Rivers gave the i (Lucy R. Woods) “The twenty-fourth of May Is the Queen’s birthday. If you don't .give us a holiday . We’ll all run away.” r That was a familiar jingle chanted for many years, even ■when Lucy was young in the reigns of >Edward VII and George V. Probably there are school children today who do not know that the “weekend” holiday was in celebration of the birthday of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and her vast Empire beyond the seas, who was bom May 24, 1819. Her reign was the second longest in history, 1837-1901. , Queen Victoria was. widely mourned, reflecting the respect for her courage, and the tact with which, she had recognized the limitations of the crown. In the last decades of her rule, Victoria had come to be regarded as a symbol of Imperial unity. Her reign had witnessed an incredible industrial expansion and material prosperity. Our good Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, is also Queen of Canada. She is a great-great-granddaughter of Victoria;jtsauer arc.

Mr. Wintermeyer is and in deference to* the memory of a great and .beloved Queen, the former Liberal leader off she like her father, grandfather and great-grandfather, desired Ontario. Also visiting the that the birthday celebration or “Empire Day”, as it was later known (now “Victoria Day”) continue to be marked on May 24. In Cjarl’s and Lucy’s young day, the 24th of May meant 'the opening of the swimming season, the making and flying of kites (.remember those long tails with coloured tissue paper tied on ■them?); a game of football for .boys; a fishing trip to stream, river or .lake. (Lucy recalls one 24th of May when it was so warm she insisted on wearing .her white Balkan blouse. . But her ardour for fishing was considerably chilled later on when she went to the pier with her mother and sister. Such a cold wind blew off a patch of ice on the lake that they shivered as they threaded the worms on the hooks. Wihen the perch didn’t oblige by biting immediately, they went home to get warm). ■ , The 24th of May meant rambling in the bush, gathering wild flowers, looking in streams or pools to see how far the tadpoles .had developed into small frogs; spotting various bird nests, gathering water cress or morells. The 24th of May meant many homey simple pleasures in those days. Of course, if boys caught a snake, they might tor­ ment the girls by chasing them with it; or some with spending money might throw small fire crackers, just to show off in front of the girl friend. It was a day, too when those who went bare­ foot discarded shoes and stockings .around home. In Canada it seems that we must have the nearest weekend instead of the actual day. Judging by reports of so many acci­ dents on the highways, it might be a good move to return to the actual date of any special holiday to ibe commemorated. There wouldn’t be so many people driving at excessive rates to go some distance for long weekends. If it came on a Wednesday, it would mean a whole day off instead of a half day. People could enjoy the day at home or an outing to the nearest Provincial Park. And thus the mad race on the highways could be somewhat reduced. And if we aren’t going to have holidays (holy days) on the actual dates, it might be a good move to change the set-up of Dominion statutory holidays, so that the actual number of days off be allowed to all concerned at the discretion of the em­ ployer. • It’s just one of Lucy’s hair-brained idea's for staggering traf­ fic in the mad rush of this age—particularly when the word holiday has come to mean a day .off for .pleasure, instead of time "off to worship God. . Lucy was out in the car for the third time this year on May 13. It was a bright day and cold. She looked at the lilac buds' and remarked: “There won't be lilacs and lily-of-the-valley on the 24th of May this year”. But, with the sudden heat wave her prediction could be wrong. A nostalgic memory of over fifty years ago came to mind. Lucy oan still sniff the air laden with scent of lilacs, lily-of- the-valley, narcissi, etc., in the garden at “Oralagh” the home of Mrs. G.,H. Hewson (how owned by Mrs. J. E. Howard). Mrs Hewson encouraged. Lucy in horticulture, by giving her pansy arid forget-me-not plants which had seeded them­ selves in the gravel walks of those days. It was a beautiful view looking east from the house down the shaded walk to the rockery (it disappeared without Mrs. Howard’s permission when the curve on Highway 21 was built.) In the background were a primeval maple, beech and ■ spruce trees. Some of Lucy’s latest dreams have been of making the pansy bed at- her former home, transplanting, watering and weeding those self-same plants, .given her one 24th of May. It was her project. She digged out the twitch grass and weeds' to make the flower bed at the end of the vegetable garden.Lticy experienced another day o.n Saturday which will live in her memory (but not for fifty years'.); For the first time this spring, she sat Outside arid literally drank in the beauty of the .garden., A few daffodils, early narcissi and late hyacinths' were left; The tulips were bursting into bloom;' The bright yellow blotch of fbrsythia against the pastel Shades of Unfolding foli­ age on shade trees, shrubs and fruit trees stood out sharply* The red and ’yellow polyanthus and English daisies brightened the borders. The bleeding heart was showing, and the odd pansy left by the rabbits. •Lucy was amazed to see the lilies up a good height despite the many frosty nights. The freshly planted Vegetable garden looked so neat arid clean.However, it seemed that there is always some i>eSt to attack human beings as well as vegetation- Over fifty years ago, myriads of mosquitoes attempted to syphon off some.bf Lucy’s life biOdd as' she picked lily-of-ithe-valley under the largo Lin­ den tree at “Oralagh0. ... ...........x And on Saturday, May 21, .1966, a swarm of black flies greeted her under the little maple tree at “The. Hut”. A squirt or two of insect rcpellnnt kept them at bay, both for herself arid a friend who joined her on the lawn. i OIL BURNER SERVICE AND SUMMER CLEANOUTS Make Your Arrangements Nov/ Before The Fall Rush A.
