Snow Blocks Roads.

Only a fraction of the snowstorm
which swept the north half of the
state Tuesday and Wednesday was felt
in this vicinity, but at that it was
sufficient to block all the roads which
had only recently become passable.
A 40 to 5O-mile wind has filled up
the cuts in the various side roads and
even the main roads are completely
blocked in many places. 1t will likely
be several days before normal traffic
can be resumed. The rural mail car
riers were not able to serve any por-
ton of their routes. Very few pa
irons were able to get their cream
to the creamery. In many places it
is not even possible to get through
with team. Most of the transporta-
ton is via snowshoes and skis.

Their names are Alice Blue and

With unbelievable surprise, her

The spell was broken when Doro-
thy May suddenly stopped singing
and called out, What shall I name
the two little dolls in blue'?"
WELL" said Joan, smiling
thoughtfully. ''since they are
dressed in blue and are two very
important little ladies, why not call
one Alice Blue and the other Elinor
Blue?" And so the dolls were
named.
On Christmas morning in another
house around the corner, Bonny
Jean awoke with the joy of the hol-
iday and shouted, Mother, did Sam
ia come and did he bring me a
big baby doll with curls and eyes
that open and shut"
Eyes, dearie, Santa came and

Then spying it, seated beneath
the tree dressed in scarlet finery,

SYMBOL FOR
TUBERCULOSIS A
RADIANT CROSS

Once long ago, on bare, bleak hill
At place called Calvary
A rude cross stood. 1t spoke of death
And pain and agony.
But the sacrifice and matchless love
Offered there that day
Have made the way of the shameful
cross
A glorious, shining way.
Because He loved; because He gave;
That cross of anguished pain
Became cross of wondrous Light,
OF high triumphant gain.
Today cross with a double bar
Beckons to you and me
To join our hands in bringing gifts
To help make mankind free
From the Scourge we call the Great
White Plague
By holding a Torch of Light
And helping those who battle death
To fight a winning fight.
All honor to the radiant Cross!
Let's keep its symbol true
How far it throws its beams of light
Depends on NEON you.

break through during the height
of the firing, it was said, and
careened wildly through the streets
