4th a bad cold,. is custai'it�
wont, to these des..
Usually, in this country,
we idon't really have a
spring.. We leap from the
lingering frigidity of a cold
and wet April, rather similar
to an English winter, into a
hot spell in May that leaves
us dizzy, stunned, stupefied.
And before we, know it,
we're into a humid June,
complete with mosquitoes
and things, including young
ladies, busting out all over.
One hurls one's clumsy
rubber boots into one's
closet. One disrobes from the
massive, blanket -like con-
traption in which one has
hidden one's frozen bones for
the past five months. One
skims one's hat into the top
corner of the closet. And one
comes down with one's an-
nual spring cold, snuffling
and sniffling toward sum-
mer, that apogee of the
Canadian psyche.
Deep in that Canadian
psyche lurks the suspicion
4hat possibly, just possibly,
this year the winter will
never end, and that weshall
go through a summer of
frozen branches etched
against .a gray sky, frozen
ground under foot, no
flowers, no foliage, no hot
summer sun to peel the skin.
At least that's the way I
feel, and I'm an average
Canadian in every way.
Perhaps that's the reason
Canadians .go winging off to

Yet they'll blow, a Fouple of
thousand dollars for a week
in the sun, living and letch-
ing and .drinking and brown-
ing for seven days, and re-
turning to they gray, grim
landscape, they left. It's in-
sane.
But then there's something
insane about all Canadians,
when they feel they are es-
caping, once again, the icy
talons of winter. They go
cuckoo.
Just the other day, I saw
an old lady, wrapped 'to the
-ears so that she could
scarcely move, out raking
leaves, simple because the
sun was shining, and the
calendar, though not the
temperature, told her it was
spring. She should have been
in by the fire.
Before the snow has even
begun to melt; our depart-
ment stores have packed
away their winter stuff and
are flaunting bikinis that
would make a stripper blush.
Boats are hauled out be-
fore the ice on the bay has
begun to melt. Ardent curl-
ers stash their brooms and
dig out the golf clubs, though

Housewives go hairy.
Their well -kept homes, dust-

lives all winter, are sudden-
ly,,as the suspicious spring
sun peers in, "shabby, filthy,
disgusting," and they launch
into an orgy of cleaning and
decorating that drives their
men simultaneously up the
wall and into debt.
Old people behave oddly.
With a sort of glint in their
eye, they realize that they've
licked the old graveyard one
more time and go out and get
terrible cricks in their backs
planting . flowers and gar-
dens.
And young people! Well,
we all know what happens to
them when Canada occa-
sionally enjoys a real, legiti-
mate Spring. They stand on
street corners, after school,
bunting each other like
young calves.
They strip to beach -wear
on days that would freeze the
brains of a brass monkey.
They fall wildly in love with
someone they hadn't even
seen all winter, except as a
sniffling, snuffling stripling
across the aisle in Grade 10
English.
They go wild with the
sheer - de-lirium . of being
young in springtime. The
boys drive too fast and reck-
lessly. The girls have
strange fancies and dream of
sex and summer secrets.
What do aging school
teachers, do in the spring?
They're just as nutty as the
rest. They look with aching
longing to their long sum-
mer, ,wishing their lives
away.
They try to retain their
dignity, while they feel like
kicking up their heels, run -
