Wide area reels from JK8SJ her Deaths and funerals A Winter's worst bite By United Press International Citrus growers in California, motorists in New York, and people from northern Minnesota to southern New Mexico felt the bite of Winter Saturday. Temperatures in the nation's richest farm region, the central San Joaquin Valley of California, dipped into the 20s for the fourth consecutive night, threatening its multimillion dollar citrus crop. Icy rain and snow coated roads in central New York state, and 65 persons were treated for injuries in a 52-car pileup on Interstate 81 near Syracuse N.Y. Pro football fans were warned to bundle up for Sunday's American Football Conference title game in Pittsburgh, with a possible wind-chill reading of 10 below zero. Hays man rode Rose Parade float Mrs.

Joe Hintz, 441 S. 12th, glanced at the photo on the front page of Friday's Salina Journal. Then she looked at it again. Hard. "I'm just sure that's my said Mrs.

Hintz of the gent waving the straw boater from the Credit Unions National association float, which won the sweepstakes award at Thursday's Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif. The nephew, Bert Riedel, Hays, confirmed Saturday it was indeed he peering from the UPI photo carried on Page 1 of The Journal's Dec. 2 edition. Riedel, a loan officer for the St. Joseph's credit union in Hays, said he was picked to ride the float by virtue of his seat on the national association's Youth Involvement committee.

Riedel and the committee chairman were selected for the honor at a November meeting in Wisconsin. "I was really fascinated by what they can do with those floats," said Riedel, who returned home Saturday after a week in Pasadena. The prize-winning float depicted a lakeside Victorian bandstand constructed entirely of gladiolas. Riedel rode in a rowboat beside the bandstand. Sharing the boat on the SVi-mile parade route was Bobbi Jo Smith, Dayton, her state's reigning Miss Credit Union.

In Tulare County within the afflicted California area, wind machines, smudge pots and piles of burning tires were brought into play to fight the ravages of frost on citrus trees whose crop last year netted $100 million. A cold front moving toward the Atlantic Coast brought rain, sleet or snow in a belt from the central Gulf states to New England, the National Weather Service said, and travelers' advisories sprouted from western Massachusetts and northwest Connecticut- into the mountains of Virginia and Maryland. Temperatures in the teens were recorded as far south as extreme southern New Mexico and Arizona. In Minnesota, hit by snowfalls of up to 10 inches Friday, temperatures dropped to 8 below zero at Bemidji, Business scene and Saturday night lows of 15 below to 30 below were expected. "This is by far the coldest air mass to invade the United States from Canada this winter," said an NWS forecaster.

Minneapolis man shot in face Steve Lee, 24, Minneapolis, injured Saturday morning in a hunting accident near Minneapolis, was in satisfactory condition Saturday night at St. John's hospital. Lee was hit in the face, hands and neck by shotgun pellets. The Ottawa county department said Lee was accidentally shot by a 16-year-old youth, with he was hunting. Ad offers iron-on high school decals Nosiree, The Journal's printing crew did not continue the New Year's celebration beyond the accepted limits.

That colorful ad on Page 36 of today's edition is supposed to be backward. In fact, it has to be to take advantage of an innovation in printing art. The ad from First National Bank and Trust Co. uses "iron-on" ink to fashion decals representing 3 of Salina's high schools Central, South and Sacred Heart. The decals can be transferred in full color to articles of clothing by Police probe rape report Salina police are investigating the reported rape of an 18-year-old woman Friday afternoon.

The woman told officers she was assaulted by a man about mid-afternoon. Saturday night, police were questioning a 24-year-old North Salina man in connection with the case. using an iron. Instructions are in the ad. The bank will distribute VIP cards to anyone appearing in the bank wearing clothing displaying one of the decals.

And that card entitles the bearer to a soft drink at one of Salina's Hardee drive-ins, A production hint: for permanent transfer, the garment should be at least 50 percent polyester. The decals will transfer to cotton garments such as tee shirts but probably will wash out. Because this is the first appearance of "iron-on" in The Journal, waived its long established policy of no comment on individual ads. Just remember, if the illustration in a Journal ad appears backward, it's probably "iron-on" and you can have fun with it. STATE FORECAST KANSAS Clear to partly cloudy and very cold Sunday.

Lamed representative wins state senate job HAYS (HNS) Jetmore city Councilwoman Shirley Nevins, 47, leader on the first 2 ballots, dropped out of the race for the vacant 37th district state senate seat just before the 7th ballot handing Rep.

Albert D. Campbell, Larned, the appointment Saturday night at the Ellis county courthouse. Campbell nailed down 90 of the 142 votes cast on the 7th ballot of Democratic party precinct committeemen and women from the 8-county 37th district. Rep. Joseph F.

Norvell, Hays, who topped the 4th, 5th and 6th ballots but failed to get the needed 72-vote majority, had 49 votes on the final ballot. Mrs. Nevins tallied 3 votes as the contest ended, but led the first ballot with 55 votes and the second with 59. Gov. Robert Bennett must now appoint Campbell, 44, to fill the senate vacancy left by the death of Chuck Wilson, La Crosse, in an auto accident last week.

The Democratic committee of the 114th District must now hold a similar convention to fill Campbell's term- Mrs. Nevins, campaign chairman for the late senator in his house and senate races, was considered by many to be a dark horse before the convention. The field was narrowed to 3 Saturday afternoon when Pat Augustine, Ellis, dropped from the race just before the convention began. Hospital Admissions St. John's Mrs.

Economy has most Americans angry, skeptical NEW YORK (UPI) A majority of Americans are angry at the government, nervous over the economy and skeptical of President Ford's ability to do anything about it, a nationwide poll conducted by NBC News indicated Saturday. The network described the poll results of which were discussed on a special 90-minute program entitled "What America Thinks" as "one of the most extensive news surveys ever taken by a television news organization." NBC said it covered a wide range of subjects and sampled 2,836 adults con- tacted by telephone between Dec. 16 and Dec.

21. The survey turned up a few rays of optimism in an otherwise pessimistic response. Sixty-seven per cent of those queried said they have "quite a lot" of confidence in the nation's future and 75 per cent said they believe their lives are better than were their parents' lives. Sixty-two per cent said they expect their children to enjoy an even better life. The federal government, however, generally got a vote of no confidence.

Asked to agree or disagree with the statement, "Most people in government today don't really care about people like me," 60 per cent agreed and only 33 per cent disagreed. Seven per cent said they were not sure. Congress 1 job rating was harshly scored too, with 56 per cent disapproving and 32 per cent approving of the manner in which the lawmakers are performing. Forty two per cent said they thought congressional interest represents mainly big business interests, while 18 per cent said Congress represents the interests of all the people. Big labor interests, as the primary concern on Capitol Hill, drew 16 per cent of the vote.

Approval of the manner in which President Ford is doing his job showed a loss of one percentage point from a similar poll taken in November. Fifty- one per cent of those contacted by NBC backed him, while 43 per cent voted disapproval. On the subject of Ford and the economy, however, 55 per cent expressed "not very much confidence" in the president's ability to improve matters. Nineteen per cent gave him "a lot of confidence," and 16 per cent expressed "no confidence at all." A vote of "com-- plete confidence" came from only five per cent. Betty no hobble The First Lady's bluntness on such subjects as premarital sex, abortion and marijuana, however, apparently will not hobble Ford's campaign.

Those surveyed were asked if her statements made them more or less likely to vote for him. Fifty-three per cent said Mrs. Ford's candor would have no effect on their voting. Fifteen per cent said they were less likely to vote for her husband because of it and 11 per cent said they were more likely to cast their votes in his column. GLEN A.
