RESIDENTS ARE STILL i-
DIGGIN'G OUT AFTER
OLD FASHIONED STORM
The stormy weather of, last
week, while diminished in Paten—
Wae still with us in the early:
Pert of this week, with even low-
er teniperattiree.
alein highways and most roads.
in the. area hen been opened but
winds, drifting snow and poor
visibility ere still making driving
hazardous. lit some eases roads
have been lilting in repeatedly •
after being ploughed.
While no real hardships have
been reported in this immediate
vicinity, many people have been
snowbound for the past, week, un-
able to leave their homes, A good
many .ethers have found that
walking is the only way . to get
menthe when their ears are oal)-
live in huge drifts of snow, unless
they are fortunate enough to own
a snowmobile, as many are.
On Friday of last week a short-
age of bread was imminent with
bakery trueks from other centres
unable to cope with weather con-
ditions. -However, we were indeed.
fortunate to have a local bakery,
working overtime, to supply, not
on17,, their own customers but 'all
those in need of it.
One thing the week long storm
-peeved is that.the.milk of human
kindneee still Tuns free. People
are stillready and willing to help
.eaelt• other in time of need. When
aboute150 country pupils at Biles-
..sels Public School. were steeple

and Tleirsday because any trans-
portation NVILS • impossible, there
was no 'problem in' senueing billete'
Ion them in private homes. Th. D.
Scott. principal re' the school re-
ported that offers of billets poured,
in. as minty as siy or seven
children were cared for in, at least
one home.•
There have been a number of
complaints about the :conduct. ..of
Seine snowmobillers, in 'past, weeks, •
but there has been nothing but
praise from snowbound and elder ,:
ly folk for the services provided :

tt8ed their vehicles to deliver elm-
plies and generally keep a 10() kora
on the welfare of those unable to:
get about for themselves and
thhse personi4 are most .gratetini
for their set's-ices.
The most frequently heard re,
mark these days is `11's like the
winters we used to have". We did
hear tho sound of sleigh bells one
day.
