January Weatlier
Following the trend of the first
month of 1942, and of 1943, our op
ening month this year gave us ex
actly the same normal maximum,
minimum and average temperatures;
maximum 55 degrees, minimum 33
degrees, average 44 degrees.
But the figures are deceiving as
all of us know who remember the
first weeks of the past JanuaVy with
its raw, cloudy and cold days;
, touching a low of 15 degrees on the
10th, and 18 degrees on the 16th,
with an average of 29.5 degrees on
the 9th, and 35.5 degrees on the
15th: temperatures actually lower
than those recorded in many North
ern states.
These low readings v/ere offset
and the general average heightened
by the high temperatures prevalent
during the last of the month, reach
ing a high of 78 degrees on the 28th.
The ten days elapsing from the 21st
to the 31st were bright and clear
with maximum temperature ranging
from 60 to 78 degrees.
Flights of cedar waxwings ap
peared on the 15th, and the once
frozen winter jasmin and Christmas
honeysuckle blossomed again soon
followed by budding daffodils. Sev
enteen days were all clear, six’ days
partly cloudy, eight days cloudy and
three days with rain, 2.05 inches
falling on the night of the 14th and
following day. Two inches of snow
fell on the 9th.
Total precipitation for the month
was 4.57 inches, 1.15 inches more
than the normal expectation. Ral
eigh reports an excess of .60 inches.
New Year’s Day was clear, high
est temperature 45 "degrees, lowest
30 degrees, average 37.1.

When we were very young our
Puritans used to say of the Dancing
Set, “Their brains , are in their
heels”. Maybe they danced on their
heels in those days. I can’t remem
ber. The testimony of the sages de
nies the Puritan’s narrow prejudice.
Wasn’t it Izaac Walton who discov
ered the missing link between foot-
power and brainpower? Didn’t
Charles Darwin go hiking cross
country while he worked out a
theory so vast that only William' lynched.”
Jennings Bryan dared spit in its
eye? Yes, indeed. And there was old
Man Weston. Remember him? He
was champion pedestrian of the
world, which he walked around—
except for the wet spots—a half doz
en times. Pop Weston died on some
body’s doorstep at the age of 97
with the appropriate speech, “The
last hundred miles, boys!” The doc
tors called it exhaustion. I don’t be
lieve it.
Such cosmic thoughts, and many,
many more, flood the old bean as I
push jaded shoeleather along the
cross cut behind Mr. O’Callaghan’s
store. Brother O’Callaghan has 'a
ing unfinished symphony:
The Yankee soldier is allowed
To storm the surf and ride the cloud,
While we sit back a-looking proud.
And gloat.
We let him rassle death to bring
Back the fat scalp of Kesselring,
We let him do most anything.
But vote.
I trust that the Representatives
and Senators who have labored ear
nestly to keep the soldier ballot
clean won’t get sensitive and resign
after reading the above remarks. To
them I apologize. To the others,
thumbs up. But not all the way.

me, “Why don’t you revive your

Baumeister of Sayville, L. I.; Cpl. Poles. Don’t fight among yourselves,
Gerald Elwood Herr ©f Camp Mack- boys. Look at how harmoniously our
all and Mrs. Jane Holt of Southern Congress gets along . . . Some of the
Pines; Lawrence J. Ferricher of newspapers still call Congressmen
“Solons”. I always hated that word.
It s like calling a dog a canine,
whether he’s a blooded terrier or
a mutt. ’Tis dogs’ delight to bark
and bite. But sometimes Congress
men agree; so do the hot dogs we
call Senators. For instance, when
theyi ganged up on food subsidies—
and if they’re allowed to finish the
orgy there won’t be any subsidies.
Or any food . . . How about the Sol
dier Vote? Isn’t it wonderful how a
lot of Capitol Hillers i re-discover
States Rights, at the very moment
when they’re such rarin’, tearin’ Na
tionalists that they’re hardly speak
ing to our Allies! . . . Never mind the
war, big boys. Keep pulling the wires
in the old home district. Keep the
home wires burning . . .
. . . .But what am I grousing
about? Possibly, by the time the
Sand Box is off the press, the Sen
ate will have taken the Soldier Vote
out of the moth bag for a nice dry
cleaning . . . Possibly . . .
. . • But I wonder if the home folks
are lo keen about handing funny
state ballots to their boys overseas?
Farmer Dan Diggs, for instance. Is
he puzzled because, according to
Congress, the uniform has turned his
son into a political idiot? Well, not
an idiot exactly. The boy’s got to
be pretty smart if he ever gets hold
of one of those six pound ballots
Mr. Raiikin is all geared up to pub
lish. How’ll we ever ship that ton
nage overseas? Will 48 sovereign
states load the ships with 4,800
trucks; and 48,000 local politicians
to distribute the official flypaper
and explain what it means? Gosh,
thinks Mr. Diggs, I ain’t no sailor!
But you can’t put ten tons of hay
on a two ton wagon. How much
space have we got on those con
voys, anyhow? Let’s stop the war
and educate the soldiers in the Great
Rankin Plan. . . .
Don’t worry, Mr. Diggs. Wash-
^ngton s state ballot group don’t ex
pect that bulging cargo to get to the
fighting front. The object of the
game is to keep our armed forces
from voting ... But let’s admit that
statesmanlike reasoning often gets
into the fourth dimension, far be
yond humble thinkers like you and
me. What’s Congress afraid of now?
Does a man get to be a New Dealer
the minute he puts on Uncle Sam’s
uniform? Doesn’t look like it. I’ve
talked with soldiers who think that

WHY FATS ARE SCARCE
Japanese control of Pacific areas
which normally produce and export
many glycerine containing fats and
oils, has cut the United States off
from an important source of supply,
and until these areas are freed and
our normal imports are resumed, it
is imperative to collect and turn in
for re-use every pound of used fat
that can be saved.
