The censors forced Rod Serling to tweak an element of the Judgment Night episode of The Twilight Zone, but the reason wasn't because of anything salacious.
Reflections: More April events from the past
By Evelyn Long - Contributing Columnist
I lifted the top page on past April stories and the headline said “April Ice Storm Topples Telephone Poles!” It wasn’t ice I woke up to yesterday morning but snow! In April.
This ice story happened in April, 1957, when ice covered wires and wind toppled 17 poles of the Ohio Central Telephone Corporation on the east side of Route 42 just south of Mount Gilead. The story notes nearly 200 poles belonging to the Ohio Central Telephone Corp and Ohio Bell Telephone Co in the area were broken or uprooted by the storm.
