WEEK -END STORM Those who have been telling us that we would "pay up for" the fine, mild weather of most of the winter were justified to seine extent by the storm of the week -end, although it was notver severe as far as Y tem- perature went. Nor did we in this section suffer so much, even though a number of motorists were held up for a few hours, But it was a pret- ty general storm and motor, trolly and rail traffic was tied up in many places by the amount of snow which fell. Motors cannot climb over -snows drifts as horses can, and traffic on King's Highway No. 8 on Sunday be- tween Clinton and Stratford was Pretty well at a standstill. Even the big snowplow got stalled for some hours. but when it came through the line was open and is now in fine con- dition. However, it is an ill wind that blows nobody good. and the late fall of snow will add to the amount of moisture, of which the earth los not had ton much during the past year, and will be a blessing to many.
