V ~ With 193 cases of flu and four of pneumonia reported to the state board of health last Saturday, Coos county led by a good margin all the rest if the state. It’s not a record to be proud of, but is cited as an illustration of how the cold weather affects the people here who are more accustomed to the milder climate of the coast. was shorn of everything but balmy skies and'spring sunshine continuous throughout the winter. But Ashland ia like nearly every other place in this respect. It has unusual climate at times. And that is what we h«ve had tor four or five weeks at a steady stretch. The “unusual” is the cold and fog. Many days the fog hugs the ground all day long and the ice on the north side of a building stays all day. Then days like,, today the fog lifts toward noon and the sunshine is bright but with little heat. One of those foggy days a man at the depot told me: “This fog comes from Medford. When the wind changes we will not have fog.” Thai is a fair sample of relief, for much of our troubles whether fog or otherwise, when the wind changes. But how about those who /Sing to get what we don’t want when the winds changes. When any place makes a specialty of' climafo the chances • are that a whole lot of time will have to be put in apologizing for the stuff the weath erman handed out. The climate of any and every place is a good climate. Some are mori delightful to experi ence than others, for every place has its advantages and disadvantages. That seemed to hold true even in the garden of Eden..., Springtime will soon be here and we will forget we had a winter. It is a nice winter any way. Sunday morn ing when we were going to church (for the first time in several weeks), I said good morning to a men who was sweeping the sidewalk in front of the theatre and added, “It ia a nice morning.”,,,,He laughed and-said,'"I guess it is behind the fog.” It is something for which we may be truly thankful that a man like Sam A. Koser is the head of the Bud get program of the State. For those who want to get new buildings in or der to high hat personal ambitions, do not get any sympathy from Sam Kozer, who knows it is time for Ore gon to pay debts, instead of trying to cut more splurge'.
