Every time ; lie out in the backyard, on the green grass, with the green trees enclosing a circle of blue sky above me, I shake myself and pinch myself, until I know it's a dream, and that if I tried the same thing four months later, I'd be buried under three feet of snow. That's why I feel no real sadness as summer draws to a elose. The Canadian summer is about as real as Gilbert and Sullivan. In fact, I am elated at the thought that another two months of muddling around with visiting relatives, irrational golf balls, reluctant fish and lippy kids is at an end. As any true, red-blooded Canadian knows, fall is the time when we begin to live again. We love it. We come alive. We stop dreaming. We look at our kids with clear eyes, after the opium- dream of summer, and find they've grown four inches. We look at our stomachs, after two months of barbecuedchick- ed, french fries and dairy queens and find they've grown two inches. We look with loving eyes at our schools and realize with some joy that it's only a few days until we can take advan- tage of our position as tax- payers, and get rid of the kids for the best part of each week. We look at our country and see it with new eyes. It's beauti- ful. Not a tourist in sight. We look at our soft, soppy, silly, summer selves, and re- alize that this is not what life is all about. And we give a dim silent Canadian cheer for the fact that it's all over once again, and we can get back to the serious things of life. Like having a baby. Or running for the school board. THE INDUSTRIAL MORTGAGE AND TRUST COMPANY Waning summer VS 4 sad time, in a way. The halcyoti days' are nearing an end,, The sun has lostitsburning, baking strength. The nights come peon-, er, and cooler. Young lovers who have bad a summer affair part with a last embrace, desperate promises to write, and a great hearts wrenching, a feeling that some- thing is going to be lost, irre- trievable. And they're right. There is a slightly forlorn, lonely air about the beaches and the resorts and the sum- mer places. They have acquired a certain air of shabbiness that goes with the end of summer. Canadians fall asleep every year, in June. Lulled by the whispered, scented promises of that lush and lovely month, they dream of dazzling beaches, pine-scented woods, fun and sun, health and happiness. And then the dream turns into the reality. The sizzling irrita- tion of the July heat wave, when they have decided, for a change, to take their holidays in August this year. And the cold, wet blanket of August, which turns camping trips into shivering family feuds, cottages into min- iature mental institutions, and resort owners into wild-eyed neurotics. But don't let this end-of- summer sadness bother you. It's phoney, Canadians are not really sad as summer ends. At least, they're no more sad than I am, when I dream I'm flying to Hongkong with Elizabeth Tay- lor, and I've just drifted off with her head on my shoulder, and she shakes me gently and leers into my eyes and says, "I think I WILL have a double brandy", and I suddenly wake up and the Old Battleaxe is shaking my shoulder, the one with the bur- sitis in it, and mumbling, "Demme a drinka wodder." Summer in this country is an absolute fantasy, something in which no s ensible Canadian would put any more faith than Friends fete bride at tea and showers FOREST SARNIA PETROLIA LEGION AUXILIARY The Lucan branch of the Le-- gion Auxiliary opened the Fall season with a meeting in the Legion Hail last Tuesday night.
