Heavy snows left many people stranded in Lawrence this week. Unable to reach the post office to purchase a stamp, an inventive and desperate resident of the West Hills moved to an abandoned farm in southeast Lawrence.

From page one
police calls and calls from persons 'who are strained out in the middle of nowhere.'
SHE SAID, "We're not starting cars on changing tires. We're only taking extreme weather."
Jim Robinson, owner of Robinson Wrecker Service, BZT Mangle, said he was told to wear a mask.
"We're backlogged," Robinson said. "We have emergencies that we have to take and deal with."
Robinson said he did not think his workload would lighten in the next few days.
"It's getting worse because it's warming up a little and the streets are getting slicker," he said. "There's no relief in sight."
George Williams, director of Lawrence Public Works, said the street department had been clearing Lawrence's 200 miles of streets since the first snowfall Dec. 31. The department has three motor graders, three snowplows, four sand and salt spreaders, five snowmowers and snow breeders. The department also rented some trucks from private contractors, he said.
DON FARRIER, a street department supervisor, said the trucks were used to haul snow after the plows have cleared the road. A few days ago, almost empty at 11th Street and Haskell Avenue.
"There's a pile there you wouldn't believe." Farrier said.
The street department has spread about 900 tons of sand and salt on Lawrence roads since Jan. 1, Farrier said. The city is running out of salt, he said, but has enough sand. The city will not use salt until it gets a new supply in March, he said.
Lawrence has hired extra workers to help the city's 24-member crew, Farrier said. The crew worked overtime to clear the snowfall, but now is working regular hours.
Williams said the city spent $9,200 for overtime and equipment rental after the first snowfall. That figure does not include salts, salt, or wages for regular hours, he said.
ALTHOUGH CITY streets were being cleaned, residents in the Palmyra, Willow Springs and Snohomish areas were

Road crews began clearing county roads at 4 a.m. saturday. Since then they have been working 12-hour shifts. Small crews were able through Saturday and Sunday nights.
Mike Dooley, Douglas County engineer, said, "It's hard to visualize what will happen if we get another heavy snow. We're doing really well now."
In Palmyra, the hardest hit of the three townships, two bulldozers have been hired to clear seven and eight foot drifts from the roads.
Dooley said crews were pushing snow as far off the roads as possible so there would be a place to pile any new snow that might fall.
SALT AND other dry chemicals have not been used because the rands are not icey, Dooley sand. Sand is not being used either. Snow has been dumped-down snow is providing enough traction.
Mike Elwell, associate judge of Douglass County District Court, will decide at tomorrow's hearing whether there is sufficient evidence to try Hunter, who would be tried as an adult. If sufficient evidence is found in formal arrangement and trial will be ordered.
Hunter was arrested by police Dec. 22, when he was seen walking near Lawrence High School.
Lawrence's 20 inches of snow, along with a low temperature of minus 10 and low windchill factor of minus 57 this winter, have broken no records, but the director of meteorology at NASA has said Lawrence may surpass its total snowfall of 1978 within the next few days.
There have not been any stranded motorists on the county roads, he said.
The other incidents occurred earlier in the month in the 1100, 1200 and 1300 blocks of streets east of the KU campus. Entry was quickly unlocked doors in some of the incidents.
Prosecutors said four of the incidents occurred Dec. 21. Physical evidence was provided.
The youth, Charles L. Hunter, 1228 Tennessee St., is charged with eight counts of aggravated burglary, four counts of rape and two counts of attempted rape.
The total snowfall for 1978 was 24 inches. And, Larry Cosgrove, director of the weather service, says there is a storm form that could cause more snowfall that may cause more snowfall for the Midwest.
Bond was set at $30,000 and Wesley Newwood, a legal lawyer, was appointed as a permanent counsel.
Cosgrove said the snow should reach the Lawrence area by tomorrow or Friday. But
after that, Lawrence can expect warmer temperatures in the 40s for a expect fehde, he will keep it.
Hearing set for tomorrow on rape case
