Most of the Surreyites are keeping
close to their homes and stoves during
this cold yeather. Last Saturday
but very few were seen Drawing the
.slittle" blizzard, and Surrey seemed
like the deserted Village" We are
informed by some Of our prophets
that this weather is to continue at
lsast five weeks longer. Even so, we
can consider ourselves fortunate, for
winter was long time coming and
many states have been in the path OF
almost continuous storms since early
winter. We know of no one near
who is suffering from the cold and for
tlst we can be thankful. We can ex.
psct an occasional buster, and all
fair-minded people will be willing to
take little bitter along with the
sweet, without complaining.
In spite of the fact that the Their
ulometer registered over thirty de-
1rees below zero Friday evening, the
program at the school house was very
we'll attended. The high school aud
itorium was filled. An interesting
program was given. Miss Viola Perry
sang in a pleasing manner and Miss
Fora Perry gave an interesting read
ing. Mr.. Tattock read an interesting
and instructive paper on "Recent Con-
stitutional Reforms" Little Miss
Gladys Hardy recited "When Grand
mn Put Her Specs On" and Ruth Pc
tiers received hearty applause for her
song, "I'm Papa's Sweetheart" Misses
Enid Young and Mary Peters sang a
beautiful duet entitled "When Song is
Sweet" The Band was present and
interlaced the program with some of
their old favorites. At the close Of
the program, Miss Lawrence gave
some fitting remarks on 'The Need Of
a Literary Society and its Advan-
tages." After the program a vote
was taken and it was unanimously in
favor of recognizing town literary
society. officers were chosen and a
program will be given every Friday
evening, until the busy season opens.
To these weekly programs. all are
cordially invited, and the fellow that
isn't there is the one that will miss
something good. ..
The cold weather has driven the
s.school ma'ams" from their bachelor
quarters and after firing most of the
right Saturday night, they decided
they would get out as they weren't
fond of shovelling coal. They packed
up a few belongings and very quietly
lied themselves away to the shelter
and protection of Mrs. Fireman Yoder,
where they will stay until warm wea-
ther returns. They admit the laugh IS
on them, but in order to save our
necks and not make it more embarras-
ing for them, we will refrain from
putting their names in print.
Mrs. Wisely and children are ex-
pected Thursday evening. The goods
arrived last Friday and Mr.: Wisely
has placed them in the hotel, where
they will occupy a couple OF rooms.
Mr.. Ole Ovre, the section boss, is
