By YOUR UNCLE


 Every child in Alaska is anxious. for Che arrival of spring. as spring nrhtfully belongs Go children. It ls. their part of Che year Che same as summer is Che part of young men and young women and late fal and winter belong to old people who have lost "pop' and prefer sitting around Che house to getting out and seeing things.
 But it an depends on whether next Thursday February 9, is clear or cloudy what kind of a spring there win be thIs yoar Usually a clear day at any season of the year is welcome. but tho 2nd day of Feb- uary is different from an Che other days Of Che spring scason-and for this reason
 On Che 2nd of February is when groundhogs finish their winter sleep that begins sometime in November. Now. in many respects. a grouudhog is very much like @ child. Whom thoy awake from a long, sound sleep they are frotul timid and easily up- sot Maybe you have noticed how easy it is for a child to cry just after waking from @ sleep. especially an afternoon sleep They are more apt to cry then than when waking in . Che morning. Anyhow. Che ground hog wakes up on tho 2nd of Fobru- ary and after yowning around for awhile. stops outside its den under a rock or tree to size up Che outside world Now. having been asleep SO long. it Is very dmid. SO 1T the sun |ia shining Che groundhog sees its shadow. becomes frightened and rushcs back to its den and stays thcrc another six weeks just goes . to sleep again and snoozes away for six long weeks during which time . there is snow and wind and very |uttlo sunshine making spring come after Che middle of March. whereas |if tho 2nd of February had been cloudy SO Che groundhog could not have made a shadow Co soc and ho ! frightened at spring would have started chen Instead of mX weeks . later.
 You win remember that Your . Uncle told you last summer about Che old groundhog chat lives under a biz rock on Che hillside just above ! Che homes Of R. p. Nelson and Jack Mullen. We'll if next Thursday is 70 cloudy day and that old groundhog does not make a shadow to scare him whom he comes out Co size up tho surroundings after being asleep for three months or more ho win bo heard whistling in another few weeks That is. while he will begin whisuiug very soon. he win not whistle out loud but just SO he can hear himself for awhile and until he gets over being tim.d
 So remember to keep an eye on Che weather next Thursday and hope with an your hoping powers chat Che day win be dark and cloudy SO old Man Groundhog won't sec his shadow and chat there won't be any sunshine chat day to make shadows.
 Now. some people may tell you chat Che sroundhog shadow theory is au bunk. but Your Uncle knows
