between the time of writing and the appearance of the article may make such a difference but with february now well launched it does seem that it can be said that the winter of 104344 will go down in history as one of the finest we have experienced in an average lifetime when some of us become oldtimers we will tell the younger generations that the winter of 104243 was a topootcher for severity and that this one of 1 04344 was one of the mildest in our experience when december passed with no heavy snowfall we all anticipated to pay up for it in january and now january has behaved nicely and with stronger sun shine in the days even if february and march do bring storms and blizzards the highway ditches arc not piled full and the banks will settle rapidly in the sunshine we may get a late spring and a cold summer as some will remind occasionally but why worry about something over which we as mere humans hav no control its grand winter weather now for all of us who dont perform to advantage on skiis or snowshoes v leap year valentine the bleeding heart may well be the canadian girls emblem for st valentine day this year shes just as ready and willing to be somebodys valentine as she has been since the pagan days of lupercalia but news that 16000 canadian soldiers have been married overseas since the war began is not exactly calculated to raise morale on the hearts and flowers front the picture however isnt so grim that love cant find a way leap year may be just the time to curb our- soldier boys interest in distant fields and show him that home is really where his heart is theres no reason why 1 044 should not be known as the year that turned the tide back to this side of the water to the girls we say let the frilly lovetoken and ribboned note go in unashamed sentimentality ab jure the comic card and avoid the disillusioning jest if romance is the goal direct the lacepaper ribbons and verse where it will be most effective to the lad who would awooing go but cant because hes parked at some outoftheway post or stationed in some re mote battle area hell be pleased and flattered similarly send a tender greeting to the boy who may believe he is being adequately taken care of by our attractive british sisters masculine nature being what it is hell be pleaded and flattered too he ma even stop think and remember a declaration of affection in the form of a val entine is not unfemimne it means merely turning leap years license to best advantage using febru ary 14 as the opening gun the days of coyness and keep- em guessing disappeared when girls donned overalls and took firm hold of a rivet gun to release a man for service a sentimental note may be exactly what he needs to remind him that overalls and rivet gun notwith standing the lassies back home are still pretty nice to return to v as otherasee if commenting on the fact that both acton and elora have juvenile hockey teams this year and are of nec essity playing their home games on arenas in other communities the fergus newrecord makes the fol lowing comment lt is rather a sad state of affairs for hockey fans to contemplate elora and acton used to be great hockey centres if memory serves correctly thev used to have teams that not jonly won their district championabipa but vent on to higher and better awards aad both towns have good aaodern arenas of which the citizens are proud the arenas have been leased for the duration of the war it is said that they are being used for war purposes but that may bo stretching the point just a little bit it saight easily be argued that the man- ageamenss might have been better to have kept them open to aid in keeping the young people busy with healthy exercise for young people are precious these days apparently there is no substitute for a good arena this has been a poor year foroujtdoor rinks at the same time hockey enthusiasts in elora and acton deserve credit for their enthusiasm tfmd their efforts to keep the game alive among the boys even when home games must ber played somewhere else v what a daffctctm ja a few miles make last year we hunted the music stores in die cities for a song entitled aint it funny what- a difference just a few hours makes to be used in a minstrel show production we never located the song and oh you beautiful doll took its place these days as we drive between acton and milton that theme keeps coming to our attention with one change of the word hours for miles its just twelve mi led between the two towns but its funny what a differ ence those twelve miles make in the weather and road conditions sheriff hampshires farm on highway 25 seems to be the dividing point between the far north and the near south quite often there is quite a snow flurry and the road is white until this section is cached from that point until milton the snow will gradually grow less and less and usually in milton the roads will be found clear of snow the other night when we left milton it was raining with the odd flake of snow in acton it was unadulterated snow monday our main street bad a covering of bnow and in milton the main street was clear its the unusual that makes news it is said and perhaps thats the reason the weather these days seems to creep into the news in so many places v a national anaei weekly newspapers up and down the country are lacing difficulties because of depleted staffs it was recently announced that one wellknown manitoba weekly would shut up shop after 40 years continuous publication due to its inability to obtain a linotype operator and other weeklies have been forced to adopt various expedients to meet existing conditions the straits in which many weekly newspapers particularly the smaller ones find themselves had focused attention on a matter that requires urgent attention and it is hoped that manpower regulations will permit alleviation of the situation the weekly newspaper has established itself as an asset to the constituency it serves and forms an integral part of the educational and cultural life of the dominion it is the medium through which com munity public opinion finds expression and as such demands support without stint throughout the war weekly newspapers in com mon with their contemporaries in the daily field have given unwavering support to the government in victory loan red cross salvage and other cam paigns the weeklies have been assigned the major role in putting across the needs of the empire in regard to farm dairy and timber products curtailment of these forms of service to the nation would be
