Interesting facts about Feb- ruary before we say goodbye to it. The years containing five Sundays in February occur in regular order every 400 years. This year isn't one of them. In this century 1920, 1948 and 1976 all had five Sundays in February. The next occurance will be in the year 2004. The fol- lowing conditions must apply for this to happen: First it must be a leap year. Second, the first day of January must fall on a Thursday. About once every 19 years, February has no full moon at all. This occurred in 1961 and 1980 and will next oc- m bowled for millions ont Sunday. What a difference. a week makes! Can see green grass and much warmer, but I'm sure spring is not here to stay yet. This is a'correction from last week. The news should have read - Bill Bolton visited Larry Brown and family of Calgary. Our apology to anyone who was embarassed or hurt by this er- ror. Saturday was a beautiful day but Don and Judy Phinney de- cided to spend it in Uxbridge Curling Club. After winning steaks Friday night, they con- tinued on and won first place af- ter Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, they came up against a brick wall in Don Beaton. But they did manage to win more steaks. Don and Judy curled | with Marg and Ivan Geer. cur in 1999. Oh, by the way, don't let this February warm spell fool you. Remember Feb. 2 and what the ground hog said. Phoned Dave Dietlein Sun- day and spoke to his father.
