Odds n'ends by Elaine Townshend that things are getting out of hand. The damp dreary mess of the past few weeks was one thing, but this sudden cold blast is something else. I have yet to meet anyone who is ready for winter. Most agree it is too cold too soon. Some are considering mutiny. What do you inted to do 'about it? - . 'A month or more of Indian Summer frost on plowed- ground in the morning, sunshine in the afternoon and clear skies at night - would sooth some crusty spirits. A &Listing of snow in December - enough to give us an official White Christmas but not enough to interfere with travel - would please many people. An open winter, with drifts stategically placed to keep skiers smiling and motorists driving, would be appreciated. You did a good job last winter. but let's be honest. Anything would have looked good after the winters we endured earlier in the 70s. Southwestern Ontario is notorious for its hard winters, and residents have proved their perseverance time and time again. Can't we break from tradition? 1,, for one, believe we deserve a break today.

I opened the door this morning and stepped outside, The wind blew me back in. . I tried again, and snow pellets stung my faces.. My nose turned blue before the car warmed up. This is autumn? Winter does not officially begin until December 21. Therefore we should be in the midst of sunny, crisp and colourful fall days. Where have you been? On a Florida vacation? ' Granted, you turned out a few good days in early October. They were perfect. They showed us what autumn is all about. They were too good to last. and they didn't. . A peculiar thing about those days was they started on Wednesday and ended on Friday. Like cleckwork. the sun went down on Friday night and the rain clouds came out on Saturday. Some people, who were -cooped up in an office or a classroom all week, took exception to that, sir. Farmers didn't enjoy hauling corn out of the mud, either. 1 realize your job is difficult, and nagging from me will not make it easier.
