MARION PROGRESS, MARION, N. C., THURSDAY, MAR. 28, 1940 Entire South Has j Easter Suitable | For Christinas' Washington, March 25.— A wave of wintry weather held most of the south in its grip yesterday as Easter celebrants sought to usher in the new season much earlier than usual. Snow matched the whiteness of the Easter lilies in many places and sub freezing temperatures defied the wearing of Easter finery. Tennessee and Arkansas were centers of heavy snowfall that ex tended well down into the Georgia and Alabama mountains. The United States weather obser ver in Richmond, Va., said the day’s average temperature there was 25, with an early morning low of 20, the coldest Easter Sunday in local weather bureau records. Tempera tures in other parts of the state hovered around 20 degrees except in the mountains where it was five to ten degrees lower. Spring flowers in North and South Carolina were covered with snow and some highways were icy. Tempera tures generally were around freezing or below. Governor E. D. Rivers and a par ty of Georgia road and county offici als were forced to abandon a trip through park areas in north Georgia mountains by a snow they said was six inches or more deep in places. More than five inches of ^now fell in Knoxville, Tenn., but most churches were filled with Easter wor shippers and hundreds attended sun rise services. A minor ice storm coated budding trees in Little Rock, Ark., with icic les. An eight-inch snow was recor ded at Piggott in the extreme north east corner of that state. Sunrise services at Little Rock were trans ferred indoors. «C«I? £ B ft •e ©» m Mitchell College Choir to Appear Here—The Mitchell College A Cappella Choir will give a program at the First Presbyterian church here next Sunday night at 8 o’clock.
