Thompson Prohibits Crime for Two Weeks

CRIME president Cliff F. Thompson stepped out of his room, his face blue with cold, and swore a great oath at the Farmers Almanac for predicting the coldest winter of the century, James R. Ilgenfritz, president of New England Storm and Screen windows, for making it come true, and Radcliffe's Dean Lacey for removing the only available heating system.

He swore an oath at the weatherman for telling him that it was 34 below zero on top of Mount Washington, and an oath at the meteorologists for the 80 mile an hour wind which was going to ruin his skiing.

When last seen Thompson was pursuing Crimeds in all directions howling "Just wait until January 4."
