it go down in history- that the low temperature in this district on february 14 was thirty degrees below zero the next day it never rose above twenty and there was a wind blowing but here is what v found when rummaging around among some of last years papers and it brought a little warmth to my congealed cir culation last year on april 23 the temperature rose to eightyfour de gree 1 and yet two weeks previous to that day we had had the worst snowstorm of the season with roads blocked in every direction so you see you never know and look what we are getting how a real honesttogoodness thaw the wheat ground is practically bare and so is the lane halfway the other half- part of it is deep deep snow and the rest is ice and flood waters but partner and i have been working at it digging ditches here and there and now we have a steady stream of water running towards the creek i just love that job although i must confess it is jolly hard work but 1 do like to sen rushing water that is when it rushes where we want it to go bight across the road just be low our place water is rushing in n steady stream and that certainly isnt just so good it is making n terrible mess of the road cars have been getting stuck there nil the time headmen are there nearly every day nnd i believe they have managed to bring about some improvement yesterday v wanted to get to town to procure our new ration iwoks how did i get thoroy well x just stood at the road gate until a car came nlong the driver of which of fered mo a ride x was very grateful to this knight of the road although 1 didnt know him from adam that is one thing v have noticed during this spell of bad weather every one is so willing to help the other fellow out it does give you a nice warm feelinglittle things like that have a way of restoring your faith in human naturo even when war hews sends it down to a now low ebb voluntary workers at the town hall were very busy with ration books there was a constant stream of people coming and going all the time but 1 heard no complaints from anyone afterwards i was in one of the stores nnd a woman was asking for ten the saleslady told the wo man she couldnt use hor next coupon until monday do you mean to tell me ive got to drink hot water from jiour until monday t demanded the woman i looked round expecting to see n belligerent sort of person but to my relic r the woman was laughing yes there she was without any tea and no chance of getting any and making n joke of it thais the sort of spirit that will help us win this war and dear knows we may soon want plenty of it it is somewhat de pressing to visit uteres of every kind nnd see shelf after shelf empty or nearly so and yet how much we can buy which neither money nor couponk can procure in many othor countries well now the results have been announced i can toll you what a busy time most of the women in this community had taut month you see wo worotthnt in our institute were entrants in n content which gives

who came into the house was pretty certain to go out with a parcel to hand on to somebody else and what a time we had to get quilts done there were qulltlngs yes when two or three women were brave enough to face the weather but we were able to mnko only about half the number we had hoped for however i thlnkwewere nil of the opinion that thfae for whom the quilts and other tilings were for had to work under far worse conditions than we did so we did all that was humanly possible and the result was a grand lot of sewing and knitting some of which went to the russian relief and some to the
