If you are beginning to think winter will never end, get out and enjoy it while you can. It's really good for the mid-winter and mid-section blues. From these reporters' experience, playing in the snow can be just as much fun for grownups as it is for kids. Of course sndw isn't all fun. there is always the back-breaking job of clearing walks and driveways. This is one job that is a strain on the ol' ticker, so when when you do your shoveling take it easy. School By now mid-teVrn exams 1are over for the school children and they are starting on their second semester. It doesn't seem possible, but as that old adage; says, "if winter comes, can spring be far behind". SERVICE NEWS Pfc.
