February 16

1951: "I almost got started to work this monring; unfortunately the roads and walks are so terribly slippery that very few folks are out. I orderde retail establishments belonging to Chamber of Commerce Retail Division to close at 5 P.M. if they so wish.  They did and many others also closed." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954: "To Kiwanis luncheon. We are in for a long program. Harry Krippner shows an hour long movie film entitled "Safety Sam." Very interesting and educational about driving safely. Do not feel well at all this afternoon. I have also developed a bad head cold. To "Mother of Perpetual Help Devotion" tonite, all by myself.  "Delicious Foods Luncheonette" at 15 Algoma Blvd is again in new hands, taken over by Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Campbell. Art Stein and Russell Morey have been operating it. It was "Mrs. Clark's Tea Room" years ago." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
