Ircan't be!
is..it..a.. nightmare? -
It's a 'mirage, an illusion, a trick of the
imagination. It's sleight of hand by some
invisible magician.
It's fake, it's phony. It can's be real. It
can't be what it appears to be. It just can't
be.
But it is.
Where did it come from? How did it get
here so fast? One day there was no sign of
it; next day • boom - there it was right in
front of us.
It's getting closer all the time, large as
life, and there isn't a thing we can do about
it. We can't stop it, and we can't run away
from it.
We can't walk around it; we can't climb
over it; we can't burrow undertit. If we hide
our heads in the sand dice ostriches, it'll
roll right over us.
It's in plain view now, by 'day and. by
night. We can taste it, see it and even
sniellitin place Eike the orchard. Signs of it
seem to be everywhere we go.
We can hear it in the wind and feel it in
the idr; we can sense it in our bones.
We am see it in other people's eyes. It
caught everyone by surprise, as it does
every year, but now everyone seems to
know.
There it is, straight ahead in our path so
close we can almost touch it.
We could scream and yell and make a lot
cf noise, but that wouldn't scare it off. We
could complain and threaten. but that
never worked before. We could make it feel
unwanted, but it always come 4 anyway.
We could explain that we're just not
ready and beg for a little more time, but it
-neverlistens.-No; talking would-be a -waste -
of time.
It's coining closer. in just a few more
days, it will take over completely. It's
inevitable.
We can't ignore it nor avoid it. We can't
run away from it; we might as well stand
our ground and face it. There's no sense
fighting it.
We can't beat it, and we certainly can't
change it.
We might as well accept it.
It's inevitable that it will come and it will
stay for its allotted time. Then something
will roll along to take its place. All We can
do is 'row with the flow.'
It's a system that's been in effect for a
long, long time. YV-ho are we to question it?
Heck, we might even find something to
enjoy in it!
One of the reasons it often seems
unwelcome is because it catches us off
guard each year, even though we know its
coming elevenmonths in advance.
We're so wrapped up in summer things
we just forget summer has to end and it has
to begin.
it's the signal of th2,0 beginning and
ending of many things - end of vacations,
end . of summer; beginning of' school,
beginning of autumn; prelude to winter.
That's why it's a joy to some people and a
A drag to others.
In spite of its promise of fall colours and
refreshing breezes, it's met with mixed
emotions, and it takes us by surprise again.
You'll be working in your garden some
evening soon and feel a chilly tap on our
shoulder. It can't be. But it is.

processed in a water bath

tomato varieties and ripeness
change the acidity, it • is
recommended that it be
added to all home canned
tomatoes. The boiling water
bath processing time is to
ensure that all of the product
has been thoroughty heated,
excess air is driven out and a
good vacuum seal is created

product. Don't take chances.

A most popular section of the park is say, "I tried", and when he hears a
usually the refreshment booth. Many little familiar "Good try," his grin returns, and
ones come to this protective setting with
coins tightly clutched in grubby fists, or
janjling in back pockets, or occasionally in
very fancy beaded purses. Even if they do
not know the name of the treat, they know
exactly what they want. So, a guessing
game is played, from strawberry licorice,
to chocolate chunks(to fruitellas and back
again. Sometimes the purchase must be
renegotiated if the buyer finds that it will
take too many of his coins. When the deal
is finally closed, it often includes "swamp
water" to wash it down. This mixture of
four different types of pop takes an
acquired taste, except for the small fry.
DECISION MAKING
The main object of many children .is to
get as many separate objects as possible
with their total amount of money. In this
way, they practise decision making„ thrift,
counting, and consumerism. This may
involve SO different trips for SO jujubes, to
the despair of a busy booth attendant, but
if the child successfully manages to spend
every single penny, the evening has been
worthwhile.
Generally, spectators may be divided
into two distinct groups; parents, and
others. It may be dangerous to your health
to sit in a concentrated parent section, even
when they are parents that you know well.
Shouts of "Tie your shoelaces, Johnny!"
or "Sfidel Johnny, Slider may be
accentuated by physical action. One
mother that I know stands up. and screams
"Go! Go!" excitedly, while beating the
head of the luckless person on the bench in
front of her. But the young players really
benefit from an enthusiastic cheering
section of the bleachers.
BROADCASTING CENTRE
The bleachers at your local baseball
park also serve as a major news gathering
geo
he takes his seat on the players' bench
with dignity.
How many years of practice does it take
for a little girl to remember not -to slow
down when approaching a base, but to run
right through it? And when they try to .
catch that ball, when will the instinct to use
their knees be -permanently replaced by a
"..'reach out and grab it" reflex? But, when
someone really hits that old ball, they run
around those bases like real troopers, and
are not afraid to slide, or skin knees, or
even to collide with members of the
opposing team that are standing in their
way.
ENCOURAGE1VIENT AND PRAISE
Andhow about those coaches and
organizers and assistants who ' freely
-donate --their -time- and energy—to- "the -
community teams! All through the game,
one cannot help but notice the constant
words and gestures of praise and en-
couragement. On the benches or in the
field, they watch attentively, ready to
congratulate or console after every play.
They are responsible for the child's
development of sportsmanship and good
manners, even when a decision seems to
be horribly unfair. By their example, each
member of the team learns to accept the
outcome of the game, and shake hands
manfully at the end.
Sumner baseball in your community
park is a great way to spend an evening.
My only problem is that often I get so
interested in the personalities and the play
taking place around me that when I get
home. 1 can't answer some very basic
questions about the game. likeWho won?
What was the score?
I'm some baseball fan.
