Light Snowfall Continued Cold Predicted Here
The U S Weather Bureau said cold weather will persist with occasional light snow, not expected to cause major issues. Friday’s 4 inch snow on 2 inches existing left roads generally passable, with few slick spots. Main streets remained drivable though some hills treacherous, chains common but unnecessary for most. Highway crews cleared powdery snow overnight and Canton kept streets central clear for shoppers. The Canton Recreation Department blocked hills for sledding with limited street access for essential trips. Light flurries likely tonight and Sunday.

Truman Mobilizes Nation for Global Crisis
President Truman unveils a national emergency mobilization directing price and wage controls, production priorities, plant expansion, civilian goods curtailment, military procurement, and manpower regulation under the defense production law. Senate confirmation awaited for Wilson as crisis deepens. Leaders largely back measures, though some say actions are not swift enough amid Korea tensions and Congress divisions. The president appeals for unity and warns the Communists have gained a military edge, insisting only strong forces can deter aggression and avert appeasement. Some lawmakers push for broader controls.
