Different people react to
winter in different ways.
Since winter took us into its
grasp, I’ve noticed at least
four attitudes.
Some people elude
winter’s hassles by fleeing
to the sunny south as soon as
possible after the first
snowflake falls.
The annual migration
grows each year as more
and more couples, especial
ly retired ones, discover it is
practical, moneywise and
healthwise, to board up their
Odds 'n ends
The many attitudes on winter
snow deepens.
A good motto for them
might be the advice that was
given to me the other day:
"Get a summer catalogue,
look at the pretty pictures
and keep thinking that spr
ing will be here any day.” It
works, if you can make
yourself believe it.
Two other reactions to
winter are depicted on a
television commercial to
promote exercise.
A family is shown frolic-
mg in the snow on skiis,
skates and toboggans. They
are rosy-cheeked, healthy-
looking,' smiling Canadians
who describe winter as
“Terrific!” and "A great
excuse to get outdoors! ”
Are they the true
Canadians? Maybe. Judging
by the growing popularity of
cross-country skiing, more
houses m Canada, escape
from the fuel bills and move
toFloridafor a few months.
If they have already
visited al! the tourist attrac
tions and are content to stay
in one place, it is ah
economical and comfortable
way to spend the winter.
Other Canadians dislike
winter, but for one reason or
another they can’t avoid it:
instead they tolerate it.
They resign themselves to
at least four months of
shovelling snow and scrap
ing windshields in the mor
ning and listening to the
wind howl at night. They try
to make the best of a' bad
situation by grinning
through gritted teeth and by
keeping the swear word's
low, but the gritting and
swearing increases in
volume and intensity as the
people are now taking ad
vantage of Canada’s natural
and bountiful blessings of
snow-covered fields and
woods - perfect for cross
countryskiing..
They stress the positive
aspects of the season, such
as participation in winter
sports and fun, a chance to
breathe fresh invigorating
air and an abundance of
beautiful scenery.
They probably have the
best attitude, and for them,
winter will pass quickly
because they are enjoying it.
Not everyone shares their
enthusiasm, though. The
other person in the TV com-
mercial resembles the
Scrooge of Christmas.
He’s a dumpy-looking
fellow slouched in an easy
chair, frowning and growl
ing, "Winter, it’s awful!”

"Winter, I hate it!” If he
snapped, "Bah. humbug!” I
wouldn’t be at all surprised.
When he thinks of winter,
he sees only a car buried in
snow, hears only a cold
motor that won’t start and
feels only a drippy nose,
numb fingers and an aching
back.
Whether or not we want to
admit it. he, too, is a
representative of the true
Canadian.
The old saying is correct:
"It takes all kinds of people
to make the world go
round”. And it takes all
kinds of people to handle a
Canadian winter. Some love
it, others hate it, but most
tolerate it with varying
degrees of success.
Regardless of how any of
us feel about winter, it
lasts for a certain length of
lime over which we have no
control. In other words, it’s
here and we might as well
try to enjoy it.
