At no tine during the past tiro ’.rooks has
the tenporaturo boon over 8 above zero
and for ono vook it'has not reached zero
from the minus‘sido. ~ith clear weather
hanging steady, it does not appear that
Warner woathor is very clbso at hand.
It nust be remembered too, that this is
the official report of temperature ranges
at the Experimental Fans, and there are
several areas in the Valley where the
mercury will drop considerably lower than
this.
Mr. Lloyd King of the Experimental Fam
..said that in looking back over urevious
years, he found that in i939 there were
only a few days in January when'the tom
oeraturo dropped as low as zero.
Oldtimors in the Valley claim that they
have never seen anything to equal the
oresont cold snap hore. Certainly during
the test 12 yoars the Settlers have ex
perienced nothing like it.
DOUBLE VICTORY FOR
PALMER
In spite of cold wonthcr a large crowd
enjoyed two fast moving games with the
Eklutnn Boys Basket Ball Team and the
Girls Basket Bril To am. The Eklutnn.
School is now located at Sovrard and it was
nocossary for the terms to come by train
and then bus to Palmer.
The Eklutnn boys wore very quick on their
feet and played a good clean game, but had
bad luck in ranking baskets. Thu game was
exciting from beginning to end with tho
Palmer boys playing n fine gone all tha
way through. Tho team work was excellent
and tho boys really played hard oven though
the score would indicate an easy gone.
Mr. L. K. Gibson of P'.lmor was roferco.
