The rainfall was the first major precipitation in the county in nearly four months. But a predicted blizzard, one scheduled to hit eastern Nebraska, never materialized, though outstate areas were hard hit. Only slightly cooler temperatures and a general food feeling followed the rain here. Chains, mud Pvt. Ed Snyder Takes Special Army Training Pvt. Edward H.

Thunder and light ning, uncommon for mid-February, accompanied the rain. While Cass county farmers, concerned over the long dry spell, showed great relief, their feeling was reflected in the towns as well. Volunteer Fire man at Plattsmouth and at other stations throughout the county, breathed a sigh of relief. Fire men here have been answering an average of three grass fire alarms weekly since the new year began. The rain has great ly relieved the threat of a ma jor fire in every community. The two inches of rain record ed here was about average for the eastern Nebraska area, with some stations reporting over three inches, while others were in the one-inch bracket. Except for three very light snowfalls at scattered intervals, the rain was the only moisture of any con-, sequence in this locality since late last fall. Conversation naturally cen tered around the rainfall weath er picture, spring-like rain and the mid-February temperatures. One farmer was heard remark ing that "when the groundhog predicted six more weeks of win ter, this is just what I ordered."' And those spring temperatures were back again Sunday, though partly cloudy skies and north erly winds presented a blustery picture. Record highs for Febr uary have made the month the warmest on record.
