GROUND HOG
SEES SELF?
NOT REALLY!
When the ground hog saw his
shadow Wednesday, it must have
been a shadow of a doubt as Ne
braska lacked only palm trees, sea
breezes, and Miami Chamber of
Commerce not to be mistaken for
Florida in February.
First symptoms of spring are:
Clothes lines minus the red flan
nels, soldiers singing "Oh, What
a Beautiful Morning" instead of
"Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the
Morning," crowded porches in
stead of overfilled parlors, and
misinformed soldiers forced to re
move their four shirts, three
sweaters, and two jackets.
Moral: For further forecasts of
the weather read your local news
paper or almanac, instead of tak
ing the advice of coeds or the
ground hog.
