It; , is this . eagerness for spring'sreturn
that probably makes us so susceptible each

groundhog and his • shadow.
The sun wast shining brightly last.
Thursday arid', despite . sub -zero cold the
groundhog :sallied ' forth, saw his shadow
and hied himself back to his`lai;r for anoth-
er six' weeks' • of winter: Who believes we
can . expect much less? Had it been • over-

Since when have these' towns start-

!ages? It' comes to, mind that not so many
years back when High School Districts were
becoming a fad that : Kincardine wooed its•
neighboring village of Ripley to join them;

courting stage and Ripley had • to fight
tooth and nail too' hold' its own -little .con-
tinuation school and .,obtain permission . to
.establish its own District. Kincardine was.
not giving too much consideratioh to Rip-
ley's desires then –= why the ; change . of
heart ' now?
Here in Teeswater we ' think a lot of
