Just last week, when we groped for a few words to say, and stumbled on the. age- old subject of the weather, it was slushy. Sure, but when you folks picked up your News -Record early Thursday morning, it certainly was anything but that, Now with the sudden change in temperature between Tuesday and Wednesday, we're not going to risk a predict- ion for tomorrow. My goodness, we're just as like as not to wake lip Thursday and find a warm July breeze floating down the back al- * The end of January is well within sight. With that date comes to the back shop,a del- uge of church reports, year-end reports of all sorts, figures and funds. Here, in the Back Shop we deal in Seasons. All the way through the cold one, the luke- warm one, the warm one, the briskly cool one and back to the cold season, the work of the Back Shop seems to travel along as surely as the sun in the morn- ing and the moon at night.

During the past few months we've all made a friend of a young person by the name of Baby Campbell. (Not to be confused with the senior Camp- bell Man up at the main inter- section, though he, of course, is a likeable gentleman, too). This young Bobby arrived with his parents to live upstairs. over Mr. •Charlesworth's store, and in no time at all, the young lad had made himself acquainted with practically everyone in the block. Now Bobby's dad has been post- ed to some spot way out West, and yesterday they left. * * We're going to miss young Bob in our Shop, He had a gay habit of coming through the front of- fice fairly quietly, and as he reached the back shop door, he'd let out a gay little whoop all his own. The first time, it practic- ally startled me off my perch On the big press but since then we had gotten quite used to his greeting. Of course, we never introduced ourselves to the you- ng man, for we've gained a bit of knowledge of the reaction boys have to mice, and we are fully determined to live a few more months at least. * * He used to visit in the front of - ice a bit, too, and we noticed that a pencil and a bit of paper ept hint happy for long periods. He helped the girls with their ty- ing, and generally helped along he efficiency of the News-Rec- rd Staff. (Pardon me, that's a it of a misstatement perhaps, but t least he did do quite a bit for the morale of everyone here). * * * We'd like to wish Bobby and • his parents happiness in their new home in Manitoba, and we're truly sorry to see them go.

Tebbutt) The home of Mr. and Mrs. George Hoggart was the meeting place for members of the Fireside Forum of Hullett, on Monday, January 18, when 22 members attended. The topic for the evening, "Stop, Look, and. Listen," was well and thoroughly discussed by tWo sep- arate groups, many interesting points being brought to light on the subject. In the opinion of this forum, many accidents at level crossings could be avoided, if the following precautions would be taken: People should heed the signs, Extra stop signs should be erected 300 to 500 feet back, esp- ecially at places where you cannot see the tracks until you are al- most on them. Keep signs in good repair, brush and bushes cleared around signs on back roads, mak- ing visibility clear. Bells or flash- ing lights in cities, towns, busy highways, and main roads. Move snow fences as they sometimes block the view of signs.

The forum members recalled 15 unprotected level crossings in the district. The forum suggests that the automatic short arm gate, or a wig -wag would be satisfactory, or at least have all crosings "good and rough so people would at least have to slow up." Cost of crossing protection should be shouldered at least in part, by the township and the county. VARNA \ Mrs.. George Beatty who is teaching at a school near Londes- boro, contracted pneumonia recent - y. She is, however, •improving, and hopes to return to her school shortly. Official Board The Official Board of the Varna pastoral charge of the United Church met on January 18, when reports for 1953 were presented. Arrangements were made for the annual congregational meeting. • Rink In Use The rink this season is again in he charge of the Varna Orange Association. The very cold weath- r has made the ice excellent for hose who enjoy skatirig. Season ickets have been issued at nom - nal charges to cover maintenance, and the interest shown by the Lodge members is greatly apprec- ated. New Library Books The village library has recently added some new books to its col- ection. From this library, books are supplied to some of the schools. The library contains some very good books -fictional and non-fict- °nal. Every family in the area hould subscribe to the library and greater interest in this worthy nstitution is solicited. The library s located in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Beatty.
