BOWUNO The Wingharq Advance-Times,Wednesday, November 23, 1955 rage Sevea HOW TO FORECAST THE WEATHER Here are some tips on how to fore­ cast the weather; It’s sure to be cold if pigs grunt uneasily or huddle; of caterpillars have broad bands; if there are plenty of comets; if geese fly late at bight —and if you forget to take along a heavy coat. Look for fair weather if crows fly in pairs; cats wash behind their ears; the sunset glows red; birds Ry high— and you take a raincoat, Expect snow if turkeys refuse to come down from the trees; cats sit with their backs to the fire; burping wood pops loudly—and your back aches. Get out the storm signals if foxes bark at night; seagulls sit on sand; hair of redheads turns kinky—and your corns hurt. If still in doubt consult your local weather forecast bureau, He doesn’t know any more about it than you “do.
