MT. LAKE PARK

We certainly cannot complain of the
weather for this time of the year, but
we are wondering whether or not it is
healthy weather. Last year at this
time we were struggling through zero
weather. Even so, we did not hear of
but little sickness. This year we find
many of the cold timers" on the sick
list. We are beginning to think ourself
rather selfish in wanting the sort of
weather we are now having. Maybe the
cold does freeze germs. Anyhow we
are hoping all those who are i'll will
soon be on their feet, though we do
have to plough the snow when it
comes.
