hog as a weather prognosticator
When he says there'll be six more
weeks of bad weather, he really
means it. And there's one fellow
we are looking for the Lit.
tie man who's always telling us
that we don't have any of those
old-fashioned, hard winters any
more. He's been strangely silent
of late.
Looking back, we can be thank.
full that there were no more dire
emergencies than there were. Dis
comforts, inconvenience, head
aches and backaches We're plen.
tiful, but the real tragedies were
few. Then, too, we can be really
grateful for all those dedicated
people who made life easier for
the masses the policemen
and the firemen, whose ceaselsss
and sleepless efforts to help
meant so much; the road crews,
who worked around the clock to
dig us out; the telephone oper-
ators, who handled 50 percent
more calls a day than normal,
and still kept that voice with a
smile; the paper boys and route
men, who fought their way
through drifts and wind to get us
our newspapers; the mailmen,
whose force was reduced to two
workers when most of the staff
were showed in, who still never
missed getting out the mail

snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor

ers from the swift completion of
their appointed rounds" the doc

getting to their patients; the de-
livery men, who brought the milk
and bread and fuel; the citizens,
who took in the stranded for the
night; and so many others whose
kindnesses win never be known.
One of the unsung heroes of
our town was G. w. Bell, Jr.,
manager of the Miller Fertilizer
and Chemical Corporation. Mr..
Bell got out some of the com.

hours opening. up streets and
driveways and parking areas
through the town all out of
the goodness of his heart.
