I am pretty sure we are within
reasonable distance of that cor-
ner around which we are suppos-
ed •to meet spring. I know be-
cause it is only at this time of
year that the spirit moves me to
clean our cupboards and bureau
drawers. I always marvel at the
excitement this domestic act can
inspire.
Probably it is because things
come to light that have nestled in
a disheveled heap for months and
arouse memories that are pleas-
ant to remember on a day when
the March lion is roaring at the
eaves. As I rummaged I found
the copper plate for my first cal-
ling cards (nobody uses them any
more), a pattern for an infant's
felt slipper which was a gift I
passed on to every new mother
for years; a brown and brittle
white rose that marked the mail-
riage ceremony pressed between
the pages of a white prayer book;
snaps of the demolition and re•
building of our first venture in
home ownership and a tintype of
my great-grandmother and• her
family, posed stiffly in a neat row
,for the camera to record a hund-
red years ago.
When I realized I was almost
completely mesmerized by the
past and eetirebsurrounded

I thought I must still be
tumbling like Alice in Wonderland
into a strange place, for as I ap-
proached the station, I realized
the familiar old, weather beaten
red,wooden building with its peel-
ing. cream coloured trim had been
replaced, or, as I soon realized,
rejuiienated. Though this pleas-
ant metamorphosis was probably
only part of routine refurbishing
of CNR property and equipment
which is a constant concern of the
company, I romantically linked
the improvement with the season
of the year.
Many public buildings such as
stations, municipal buildings, rinks
and community centres are garish
and completely Unimaginative,
But there, •still surrounded by
drifts of cinderpoxed snow, that

of insul stone veneer. The irreg-

But the most pleasant surprise
was the interior. Spring, I found,
was certainly rampant here. The
soft green of the walls blended
with a dad of a, deeper green.
New cupboards for records have
been built from floor to ceiling
in the passageway that separates
the ticket and telegraph room
from the freight shed. Battle-
ship linoleum now covers floors
that 'had worn into bumps where
knots withstood the tramp of feet
for many years and bulged at
unexpected intervals - between
desk and wicket. Counters shine
like a newly cut topaz to vie with
the safe that boasts a coat of
fresh aluminum paint.
Amidst all this modernizing a
concession to the past has been
made. On the south wall, where
everyone who purchases a ticket
may check their watches with
authentic railway time, ticks the
old clock by which hundreds of
trains have been dispatched, down
more than a century this line has
been in'use. • •
