Snowfall Paralyses Cedar Falls With 20 Hour Wintry Onslaught
A heavy snow storm blanketed Cedar Falls yesterday, halting travel and closing roads for nearly a day. Residents recall long winters and warn of continued cold as telephones and electric lines suffered damage. Local druggist Lydia Pinkham roots and herbs are cited in old time remedies, while university activities pause as the winter term ends and staff adjust plans. Thanksgiving amid the storm brought sparse dinners and travel cancellations, with many Cedar Falls natives visiting camps and awaiting demobilization.
