which we had slapping us in the face
for many months is coming to be
studied. The scientists are after it,

medical people especially are looking

sickness during the cold weather, and
Immediately following it, than is usual
" the case in the winter months.

nearly so much sickness in general.
IF the statements of the scientists
could be summed up they would show
that while the winter caused a great
zeal of suffering. due to shortage OF
fuel and lack of transportation, it was
