FRIDAY, DUCE WEATHER CHANGES AS SNOW STORM HITS THIS DISTRICT Roads Heavy in Places As First Snow of Season. Comes Thursday. PRECEDENT IN 1895 Winter arrived exactly on time this year 'tsrthen the seasonfs first snow fell on, Wednesday night, Dec. 20th. By Thursday the grunted was completely covered and 'roads at several points were heavy far wheeled traffic. While the sprin,g-like weather of the past two months has been most unusual, it has a precedent, Mr. Wm. Black, well mown Tuckersmith farm- er, told the Expositor. Ln 1895 Mr. Black recalls that there was no snow 11711tit Oltristmae and he was able to plow every day until -Dece,mber 23rd, two days before Christmas. While the mild and snowless fall inlay have resulted, in smaller mai bills, at the same time it thas slowed up Christmas shopping according to merchants. People, they claim, could telt realize that Christmas Was only a few days distant when everything was so springlike. The unusual December lengthened considerably the golfing season in Seaforth. Members continued playitig on the course until this. week and say it was in excellent condition. Wbile golfers regretted the snow fall, skat- ers and curlers rejoioed. The rink management lost no time, once the ' weather changed, in preparing to make ice and is confident that the scheduled Beavers vs. Stratford in- termediate 'B' game will take place next Thursday.
