reputation of being "the snowbelt"
A few weeks ago the southern part
of the province was digging itself out'
of deep snow and we in this district
lead only a very ordinary amount,
However this week the' weatherman
has really got back into his stride
and a real old time storm has raged
since New Year's afternoon, accom-1
panted by zero weather. The morning
train from Godericli -was two hours
late Tuesday morning, and while
strains continue to run, they have )1
been anywhere from one to two hours
late. Many motorists away for the
holiday were stranded. The flour mill
had to curtail operations when the
supply of wheat Tan out, as no freight
was moving on the railway.
Comity roads are badly plugged.
The provincial highway plows have -
been getting through but persistent
drifting has'made driving difficult. In
