Motel Buzzes With Blizzard Turned Shelter in Columbus
Betsy Moore runs the Lincoln Lodge on West Broad Street as a storm floods Columbus. More than 100 stranded guests packed 135 rooms with truckers, railroaders, trainees, and families. Staff halved, volunteers cooked, cleaned, and cared for others as hot water and heat ran short. Guests stayed free with many helping keep the motel running, while some employees settled in with relatives. The mood remained cooperative despite strain.

The Empain-Schneider empire conducts about 4.5 billion dollars in annual business with some 150 companies. Official policy remains to refuse ransom.
