Any | time now the first robin should take a chance on a trip up from "down below", the first bit of bare ground should be uncovered, and the ice on the Mattaâ€" gami begin to crack. The word "spring" itself is among the oldest of the English language, being taken almost unchanged from the Anâ€" glo Saxon. Originally it meant "to leap. to come forth, to emerge or io shoot up," and in its old form was spelled "springan." Thus it is well suited to express the meaning Oof the season of sprouting green and the uniâ€" versal change these months bring. ; Toâ€"day is the first official day of spring, the almanac says. But just : as December 21st is supposed to be the | first day of winter, our northern weathâ€" erman does not usually take much lcognlzance of what the books say on the subject. He seems to like to get his winter weather going a little ahead of time and sometimes he forgets to shut off the snow when the calendar indicates the closed season But don‘t put away your overshoes and overcoats just because the calendar says it‘s spring, for we have it on good authority that there is to be another snow storm yet!

The concert has been well rehearsed and it is expected that many music lovers of the district will take advantage of hear the numbers. The United Church choir has chosen "The Three Fishers," and "The Cossack Song," as part of their contribution to the evening‘s entertainment. A worth while musical programme is being presented toâ€"morrow evening at the United Church by the choir and a "symphonic group of musicians." The concert will include many first class choral and symphonic selections that will no doubt have a wide appsal.
