Walters ank six nur- ses in training, Record Weather 'Last Week-ZThe cold spell of last week is believed to be a record for this district with early 1Friday morning having the lowest temperature. Forty-four below zero was reported here on Friday morning. while some places nearby report even lower temperatures, Lucknow 53 be- low, Gorrie 52 below, and Walkerton 51 below. Early Thursday morning it was 35 below here and the continued cold kept the plumbers busy thawing pipes from_ early, morning until late at night. In fact they had extra help and then could not cope with the work. There has never been any official chart of the weather kept here, but we believe that the coldest it ever was be- fore here in the history .of the old settlers was 33 below zero, and this was in March, 1897, when for three days this very low temperature pre- vailed.
