Batt'n Around — Continued from page 4 in any attempt to keep up with today's youth. However, many oldsters still like to point out that conditions under which they lived were much more difficult and they are probably correct in their opinions that many of today's generation couldn't have coped with it at all. One of the things many senior citizens enjoy talking about is the fierce winter conditions of a few decades ago. However, some of the winters in the recent past have managed to provide the same amount of heavy snow and just last week this area experienced one of the lowest temperatures on record. We're not certain what the exact reading was in your particular community in South Huron, but no doubt it was around the —20 to —25 figure somewhere. There's no question but what that figure is the type seldom experienced by grandpa, so he's lost another of his "I remember when" topics to the modern weatherman. Speaking about the weather, there have been few on record as enjoyable as that being experienced this year. It's been cold at times, but we have yet to have a crippling storm, or one that even threatened to reach any such proportions. This week, the groundhog will decide the fate of the balance of the winter weeks. Let's hope he won't be too unkind, * * * For those who have been shivering through the recent cold snap, thoughts of the sunny south no doubt proved rather enticing. However, recent visitors to Florida tell us that it wasn't too great down there at times either. During one stretch this month, Florida had four successive nights when the temperature dropped to beloW the freezing mark. Many of the crops were ruined. Holidayers, report it 'was so cold they didn't even get an opportunity to go swimming while on their holiday. Activities get under way on Friday night at seven o'clock, when three Hensall Minor Hockey teams, the Novice, Peewees and. Bantams, will host Exchange vows in local church A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized in Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall, Saturday, January 24, 1970 at 2 p.m. when Linda Gail Reid became the bride of Donald Gordon Towton in a double ring ceremony before the Rev.
