Newspapers Association, Class "A" .Weeklies ofdanada, and The -Huron • County Press 'Association., k SEAFORTH, Friday, January 31 A Real Old -Timer A few weeks ago we remarked, casually,. that the seasons seemed to be, _changing. in Huron. That the present -generation did not know what a real snow storm was like, and 'that older generations could no long - use them as a;date for calculation. Well, we were wrong. Fortunate - 1 -y, for our reputation as a weather prophet, we did not •say that we would never again experience an ' old-time snow storm again,. In fact, we were enough to say that a Huron winter was a Hur- on winter, and 'one' could never tell what the weather man would do, nor when he would do jt. • We were right there. The weather man has done it, and a real good job • he has made of it too. He has sent us a snow storm that was a snow storm. A real old-timer, in fact. It wasn't a one (sr two day affair either. It lasted all last week and • continued it on into this week. The • country is smothered in snow. :_The •concession roads have disappeared; the county ,roads are just visible, and • even the highways were no -longer • highways for a• day or two. There is no question about the traf- • fic authority of the weather • man. When he puts out the •s•top sign, traf- fic stops. The 'ear drivers, the bus • drivers, and even the mighty truck "-- drivers come to a' halt before his out- stretched hand. • . What is more, they stay put until he gives the word again. And last " ''fweek-that word was quite •a time in • coming. The big now tplows had hard. work getting up the highways and ,just as hard worjc getting"down • again, and there was no "Ge -Si until they, accomplished both. - And that was onl3r on' the high- ways. There is no motor traffic on ,the other roads, not even on the streets of the towns. Even the •-youngsters ,know now what an old- ' time stOrm is like; they don't 'just have to take the old people's word for it. And the old -people ? Was this old- • timer as fine a• thing in reality, as it was mernory? Are they satisfied now? •If not, perhaps-, they *ill be • before this week is out. Anyway, we came through the experience safely and well, so why worry. a matter of fact, we are not worrying, at least not about )that. What is bothering us now is the fact-- • that we have bought a . new pair of • licenses.' : They 'are no use to us off the car, and the car is nd use to us even with them one. • All of which makes:us feel, very • much as if the weather man had gone • out of his road to help the Minister Of Highways put a real one over on us. • Thep Would be Safe Enough •. To -Dap • The Erie Railroad Magazine says that stealing Bibles frem Erie ?trains a hau century*. ago was •almost as prevalent as the practise of appropri- • ating Pullma,n toWels is to -day.

Bibles -in that bygone day would -appear, non the surface to have been more plentiful than they are to-daY. There -was at least one in every home, more often several. Every church member carried one and used it in church. They were favorite birthday. and Christinas gifts. They were in every school and in every public building. Perhaps for that very reason they were looked upon as desirable booty, something that could readily be turn- ed into money. Or perhaps the train passengers thought it was an inex- pensive way of providing themselves with a book that,everyone else seem- ed to prize and 'possess. To -day, however, we venture « to say that Bibles could be safely left , not only in passenger coaches, but in mail and express cars without any protection whatever. To -day the Bible is about the only book that can not be fotind-in the average home; about the only book • that the average church goer will not carry to or read in church, as . well _as about the only book that can • not be found in the pew racks in the average church. , Arid yet, the l3ible to -day, in spite of appearances, is still as it was a• - half century or more ago; the most widely read book in. the world. ° Interettixte pielted from -rho Expos*?ot SAY liatt teiterkesite Yeara agfh Premier Ilepburn's Return It is announced from Queen's Park that Premier Hepburn. will return from the south this week and will be in his office _in the Parliament Build- ings by Saturday. • Nofhing regarding the Premier's health, however, was said, but it is hoped and expected that his month's holiday in Florida will- have benefit- ted him sufficiently to enal3le him to again take up his duties as well as lead the government during the com- ing session. • i Owing • to the •, death of King George, the short session which was to haVe commenced on Tuesday of last week, has been aband.oped, and the Legislature will n�'@ meet on Feb_ruary lith, and it is expected will continue in session until the legisla- tive programme for the year has been completed. The Cabinet, it is said, is not busy • putting the finishing touches on all bills and other legislation and will be fully prepared when opening day • The session, whether short or long, is expected to be a lively one, as such measures as the new power contracts as well as other contentious legisla- tion, will come before the House. What the attitude of the Opposi- tion will be is beyond conjecture, but certainly there are reasons to sup- pose that they will be on their toes and in a fighting mood. And one of these reasons is the forthcoming choice of a new Ontario Conservative leader. Present prom- inent members of the Legislature, and present_ would-be prominent ! members of the party ih the Htnise, will be anxious to show what they ean do to make their bid for prefer- ence recognized, and as there ap- pears to be no lack of aspirants for the leadership, debate is likely to be loud, and, perhaps, long.
