You don't need the
weatherman to tell you.
that the past few days
have been more reminis
cent of late March or
early April than late
February.
The temperatures have
been close to 7Gf and
warm showery weather
has taken hold over the
area. ...
i You may, wonder Just
what happened to all
that snow, ice, and frigid
weather that socked us in
for most of January.
First, our old friend
the Jet Stream that
hish altitude
that controls' the air
masses over North
America has taken a
northerly course over
Canada. This has taken
the bulk of the frigid air
to the far north and has
allowed the warmer Gulf
of Mexico air to take a
hold over the Carolinas.'
The winter storm track
is now running from the
Pacific , Northwest
southeastward to Texas, '
alnnu rhe Gulf of Mex
ico, northeastward over;
the Carolinas, and final
ly out into the Atlantic.
This has accounted for
the numerous rainy days'
which have broken the.
back of th two-year-old;
Noth Carolina.drought.
N Whether the frigid
weather uf winter is gonej
for good is highly unlike-,
ly. After all, it's still;
February and March has',
been known to release
helt of air monstef snow storms in
this area.,lne tickle Jet
Stream could change
again and bring the
"Mnrlh Dnla" smith'
again. But for now,
winter is giving us a
much-deserved rest. We
should make the most of
it!'

and elderly persons on
fixed incomes, the situa
tion is desperate.
The normal supply of
"trickle-down" housing
which lower income per
sons have traditionally
relied on the meet their
needs just isn't available
anymore; new housing
construction has drop
ped to its lowest level
since World War II; and
middle income families
rather than pay
today's high cost of
housing are staying
where they are. Investors'
and speculators, seeking
-.to take advantage of in
flationary prices, are
buying up more and
more of the better rental
; projects for conversion
to condominiums.
