Groundhog Wasn’t down with double pneumonia yes-
that winter (inion suit—you won’t' need it. Not even
wood chuck dould h$ve seen his shadow all day long.
„ of the Groundhog has a strange and deyious past
cause the governor'o(f the state and a Houston philanthropist
to labeljt variously “un:Texan” and “un-Ameri
can.” Tie governor would object .because the
Groundhog offers a six-week “bonus” of good
weather for not having seen his shadow, and
the state’s chief executive considi
“un-fexun.” The philanthropist wouL r -
the grounds that the legend was “spawned in
Europe.’
; How ever, Groundhogs arc notorious for
their deafness and illiteracy. They can neither,
hear deiogatory remarks nor read them in the
paper. They just go ahead in their own little
orbits seeing or not seeing shadows according
to the weather of the day. { â–  ? 1 L ! r- j
The original Groundhog s ory (discovered in an Italian monastery
during the war—the philanthropist was right) concerned flying' squir
rels and not the ‘weather .at a 1 but grape crops. The story changed
when it made the; ocean trip—salt air, no doubt.
.11,1 Though everything else ih this changing world changes, Grodnd-
j*:.. hogs are constant and dependab.e. Thanksgiving vacillates from Thurs-
il diay to Thursday:‘and National Do-nut Week falls according to Pi
dential whim, bjut Groundhog ( ay is always February 2. That is
cause the Groundhog is an Aniriial of the World and pays no attphtion
to proclamations.; /
Consider the plight of tiie poor Europeans who are without a

their way into steamboat hash; consequently spring yml not know
when to start. n| '"'7" j . if' * T
As The Battalion went lo press high goverpriient circles were
buzzing with a new plan to soften winter’s blow in Europe, and Mar
shall Plan adherents were cor sidering the plight of Groundhogless
Europe, Senator Taft was on record in favtjy of sending Groundhogs
to Europe in lieu‘of American dollars. /
