''That is what people mean when
they say that the ground hog has
seen his shadow. They mean that
there will be another six weeks Of
winter and that the ground hog has
gone back to sleep for those six
weeks.
IF they say that he has not seen
his shadow then they say that the
spring will be right along. They be-
lieve then that it will be very early
spring.
"NOw some members Of the Ground
Hog family like it because they are

"Willie Woodchuck had been up ever
since the first days of the spring." said
daddy: HE had been looking about
at the world, standing on his hind
legs and seeing ali there was to see. =
For Willie Woodchuck Is very
curious little fellow. He had had a
fine winters nap. He'had slept in his
nice warm burrow all through the
winter and had not once been dis
turbed.
HE was beginning to think Of veg
etables and summer food, and he was
watching to see what the farmers
about were going to do.
HE hadn't stored up food for the
winter the way so many other animals
had, but he had eaten more and more
during the latter part Of the summer.
And he had become fatter and fatter.
I'm fact if he had eaten any more
he would have been SO fat he could
hardly have moved, and Willie Wood
chuck wanted to move as far as his
winter bed at any rate.
HE had looked about him In the
early spring and had Travelled quite
a good deal to find 4 nice new home.
And he had found place where he
had fixed up beautiful home.
Mrs. Willie Woodchuck had liked
the big main room and the little kinds
Of balconies or extra rooms they had
built for themselves. There Mrs. VIII
lie looked after the many little wood
chuck children.
"They were very helpless at first
and she had had to watch them we'll,
as they slept in their warm nest Of
grasses.
after a little while they became
stronger and Mrs. Willie would allow
them to go out and play at tho outside
Of their hole.
There they would frolic In the
warm spring sunshine and whistle
and call and chatter.
Mother Woodchuck taught them to
fight if they were attacked but to
leave creatures alone IL they weren't
bothered by them first.
"Another name for woodehuck fam
lily is that Of ground hog. Willie
Wpodchuck didn't like to be called by
his other name.
"But some Of his relations did. You
see, there is an old belief that when
the ground hog or woodchuck comes
forth after his winters sleep to look
about him it is sign OF spring.
1T is the belief that If he can see
his shadow because Of the sun shining

aggravated one because the large
floes which form on the shores of
the comparatively shallow Lake Erie
are all discharged through the river
each spring. It was only after long
series of experiments that an intake
was designed able to keep the plant
free from ice.
At the other end of the canal, where
| it enlarges into the forebay, tri-
angular concrete structure has been
erected to act as a diffuser to smooth
out any turbulence in the water as it
enters the bay.
Across the lower end of the bay ex-
tends the permanent screen house
