two schools of thought on why native torontonians couldn t stand the snow and cold ns well at outsiders from say ottawa the long under wear and the porridgefor breakfast schools proponents of the long

the winter and torontonians will be almost as hardy as other folks they say rut the porridgefor breakfast school believe this is all nonsense that underwear doesn t majtc any difference the trouble with torontonians and the cold they contend is that the queen city natives cat cold breakfast food on cold mornings they p re scribe heaping bowls of hot porridge taken inter nalyatew ore bnvtng

enough or it and much of it is both worn nut and primitive townships arc learning that ordinary gravel trucks are too light for effective snow plough ing and for the county roads big fast equipment with blower attachment is highly desirable in southern ontario where heavy snowfall is the exception rather than the rule there is not eiwiugh equipment of any kind for the mileage to be cleared more effective work under emergency conditions could probably bc done if townships and county would co operate more allocate the roads each would undertake to keep clear and have adequate ninchiu cry in
