The cold weather seems to STAY
with us this winter in an unusual
manner. This week, short cold
snap came and, among others, froze
the Editors plants. Old settlers claim
that this is just such another season

as long. The less frequently these
cold snaps come, the better we sh Il
like this country. This is too much
like opposition to the Eastern weather.
