Autumn Allure Ignored
This is -a time pf year' when
there should be 24 hours of day-
light, when a man should be
able' to keep going 24 hours a
day; and every man should be
on a month's vacation.
Think of that

chortle. Whether it's a bitter
morning crouched in a blind, or
a stealthy, stroll down a sun -fil-
tered wooded road, everything
beckons the hunter. ,
And there's the golf course. A
crisp do, the turf like velvet,
and all" the tourists and women
out of the way at `last. Nothing
to distract. Fat bottoms in Ber-
muda shorts are replaced by
plump black squirrels intent on
filling the larder with acorns. .
And everywhere there's sky
as blue as a virgin's veins, blue -
black water welcoming, butter -
golden sun and blazing bush to
delight the eye and uplift the
soul.
Every orange -blooded. Cana-
dian, from the most venerable
of bird -watchers to the Grade
Four tyke who must make a leaf
collection, yearns to be out in
the most wonderful country in
the world in Uwe/most wonderful
time of the `ear, in themost
wonderful life that any of us
will ever have.
And what are we all ° doing?
We're behaving like typical
Canadians.- We recognize the
beauty, the allure of autumn,
but we do nothing about it.
If we're youngsters, we go to
stupid school. if we're oldsters,
we rake the ruddy leaves. Or we
worry about the silly storm win-
dows. Or we go to idiotic meet-
ings to exchange inanities. Or
we trudge off to some ridiculous
job in order to put food in our
mouths and .oil in the tank. Just
because it's fall and all these
asinine activities. are back with
us.
It's not only unintelligent. It's
unfair; unpatriotic, ttnserupu
laws, un. religious and unbeliev-
able. 1
For years I have ,longed for a
holiday in the fall. And for
years I have been denied it be-
cause of the incredibly insane
social structure in this country,
which decrees that you have
holidays in the summer, or, if
you can afford it, an equivalent
hot -holiday in winter, down
south. -
Who wants holidays In the
'summer? With long evenings
and weekends, we can fish,
swim, boat to our hearts' con
tent.. And with the up -coming
four-day wgrktweek, there'll be.
even more time.
But we're stuck with an ar-
chaic system that seems to be
tied to the school year. On La-
bor Day, we all go back to the
plough, and spend the most glo-
rious weeks of the year at mun-
dane, monotonous chores.
N9t for..us the gold and blue
of autumn clays at our .myriad
lakes, the wild fire of sumach
on the bilis -the honk of wild -
geese flying, "the wood fire's
warmth on a cool evening.
Now, after Labor pay, we don
sober garb and pious mien,
crawl back intmur huts and be-
gin once again the pretence that
life is real and earnest.
It's just as well they're not
planning to make me Minister
of Education. If they did,
there'd be a month's holiday in
June, school through July and
August (until one p.m. every
day) and six week's holiday be-
ginning Labor Day.
