SNOWDROPS WERE BLOOMING

But the overnight cold wave
made short work of them •

A. M. Knight the latter in her

IT WASN'T THE FIRST ONE

but it was the first to be found

United States weather, balloon in
his field north of the town on
Friday last . . The long rubber
part was fastened to the top of a

was a fully equipped radio set..,
As there were instructions to re-

A SHORT TIME AGO, WE RE-
' ported that our old townsman,
Fred Sloman, Capreol, had been
awarded $400 third prize in a
short story contest conducted by
Maclean's Magazine . . There-
upon, Fred came back with some
very interesting comments in a
letter to this g. f. j. . ,

NOW, THE STORY, ENTITLED
"The Tin Coat," is published in
the issue of February 15 of Mac-
lean's . , . It is a delightful little
tale -and as one might expeet
in view. of Fred's vocation in life
as a teacher of a school con-
ducted in a railroad car away
up North .the plot and action
are laid aboard a transcontinental
train travelling across Canada,..
Well, you for yourself!
Congratulations lto another author
from Clinton! , ,
ALTHOUGH WE •HAD INTEND -
ed to comment on it, somehow
or other we forgot to mention in
last week's issue that margarine
had .gone on sale in Clinton the
previous Friday . . The first
short shipments to the stores
"went like hot cakes" at a price
of 45 cents per pound, but fur-
ther shipments arrived this week
aboutmarnd g rinet pinion
lni compared
with butter; personally, we would
still like to be able to buy and
eat butter despite the lower price
of margarine . , Some saY You
can't tell them apart,but for our
part we'll say "there is a dif-
ference"

A FEW DAYS AGO, T H E
Editor received the gift of a half
pound of Salada coffee direct
from the Salada Tea Company,.
with the request that we try it
out and report back . We
can say honestly that it suits
our ' fastidious (more or less)

it doesn't take 'as much coffee to
do the job as some other brands
