Old Fashioned Winter All

coat manufacturers had better so
in the Palm Beach suit business,
while an extremely cold winter is
dubbed as a good, old fashioned

is that memory is tricky and re-
calls the exception rather than the
average. Another is that modern
living has taken the edge off the
extreme weather. A snowfall that
our forefathers would have trod-

While the weather is constantly
changing from one year to another,
big climatic changes are too grad
ual to be observed in the lifetime
of one of even hundred genera
tons. Scientists figure that the
climate Of this continent has not
changed for some thirty thousand
years, not since the passing. of the
glacial period, and probably will
not for another thirty thousand.

Swat, biff, bang! That tells the
tale Of the last and most exciting
ending of any of he games of the

from behind in the last innings and
defeated the hitherto invincible
panthers and today they share the
league leadership each with ak
games won and one lost, In the
early innings Of the game Captain
Peck who pitched for his team had
trouble in controlxng his fast ball
and was also guilty Of some field
ing errors. This coupled with
some timely hits Melted the Pan
Tiers two runs. As the game pro-
crossed however, Peck's pitching
improved and toward the end he
was almost unhittable. In the
meantime Feinberg had been pitch
ing his usual steady game and at
the beginning of the seventh inning
everything looked good for a VIC
tory but just then the trouble
started. The first batter, Heimer,
struck out. Then Jessup hit a
pretty two Dagger and later went
to third. French struck out. Peck
