dow has been the target for
many sharp bill. And even
while it was frozen solid, many
kinds of feathered friends
pecked away from morning un-
til night fall, trying to get off
the fat for the warmth of their
bodies. The finer birds fire.
quently are driven off by the
ever present starlings, who
seem to be lords of every man
or and act that way. More the
pity for the little snow birds,
the sparrows and even the
cardinals and blue jays. All of
them were cold, thirsty and
hungry.
Some meetings have been
cancelled by the weather. Many
members Of the New Century
Club had looked forward to
Monday when they would have
gone to the new free library
for the bi-monthly meeting. Too
risky was the walking, too
treacherous was the driving and
the chairman, Mrs. David
Friedman was not too well and
so the whole thing was can
celled. The Captain Jonathan
Caldwell Chapter, OAR, would
have gone to Houston on Sat-
urday had things been favor
able. The March meeting has
been cancelled. April 2 will
probably be the next meeting.
Many of you will have no
ticed the heading of this col
umn and, with tongue in cheek,
thought was a misnomer of the
first order, but aside from those
who look to the 21st as the
first day of spring, it has been
thought for many years that
spring should be here the be-
ginning of March. Wishful
thinking any more, and you
have only to get out in the
country and look upon the
snow banks as high as tall men
to know that March is still in
the winter column and will be
for some time unless there is
the miracle of warm rains and
warm sunshine. Papers say
more cold weather and with
the thermometer way down to
HERE we are inclined to be-
lieve the weather report of the
papers for once.
This is really snowy letter
but what else is there to write
about?

one has given the
same Der Of
- inches, but those
who have been out in their
yards or on the pavements in
front of their homes or gone in
their cars know that it was
plenty deep, and more so than
we have seen for many a win
ter season. Usually there are
tall tales of what happened
during and after storms but the
only things we hear are of a
more serious nature. You have
all probably had related to
you the fate of the Robert
Deans on the Milford -Harring-
ton Road and how they had
more than fifty people stop and
STAY. And the best part of it
was that among the number of
people and cars were provision
trucks and bread trucks with
their drivers and the contents
of their trucks were made
available for food for the hum
CRY multitude. There is likely
to be a humorous side to that
situation but it must have
seemed serious to the Deans
when they wondered just how
they would cope with the pre-
dicament. Today they can say
with the rest that all is well
that ends well.
How infinitesimal all of that
seems when compared to the
loss Of business, the destruction
of property and the human
anguish suffered when the
stores down town were on fire.
And when it seemed likely that
more than three would be burn
ed. To add to the confusion and
worry the siren was frozen and
could not be depended on to
give the proper alarm. Fortu-
nately, the telephone held and
the service it rendered in cali
ing other fire companies to
bring help can not be underes-
timated for there was plenty Of
snow that could have brought
the lines to uselessness. At
this time the buildings look
very sad but they will prob
ably be replaced with more
modern and better edifIces and
these narrowing times will be
forgotten, in some measure.
Being confined to the house,
the birds that have stayed
north for the winer have been
source of entertainment for
those who like to watch them.
