In the spring, ana mere IL

fancy turns to-skiing.
Skiing in the dead of winter
is all right; better, we sup

the springtime.
Then the snow is good underski,
the sun il warm and the vision

the girls have shed their heavy
toys for shorts, and the boys. like

shirts. Then. as every skier
knows, is the time for skiing.
Blue EPIDEMIC
Meanwhile an epidemic of mid
season blues has swept through
the skiers ranks. cutting them
down on all sides. Most of the
victims. right now, don't care If
they ever ski again.
They'll get over IT. though.

THE PROBLEM OF SMOKING
 (Hartford Times)

It is hard to believe that the New Haven Road is considering some system of ventilation of smoking cars. One almost resents 1t. Years of familiarity with the gagging odor of a well-seasoned smoker, even when it contains no passengers, have made travellers expect it. If they are to be supplied with smok- CTS that do not smell like the old, musty ones, they are not likely to be comfortable.

AN AUTUMN TALE (Hartford Courant)

Sharp frosts and autumn leaves naturally turn the attention of New England folk to the abundant apple crop that has been harvested from the nearby orchards. The fall sea- son has long been dedicated to gene eral feasting and thanksgiving, and the fruit that covers the hillsides and valleys has always occupied a place of honor on the grooming board. Even today the apple ranks high in popular taste not only for the unfailing tonic that . choice specimen provides but for the magic elixir that lies in its fermented juice.
 Cider has 50 long reigned as the favorite NeW England beverage that the process by which the strainings from the fruit mash are transformed into 6 golden drink of the gods needs no explanation. History throws lit- tie light on the first manufacture of cider, but legend describes an Indian origin relative to the goings-on al poW-WoW time.
