ALL "SIGNS" AGREE
EARLY SPRING

Early Spring this year. All
signs" say so.
Here's one.
The Grounding - the sleepy
little grounding crawled out of
its hole the other day. and when
1t observed that the sun was not
shining, chalked down South
Bend-and this whole territory
for an early Spring.
February 2nd is Groundhog
Day. Remember the weather on
that day this year? A nervier
and bigger animal than the little
grounding would have hesitated
about leaving comfortable winter
quarters to venture out into that
weather. But the mission of
'Groundie" was to make an &C
curate weather forecast, no mat
ter what happened. The little
animal squinted at the sky with
its bright little eyes and soueaked
knowingly when it observed that
the sun was concealed by a blur
of leaden clouds.
No sun, of course, according to
the old grounding tradition,
means that there will be an early
Spring. But little "Groundie" ap-
piled the acid test to make GER
tain that not a single ray of sun
was escaping earthward
For ten minutes the little
weather prophet looked over its
left shoulder in an effort to de-
tect its shadow. None was forth
coming, and with a grunt of salts
faction, "GrOundie" ran back
home to make preparations for an
early Spring housekeeping.
This story of "Groundie' is but
one of the many that might be
written about "signs''-and all
these signs agree that it's to
be an early Spring. If tradition
does not fail, buds will start
swelling soon and summer birds
will begin to wing their flight
northward.
