share toward creating and retaining
an exceedingly helpful relation with
the public.
I'm recognition of the loyalty OF
it's men and further to encourage
permanence in the service. the COM
pany has adopted a Group Insur-
ance plan which was put into opera
ton in December. 1922. and became
definitely effective January ]. 1923,
On approval of the requisite number
of employees. Acceptance by at
least % percent of the total number
of employees is necessary to adopt
this form of insurance. Acceptances
we're. received from more than 30
percent.
Under this plan every asserting
employee is insured for a sum rang
ing from 5000 to $500 according to
the length of his service. the
amount automatically increasing
500 per year until it reaches the
maximum. They are not required
to pass a physical examination. and
they may convert the insurance in,
to the ordinary life forms and carry
it themselves. without any eXamina-
ton. after leaving the company's
employ. The company carries about
60 per cent of the total cost, the
men bearing the other 40 per cent.

Snow Flows Active
on Last Day of March
with Snow Drifting

The old saying March comes in
like a lion and goes out like lamb"
was reversed this year with a vcn-
gence. If memory fails not the first
day or so Of the month was exceed
ingly mild and comfortable but not
so the last day. With a snow fall
but the day before. Saturday brought
forth high wind which picked up
the newly fallen snow in clouds that
brought forth much comment from
those who were forced to face them.
So strong was the wind, that ac-
cording to the report of one of the
conductors on the A. and X. railroad,
a hay rack well loaded with hay.
which by the way had to be tied
down was blown over. The rack was
not tied to the sleds and the wind
simply turned it over. load and all
without disturbing the sleds.
The electric railroad was forced to
keep out plows all day as the snow
was drifting SO badly. Along in the
middle of the afternoon Saturday. q
car was in difficulty out near Web
Der pond and pillow was sent out to
dig it out. One Of the men in the
local waiting room was heard to re-
mark Here it is almost haying time
and we're still digging them out"
There has been a generous snow
fall this month in spite Of the fact
that spring is said by scientists to
have arrived when the month was but
two thirds over. The only way that
any one can realize this Is by con-
sulting an almanac as all other indi-
cations have failed.
Although fairly cold, April started
out with clear day and much Eas-
ter finery was seen on the street.
Several appeared with new light top
coats and found that while they US
ually appear at Easter. this Esater
day was a little too frigid for the
light ones.
