Fields. At least one more snow fall this year was confidently predicted by Jo- seph J. Wields as he was setting out a fine bed of pansies at the court house ‘n front of the police station window. Mr. Fields has had pansies in ‘this bed for years and declares that it has nev- er f\iled to snow each year after they have heen set out. Another reason to expect snow. according to Mr. Fields is that the magnolia tree at the Buck- ingham Memorial is in bloom. and it is the regulat thing to have the blos- soms snowed on. Pansies-are very scarce in Norwich this year so that Mr. Fields has set out only ene bed instead of two. The flower bed in front of the common pleas court office window has been seeded down and will not be used for plants this year.
