.:'CoId Dawn" Thermometer Regis ters 29 "Jim" Tyler Silent - Starlings More
 Numer o us,
 More Lo-
 quacious.

Another record breaking cold dawn came upon Waterbury today and the thermometer ct City Hall registered % degrees at 5 o'clock, moved upward, then had Q re- lapse with arrival of a fresh windl from the north.
 Prediction of warmer weather for the afternoon failed to assure football fans that 1t would be comfortable in the stands. But to- morrow, the prophets aver, will be warmer.
 Various who depend upon na- lures sign for early knowledge of what the winter will bring for weather, are awaiting word from James Tyler, Middlebury farmer. But MT. Tyler, usually willing to prognosticate freely, seems to have been more reticent than formerly.
 His predictions in the past de- rived from the thickness of potato skins, condition of corn husks and the amount of nuts the squirrels have gathered against hiberna- ton. Which, some say, is as good Q way to predict as by charts and observations.
 Barometer of Q particularly cold winter locally Is the marked in- crease of the starling colony on the Green, multiplied by the sub- urban legions seeking warmer quarters.
