Correscondentl Attend Retreat A number of young girls from this parish motored to the Ursul- ine Mother House in Chatham, on Friday last to take part in a girls retreat. The young .girls put their trust in prayers and they ask dur- ing the few day of retreat to be en- lightened and to receive divine in- spiration to help them make their life decision and guide them along to a future which will be pleasing to them. They returned to their homes on Sunday last. The past weekend visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Sopha were their three sons from Detroit, with their wives. Leonard, Law- rence and Clarence reported no snow to any account in the Detroit area. Wedding Anniversary Quietly at their home on this highway, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Be- dard celebrated their 48th anniver- sary of their married life. They were married in this parish Jan- uary 28, 1913, by the Rev. Father MML.Y SER ICE London and Toronto TO ZURICH DISTRICT Lauderville who was the parish priest at the time. The bride of that day was Celvia Ducharme a native borne .of the Drysdale dis- trict. Those who called at their home extended best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Bedard for many more years to enjoy. Tony, known of late as the water man for this highway, is kept busy the past weeks and the pres- ent outlook is bright for him for more weeks ahead. It is much easier for the farmer and takes much less of his time and at small cost. Tony is available any time. Mr. and Mrs. William Weising, of Sarnia, motored to Goderich on Saturday last, and on their return called on relatives in the neigh- bourhood. January Over The passing month of January is worthy of comment and we ask ourselves if we can remember a passing January that resembled it in the past.

Can any of the old heads recall a January without a thaw, not even enough to cause a little dripping from roofs. This January is an exception and can well be put on board for inspection to recore. It is different from all of the past ones, in geenral there has been much snow dumped on the surface which caused much embarrassment to the habitant of our land. Due to the extreme cold it was necessary to over task the heating systems, and fanned with high winds it caused many fires and loss of life. Highways also suffer- ed due to poor visibility and all of that adds to have made the month of January one very unusual. Nev- er the less, like all other passing events, it will sink deep in obliv- ion and be soon forgotten and only by the few will it be commented on. The month of February, the month of cold, will have made its appearance when this is released from the press, and already many are of the opinion that it too will be one of the unusual. They believe it will be sprnig-like after its mid- way, and from that they feel that the greater part of the winter has melted away. There is not too much use worrying about it just now and let us give the winter months time to play their role as the winter season, and then look for spring( and not till then. Per- haps if you want to ascertain your- self of the further outcome of the winter, and if you are a firm be- leiver of signs, then turn your eyes upward in a southerly direction on groundhog day and then if the sun is pouring forth its brilliance to cause a shadow, then you can ex- pect a further six weeks of winter.
