But since the phrases "white- out", "no buses running" and "one-lane traffic" have vanished from my vocabulary, I've changed my mind. It's refreshing to refer to the weather in terms of daffodils, green grass and spring wheat, raking lawns and planting gar- dens, sunshine and even warmth. The temperature is high enough today for working outside in shorts and sleeveless tops. With optimism, I proclaim, "Winter is gone, and good riddance to him!" I even had my snow tires removed. In a book of poetry, I found a selection that aptly describes this time of year. It was written by Edwin John Pratt, a Canadian poet, and is entitled "Putting Winter To Bed". "Old Winter with an angry frown Restationed on his head his crown, And grew more obdurate, As rumours every day had flown From some officials near the throne That he might abdicate... His patience had been sorely tried By a recent blow dealt to his pride, When March, the stripling, dared To jeer at him with callow yells, And shake the hoary icicles From off the royal beard... c The gage accepted, Winter drew First blood, then beat him black and blue With Nordic thrust and swing, Till March at last, the wily fox, Clipped him on the equinox, And bashed him round the ring; And would have clearly had him down, Captured his domain and crown, When three parts through the bout, Had not the king with a trick malign, Cracked him on the nether sign, And March was counted out. So now, with an Alaskan ire, He donned in full his white attire, Lord of the Polar waste,.. And yet before the week was passed, Neuralgic headaches thick and fast Were blinding him with tears; Despite the boast, he needed rest To stop that panting in his breast, That buzzing in his ears... He laid his head against a stump, One arm inclined upon a clump Of glaciated boulders; The other held his side—he had Pleuritic pains and very bad Rheumatic hips and shoulders... A sorry sight indeed he lay, A god-like being in decay... The day that April found him... With one glace at his swollen feet, Her diagnosis was complete, That dropsy had set in... `0 shame, that March should thus surprise him, Without a thought to acclimatize him Towards a mellow age; I know another way benign To lead him through an anodyne In his hermitage! Then with a bath of rain and sleet, She took the chilblains from his feet With tender lubrication; She poulticed out the angry spots, The kinks and cramps and spinal knots, And all discoloration.„ It took three days to get his throat Clear of that wheezy guttural note, His brain to vaporize; She conjured him at last to rest; Folded his hands across his breast And sealed up both his eyes... With one thing more, her task was done— Something she found hid from the sun Within a valley low; `Just what he needs, dawn fresh and white— The north wind brought it over-night — A counterpane of snow... Then taking on a mood austere, Kneeling, she whispered in his ear, A world of discipline... `For eight months now without demure, You give your promise not to stir, And not to roar or wail, Or send your north wind with its snow, Or yet the east whose vapours blow Their shuddering sleet and hail. So help you then for evermore If you so much as cough or snore, My seven younger sisters, Who follow after me in turn, Are under strict command to burn Your body up with blisters... But If you keep this honest vow, I pledge their virtue, here and now,. To rouse you in December; • Then you may come on Christ- mas Day With furs and bells, reindeer and sleigh— But, hand on heart—remember!" in songs they would like to be included in the new Institute song book was made.
