisfactory
legislation is a slow process,
lawmakers need help from
parents, care givers and
teachers who arewith children
constantly. As people concerned about children we each
hav an obligation to voice
concerns and suggestions to
those who -sponsor legislation
on behalf of children.
In the meantime, we also
must accept individuals respon-

State Solpns
Faced with
Two Major •
Issues Tom Whitney, the Iowa Chair
of the Democratic Party, stated
that increasing the progresglvity of Iowa's income tax and
placing limitations on corporate
farming should be two Of-the
top legislative priorities for'the
upcoming Democratically, controlled legislature.
.;:••
These issues were most
prominent amongst forty-two
which were listed during a press
conference held at the -Fort
Des Molnes Hotel in Des Moines
at which Whitney outlined what
suggestion and counsel -'the
party will offer to the Democratic caucuses in the legislature. Whitney was careful to
state that the party had no
intention of creating legislation
leaving that to the legislators.
Whitney stated that he felt
that the people of Iowa had a
right to know what the Democratic Party's priorities:" are.
The upcoming session will be
the first in ten years in wh'ich
Democrats will be in control
of both houses of the ,Iowa
legislature.
Those issues given thegreatest prominence in the party's
statement were;
;
Making Iowa's income tax
more progressive; overhauling
Iowa's corporate taxes, a bill
to limit corporate farming and
vertical integration in agriculture; and improvement in Iowa's
workmens compensation and retirement system; modification
of the school finance law; increasing the grant payments
for those receiving categorical
assistance grants; election'law
reform; revamping of 'Iowa's
criminal code; increased efforts In the areas of alcoholism
and drug abuse; prison reform;
a series of proposals on energy
conservation; land use and
making'thin commerce commlmsion more consumer oriemed.
One noted proposal was to
establish a select committee
on the problems of small businessmen.

Scripturej (elected by
The American Bible Society
What was the Mona Lisa thinking about when Leonardo da Vinci painted her? Was she smiling? Some say that
she was actually closer to tears!
It is centuries since Leonardo and his mode! lived,
but throngs still stand before the painting in the Louvre
and wonder at it. It is much smaller than people expect,
but that in no way diminishes its attraction. For the Mona
Lisa symbolizes the mystery of life. No matter how great
our curiosity, we can never know all the answers.
There is a great deal of mystery in the Church too.
Often this bothers those who would seek a logical explanation for everything. That is where we need faith—for faith
is, in part, an acceptance of what we inherently fetl but
can't prove in ordinary, everyday terms.
Where to find faith? Admittedly, it can be quite a
quest. But a good place to start that quest is in church.

Both MHS Cage Teams Lose at Sutheriand
Experiencing another 'cool'
night from the field, Coach (tordon .lorgensen's Maroon cagers
dropped another Sioux Valley

at Sutherland, 63-60.
Even though the Tigers hit
47 percent on field goal tries
the second half, the Pioneers
matched the victors in total
i FGs, 28-28—the deciding factor being a 7-1 edge for
Sutherland from the charity
line.
"It really hurt us when

fouled out
late
in the third period,"
said the Maroon mentor. "He
had held Sutherland's Schelka
to a pair of field goals the first
half, but when he left

Tiger 'big man' scoring 14
points."
"Craig I^arson
had his
best game of theseason," added
the coach. Larson, senior
sharpshooter, racked up 34
points on 16 FGs and a pair
of free throws to take team and
game scoring honors. Doug
Hoffman came in with seven
points, CurtSchnell added eight.
Jack Stinogel five, Kraninger
four and Mike Nece two.

stanza brought the locals even

Changes in Fishing Rules
Iowa's 1975 fishing regulations were recently adopted
by the Iowa Conservation
Commission at their January
meeting.— The new regulations
will become effective March 1,
1975, and run through Feb.
29, 1976. t There are some
notable changes for anglers to
familiarize themselves with
,for
the upcoming season.
The open season for catching
walleyes, northern, pike and
muskellunge or hybrid will be
a continuous open season in
all waters of the state except
the NATURAL LAKES OF
DICKINSON
AND CERRO
GORDO COUNTIES. Theseason
on these species opens in the
natural lakes of the above
counties May 3, 1975, and
continues through Feb. 15,1976.
Muskellunge or hybrid must
again be at least 30 inches
long to be legal-sized fish from
any Iowa waters.
Snagging of paddlefish will
be legal from March 1, 1975,
through Aug. 31, 1975. The
areas open to snagging these
fish are the Iowa boundary waters of the Mississippi River
and Missouri Rivers; Missouri River oxbow lakes which
are open to the river; Iowa
River from the lower dam at
Iowa City to the Mississippi
River and the Des Moines
River from the bridge on Iowa
State Highway 1 at Keosauqua
to the Mississippi River. The
daily catch limit is two with
a possession limit of four
paddlefish allowed.
There will now be 15 lakes
in Iowa which will have minimum length requirements on
largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. The following
lakes will have a minimum
length limitation of 12 inches
before a bass can legally be
taken: Silver Lake-Delaware
County; Hickory Hills LakeTama County; George Wyth
Lake- Black Hawk County;
Beeds Lake-Franklin County;
Polimiller Lake - Lee County; 1-280 Park Lakes (2 lakes)
-Scott County.
Bass must be at least 14
inches long in the following
lakes:
Walnut Creek Marsh-Ringgold County; Lake Icaria^
Adair County; Lake PahojaLyon County; Lake EasterPolk County; Bays Branc.hGuthrie County; Big Creek
Lake - Polk County; Wilson
Park
Lake-Taylor County;
Gold Springs Lake-Cass County: Green Valley-Union County.
Sledders Urged
•' The Iowa Conservation Commission today discouraged
snowmobile enthusiasts from ..
carrying extra containers of
snowmobile fuel in their cars
because of the safety factors
involved.
Commission officials warned
that it is possible that sparks
from static electricity generated from metal, cloth or foam
objects rubbing against each
other could ignite gas vapors
in the truck. Also loose or de^
fective wiring, CB radio equipT
ment, or the switch which
operates the trunk light can produce a spark which could be
disasterous.
Another highly dangerous
situation is the ever present
potential of a rear-end collision In which the gas container
could be ruptured, immediately
increasing the danger of an explosion.
The Commission suggested
that snowmobile operates plan
ahead and acquire sufficient gas
in the area they plan to visit.
It is best to carry extra fuel
in regulation containers either
strapped or otherwise held in
brackets in the back of a pickup or mounted on a snowmobile
trailer.
The Commission also urged
snowmobilers to continue their
efforts to conserve fuel. By
keeping their machines well tuned, avoiding jack-rabbit starts
and maintaining constant running speeds, fuel consumption
should decrease.
