News and Views From Over Cateechee Way If it IS an' colder at the North pole than it was here on last Saturday and Saturday night, January 12th Cook de serves credit for ''hanging the rag'' on the pole. With frost-bitten toes, red nose and sore ears we have about come to the conclusion that the time has ar rived that we cannot distinguish the ''spring from the autumn only by the falling of the leaves.'' Old people say it is the roughest winter that has been in this country for years. With from one to two meatless :md lourless days to the week, no sugar in the coffee, corn bread with no salt in it, a limited amount of fuel, thin clothes, and frost-bitton feet is enough to make a man wish every (erman was in a ''hot'' country'' Well our forefathers fought and suffered many hardships for the liberties that we have been enjoy ing and now it is our time to suffer and we are no better than they are. The writer sees trainload after train loads of soldiers pass Norris every week and with tears in our eyes we feel like rising on our toes, pulling oil' our hat and giving three hearty cheers. it makes us feel goodmcl anid had too. It makes us feel good to know we still hiave plenty of young men with the blood of their forefathers circulating in their veins to lay their lives on the al tar of their country if need he and sa: by their actions and deeds ''we do no want it written on our epitaph tha we are cowards."

A matter of worthy mention is tl of how the convicts have been treal ever since the camps wvere pitched I twveen Cateechee and Norris in Nove 'Iher. Rev. J.
