An Observation Feb. is a ulRique month. Be- sides being the shortest month of the year, we have in Feb. heart month, und hog day, pancake Tuesday ,- white cane month, Valentine's Day, and believe it or not, sauerkraut month, and we usually have the most fiendish weather of the winter in Feb. It is more than a third over at time of writing and we are not faring too badly! So, be of good cheer folks, it won't be long till spring now. A Little About Valentines We associate St. Valentine with love, and love is an all in- volving activity. We all know love should have a certain "aura" or "mystery" about it, and it grows through phases as the years pass. Valentines are the oldest forms of greeting and whether they are sentimental, witty, sarcastic, they delight people of all ages. Their history dates back to the third century A. D. Whether you are a sweet- heart, wife, mother, dad, etc., we hope you receive your share of Valentines on the 14th. News of Interest Sorry, we were unable to at- tend Gail Malcolm's artist re- ception at the Port Perry Memo- rial Library on Saturday, Feb. 1,but we are planning to see the beautiful needlepoint and other lovely crafts this week.
