SPICE By Bill Smiley Something rather frighten ing is happening to the steady, reliable, Canadian citizen. I don't know what's behind it, but it's both unnatural and un- nerving. He is beginning to en-: joy the winter! Or, at least, he pretends he is. For generations Canadians approached the winter sensi- bly. When the first snows came they put on their long underwear, a gloomy look, and a longsuffering air, and stayed as close to the fire as possible for the next six months. Win-, ter was something to be lived through and there was no non- sense about enjoying it. But this dour and honest outlook has been completely shattered within the last few years. Every weekend thous- ands of people head out of the cities with their skis and a couple of croaks. Motor clubs hold races through the bliz- zards, over the icy roads Curl- ing rinks are crammed, People are spending weekends at their cottages, tramping through huge drifts to get into them. The other day a friendtold me he had taken his family out for a midwinter picnic, on a Sunday. The temperature was about 8 above. He dug a • hole in the snow, built a fire and heated some stew. "The kids loVed it," he said. No ants, no flies. And almost no fingers on the smallest 'boy, by the time they got him home. * ,H But it's not only the young who are revelling in. the eler merits these days. Everyone is infected. Staff members at our school have organized a hoekey team. You should hear them silting around bragging. They may be short of wind' on the ice but they're not where they don't have the skates on. Most of (tlliem hatven't played hockey for more than 20 years. But they are as rabid as the kcal pee weer. Elderly ,gentlemen who sh. etc d be sitting at home with pipe .and slippers enjoying the peaceful twilight of their Yeats may be found ott any curling rink, dashing up and down as though the devil htmaself woos after them, and sweeping azs though angina pectoris was a tropical fruit. Matronly ladies, who should be at home knitting bootees for their grandchildren, May be seers hurtling doom Berrie near-perpelidlcular slopes, bowl. ing over everything in their paths, from fellow skiers to small trees: Winter carnivals are spread- ing across the land with the speed of bubonic plague. At these, a few good-looking young ladies are named Queen of the Carnival anal are never quite the same again, while thous- ands of yatrrag ladies who know they are equally good-looking are not marred Queen and are never quite the same again. Where is it all going to end? When are we Canadians going to stop runaling around with frozen grins, pretending we just. love our big, white, beautiful Winter? How soon will this hy- sterical nonsense collapse and let us revert to our old, happy misery? * * 1, I, for one, can't stand much more of this jolly, healthy love - affair that we are trying to carry on with that frosty old termagant, Madame de Winter, •who has been planting her icy feet in the small of our warm backs for la these many years, Oh, it's easy enough to be trapped ionto this false 'delight in winter. Each of us has with- in him the tattered remnants of a small child who once wal- lowed ,ti snow with the grunt- ing pleasure of a small pig rolling in wet mud. And it's this buried memory of the joys of winter that gets us hi trouble. The other day, for instance, T was out with my son, who was learning to ski, rather gin- gerly, I was egging hire on to try the steep slope. "Let's see you do it, 131g Shot, if it's so easy," he suggested. There was no wary out. I put on the skis, swallowed once, closed my eyes, and pushed off, my overcoait flying out behind me, Seconds later, Without once having op - Oiled toy eyes, r found myself at the battoin, still on my feet. * * * And this is how we are Mitr- ed. Immediately, 1 was, ready to .buy agia, take lessons, and start crying,"schuss" or "shish" or whatever it is sMere cry as they skim the slopes.

Metal exeltertilent of winter, and load Reading At the Library Suggested by .Clinton's librarian (By MISS xr,VgLY197 HALL) THE TDIirONTQNIANS Pbyllls Brett young "P,syehe" by Phyllis Brett Young is stili very popular a. mong the readers of the' Clinton Public I,,ibrary. It belongs with. the type of book that is readily recommended by one reader to 'axrother. The .author's second book, "The Toroontonians", is different.. 'l'he setting is :obviously a suburb of Toronto, but could easily be on the outskirts of any Canadian city. One reads • novel and a few weeks later cannot recall the names of the characters, ,but Karen, Ricky, Biff, Mildred, Susan and the others are not easily forgotten, One answer to this may be the fact that they are prototypes, to be found in suburban com- munities around any large city, When the story opens Karen reveals that she is much con- cerned about her health and dreads the thought that it is almost time for her regular medical cheek -up, which could relieve her of her 'anxiety. The postman leaves three letters, one of which is to tell her of her appointment to see the doc- tor, one is from Cyr whom she had known while she was at finishing school in Switzerland. She hopes that the letter for her husband will be the oppor- tunity for them to move from Rowanwood. Their two daughters are working in New York. The pleasure in the house which they had worked so hard to renovate themselves, is begin- ning to pall. Karen does not know whether she wants to contemplate suicide or make a clean break. During the next few days while these problems are considered .and are solved in their own ways, Karen car- ries on all the activities of a supposedly happy and contented suburban wife. Most of the background to the characters is supplied by flashbacks, which are usually an abom'unation, but asdone by Miss Young, are inserted so naturally that this reader ac- cepted them. Are the people who reside in such communities happy, con- tented and satisfied with their way of life or do some of them long to return to the more sophisticated, compact life in the city proper? Do some of them desire to try living in a small town, which offers a fresh challenge in work .and friend- ships? THE DEDICATED WWa Gibbs This novel tells the story of an important landmark in the history of medicine -the change from inoculation to vaccination to ward off the dread disease, smallpox. The time is the rise to power, in France, of Napol- eon. Most of the action takes place in London and Gloucester- shire. In London, Jeremy Sterns, owner and publisher of one of the more popular newspapers, is brought into the controversy by his meeting with Anne War- burton and her mother, who have returned to England after years on the conttinentt. The scourge of smallpox is abroad in the land, People who could not prove their immunity by certificate were unable to ob- tain work. Inoculation was expensive, exclusive and dreadful, making the person safe, if he survived, but causing him to be a carrier of the disease. Dr. Jenner in his home village in "the Wilds of Gloster" was working faith- fully to prove that vaccination was more beneficial than in- oculation. He could not receive the necessary backing for fur- ther experiments and progress along that line was at a stand- still. Also concerned with the plot of the story were Dr. Wood- ville, a determined advocate of inoculation and his lovely sis- ter. Events moved to a dra- go charging about in the snow, uttering shrill cries of simu- lated pleasure. 1 have always maintained that Canada in midwinter is fit only for jackrabbits, alco- holics and children under 12. And the sooner we get back to aur age-old feud with Win- ter, and forget this game of footsie we're haying to play with her, the sooner We'll re- gain our old, decent, Canadian, midwinter surliness. matie conclusion when it was decided that the great Napol. eon might be interested in the new idea of vaccknation. "The Dedicated" is a simply told tale that makes intensely interest- ing reading.. CANADIAN ER!(tr1NT James P. Manion. This book is a fine exaaniple of Canadian non -creative writ - lug, in which the author re- -counts through memory or let - tete, some of the activities and events that occurred during his, 25 years in the Canadian For- eign Service, as a. Trade Com- missioner, In his .comments on people and events one notices a restraint and dignity that is not always shown in books of this kind. His conciseness, of thought, his apt choice of words are able - to describe an important situa- tion very briefly, An instance is his description "of the state of 'febrility" in Paris on his re- turn in September 1939, Jaynes Manion was the son of Dr,. Manion, one tine governMent. leader. He received his educe. tion in Fort 'William,,MoGili and the London School of I✓conornics. In 1932 he was posted es assistant 'trade coni ntissioner in Japan, He later served in France and New York and in other countries. Wherever he was stationed he was a shrewd observer of men and events and his reports must have been a tremendous help to the Department.
