Low Temperature,

Winter made another assault
on the weather-weary of this
district the night of February
14, by dropping the temperature
to 50 below in Horsefly. The fol-
lowing day brought milder tem-
peratures, but the relief was
short lived, for snow and more
snow followed, until by Febru-
ary 16 another 16 inches had
fallen. With the arrival of the
plows the “deserted village”
came to life again and a busy
weekend resulted. However the
desire for spring may have to
be curbed awhile yet, as the
forecasters predict still more
cold.

LAST THURSDAY, February
16, a Valentine party was given
to the Horsefly Sunday School
children by Mrs. J. Fetters. and
Mrs. S. Barrett,

The Primary Group of fifteen
met at Mrs. Fetters’ home after
school. Games, stunts and a
treasure hunt preceded their
going to join the Junior Inter-
mediate Group for supper at the
Barrett home.

Mrs. Barrett’s class enjoyed
contests and a short devotional
period before refreshments were
served. Marjory and Georgina

times proves a handicap due to

A LITTLE CHANGE has been
made around the Grove, when,
owing to the lease being up on
their store building, the Felkérs
began Sunday afternoon to move
their_merchandise into a large
room built in the back of Gra-
ham’s Garage. They will be open
for business there until such
time as a new store building
can be built. The post office had
to be moved also, and so they
set up temporarily at Weaver's
Kkanch, about one mile from the
Grove. Mrs. Grace Aldred has
taken over the post office work
for the time being.

‘Valentine’ s Day
Coldest of Year

Tuesday, February 14 was the
coldest so far this winter,/at 9
v’elock it was still 44° below
zero. School was closed again
and on Wednesday classes were
back to normal.

THE Kamloops Outlaws’ hoc-
key team played here again this
weekend. The weather was ideal
for hockey and-the visitors were
pleased with the condition of
the ice. The game Saturday night
was slowed down with too much
roughing and fighting. Referee

| Dingwall had a hard time keep-

ing order on the ice. At one
time both teams had only. three
men left in play.

Kusumatto was. finally. given
a match penalty near the} end
of the last period. The Outlaws
racked up a score of* 6-0"in' the
first period. L. Ogden and Pas-
co Bates each got a goal near
the end of the game with the
final score 12-2 for the Outlaws.

On Sunday the boys. settled
down and realy played @ fast
game. Hollingsworth and Kin-
ane were back on the ice after
missing Saturday’s game. The
Wild Horses scored two goals in
the first three minutes of play.
There was very little roughing
and few penalties during the
game. The Wild Horses won
with a score of -6-4.-Percy Ose
deni is hoping to arrange a game
with Clinton or Williams Lake
for Thursday night.

THE WILLIAMS LAKE Mid-
gets downed the Lac La Hache
Midgets on Sunday afternoon by
a score of 7-3. The local team
were rather light for the Lake
boys, the team being about half
pee-wees.

DRIFTING SNOW has caused
most of the side roads to be
plugged. John Felker had his
bull dozer out opening the Tim-
othy Lake road on Sunday eve-
ning. 3 snow fences were put
up in the usual places this win-
ter and with the heavy fall ¥
show the past few days and high
winds it is going to be a prob-
lem keeping the roads open. _

One of Canada’s worst disas-
ters was a four-day Great Lakes
storm in 1913 in which 300
seamen drowned.
