In the face of weather pre
dictions of more snow, Salinians this week wondered
where they'd put it if they
got it.
Though DPW crews have
worked around the clock, city streets are only partially
cleared. Hundreds of truck-
loads of snow have been
dumped at the sewage treatment plant site but. said City
Administrator Mike Strait,
"we're running out of dumping space". Cars stalled on
every street slowed the excavations.
Freezing  rain on  Tuesday

FIRE HALL BUILOIHO TO START SOON
The new fire hall, to be constructed as early as weather permits, will look
like the architect's sketch above, shown facing on E. Michigan Ave. Drive-through
bays will give trucks an exit on N. Harris St. The garage will berth four to six
trucks; plans also call for a meeting room large enough to be partially converted
to dormitory space when the area needs a full-time, sleep-in fire department.
Showers, kitchen, office, and storage space are provided. City voters approved
a $80,000 bond issue for the .building, in the November election.

The only people in town with the right type of
transportation Friday (except for snowmobile owners)
were the Boy Scouts, who had foresightedly built an
Alaskan-type dog sled. But then they couldn't get it
where it was going. _;*
The Scouts worked on the sled for a week in advance, to take part in a "Klondike camp-out" at Kensington Metropolitan Park. There was no snow at all"
while the sled was "under construction . . . and then there
was so much that "driving to Kensington was deemed
inadvisable . . . to say the least. Nevertheless, the sled
is completed; a team of sled dogs is all that's needed to
put them in business as a taxi service in the next bli_7
zard.

the Ron Attinger family, and
Bev is no longer teaching vocal music in the schools . . .
she's singing lullabyes at
home. -The Attingers are the
delighted parents of William
Carroll, born December 24,
1966. Bev says she's checking
out the youngster's fourth,
and fifth fingers (for stretch
in playing the piano, of
course); and Ron has inspected his embouchure and
which the_ Millers attend.
The shower included "just
about everything" . . . linen,
clothins., bedding and four
beds. But the beds, instead
of arriving at the shower,
were delivered directly to the
house, at 238 S. Ann Arbor
St., and the family stayed
there on Saturday night.
William Miller,. his wife,
Edna, and their five children
