Inasmuch as no 90 degree temperatures were recorded locally between June 20 and Sept. 22. coupled with the fact that July was the coldest ever recorded in Wyoming Valley the 1956 Summer, which of¬ ficially ended last night at 9:35,  was highly unusual.

Records kept by the U. S. Weather Bureau at Avoca Airport prove conclusively that certainly no Mat records were broken. The highest reading for the period was 89 degrees on July  1.
Of greater interest Is tha fact that the closing days of

Flossy, sixth tropical storm of the year was likely to be the first lo strike the United States.

from Peoria. 111., next week. Outline His Program
The Democratic candidate outlined a program with pro¬ posals for 90% price supports, a world food bank and other features which he said would "stop and reverse the decline of and farm prices.'
In his Denver speech he said the nation voted for a change in 1952 but what tt got from the administration was "short¬ change" for the farmer, small businessman and labor.
"Perhaps worst of all, they have tried to change the nature of the presidency itself," Steven¬ son said. "Four years ago the President promised strong lead¬ ership as the champion of the interests of all tbe people against any special interest. iSays Ike Passive Figure
"Now he is almost a passive figure, while the very active gentlemen around him are al¬ most all representative of a single special interest. He sel dom says a wrong thing; they seldom do a right one.
Stevenson said the interests of all Americans should be equally represented In the presi dency but that government power has been delegated most¬ ly to "representatives of rich and powerful industry."
"We must place our public lands and forests and wildlife refuges beyond itching fingers," he said. "In plain language, we must stop the giveaways.
"Then we must reestablish and extend the policies of con- .';ervation which were in effect for years before the Eisenhower- McKay former Secretary of the Interio Dougles McKay adminis¬ tration began to hack away at them."

Concerning Stevenson, Nixon told a Sioux Citv audience.
"Let's not settle for the sec¬ ond-best leadership of expedient politicians who offer false hopes of ending the draft and restrict¬ ing military research—all in the face   of   the   global   threat   of Communism." 2     He said, "We need the wisest 221 and most experienced leadership giwe can possibly have—the kind 61 President Eisenhower has given 10 since 1953 and which he is pre- 7 i pared to give in the fi^ur critical 1; years  that  lie  ahead." 2 Addresses GOP Rally 1-5 j    At  Colorado   Springs,  Nixon 10laddres.';ed   a   state   Republican 1-9'rally at the local high school.
ELK POINT, S. D. OP— Townspeople here are await¬ ing official help in their battle to keep Elk Point from sinking.
With the foundation of the town unsteady, the commu¬ nity's largest buildings were in danger of being lost.
A freak glacial, drift has been blamed for pulling the bottom out from under the sinking town.
Walls Crumbling
Many residents expect Gov. Joe Foss to arrive for emer-
fency inspection yesterday, ut it was announced that he had left South Dakota for a mountain hunting trip in Wyo¬ ming.
Basements, f , ^„,.ons and walls c.ambled and tottered throughout the town. A buckling wall forced the evacuation of the high school and the walls of a large Catholic church separated from the floor. The three- story stoat Court House also •hifted.
Mayor J. J. Murphy called the Governor's office to ask for help. He estimated $1,000,000 in damages had been suffered in this com¬ munity of 1,376 persons, I0-. cated in the state's richest farming country in the Mis¬ souri   Valley.
There were no signs of panic among Elk Point towns¬ people, the Mayor said. The citizens were'reacting to the situation in a "normal and sensible manner." 12.000-Year-Old Trouble
State geologists agreed that the basic cause for the shift originated when four prehis¬ toric glaciers spread across the Dakous, some 12.000 years  ago.
ihe glaciers laid a mixture of gravel, sand, clay and boul¬ ders under what is now Elk Point. The mixturej-uns about 90 feet deep, and building foundations were apparently unable to reach bed rock.
When the mixture began to shift. Elk Point buildings went with it and atorted to ilnk.
