Description: The Week for January 30-February 5, 1949. A man sitting on the desk wearing a raincoat and hat looks through a telescope at the river. January prepares to depart; he asks those complaining about the rain if they would prefer snow. February arrives, carrying suitcases. A girl stands up and gets out of a wheelchair; she looks up at a picture of F.D.R. and says she can walk again.

Golden Gloves boxing competition continues. Knights of Columbus hold a formal assembly. The Community Players perform Barretts of Wimpole Street.
