Real winter is here and plenty of in
fiuenza with it, 50 if this letter seems a
bit "staggery" that's the way we feel.
And, sorry to disappoint you, but it's
not what you may think. cole Kid
Flu caught US mapping, that's all.
The Water Situation
We have heard great deal Of
"griping' over the water having to be
TUNED off at short Intervals Don't
blame your water company too much.
They cant help that the pipes freeze.
In each instance they have tried to
remedy the situation quickly, but with
so much illness and the difficulty in
getting men to work, it hasn't been
fun for them, either. During the eX-
tlemely cold weather just passed
nearly every one left faucets running,
not dripping. That didn't help a great
deal
We have good water and all things
considered we've gotten good SER
vice, so let's not fuss" After all,
everyone these days is doing the best
that can be done.
