This Week’s Cover
- Well, it has snowed on a cover again. Seems just a little while ago that we got rid of the snow on last winter’s covers. Tempus, as the Latins said, certainly fugit. It was as well summer while it lasted—only rained on two of our covers. It was starting to rain on a third, but let’s assume that after everybody in the picture moved indoors, the storm passed around and unloaded two miles away on a clambake. Actually, this week’s cover snow has been preserved in a cold file since early last winter. John Clymer was painting leaves on those trees, and chlorophyll-colored grass, when he noticed white stuff falling outside the window. So he put coats on the kids and painted December. Kids walk on fences in any season, for some reason.
