Year Ideas
By Shirley Keller
It may have been spring by
the calendar since March 21,
but for the majority of Cana.
dians, it will not officially =-
rive until this weekend.
Somehow egester ,aernabolizese
spring in the world, I suppose
it is natural because the two
go hand in hand in expressing
-hope and a new beginning.
With Easter comes school
holidays, new pastel, light-
weight clothes, thoughts of
spring seeding for the farmers,
housecleaning for the ladies,
lawn raking, gatden making . .
. . . .
and a host of other Warm
weather adventures.
Kiddies are anxiously await-
ing the week-long vacation.-
This year it comes later than
usual making them just that
much More keen and full of
just that much more energy to
derribfound mother.
And Easter Sunday's parade
of finery will find Milady's' fig-
ure flaws camouflaged, the male
shoulders boasting new width

placed padding, little girl's pink
and white ribbon decked hats
sprinkled here and there among
the congregation of our eteurch-
es and bouncey boys hdta fate
with chalking bow ties and
snapping susperaler4'.
Readying the seed drill for
grain planting is often the one
thing in the whole operation
that brings! forbidden words to
'the lips of farmers. No matter
how carefully the machine is
°leaned in the fall, it is nearly
always seized in the spring. It
requires several tins of pene-
trading oil and a few dollars
worth of parts before the thing
is mobile.
The little woman who hasn't
