however we think thia winter ao far can live up to moat of the oldfahioned kind and if they were any colder or taw more anow we hope the weatherman doeant stretch n point to equal them but on the whole it has been a grand winter healthy weather with frost in the air plenty of ski ing and aleighriding for the younger set and the older folk too rather enjoy looking out on the great piles of pure white snow providing of course they havent too large a sidewalk to keep dean but the boys and girls of today miss a lot when an oldfashioned winter comes long the motor car has spoiled a lot of things
