Hereby a few notes of obser-
vation, condemnation and
celebration.
What is there to celebrate?
Why, man, it's Spring. Not only
by the calendar, which happens
every, year, but by the signs,
which happen about once a
decade.
The gratis is green
And birds are seen
The cat wants out
And I've lost my gout
The snow is gone
1 can see my lawn
No mounds of ice
How awfully nice
I want to sing,
It must be spring.
There. A Canadian who does
not celebrate the actual as well
as official arrival of the vernal
equinox should, he run out of
the country as a Kase-horn
traitor.
Each time winter comes
around, which- it seems to do
aholit every four months, I,
think we all have a little secret
dread that this time it might
never end, that winter will go
any. ` -
Domi Delia lick seconds this
and goes on to explain, "I'm
not overly hard on- theat-either
like some other fathers 'who
coach their children our a team.

hard about I leave that up to

Yard It niay be the last time
You can celebrate such a
miracle for 'the 4.next fiftXti
Marches.
That's, the celebration part.
Now for some condemnation.
With the disappearance -of the
snow, we can see what Nature
so gracefully covered for a few
months — all t he filth that
Man has been .sweeping under
the white carpet.
It's .i junk -man's paradise:
rags, hones and bottles.. A few
companies who appear to have
some semblance of conscience
are announcing plans for
recycling of calls and 1)01tles
but the great majority of can-
ners and bottlers are rolling
right ahead with their apparent
project of covering Canada to a
depth of one foot, from 'coast to
coast, with empty cans and
non -returnable bottles.
Congratulations are due to
those who are making an effort,
and the utmost contempt feast
be awarded"to..those who- -how
their contempt f'or everything
except the'hucks by defecating
their cans and bottles in our
living room --- Canada.
Strange, isn't it, how govern-
ments respond? Let a little guy
"burn some leaves in his hack
yard and the law is right on his
hack. 1-le's broken the by-law,
he's a rotten polluter, he's a
disgrace to the community, and
he shall be punished, promptly
and ruthlessly.
But when it conks to taking
on a big guy, a vast cor-
poration, government stands
by, deploring and wringing its
hands, and occasionally ad-
ministering a slap on the wrist
with a velvet glove, in the farm
of a tiny fine that makes the
company's directors roar with
laughter before they go happily
hack 0) pouring their poisons
int() the environment.
1n the matter of bottles,
government could show a lead
that would not imperil a single
politician, which seems to .he
the Canadian Dream. It couId
insist that liquor and.wine bot-
tles he returned for use over
and over again. .
I'm sure the distillers and
vintners wouldn't quarrel with
such a practice, as long as
didn't cost theta. In fact, they'd
he ahead. Some of those fancy
bottles must cost as much as it
does to produce the poison that
goes into them.
That's my condemnation bit
for this week. Now, some obser-
vations', on these peculiar days
in which we live.
A couple of big -league
American baseball pitchers
decided, according to the news,
0) swap not only wives but
families. Then one of them
tried to hack out. The other
was indignant. "I thought he
was my.buddy," he wiled,
Wife -swapping, particularly
in suburbia, is no new
phenomenon. These chaps
merely extended the custom"
It's 000 that has never ap-
pealed much to me. There have
been occasions,, and I know it's
mutual, when i would have
swapped my wife for a second -
..hand pair of hip waders.
But ' for another woman''
Well, I look around at the
wives of all my men friends.
They're .lovely girls, the wives,
every one Of there. Howevi't
I'm one of those old-fashioned
chaps who can,see 1ittle•advan-
tage to deserting the frying -pan
for the- fire.
And you know what'.' I'll het
my wife won't understand that
as a compliment.
