Season Has Its Compensations "Everything has its compensations" so Emerson, the great essayist, said, and we might add that every season has its compensation also. It has been very cold and stormy, mountains of snow, a great deal of shovelling to be done all the time, dif- 1 ficulties about getting around owing 1 to icy streets, chill winds and dark skies. But there are days too, when the sun shines on the snow clad world with unusual brilliance, making the heart sing. And the -moonlight shin­ ing on the fields and on the little houses half buried in snow, on the heavily-laden evergreens and on the water rushing over the mill dam— making a picture to gladden the eye and satisfy the soul. A different light, soft and not so bright, comes from the homes across the way and from the shops and service stations in the vil­ lage, and streams across the highway. It is then that this corner of the county gives us a glimpse of fairy­ land and makes us realize that winter, has many satisfying moments and we wflTildn’t exchange its beauty for the warmth of Florida, with its Spanish moss and Cypress trees.
