FINAL THAW
IS IN PROGRESS

A new phase of this long and old
fashioned winter has presented itself.
What appears to be the final thaw of
the season is now in progress.
The first inroads were made on the
ice during the early part of last week.
A sudden drop in temperature CONCEAL
ed everything in sight and there was
no more melting until Sunday, since
when the ice and snow have been van
ishing at rapid rate. The patches OF
bare ground that have appeared,
whether on the hillside, on street or
highway are a welcome and refreshing
sight to the eye, weary with the monot-
ony of the all-encompassing ice and
snow, that have blanketed the earth
for over two months.
The present winter will not be soon
forgotten. We have had sleighing con-
tinuously for siXty-siX days, which is
in itself an unusual record. The ac-
emulation of ice is another feature
that has made the winter unique. In
stead of snow banks we have had
mounds of ice on the streets. 1t is this
feature, the prevalence of ice, that has
enabled winter to maintain its su-
premacy, even under the effect of the
lengthening days.
Slcighs are likely to remain in com.
mission a few days longer, although
wheeled vehicles have made their ap-
pcarance in considerable numbers and
are probably preferable for long drives
where all kinds of roads are apt to be
encountered.
In less than three weeks we will
reach the yernal equinox, when win
ter should end its reign and gentle
spring hold sway. Here, however, is
where the weather prophet asserts
himself. There are early springs and
late springs.
The preponderance of opinion among
weather-wise people seems to be to
the effect that we may have an early
spring this year-due to the long and
continuous winter, during which there
was only one semblance TO Il general
thaw. Some of these hopeful ones eX-
! pecu to hear the robins sing before
long. \ more pessimistic view, how
ever, sees the probability of more snow
during March, if not in April. Still
the fact remains that winter is about
over.

BOROUGH AFTER
THE MILkMEN

The controversy and contention be-
tween the local board of health and
the dalrymen doing business in Dan
vile over the question of milk license
seems to have reached an acute stage.
Civil action to compel payment of Ii
cense Friday was instituted against
two dairymen.
Action for breach of borough ordi-
nance was brought pursuant to in
structions from the borough council.
Action was taken at the meeting of
January 2lst the board of health be-
ing authorized to make the necessary
Investigations and to collect the an
nual milk license according to the
provision of the borough ordinance.
In an interview Friday DR..
Shultz, secretary of the local board
of health, stated that no attempt would
( be made TO collect license from those
dairymen who can prove that they sell
milk of their own production only.
Others, who add to their own supply
by purchasing milk from other par
ties will be obliged to pay license.
Section ! of the rules and regulations
at present in force provides that no
person, firm, or corporation shall sell
cream or milk in the borough of Dan
vile without first annually, before
the first day of March, making appli-
cation to the board of health which
application shall set forth the name
and route of the dairymeu, the
owner of and location of the dairies
and such other information relating
to the production and care of cream
and milk as may be deemed necessary
by the board of health. In addition to
making said application, which is to
constitute an agreement for faithful
compliance, the dairymen are requir-
ed to obtain from the board of health
a license to carry on the business,
which license shall be displayed in
every wagon from which milk and
cream is sold, the fee for said license
to be $40 per annum. DR.. Shultz ex-
planned that dairymen who do not
purchase milk will be presented free
of cost with a license that will permit
them to carry on their business.

tuted is fully shown by the informa-
