ago accepted the fact that it is a
land of extremes and I've learned
to ride my hunches about weather
conditions. Stile.' should like to
have a serious talk with that In-
dian who was purported to have
caught a jack rabbit last fall,
fluffed his hide the wrong way
and predicted "heap bad winter
ahead". 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.
All the next day the storm tore
at the four corners of the house
and the few little snowflakes
that were caught early in the
branches of the apple tree, soon
gathered unto themselves millions
Old Man Winter blew up a
storm that blocked our noad'with
15-foot drifts and promised to
make meteorological history. The
day before I had heeded a radio
message forecasting the storm and
quickly left Ottawa by train for
home. My woman's intuition lit
up like a beacon, though I was
disappointed I would not be in the
capital city when guns boomed the
salute to the new heir, once ye-
moved, to Britain's throne. 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-

voice of a neighbour came to me
