BRER GROUNDING
SAW HIS SHADOW,
EXPECT MORE COLD
Six Weeks of Winter Yet to
Come Because Sun Shines
on candIemas Day.

Farewell, fond farewell. TO all
vain hopes that Old Man Winter
might be caught mapping on this sig
nificant Candlemas day.
As clearly etched as a steel en-
craving. the Ground Hog saw his
shadow this noon, unless, perchance,
he was blind or failed to get the
sun in back of him. OF course. there
is bare chance that when a whiff
of the chill air stole into his burrow'
he simply rolled over and refused to
leave his bed, but the nature takers
of the middle ages concocted tale
that he never fails to make trip
outdoor on Candlemas day, and the
tale has stuck through the years.
There wasn't any question about the
.hadow. The sun was bright and rich
in its golden opulence. dispensing
light while it gave precious little
warmth.
Six Weeks of Winter.
And the tradition is that the be-
shadowed ground hog turns right
back into his lair for another six
weeks Information when he sees the
teli-tale sign. Which is another way
of saying that winter is gcing to
stage some real cold weather before
spring comes.
The history of Ground Hog day is
interesting. Not so many years ago,
1t was February 1. in most parts Of
the United States, but within the last
quarter of century 1t has been
changed to February p In some sec
tions the controversy as to the right
date has not been settled yet For
centuries the weather conditions on
this date have been supposed to gov
crn the following six weeks.
Scientists Are Scoffers.
In England and Scotland Candlemas
day Is rich in tradition, and a proverb
has ii, that. If the day be cloudy and
gloomy. winter is practically over; while
IL 1t be bright and fair. the half Of
winters 10 come and mair.'
OF course. Science-spelled with a.
capital S-personally conducted by the
cold and critical meteorologists, has
scoffed at the ground hog idea for a
good many years. Nevertheless, the
ground hog never goes further astray
in his annual venture in forecasting
than a certain weH-known forecaster
does at critical moments. especially.-but
that's another story altogether.
