COLD DA.Y IN AUGUST
en a young woman learned
that she was secondchoice for the
evening, that her .escort sought an
engagement withanother girl for
the , evening and failed, then had
asked the young woman, she tell&
him it would be "a cold day in
August" when -she went out with
him again. •And that day has nev-
er come. A number of years ago,
that saying about a cold day in
August waS quite a statement.
But the temperature depends up-
on vvitere you are. High on the
summit of a snow-covered moim-
tain, •in the southern part of the
world, at the Poles,. and even in.
an aix=conditioned building,-, it might
be a cold' day in August,
So we are reminded that much.
depends upon our relation• toward
•
eat -of -August and -the -cold -of -San -
nary. As the heat of August can
• be overcome by air-conditioning,
and the cold of January:4Y .central
heating, much can be deterthined,
by our attitude toward a- given
thing. Whether an elephant was
like a rope or a tree to blind Men;
- according to an Ainerican poet, de-
• pends upon whether they had hold
of his tail or his, leg. Your attitilde

* * *
I grew up in a small town that
was just beginning to find its po-
tential as a tourist 'town. Quite
a few. American cars were evident
in July and August. Everybody,
thought the tourist business was a
good thing and stemething should
be done about it. -4 few people with
large houses -and smill incomes, in-
cluding my mother, put up "Tour-
ist Accommodation' signs an d
were not only flabbergasted but
delighted,, to rent huge, ininiaeu-
late bedrooms for as inuch as $2
a night. t•
•
But on the whole, the tourist
huSiness was just a little extra
-gravy, and the town drowsed
through the summer, the merch-
ants leaning, in their cool doorways,
waiting for '6 o'clock to come, so
they could elose up„and htiStle off
to the ball park after, gulping
their supper.
*
What a difference from the
slarri-bam-thank-you-mam atritos-
•phere of the modern tourist town!
*
Today, the tourist business is
not only a little extra gravy, It
is the crearn in the coffee, the ic-
ing on the cake, the cheese with
the -apple pie and any other gar-
nishing you care to nauseate your?
self with irnaginine'lt is the dif-
ference between survival of the fit-
test and getting along nicely, thank
you, in the business world.
June, they are .as welcome as the
first flow,ers. They _add color, ex-'
”eiteinent,,, a l'OuCh-'of the outside;
-world, with their different accents -
and different clothes.' • •
They are watinly welcomed, and
not just •for tbeir -financial con-
tribution. Mogi of them are very
nice, friendly people, and its a
pleasure• to greet the' repeaters
each Year, on their first trip to the

abut the winter we've spent, and
like as not, especially if' they're
Americans, they'll urge: "Now you
be sure 'and come Up to the cet-
tage and see us this slimmer. W'11
have a cold one together,"
For the 'grocers, the hardwares,
the drug store, the -tourist season
is a mi turd of exhilaration and ex-
haustion. The harmonic:Ms tune of
the cash' register is offset by the
digcOrclant scream of achinzfeet.
It is bonanza for the skilled men
of the toWn and district The elec-
trieians and carpenters, fhe paint-
ers and plumbers, who had a dim
winter, wondering where the next
lob wan coming -from, are now
• courted, flattered and sought after
like expensive courtesans, .1
matic-mission--but became firm
friends. An iSland ati the northern
end of the' Strait of Georgia, be-
tween Vancouver Island and the
Mainland, is still called Quadra Is-
land. Quadra died in 1794, probab-
ly in San 'Bias, Mexico. ,
They start to come In a trickle
that quickly bedtimes a• _stream,
then an avalanche: The pace quick-

with them. By. mid-July, the whole
town is throbbing with this heady
addition to its lifestream. You
can't find 'a. place to park, shop-
ping takes three time as- long,
and you can scarcely cross the
street because* of the cOnstant
stream of cars crawling through.

About this time, the tourist town
has almost lostits identity and
individuality. Merchants and, re-

As August nears its end, and

there is a little sadness m the air,
as the tourist season nears itS
end, and the new and old friends
among the carnpers are seen head-
ing outof town with' their' sun -
blackened children children and their piled -
high cars.- '
But when Labour Day. arrives,
and theavalanche slows to Y a
trickle' the town becomes a town
again, not just a shopping centre.
The citizens slow down, stretch

have forgotten the scramble and
