k mM that there was little
MMN need to go to Florida
n3 this year because of
- the mild winter, had
cause to take back their words
on Wednesday morning when
the thermometer almost struck
zero. Driving was hazardous,
walking was dangerous, and
the cold wind made one want
to seek the lee side of the
street. One good feature about
the cold weather, and an old
and probably good belief, the
germs of the winter months
never survive, and the atmos-
phere is made clean and clear
of microbes. The shores of
Florida were attractive to our
thinking on Wednesday and
there were many. perhaps, who
cast longing looks at the
southland. These cold spells,
however, seem not to last long
and in a few days we shall be
back to warm weather. Is that
wishful thinking? We wonder.
