In southern Indiana the mercury climbed toward 60. The springlike thaw that is erasing the state’s snow cover is expected to continue next week but taper off slightly with nighttime readings again well below freezing. Late this morning it was 42. A year ago today the high was 35, the low 28. 75 Years Ago On October 26, l937, 8 inches of snow covered Market Street. A reader recalls having a flat tire in deep snow beside the Times office. Leesburg had its first snowfall of the season on Oct. 15, 1937, and on the same date next year, 81 degrees. Tri-Kappa Sorority: Mrs. Ethan A.
