No matter what... spring is winning the battle
A few mornings ago when I left the
house. it was easy to believe that
spring was on the way. There was a
certain softness in the breeze, and
that not quite describable change in
the smell of the air. Down in the
valley behind our place, the cardinals
were calling to each other amid the
raucous cries of the crows. A flock of
wax wings flew into the ash tree to
feast on some left over berries. Two
robins swung and . chirped on the
bough of the white birch. Oh. yes, it
was easy to believe in spring that
morning.
Later, shut-in
.• er ! took a friend for a
drive, and although the snow was still
piled along the roads, the furrows of
ploughed ground were breaking forth
in the fields. "And look," she exclaim-
ed, "see how the colour of the bush is
changing ... for sure the sap is
running."
We drove into the village of Zurich,
and there we saw two of the surest
signs of spring. The first was a group
of madcap boys riding bicycles that
had lain in garages all winter. With
great abandon they rode and splash-
ed through .puddles left by melting
snow, and one young buck feeling his
oats and peddling like • lightning
drove his bike into a two foot
snowbank. To his surprise and our's,
the hard drift held firm and sent him
sailing over the handlebars. Picking
himself up with a wide grin, he wav-
ed to us triumphantly, because he
knew that even though that snowbank
had duped him, its days were
numbered, that he and his bike would
soon rule again the sidewalks and
roads.
We stopped in front of the Tasty Nu
Bakery, and here was the best harb-
inger of all ... a tiny girl skipping. On
a patch of clear sidewalk, between
two small drifts; she jumped the rope
despite the clumsy plop -plop of her
heavy winter boots., having shed her
warm coat for a thin sweater, she still
clung to the boots and the thick
woolen toque pulled down over her
ears. Because the sixth sense of
childhood that told her spring was

taking over also warned her that
winter was not quite ready to give
way.
The coming of spring is always a
live. The ice, which often stretches
across the breadth of the lake in
January, begins to crack up in late
February and March. One morning,

battle. Winter, which holds us in its
rule, does not give up the territory
capriciously, and nowhere, it seems
to me, is the fight more visible than
on the shores of Lake Huron where we
by Gwyn Whilsmith
we will look out and see a large patch
of dark, gray water; the next, it will
be taken over by ice again. And so it
goes for weeks, until. as the sun grows
stronger, and winds, blowing hard
from the south-west, churn up huge
black waves to do battle with the last
ramparts of winter ice piled high on
the beach. It's a combat that's fierce
and without mercy; spring always
wins, beating down the mountains of
snow and replacing the rough ice with
water that is azure blue and smooth:
Even as I look. from my window, to-
day, the battle is on. -
Yesterday, someone, sick of winter,
asked plaintively, "Do you think
spring will ever come?" "Of course,"
I answered confidently, "It's already
winning the war." That was easy to
say when the sun was shining, the
breeze was Tight and a flock of geese
migrating overhead. But today, with
winds charging in with a mad burst
of snow that has closed schools and
obscured the view of my neighbour's
house, it doesn't seem quite so
believable.
Still, a few minutes ago when I went
to get onions for our dinner's stew, the
red mesh bag was covered with green
shoots sticking out triumphantly in
every direction. So, the shoots, the
birds, the children and the lake all tell
me it's only a matter of time before •
the battle is won, and spring is entren-
ched again.

An Inspector Calls
J.B. Priestley's unusual
psychological thriller An Inspector
Calls, The Grand Theatre Company's
final play of the 84/85 Season, opens
on March 27 at 8:00 p.m. Starring
Tony Van Bridge as the mysterious
Inspector Goole with Betty Leighton,
Richard Curnock, Ian Deakin, Mary
Haney and Jeremy Henson, this
riveting "whodunit" will run until
April 13. Award-winning Derek
Goldby will direct the production.
An Inspector Calls was first produc-
ed in the spring of 1946 at London's
celebrated Old Vic Theatre. It was
written during the middle years of
J.B. Priestley's long and prolific
career, which produced such
•r •
Good Companions, Lost Empires and
The Image of Men and the ambitious
survey, Literature and Western Man.
A recurring theme in many of
Priestley's works is time and its
many -layered fascinations and
theories. An Inspector Calls is
perhaps his most celebrated example.
Who is the mysterious Inspector
Goole and for what reason has he sud-
denly appeared in the stately 1912 din-
ing room of the prosperous Birling
family? Is her really a police inspec-
tor, investigating the death of an ap-
parently unknown girl once employed
by Arthur Birling, or is he someone
else whose motives are far remov-
ed from those of law enforcement? To
unravel this su' • rnaturaL`
is o enjoy a mystery -lovers'
theatrical masterpiece.
