If the ground hog was even half
awake on Tuesday, he certainly could
detect his shadow during most of the

has been a record breaker for this

be alarmed by the ground hogs ma
neuvers on this particular day.

An alarm of fire, the first of the
school year, called out the populace
about S o'clock Friday evening. A
smouldering fire was discovered In
the hospital basement among some
laundry previously thrown down the
chute, and the appearance Of smoke
and smudge from below was the first
sign of trouble. Most commendabIe
was the prompt work of the new
nurse, Miss Sarah Reynolds, who, en-
tirely unaided, carried each of the IA
patients to safety in the home of a
neighbor. SO rapidly did she proceed
that the building was practically va
Gated by the time the fire company
and other help arrived. On the last
few trips she was compelled to tie a
towel over her mouth to prevent
choking from the denses smoke, as she
carried the sick children through
from the sleeping porch at the rear.
The fire company made short work
of the blaze and fortunately none of
the patients suffered from their ex-
citing experience.
