• support the committee's
proposals and will attempt in

committee attempted to present
its proposals to the board of the
Ontario Farmer's Union but was
informed that the board did not
have sufficient time to hear the
proposals."

on the art reproduction, all
wording has been included in a

Suzor-Cote, an
internationally recognized
'painter and sculptor, was born at
Arthabaska, Quebec, on April 6,
1869. Endowed . with an
excellent baritone voice he had
early leanings to a musical
career; a throat ailment
terminated this ambition and his
subsequent achievements in the
artistic field ended in
international recognition- of his
name. He is reputed to be one of
6, the first native-born Canadians
whose works, presumably as a
result of associations with
painters during European travels,
were directly influenced by the
Old World's Impressionism of
the.,186..0_s.

Isn't it a delirious feeling,
about this 'time of year to wake
up in daylight, and 'get home
from work before dark?
It begins to restore one's
faith` in the scientists' claim
that the earth is round, and
moves in orbit about the sun.
Or is it the other way 'round?'
For about three months, any,
winter, I'd jour the Flat -Earth
Society, and agree with practi-
cally anybody that the sun is al,
legend, a figment of last sum-
mer's imagination.
Don't know why I'm• in such
a jolly mood today: Perhaps it
is that we've had three straight
days of sunshine. Freeze the
brains of a brass money, but
sunny.

Spring is on its way. I can
tell. The snowbank pushed up
beside my garage has dwindled
from 22 feet to 16. And two
teachers smiled at each other
in the staff roozfNthis week.
It's not such a bad old world
after all. Nobody has axed a
computer or lynched a univer-
sity president this week - yet.
My daughter passed two' tests
in school. I got the garbage out
without cursing ,once.
My wife and daughter have
stopped fighting (they gang up
on me, instead). My bursitis is

My son is making his mark
in the, world ---- of dining -
rooms. Some nights he makes
as much as $35. And some
nights $5. And he's making
something else; noises, vague
but audible, about going back
to school.
My daughter came home
from school today smiling, in-
stead of scowling. Her mother
asked her what she was smil-
ing at, as she came in. "The
door," poker-faced. Things are
definitely on the upswing
around here.
