The Kinsmen Club of Clinton held a very successful auction

From up here

"Oh it's so humid out."
"I wish it wouldn't get so cold at nights, my tomatoes
will be ruined."
"If we don't get some rain soon, everything will dry
up.
"It looks as if the barbecue's off for tonight if this rain
doesn't let up."
After listening to various complaints and comments on
the weather I've come to the conclusion that people
really must despise our elemental disciple of nature.
Likewise, the weather seems to try every possible trick it
knows to absolutely ruin people's lives.
From January to March, in what seemed to be 16 in-
stead of three months, we suffered the pain and agonies
of the great white wonder and only lived through the
winter with the hope and optimism of spring.
However, with the arrival of the warmer weather,
people suddenly turn pessimistic. Now they find that it's
too hot out and the warm weather makes them just as
crabby as the cold did.
Instead of suffering through the agonies of facing the
cold outdoors, people must now tend with the tortures of
walking out from their cool houses or air conditioned
offices into the glaring sun and blistering heat.
The troublesome snow machines, which never ran
properly all winter, must now be discarded while the
dismal chore of cleaning the pool begins.
While ladies complained allwinter. that they had no
warm sweaters or proper boots to wear, they soon realize
that they have no cool shorts or light sandals for their
summer attire.
The children who lavished the thought of getting a day
off school due to stormy weather become restless and
anxious to get back to classes as the end of summer
draws nearer.
The farmers who anxiously awaited the planting of
their crops in the spring suddenly hate their job when it
comes time to harvest their crops in all the summer heat.
The list of summer complaints can go on and on, but
one lucky thing about summer, or unlucky to others, is
that it only seems to last two, weeks compared to winter.
At the present time, scientists are working on a series
of satellites and mirrors that can be used to divert the
sun into giving 24 hours of daylight. Maybe they should
also try to regulate the temperature to nice medium that
will please everyone.
No matter how much of a burden the weather seems to
be, it's a very necessary part of our social life. It's
probably the most popular conversation piece for us and
can always be used to become acquainted with a
stranger.
It's one factor that we all have in common and often
must deal with as a group, as was clearly seen last
winter. ttesides, it's a worthy topic to write a column
about.
