WENHAM 
Although the ground-hog couid 
not see his shadow on Candlemas 
and therefore we are assured of an 
early spring, yet the _ present 
weather is hardly the beginning of 
the balmy season. Indeed much 
‘sympathy was expressed for the 
eroundhog and there was wide- 
spread fear that he might freeze his 
toes while making observations up- 
on his shadow. The weather, cold 
as it is, can searcely be considered 
favorable for Wenham’s ice men, 
owing to snow and rain. Social and 
religious engagements are all en- 
tered into with reservations. 
Wenham’s Ladies’ society has 
usually drawn clear weather for its 
suppers and meetings. last week 
the ladies had sunshine for their 
‘all-day sew.’’ But their last two 
monthly meetings and suppers were 
not so fortunate. However, it takes 
more than bad weather to dis- 
courage the ladies. 
Services will be held as usual in 
the village church on Sunday. In 
the morning the minister, Rev. F. M. 
Cutler, will be the preacher. In 
addition to the Sunday school and 
the Y. P. S. C. E. meeting, a Junior 
C. E. meeting will be held at 5 p. 
m., with Miss Margaret Sawyer in 
Christian Endeavor day, 
charge. The coming Sunday is 
and con- 
sequently of considerable import- 
ance to the young people. This is 
also anniversary week for American 
boy scouts, Monday being the act- 
ual birthday of the movement. 
Harris A. Reynolds of Cambridge, 
will address a social service forum 
in the village chureh at 7 p. m. Sun- 
day, on the subject, ‘‘Town forests, 
the crux of conservation.’’ Wen- 
ham has not heard much about for- 
estry in recent years, and this forum 
provides a chance to get in touch 
with an’ important state movement. 
Fitchburg has recently taken up the 
plan with earnestness and enthu- 
slasm. 
On February 11, 1826, was born a 
lady now known and loved under 
the name of Mrs. Priscilla Dodge. 
Her friends go in numbers to con- 
eratulate her on each recurring 
birthday, especially as she is so near 
to the noble age of ninety. 
Wenham’s Lyceum, which has 
been resting from its work of pro- 
viding high-grade entertainments 
since 1911, is on the point of reviv- 
ing, and offering the public the 
‘‘best program ever.’’ Owing to 
reasons of convenience, this enter- 
tainment will take place in the well- 
lighted auditorium of the village 
church. 
Rev. Frank Parker has been re- 
membering his many friends with 
kindly greetings from his winter 
residence, Orlando, Florida.

Next Summer. 
From all over New England 
notices are received of changes and 
improvements in summer motel 
properties. Enlargements are being 
begun, and hotels are being reno- 
vated in anticipation of a big sum- 
mer patronage. These facts, in con- 
nection with the great increase in op- 
tomistic sentiment that has develop- 
ed since Christmas, are instances 
that show hotel men that business is 
improving. The public mind is be- 
coming settled, and despite the war 
in Europe, America is just begin- 
ning the most prosperous year it has 
ever experienced. Summer hotel 
business during the coming hot 
spell will be the best ever, so it be- 
hooves the hotel proprietor to get 
his house ready in time. The fact 
that the big Florida hotels opened 
this year with full houses, consider- 
ably earlier than they had planned 
shows that the tourist is on the job, 
and is taking advantage of a neces- 
sity and is ‘‘Seeing America First.’’
