By The Way - - - This column doesn’t usually get in black and white until about Tuesday or Wednesday, but on this particular Saturday, the weather isn’t “fittin” for anything but an afternoon in front of an open fireplace, with a good book to read. Since I don’t have a good book at hand, and since the coal heater in the back of the office is anything but conducive to just day dreaming. I decided the next best thing to do would be to surprise Frank by getting this copy on the linotyye far ahead of schedule . . , For you out-of-town and out- of-state readers, today the streets and sidewalks, houses and lawns, are covered with a thick layer of ice and a thin coat of snow. Coming back from lunch today, the car got to tKe side of Doctor Houseal’s house on Boundary street with out any trouble; then as I started to turn, something hap pened. Instead of going for ward, the automobile insisted on going backward. It ended with my having to back to Caldwell street and head on to town that way. This weather makes one reminiscent. The slippery, icy roads remind me of a winter in Washington. When I worked there, I lived out in Arlington, Va., about five miles from the Capitol. Those of you who are at all familiar with the route from Washington to Arlington will remember the steep hill up Wilson Boulevard —it’s at least §is steep as the College street hill and much longer. I hated for snow-time to come, because I often had to ride the bus out to Virginia after work. I closed my eyes and crossed my fingers each time we came to that Wilson boulevard hill—but fortunately, the bus I was on always made it. I have often seen the time, however, when the busses just wouldn’t go up that hill with a full load. The driver would stop and dispatch all the passengers at the bottom, drive over the crest of the TTill and wait for the passengers to walk up to re load. . .
