Warm, Ain't It? - Yesterday's spring-like temperature of 52 degrees sent The Herald's Leslie Jones out wandering with his camera. Left to right, are: Three-year-old Louis Carangelo of North End, who took advantage of the weather to try out his new glove; Emile Bernard of Wakefield, a market man for 30 years, sports a straw hat, and on the end is State Policeman John A. Flynn, officer at the fish pier, who usually spends February shivering in the shade of ice-covered fishing trawlers. Old-timers, however, could point back to 1880 when the temperature hit a record of 63 on Feb. 18.
