Probably we should postpone
Memorial Day until July. We have
restarted our coal fire four times
this so-called spring and have made
up our mind that it is lit for the
last time. We are going to keep it
burning all summer. We have con-
cluded that nature has gone nuts
and the seasons are changing.
Summer this year may start Sep-
tember first and end the last week
of November. Good gosh! that will
make us push back Thanksgiving
Day because we can’t have that
until after the harvest.
Maybe there is something to the
theory that seasons are changing.

February. Ah! we foolishly thought,
we have licked this cold blustery,

weather. February is a short
month, then March will come with
its winds and we'll suffer, but every
wind will melt the winter snows so
we won't mind. We will have only
two months of cold, stormy days
and then — then, oh! boy, then
comes April:
Gentle April, how we love it. A
quick shower once in a while, but
that’s no matter since men stopped
wearing hard straw hats that
wilted in a spring rain. Just give
us April.
Well, April came and May is al-
most passed and we haven't seen
anything but winter. Maybe June,
July and August will be the spring
months and then will come sum-
mer. Well, that satisfies us as long
as we don’t skip any seasons, but
in the meantime for flowers we

it's true, but there are only two
things we know of that have gone Plan Farmer Dance
up five times the price of years
ago. They are geraniums and ice Jackson Township Volunteer
cream sodas. We used to get a nice
geranium for a dime. Now its fifty
cents ‘and everyone knows that
sodas used to cost a nickel, now a
quarter. If we have one more war
we will be afraid to ask the price.
Well, we should be satisfied. At
least geraniums are not taxed. We
hope no one in Washington heard
us say that.
Firemen will hold their second an-
nual Farmer Dance at Kunkle Com-
munity Hall, June 14, 9 P.M. Re-
freshments will be served by the
Women’s Auxiliary.
