He didn't make it nearly strong enough, he should have said, "heap, heap bad winter", The storm did not quite arrive on schedule and I felt not a little disappointed that I had made such a quick decision to return home. I had planned to write a little piece about the ceremony that would take place in Ottawa when the official announcement of the arrival of a new Royal child was made. But, instead; I was setting the thermostat, warming milk for our senior citizen and doing the several prosaic chores one under- takes before retiring. "The wind she blow lac hurri- cane . . , . " Along about mid- night this old habitant poem began singing through my brain as a sudden gale rattled at the win- dows and pried the shingles on the roof just high enough to let in a constant. drift of snow. This set- tled in the attic and finally found its way along a natural outlet, the t ceiling. While I ran around with pots and pans trying to catch the drops that were now playing a constant tattoo on rugs and tiles, I decid- ed I was a smart gal after all. I might not be able to play the role of reporter as I had anticipated, but at least I was keeping a date with a drip.

I felt a rather affectiOnate. anticipation of this birth, for hadn't the babe travelled the length and breadth of Canada in his metlier's womb a few months ago? It didn't take too much imagination for me to recall the blistering heat of last July, when Queen Elizabeth bore up so nobly in her secret early pregnancy, while we of the press wilted and complained about the weather in our quarters aboard the air conditioned Royal train. It seems to me typically Canadian, that the boom-boom of twenty-one guns announcing the birth of the second prince was delayed twenty- four hours because of a blizzard. of friends and relations. until we couldn't see our 15-foot cedar hed- ge.

"Why don't you wait, Fred will dig you out when he gets our driveway cleared." Why was I working so hard? I couldn't go anywhere when I was free until the drifts were bulldozed away. .
