If it were fall, of course, and the temperature were the same, we'd be saying : "By George! Nippy enough ain't it. Looks like winter's not far off." But at this time of year, the . weather is more a state of mind than a matter of temperature, and all across the land Canadians go slightly hysterical with the jubilant certainty that once more they, have made it throughthat masochist's delight—a-Canadii'an winter. With the first relaxing of those icy tentacles, we go a bit hay- wire. Rubbers are kicked into a cornea. sweaters and scarves e - hurled into closets. Babes are plunged into prams. And we all come down with a spring cold that is only slightly worse than the vicious one we nursed all winter. Typical example. This morning was garbage day. Just because the sun was shining and it wasn't snowing, I nipped out in my py- jamas and slippers to deposit the plastic bags. It was a trifle nippy, but the sun was shining and there was that ineluctable essence in the air. I winked at a sexy squirrel in the cedar trere. I made a V -for - Victory Sign at Old Sol. I hallooed at a beautiful crow. I stopped to stroke the cat, who was lying in the mud, basking. And I've been sneezing and blowing ever since. No matter. Winter is over.

As you know, if you are keeping up with the social news, we "took up" cross-country skiing this spring. Most people take up sports during the season, but we don't operate that way. As I re- call, we took up golf in the fall, after the leaves had begun' to tumble. Anyway, we took to skiing like a cat takes to nip, and in no time we were arguing about what kind of wax to use (we have two kinds, red and black) and clumping around in our boots like real skiers. Our timing 'las perfect. On what turned out to be the last day of skiing for the season, we took a shot ata hill. Or maybe it was the other way around. It was a long, straight hill: no trees, no rocks, nothing that a capable six-year-old couldn't handle with both hands in his pockets. We were certainly polite enough. It was: "You go first, you're the man." And: "No, no, dear. Ladies first, you know." • As usual, I was out -manoeu- vred. I steeled myself with recol- lections of driving a bicycle head- on into a cow during an English black -out, of diving into a hell- fire of German anti-aircraft fire. I took off. One thing I dislike about skiing is that there are no. brakes: You can't even drag your feet. Well, sir, the only way I can describe my descent of that slope is hell-bent. Squatting like a kan- 4. -,Crossroads—Atpril 17 garoo in lobo 'Wes rolling, g, I went down there at what 1 reckon was about 140 m . And 1 made it. No isaomluious tumble. No omits.r ty feet from the end of t h , all danger behind, I straightened up, waved one ski -pole nonchalantly and turned my head to see if The Chicken was impressed. Just then the snow, with unbe- lievable crust, rose up and smote me a mighty smite o i the bead, My cap flew off. I kneW I wasn't ,in hell, but I sure felt bent. I lay there, quietly uttering words I haven't heard since my Dad used to go down and beat the coal fur- nace with a shovel. I heard a scream. "At least she knows I'm dying," I thought bit- terly. "Boy, is she going :'to be sorry for some of the things she said to me, over the years." Then I heard another scream "Bill, get out of the way! I'm going to run over you!" Wrenching my broken neck. around, I looked uphill. There was a dark figure flying toward me. It looked like a witch, but it was riding two broomsticks, in- stead of one. Then the broom- sticks began' to part, in what seemed slow motion, and I knew the witch was going to split right up the middle miles$ -the night- mare ended. It did. I woke up. The witch was dead. One broomstick pointed straight in the air. The other was pointed back up the hill. There' was silence. Then: "Are you all right?" And: "I don't know. Are you?" And: "I dunno. I think I'm gonna cry." (That was me). Boy, am I glad it's spring, ,and there's no more skiing until De- cember. But skiing certainly tones- you up. I can now touch my toes with no problem at all. I use a yard- stick. And my wife can knit like a demon with one hand. She got good at it while her left arm was in a sling. YOUR HANDWRITING TELLS Firm 'i' dots show principle By DOROTHY ST. JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst • Dear Dorothy: I am -vi a -principal end teacher in an elementary school, a choral director, a guitar teacher, belong to sev- eral clubs, work for the city, teach night school, and, in general, I am very active. I am often criticized for this be= cause people can't usually keep up. I can handle a lot of things at once, and I love do- ing it. What do you think? J.- C. Dear J. C.: • Like an architect, the mind affects the total personality design. Your thirst for knowl- edge will not be quenched, seen in the inverted v forma- tions of the m and n, which stand tall on the line of writ- ing. So high are you on the. IQ scale that the average person finds it nearly impossible to keep in step with you, mental- ly. Poise and judgment are your personality guides, seen in your vertical writing. Those who do not know you well (and some who do) view yoir with an almost fearful re- spect. The firm high t, crossings make almost any goal possible, and the length of the crossing adds the spice which makes your activities so palatable. You are a woman of princi- ple. You believe in • yourself and your-eonivictions; seen in the firm round i dots. You are straightforward and almost "straight-laced" in your ap- proach to life and people. While your. highly analytical mind, seen in the consistent v formations along the line, keeps you testing and proving facts for accuracy, it also makes you quite critical of those less knowledgeable than you. And, with the too emotional person you can't cape. So capable are you that you even frighten yourself, once in a while, with your power of achievement, and you recog- nize a need to apply the "brakes" of caution, seen in the straight line extension at the end of the line of writing. As you keep your steady pace in maintaining success, don't forget to stay in the human "race." As you spread. your power of accomplish- ment, also „spread your feminine powers of love, sym- pathy and understanding. In so doing, you will not only be a successful woman, but a woman who knows how to win. IA mat a Copy for CreaspPads fieds must be received by 6 poi._ Wednesday of week p$, topw Horatian.
