Protecting Roses
No roses should be pruned in
the fall. It is a good idea to tie
a cord ,around each H.T. bush
and draw the canes gently to-
gether. After this you can drop
a bottomless carton over the
bush more easily,' Next fill the
carton with soil taken from an-

High, high, out of sight and
sound, a couple of jet aircraft
drew their careful chalk marks
across the sky. Far beloyr was
that eternal showoff, the Bay,
bluer than ever a maiden's eyes,
'broken only by the islands, like
so many bonfires in their crim-
son and yellow flame. And back
from the water rolled the bril-
liant; tapestry of the -fall fo}iage;
the green fields, and silver,
_indin�,river� ,_ _,�_•_
I stood there with my child-
ren, Even they were momentar-
ily hushed by the magnificence
of this Canadian—fall, day. r
couldn't help wishing that life
would always .be as sunny, as
clean, and as -exciting for them
as it was at this moment.
Then I started to get hungry.
A typical Canadian. On those
rare occasions whish we 'are
touched to the quick by life,
beauty or truth, our gastric
juices, temporarily quelled,
start to bubble like a home-
brew mash, and sky, forest and
lake are dismissed with a "sure
is a swell view)”
* *
And we hurry home, duck out
of the golden afternoon into our
caves, turn -on the idiot box,
and sit there swilling ',beer,
watching the football game, and
drooling over the odors from
the-ki"Ic�l"ien. '

The Japanese, theytell me,
can sit for a whole day and con-
template the beauty of a willow
leaf, or a tiny• pool. You can
belabor the average Canadian
with the most riotous colors, the
most extravagant vistas in 'the
world, and within seven - min-
etes he's wondering what's for
dinner.
* •x. �. .
Mind you, I believe -the Can-
adian has a deep, if mute affec-
tion for his native land. But he
:,hould be reminded at intervals
o'f how lucky he is to live in
this country of freedom of

liners. There is no person on
ci.rth with so much to be thank-
ful for as a Canadian, on a fine
October day.
Think of all the poor devils
who don't live. in Canada in the
fall. How would you like to be
an Australian, for example?
Dawn there it's spring right
about now. No anticipation of
cosy winter nights with the
trees snapping and the furnace
rumbling for him. No looking
forward to those brisk, blood-
curdling days of midwinter, for
him. Nothing ahead for him but
month after month of brilliant
monotonous sunshine. It must
he depressing to be an Austral-
ian in October.
*
How about the Englishman in
October? What he has to face
1' six solid months of days spent
in the fog and drizzle, and
nights spent in the Dog and
Whistle. By spring, he is so
wet, inside and out, that he'd
never notice it if the entire.
r.i,.nd sank quietly to the ocean
floe'.
*
Maybe you think the folks in
the Congo are abetter off in
October than are Canadians. Not
a hope.- You've jus¢ (earned how
to pronounce the name of the
new president, Kisamafuto,
when he's replaced by a chap
called Mongoloidijit.

lounced as a loci if imperialist

Jacquie should go to the

No sir, for food and friends,

ine as this Canada of ours, in
)ctober. And I'll stick to' that,
given thou4h my daughter pick -
