Call it Blawday. Call it Coldday.
Call it Heritage day. Call it any-
thing but let's get,it proclaimed as
soon as possible.
Nothing is longer than the stretch
from January 1, a holiday, to the
next holiday in Canada's list of stat-
utory days off. Good Friday comes
too late in the year ( and I have al-
ways wondered t'hy it was called
Good Friday when it marks the cru-
cifixion.) From January to Easter is
a painful length of time, especially
in Canada.
Are you not sick, sore and tired of
cold mornings, cars that won't start,
flu, colds, chillblancs and winds
that whistle piercingly through all
your clothing?
And yes, I know, this has not
been a bad winter when compared
with other Canadian winters of
years gone by. I really do not need a
comparison. I am old enough to re-
member those winters, too, when
the drifts were higher than hydro
poles and roads were one way for
miles. I can remember hitch -hiking
to my home town to see my best
girl in the winter of 1948 when the
snow was actually touching the hy-
dro wires.
You can give me that old crap
about the four seasons being won-
derful and healthy and that winter
makes Canadians hardy but 1 am
not about to buy it anymore.
I want to go on record here and
now: I hate winter.
I used to enjoy skating. I learned
to skate on a millpond using frozen
horsebuns as a hockey puck. At one
time, 1 even liked a bit of downhill
skiing until a rock and tree appeared
on a hill where a rock and a tree
should not have appeared and I gave
up downhill skiing.
I still like to go cross-country
skiing every now and then but I
could quite willingly forego this
fading pleasure if February got can-
celled.
I have proposed -- and been
laughed at -- that all of Canada
should be closed for the month of
February and all inhabitants be
sent south for one month. The
savings in fuel and energy would
probably be enough to pay for the
excursion.
I would put the proposal to the
house of Commons but 1 do not
seem to get enough support.
Therefore, 1 want it known that
we need another holiday and we
need it the third week of February
and we need it now.
Pierre Berton, one of Canada's
most famous writers and a nation-
alist if there ever was one, has
suggested a February holiday to be
called Heritage Day where all of us
could celebrate our ancestry, when
we'could tell each other what a
wonderful country we live in.
I'm behind the idea. We need
something to break the monotony
of one cold day after another. We
need a Monday when we can set

May 24; Civic Holiday, Labor

February. A day off is needed right

Better still:.take a Monday off
and organize a demonstration to

On second thought, just write

It will probably be too cold to
