Mrs. R. E. Dye, Mrs. Rayner acted as secretary treasurer. Mrs. George McGinn was in charg»e of sewing supplies. ~Mrs. JH Stcvel o‘r., was in charge of the meeting and in the absence of South Porcupine has been feeling the effects of that cold blast from the North Pole last week. After a slight letâ€"up in the below zero weather, <~lacst Thursdey night‘s reading of the township thermometer recorded 49° below which came sudâ€" denly and left its mark on watlérâ€" pipes and all "freezables." _ The township‘s special apparstus for trawing out water â€" pipes was kept quite busy. Incidentally this machine does the job in less than ten minutes when "hitched" and there is no internal mess, muss or fireâ€"hazard. 1t is inâ€" finitely than attempting the "blowâ€"torch‘ method, and possibly as cheap in the long run. Another comment heard from outâ€" siders and even admitted by our own citizens is the excellent way in which the streets of this town have been kept snowâ€"free in spite of the really heavy snowfall this Winter; thanks to the efficient Works Dept. of the Township. Looking at the mzin streets, there are now no mounds of fourâ€"feet snowâ€" banks bordering the thoroughfare all is flat as a snowplough can make it.
