Maurice Burpee has returned to
his college work at Boston University
after weeks midyear vacation, most
of which he spent in working at the
Lyndonville creamery.
Many of the shop men worked on
Sunday, getting extra pay for the
same, as there is SO much work the
week is not long enough for it all.
J. c. Eaton is in Montreal, where
he went on business short time ago.
AS his health is quite poor it seemed
a good opportunity for him to visit
the hospital there for needed rest
and treatment, although he is suffer
ing from no acute trouble.
The principal occupation of the
householders the past week has been
shoveling coal, and emptying ashes,
and the coal men have been hard put
to it to supply tt demand, but have
nobly done their part. Various re-
ports Of extraordinary low tempera-
lures are brought in, but it is enough
to say it has been cold enough for
any one.
There are two OF three cases of
scarlet fever reported among the
smaller children, and rumors of one
or two cases of influenza, but nothing
definite, and all of them light as yet.

carried out. This was a musical eve
ming, and the committee in charge OF
the program, Miss Irene Stimson, ana
Mrs. Almory d. Seavcr, are to be

frost was so thick that one would
have thought he was in dense fog.
Sunday was a busy day for both
householders and plumbers and many
reported frozen water pipes in both
houses and public buildings. But the
experiences Of the villagers are tiff
ling compared with the troubles Of
the farmers of this community as
many have reported their springs
frozen, nccessitating carrying water
to the stick from some distance.
Sunday was a busy day, too, for
