Mrs. Struble is reported to be on the sick list this week. If you have any news, don’t fail to send or bring it in. We will be glad to hear it and so will your friends. And now, folks, last but by no means least, might we ask what happened to all those “good cheer” boys who were plentiful the first of the week promising warm, sunshining weather all week? They seem to have been buried in the snow, don’t thy? We also heard several "I told you so's" in regard to the “bug” snowstorm. But as a certain gentlemen of radio fame and prestige would say “Fo’ give me, fo’ give me!” What’s this about your reporters getting marooned in the snow in the region of Crown Point this week thus shifting her duties on her younger brother? Ask her for details!
