At least that is what the `groundhog intimated. However since thate date 'we have experienced the coldest weather in February for years and no one knows what March' will bring us.. If the powers of weather forecasting are permanently taken from the groundhog, it is . debatable on whose shoulders the responsibility will fall. At the present time it ;is;+ practically impossible to find one unemployed weather prophet to take over the position which has been in the possession of the groundhog ,for centries. 4-4 Annual Meeting The annual meeting'of the Western Weather Insurance Co., was- held in the city of Woodstock on Feb. 9th. The weather being stormy 'and -roads bad and a great many policy holders' could not attend. The Company has had a great many losses but after paying all expenses has a balance of $222,000 in cash and bonds on hand. James Connolly of Goderich, was el- ected president for a second term. Mr E.

Probably the most outstanding of hockey games • in this district was played in Clinton last Wednesday evening when the Goderich Sailors, of the county town crossed sticks with the boys of Clinton in tike final play-off series for the League win- ners, resulting in 2-0 for Clinton. The many spectators present saw plenty of action and got their mon- ey's worth, when in the third period there was a mix-up between Robin- son and Kennedy and in five seconds every player on both teams had put down their sticks and fists were fly- ing galore. The umpire withdrew quietly . to a corner and County Traffic Officer Lever had his hands good and full till he got things qui- eted down, and the referee again took charge. But as the final bell rang the ice was crowded with spec- tators •;and . individual fights again started and it was fully fifteen min- utes before the ice was cleared. We notice -that regardless of the'depress- ing times generally, that these two teams when they play draw even lar- ger -crowds than when times were good, and little do we wonder at the kind of program: they' put up. , They must be scholars of the old school, of.rathel play the man than the game Groundhog to Loose Position The special permission of the copy right- owners is being sought to take away from the lowly groundhog his powers as a weather forecaster. That is, his official powers. The active ones seem practically nil. Since Candlemas Day, Feb. 2, when the little marmot, (scientists are calling himan arrant fakir -and an unmitigated liar) fore- told that spring was turning the cor- ner, winter has descended upon the world. And statistics •proev that the same thing has happened for the past five years. The old legend claims that if Candlemas Day be bright and clear, we'll have two winters in one year.

Speaks at Toronto T. R. Patterson, engineer of ,the. County of Huron, was a speaker last week at a convention of road super- intendents held' in Toronto. He spoke, on "Low Cost Bituminous Road Sur- faces," and said : The use of asphalt and tars for roadbuilding has been comparatively recent. Some was us- ed about one hundred years ago, but these materials carne into general use during the past fifty .years. Some of the first tar roads were built in this province and the publication "Hist- ory of Tar Concrete Pavements in Ontario," by W. A. •McLean, former Deputy Minister, was a reference on the subject. Bituminous pavements were first built on city streets, and the term "permanent roads," as ap- plied to them, became popular and the objective of engineers, in devel- oping these roads, was to attain the permanent characteristic as nearly as possible. It was not generally rec- ognized ecognized that interest charges on a pavement costing $3.00 peep.. square yard'would pay for a lot of repairs, but the principles established have been a valuable guide to those end- eavoring to construct a serviceable surface in keeping with the needs of the road. It has for many years, been impressed ' upon me that high speed traffic demands, and is entitled tote a better driving surface on our county roads than the gravel. gener- ally in existence. A little considerati- on will convince that it is economic- ally impraaticable to build a .high class pavement on all such secondary roads ata cost of $20,00 per mile, so that the solution of selecting a satis- factory surface must be found else- where. In 1926, when building a sheet asphalt pavement in a local town, we had constructed, by way of experiment,' a three-inch sheet asph- alt su free on about one-third mile of gravel road. Since that time this road has required . no maintenance,. and is in apparently good construct- ;ion a double tar surface treatment .an a smooth, well -consolidated, crush- ed gravel road ;'in 1926 we added another treatment, and since that time, Aside from patching a little, o • the upkeep cost has been nothing.

Hard to Win Hockey history was macre at God- erich last Friday. night, after two tours of gruelling hockey which in ;cluded six overtime periods, Clinton and Goderich, group finalists, were still deadlocked, one -all. Referee Ol- iver declared the water-sogged ice unfit for further play. The deciding game however was played at Clinton on, Monday evening when the home boys defeated the Sailors Brom the county town by the score of 2-1. It was a very fast and clean game, and the largest crowd that ever witnessed a hockey game was present, and the Clinton team now .goes on in the fin- als, playing with Walkerton on Wed- nesday and Friday evenings of this waak: Hensall Residents are Called Two of Hensall's best known cit- izens died at their homes early on Thursday of last week within a few hours. .
