XEW YORK (lP)--0.ale for<;p| winds and 40-fool Atlantic Ocean waves laahed th" anow-blankelcd East Coast Saturday, causing floods that forced more than 10- thousand persons from their home and swept resort piers and build¬ ings out to sea.
At least 22 persons had been lifted as dead and 18 some of whom had been feared dead, were rescued in storms that struck with unususl fury on the eastern seaboard and in the Northern Plains stales. |

"Just slowed me up a bit," wa.-i the matter-of-fact comment of veteran postal carrier Thomas L. McGuire, who is pictured as he made his rounds through drifts yesterdav morning on Wyo¬ ming avenue, Kingston. This picture was snapped as he left the Stegmaier residence at Wyoming avenue and James street after making a delivery.
A carrier for 29 years, McGuire, who resides at 212 Cooper street, Coutrdalc, said he has stopped getting concerned about the weather. Hot, cold, dry or wet—it is all the same with him and, he believes, that just about adds up the attitude of the other grey- uniformed mtn who take it all in stride through sunshine or blizzards to deliver the most valuable document or a picture postcard from Aunt Susie in Kalamazoo.
True to the tradition of the postal service to make appointed rounds on schedule despite handicaps, carriers in the Wyoming Valley area completed all deliveries, it was reported at Wilkes- Barre and Kingston post offices.
