On Wednesday 01 last week the temperature began to drop rapidly and early Thursday morning had dipped to thirty-one degrees below zero. It scored a tie with Feb. 20th, 1929, for on that date the thermometer registered 31 below. At eight o’clock last Wed­ nesday morning the temperature was about twenty below and the highest temperature for the day was 1'5 below, est ever ity in Friday dropped still lower and one ther­ mometer registered 3 8 degrees be­ low zero while others were in the same neighborhood. At Brucefield there is a government thermometer and the records are kept by George T. Baird. These records have been kept for thirty years and Mr. Baird has furnished us with the follow­ ing records, showing the lowest ano highest temperatures recorded on the same date. That was perhaps the cold- experienced in this commun- the day-time. Early on morning the mercury that was J. be Del- Se- N.

A party being held at the home of Mr. Har­ old Taylor in Usbortie and when tne guests prepared to go home in the early hours of the morning they had great difficulty in getting their cars to start. After a team of horses use and finally a were started and sisted the others, of the Chevrolet hands frozen. One of our local business-men was spending the evening a few miles from town with relatives ana being unable to get his car started, walked home. Mapy of the water pipes were frozen about town and in the barns on many of the farm© and the plumbers of town had a busy time for a couple of days. There are a few instances where water flooded some of the rooms when the pipes were thawed -out but no serious damage is reported. One -of the plumbers estimated that the damage would possibly run into a thousand dollars. .Scores of motor cars were out of commission and the garages had a busy time bringing them in and thawing out brakes and radiators. Some of the farmer© with pota­ toes and apples stored had difficul­ ty in keeping them from freezing. A report from Clandeboye to the city papers stated that one farmer had 40-01 bags of potatoes frozen. One of the radiators at the Exe­ ter school bursted. The radiator was in the teacher’s room. The school was heated with difficulty. One room wa© let out. Two rooms doubled up and in some cases the scholars wore their overcoats and hats. Mr. Joe Creech, who teaches the school at Sod-om, displayed a great deal of grit when he made the dis­ tance of about five miles on his bicycle.

A few motorists tell of having to be towed through the drifts. The Wingham bus which makes daily rips through Exeter to London has been unable to make the trip for several days. A degree team from the Wingham Lodge of Oddfellows were expected to visit the Exeter Lodge on Friday evening last and the visit was post­ poned until Tuesday when it again had to be postponed. A hockey match was scheduled for the Exeter rink on Friday ev­ ening last but a notice in front or the Postoffice said: "Postponed un­ til warmer weather.” First time we ever heard of a hockey match being postponed1 for that reason. Mr. Thomas Bissett is seriously ill at the home of his sister, Miss Fannie Bissett. The many friends of Mrs. Nelson Sheere will regret to know that she is seriously ill at her home suffering from double pneumonia. To Our Patrons We wish to express our apprecia­ tion of the splendid reception that has been accorded our pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk is heated to 145 degrees at which temperature all germs are killed. In addition our herds are all tubercular tested. Our milk is handled in a most sani­ tary way and is now being supplied to Exeer as clean and as free from contagion as it is possible to make it.
