A brief fling
He stands alone,, looking
forlorn. He knows his time in
his snowy domain is.running

Just twenty-four hours
earlier tie cut a handsome
figure on the front lawn of 222
Maple Street. It_ seemed as
though all the kids in the
neighbourhood had worked on
him. When they finished, they
stood back and admired him.
He could tell by their grins
they were pleased.
put a pair of bright green
muffs where his -ears should
have been.
A brown fedora was. cocked
jauntily on his head, and a red
woollen scarf was wound
round his neck.
Someone stuck a corn cob
pipe in his mouth and a broom
handle in the ground beside
him. The broom handle look-
ed like a fine walking cane.
He stood straight and pro-

Odds 'n ends
By Elaine Townshend
His figure was well round-
ed; his coat was sparkling
white, and chunks of shiny
black coal made four buttons
in the front. Coal was hard to
come by these days, but some
enterprising youngster found
enough.
Someone raided . their
mother's sewing basket and
came up with two huge blue
buttons for his eyes. A wizen-
ed carrot made a perfectly
good nose, and a piece of red
plastic - probably from some
broken toy - made his mouth.
He didn't have any ears, but
it didn't matter. A little girl

all afternoon. One by one the
kids wandered off, but he
could still feel the admiring
glances of people as they
drove by.
During the night, the street
light illuminated him- He
thought of it as his spot light.
The frosty night froze him
solid, and for awhile, he had
hopes of lasting a long time.
The morning sky was cl udy,
but he could feel the
temperature slowly rising.
Icicles began dripping from
the eaves of the house..Snow
began slipping away. He
could see muddy patches on
the lawn, and he could feel.
himself slipping, too.
The kids seemed to sense
,the inevitable as they walked
past him on their way back to
school after lunch.
The afternoon went quickly
by. His walking stick fell
over, and there was no one to
pick it up for him. One of his
buttons dropped off, and his
pipe hung at a dangerous
angle. His coat began to look
gray.
His fedora sagged to the
back of his head. One her way
home from school, a little girl
tried to replace the hat, but it
wouldn't stay.
Ile felt half his original size,
and he sensed that he was
leaning dangerously to the
right. A cold night would give
him a reprieve, but he knew
it would only be temporary.
His brief fling would soon
be over, and he would become
just another casualty of the
.mild winter.
