Storm toll rises in midland
By United Press International
Three-year-old Nicholas
Todavchick woke up early
Thursday and left his suburban
Chicago home to play in the
snowdrifts, unbeknownst to his
parents. Two hours later, the
child’s body was found in the
snow, only three feet from the
house.
The Todavchick boy’s father
was working on an emergency
snow-removal crew at O’Hare
when his son crawled into the
snow and died of exposure.
The April storm transformed
Chicago into a snow-shackled
ghost town, forced National
Guardsmen into rescue work on
snow-clogged Michigan high
ways, then swept into the East
with hurricane-force killer
winds, heavy snow and rain.
Two workmen were killed
when 60-mile-an-hour winds
collapsed a townhouse under
construction in Washington,
D.C., and an 8-year-old girl was
struck by a tree limb and killed
in the National Zoological Park
in the nation’s capital.
Winds gusting up to 75 miles
per hour raked Pennsylvania
today for the second day,
causing widespread electrical
outages and property damage
and creating near-blizzard con
ditions that stranded hundreds
of motorists.
Hope Rosado, 35, Wrightsvil
le, Pa., mother of five children,
was killed when 55-mile-an-hour
gusts toppled her mobile home
on her as she tried to stabilize
it. She was pronounced dead at
the scene by York County
Coroner Kathryn Fourhman.
Blowing snow whipped into
northwestern Pennsylvania and
the Laurel Mountains Thursday

and City Council will join Upson
County Commissioners during
ceremonies cutting the world’s
longest birthday cake (245 feet
long) baked and donated by
Fred Kitchens of Mell-O-Krust
Bakery.
The 8,000-slice cake will be
cut at 4:00 p.m. as the R. E. Lee
Junior High Band holds a
concert on the courthouse
square.

state throughout the day,

central counties.

an emergency in the county

Pillsbury buys
Weight Watchers
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) - Pillsbury Co., which
makes mixes for cakes and other high calorie goodies, has
bought Weight Watchers, a diet program designed to trim
down people who are overweight.
“I wonder if dieters could eat any of the things Pillsbury
makes?” said Ellen Holmgren, 30, of Champlin, Minn.,
who lost 12 pounds before quitting Weight Watchers.
A person desiring to melt away extra pounds pays $3 a
week to attend Weight Watchers classes held in 50 states
and 16 foreign countries. Weight Watchers also offers a
line of low-calorie foods.
Pillsbury Thursday announced an agreement in
principle to add Weight Watchers International, Inc., of
Great Neck, N.Y., to its diversified food business. Weight
Watchers would get 795,000 shares of Pillsbury stock
valued at $42.1 million.
“You have to learn how to deal with sweets and eat a
limited amount of food,” said Mrs. Don Daly, 34, of Anoka,
Minn., an employe of Weight Watchers. She lost 39
pounds, kept it off six years and still likes a variety of
sweets.
Another Weight Watcher, Glenda Gallagher, 34, of
Champlin, Minn., learned of the purchase while making
two cakes —for a wedding and an anniversary. She
insisted they were for others, not for herself.

The wild April blast, which

blizzard, piled a foot of snow
