*?'*? **>'***? TVA Says Last Wiiter Worst Oi Record +t; TV A has published a re port on the "Snow and lea Storms of ! 959-I%0 la the Tennessea River Basin.** which states that "(he winter of 1959-1960 was the worst on record over much of the Tennessee River Basin." The maximum official a mount of snowfall reported for the five months of Nov ember 1950- -March I960 was 153.7 inches, occurring at Maple Sprin( Gap, North Carolina, although, the report states, "unofficial totals of more than 190 inches were reported at Newfound Gap in the Smokies and in the Max Patch region near Maple Spring Gap." The average snowfall over the basin was 34.J inches, or 25.4 inches more than the long term average of 9.4 In ches. The average over the area east of Chattanooga was 46.7 inches, compared with the normal 13 J Inches. West Veterans Administration Four important pieces of ad vice about gemng their checks were offered by the Veterans Administration to veterans who receive checks for any benefits. The first was a caution on changing address. Veterans were urged, if they move, to notify both VA and' the poit office, giving their old and the new address, so that the check may be for warded and not delayed. The second tip was to no tify VA if the check is for the wrong amount, instead of cashing it. This would save future trouble both for the veteran and for VA. The third point was to no tify VA at once if the check is lost or stolen or other is lost or stolen or other wise not received at the pro per time. If that's done, VA can proceed to trace it with out delay. The final point was advice to keep VA notified of any changes in the size of the veteran's family. Most benefit checks are based on the number of de pendents in the family, VA said, and the only way it can know of changes is if the veteran notifies them. This is important, VA said, whether the size of the family in creases or decreases, so that the checks can be made out for the correct amount. at (hat city, the mnpw 21.1 considerably high er than the long (arm average at S J Inches. "Ob March 2. I960, the greatest and moat destructive ice snrtn in the history a t the Basin struck die south central section of the Tenn essee River Basin and ad jacent areas outside the Basin in northeast Alabama and northwest Georgia. The min imum estimates of loss in Chattanooga suburban moun tain communities of Signal. Lookout, and Mowbray Moun tains and Missionary Ridge totaled $4,650,000. For the entire area the damage fig ure could be tripled and re main a conservative es timate." Conditions on the moun tains were "Just right" to produce the ice storm, the report states. A low pressure cell moving northeast through the area drew moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean and at the same time pulled cold air from the north. "This combination of moisture and cold air pro duced super-cooled rain which would freeze on contact with objects on or near the ground if ground temperature were also at freezing. If tempera tures had been a few degrees colder on the mountains, the precipitation would have fal len as sleet and would not have caused such extensive, damage. Had the temperature near the surface been 2 to 4 degrees higher there would have been no Icing con ditions/^ Promoted To Captain Devero Martin, son of Mr and Mrs. Fred Martin of Rt. 3, Murphy. N. C? was pro moted to Captain on August 30, I960 by the Department of the Army. Captain Martin is a grad uate of Murphy High School and North Carolina State Col lege. For the past two years he has been stationed at Ft. Lee, Virginia. His next as signment will be a tour of duty in Korea. He is married to the former Mildred Wilder of Frank linton, N. C? and they have two children. Mrs. Martin will reside in Franklincon while Captain Martin Is in Korea. DEAR S ALLY: Thisonewill sound pretty silly to y6u? but it's about sneezing. What does a person do in com pany when he feeis a sneeze coming on? Is he supposed to try to hold it back, or what? I can sometimes stifle a sneeze by pressing tightly on my upper lip with a finger but often even this doesn't' work, and then I'm embar rassed. Will you please set my mind at rest regarding this? GESUNDHEIT. DEAR GESUNDHEIT: There, is nothing at all impolite or embarrassing about sneezing in company?that is, if you. do it in the right way? cov ering your nose and mouth with a handkerchief and turning away. And if you can't grab a handkerchief in time, just turn your head away and cover up with a hand. Of course, excuse yourself, too. TO DISTURBED DAD: You should have told your 12-year old son long before now that he's an adopted boy. The longer you keep trying to hide this information from him, the greater his emotional shock could be some day when he finds out from someone else- - and he is certain to find out. He'll feel betrayed by you. Adopted children should grow up with that knowledge, so that it becomes an integral part of their thinking, along with the realization that they ' are loved none the less by the parents who gathered them into their arms. DEAR SALLY: My girl friend and I, both of us 14 years old, went to a movie a few nights ago and during the movie ? cute fellow came tn and sat next fo me. We kept smiling at each other during the movie, and than af ter the movie was over he asked If he could walk home with me. Since my girl friead lives only a short distance from the (heater, I left her and walked home with this boy. Now my girl friend acta very peeved, and I guess she's just jealous. Do you think she has a right to be this way? SHARON. DEAR SHARON: Shame and double-shame on you) First.' hnrws you ware disloyal and inconsiderate enough to desert - your girl friend for a fellow who moved u on you?and ?ototmI for all owl in vmndf m f VJ I practice o f either of these offenses will soon gain you. the kind of reputation no de cent girl would like. DEAR SALLY: Even though I'm called die "boss" in my office, I guess 1 must be a mouse? because certainly I don't have the courage to tell certain things to some of my women employees. My sec-, retary, for instance . She over - does it in the matter of make up and dress. With her ex cessive use of rouge, lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow, she looks sometimes like a bur lesque queen? and the frilly, fancy, lowcut dresses s he wears are more fitted for cocktail parties than office work. Mind you, I have no complaints regarding her work or manners. She's an excellent and efficient sec retary. and her conduct around die office Is irreproachable. If only sbe wouldn't mate a fas hion salon or theatrical stage out of my office. But I don't have the nerve to tell her outright. What can I do? T.L. DEAR T. L^ Why don't you put this leter and ' answer on her desk? and then run for cover? Ill bet you'll get some results though I DEAR SALLY: We're the married children of a 55 year-old widowed father who has just floored us with the news that he intends to marry again very soon. We realize of course, that he's bean living alone for a number of years, and that he's probably more or less lonely. But some how we find It too hard to accept the Idea of another woman coming In and taking over the position of our be loved mother. Do you think we should mention this to > our father? THE KIDS. ?BAR KIDS: How selfish can you get? You have your wen homes, are pro behiy very happy in them, and you admit the possibility that your father has been lonely. And yet you can't accept the idesr of his filling the void in his life with the companionship of a nother woman. There's no "a** la the world why he ?touUfa't try to extract all the happiness he can from the remaining years of his life.
