A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That
By MBA
WE CANNOT remember a
winter when the weather was
so generally the subjectof'num-
erous
con-
versation and the cause of num
erous 'headlines in all daily and
weekly papers. . So this is a
weather story to end all weather
stories Canadians should
know by now there is no such
thing as an abnormal winter -or
spring or summer , Having liv-
ed, in the northern half of this
continent for over a hundred and
fifty years and in some parts of
Eastern Canada much longer., we
should realize after such a time,
that the unpredictable is the
usual and not otherwise . , . And
if we pick paneies in January at
a temperature of 63, or have -a
snow storm in May, or either
freeze eaw... gwelter in August, it's
just . the/ good old Canadian
climate in its usual form , . ,
From coast to coast our climate
has always been as changeable
as a lady's whim, andif variety
is the spice of life, we Canadians
should never have a dull mo-
ment . .

THE- VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE •
This paragraph has often point-
ed out the dilemma of alcoholism.
There is a happier alternative
and that is sobriety. Sobriety is
not the cause of 80%u of our'
crimes as alcoholism is.'Sobriety
does not intake a ear driver a
killer on the highway as aleoh-
olism does, Sobriety does not
rob, a man of his , freedom. end
make him a beaten slave as aloch-
olism does. Sobriety is the happy
state of those who never touch
alcohol. Say no -to alcohol al-
ways and everywhere. We will
have a happier world. 5-b
