December was ushered in by the
same quality of mild, splendid fall
weather that continued throughout
November. Wouldn't it be fine if the
same quality of weather would cor,-
tinue to Christmas. Of course such a
thing would be grievors disappoint-
ment to tile many so-called prophets,
who have prophesied severe winter.
But then their representations are
already woefully discredited, and their
regulations could not be more discred-
tied if there would actually be no
winter.
