In 1977 the newspaper changed its evening delivery tradition by producing a Saturday morning newspaper. By 1981, the newspaper was delivered every weekday morning as well. Now North Iowa can wake up Sunday's as well with a cup of coffee and the Globe.

And now the newspaper presents North Iowa's daily newspaper in the truest sense of the word. Globe-Gazette Editor William Brissee said the Sunday newspaper is part of a natural growth process for the newspaper. "It's not just another day's newspaper; it's a whole new endeavor," he said. "A Sunday newspaper allows us to give more depth to the newspaper. The daily provides a quick hit-or-miss type of news; the Sunday newspaper will give people a chance to understand what they see." With the Sunday edition, the newspaper will be better able to keep up with the demands of its readers.

"That's what our business is all about to serve our readers and their interests," said Brissee. Research conducted shortly before Thanksgiving found that 80 percent of the readers found the GlobeGazette interesting. In an effort to catch the other 20 percent and to capture more readers, the circulation department instigated a telemarketing system where residents of the community are called to find out about the newspaper's service and to offer the service to those who don't currently have a subscription. The newspaper has also expanded carrier and mail delivery routes for the Sunday newspaper. Customers who receive the daily newspaper by mail will find the Sunday Globe in their mailboxes each Sunday delivered by one of 50 new motor carriers.

The initial idea of a Sunday newspaper surfaced in 1978 when the newspaper's management team predicted a Sunday newspaper within five years. Now seven years later, with the influx of retail trade and industry in the community, newspaper officials decided it was time to act. Southbridge, Wal-Mart, Shopko, and Mills Fleet Farm are some of the retailers slated to open this spring. The new Sunday Globe required the additoon of five new full-time and eight part-time employees. The Sunday edition costs 50 cents for home delivery and 75 cents at the newsstand.

The Globe-Gazette offers only a seven-day subscription. classes on livestock Call the NIACC Community Services Office at 421-4358 for more information. Cold snaps records By The Associated Press Biting cold air snapped more than a dozen low temperature records Saturday from Michigan to Texas and collided with warmer air from the South to dump snow from the Southwest to New England. Thousands lost heat and electricity in icebound Dixie. At least 24 deaths have been blamed on the storm system since Wednesday.

Forecasters were trying to confirm an unofficial temperature reading of minus 69.9 degrees Friday in Utah's mountains, which would be the most severe cold ever recorded in the contiguous 48 states. The second stage of winter got off to a strong start as temperatures of 10 to 25 degrees below zero were common from Montana to Michigan. "It's a battle between warm air to the south and very cold air to the north and the west," said meteorologist Phil Zinn of the National Weather Service in West Virginia, where officials braced for up to 6 more inches of snow on top of accumulations a foot deep. Snow fell from the middle and lower Mississippi Valley to the north Atlantic Coast, while freezing rain and sleet continued over parts of the South. Before the snow ended Saturday morning over Oklahoma, the storm had dumped 15 inches on Atoka and 14 inches on Marietta and Caddo.

At least 13 low temperature records for Feb. 2 were broken from 25 degrees below zero at Alpena and Marquette, and 16 below at Colorado Springs, to minus 11 at Midland, Texas, and minus 1 at San Angelo, Texas, both tying marks for the coldest temperatures in those Texas communities. At the other end of the scale, Miami, set a high temperature record for the date with an 84-degree reading. The chill will ease gradually, said meteorologist John Graff in Minneapolis, where the temperature was 19 below. "It's like cold glue," he said, saying the weather system would come unstuck slowly.

The temperature in Peter Sink. Utah, which had a minus 65.7 reading on Thursday dropped to an unofficial 69.9 degrees below zero Friday on automated equipment, said forecaster Jim Pringle in Salt Lake City. The coldest temperature ever in the 48 contiguous states was 69.7 below zero at Rogers Pass, in 1954. Pringle said officials would try to confirm Friday's reading by checking a mercury thermometer in the mountainous area. The cold, snow and ice wrought havoc in the South.

Iced pavement forced police in Mississippi to close long stretches of Interstate 55, a main north-south artery, and Interstate 20, an east -west highway. About 5,000 customers were without electricity as the temperature dropped into the teens in the northern areas, said Mississippi Power Light Co. -News of Births Mercy Hospital PATRICK, Lorraine and Thomas, 616 S.

After three operations, Williams is now recuperating at home, cheerful and confident while trying to figure how to pay hospital bills that have mounted to more $51,512.96, not including physicians' and paramedics' fees. Police say can't explain what happened to her. Mundy was the first physician to treat Williams after paramedics brought her to the hospital, unconscious and without a pulse. Her blood had cooled to a core temperature of 72 degrees and into a "sludge," sparing her from certain death from internal bleeding, he said. As Williams' body temperature gradually increased and her pulse gained strength, doctors discovered she was bleeding internally from a ruptured spleen, lacerated liver and bruised small bowel.

As soon as her temperature reached between 80 and 85 degrees, she was taken into surgery. Her spleen was removed. Damage from hypothermia forced another operation to remove her pancreas and adrenal glands. That surgery made Williams a diabetic, and she will have to rely on insulin injections for the rest of her life. A third operation was necessary when Williams suffered a high fever and rapid heartbeat.

Thirteen days after she walked out her front door, Teri Williams woke 1 up. "I didn't realize I had three operations until it was all over and they told me," she said in an interview at her home last week. Hypothermia "is far and away the most likely cause of her amnesia," said Mundy.
