What Was The
Decision Of Mr. and
Mrs. Ground Hog?
(Continued from page 1)
of blue sky she now gazes into the
sull.n fury of lowering clouds in
tent upon the duty in hand. No
coquette can ever match the fickle
ness of Mother Nature and Mrs.
Ground Hog goes back to her lord
and master with down-cast mien.
What shall she t 11 him? Then an
inspiration smacks her right be
tween the eyes of comprehension.
He has no right to put the burden
of decision on her shoulders; it is
his tradition, not hers. He gets all
the credit when he is right; he is
referred to as the Forecaster Su
preme and he never t. lis the world
that he has sent his wife out first
to determine conditions. All of a
sudden, she emancipates hers-If ;
she is through being his go-ahead-of
any longer. She has found her
self after all these years, and sh?
isn't going to lose any time in let
ting him real:ze that fact. Per
haps, who knows with conditions
as they are, she will do the Big
Work hfrself next year.
Head held high, she wtilks Into
Mr. Ground Hog's bedroom and
announces that this is one time he
is going to make his own decision.
"And you'd better be up and get
ting out," she fct lis him, "it is one
minute of eleven and you are due
at eleven when the whole world
looks to you for the weath r con
ditions for the next six weeks. Get
going."
Surprised beyond expression at
the sudden turn of affairs, Mr.
Ground Hog hurriedly arises and
dresses in his best bib and tucker,
preparatory to his great adven
ture. He holds himself erect, opens
the door and steps out into the
world just as the big clock strikes
the hour of eleven.
Whad did Mr. Ground Hog find
waiting for himf Has he gone
back to his warm, comfortable bed
for another six-week's snooze; or
has he gone back, a penitent fore
caster, and aakrd Mrs. Ground
Hog to come out into the Great
Open, for Spring is beckoning?
