The invitation is for dinner and dance to be attended by all the officials in county.

The new drain, to run from McConnell to Morris, is being planned for September provided council can, get a firm price from the firm involved. Council members discussed with town foremen Bill Buchanan the placements of catch basements and tile diameter for the suggested drain extension, Led to Catholic church here If the Irish potato famine of 1848 had not occurred .the 100th anniversary of St. Michaels Church in Blyth might not have happened last weekend. Author of a booklet compiling the history of the Parish, Yvonne Cronyn discovered that the mass immigration of Irish to the area prompted the construction of more and more churches for worshippers. Until 1858, the only parish priest in the area, Father Schneider entered in his diary the corning of a vicar called Father Wassereau who was the first of many to serve the area. The first church mass was said over the small congregation in the first settler's log cabin John Kelly, At these times people were expected to fast from twelve midnight on Saturday until after communion on Sunday. The people of Walton not only continued to come to Blyth for Mass; they .also remained to partake of John Kelly s hospitality, simple as it was. Municipal office Mr. Kelly was willing, and welcomed then all to his simple fare; but the priest, who also made that home his headquarters, was not; and feeling that it was an imposition to expect so much from one who was very poor, he ordered then home after mass, Easter In the years that followed mass was said in the church once a month always at Christmas and Easter but otherwise not in the winter months. The original mission covered a vast area and it was not until 1879 that the Bishop Walsh's diary records the separation of the missions, Once united with Irishtown (St. Columban), Wawanosh and Ashfield Town ships, Blyth and Wingham had their own missions now and thoughts turned to a more permanent church and so St. Michaels was built. Thus in 1878 St. Michaels was erected on :and in Blyth. The church measured 36 feet by 93 feet complete with tower reaching 78 Fire protection needed Blyth's municipal office should have a fire proof safe, councillors agreed Tuesday night. Clerk Larry Walsh pointed out to council that there are a lot of paid and unpaid bills, records, and promissory notes in his office that should be protected from fire, "If a fire should break out a fire proof safe would help avoid a nasty situation." he said, It was suggested by the clerk that the PUC department could pay for half of the cost as all of their records are kept in the clerk's office too. In other business councillors Albert Wasson and Bill Howson informed council that the drain behind Charlie Smith's residence still needs attention. Council agreed to look into the matter immediately. Council has received several complaints about inadequate street lighting since the PUC took out two lights when updating the lines recently. The new lights are mounted higher on the posts and although stronger are restricted now because of the heavy growth of trees, Town foreman Bill Buchanan told council he felt that the streets involved were better illunminatedthan before when the two extra lights were there, Council suggested some of the trees could be trimmed to help people see' better, Councillor Helen Gowing asked if any word had been received concerning the warning traffic signs council asked for at the Senior Citizens housing and the Lions playground from the department of tm nsp6rt and communications, The clerk said he had heard nothing as of yet. Council will meet again September 11. feet high. Horse Race Another item in the history of the church concerned a horse race. The race involved the collection of subscriptions for the church in Clinton and the church in Blyth. The one with the most subscriptions would be benefited with the addition of another parish priest. The Clinton area came up with more subscriptions and was able to supply a new rectory which was promptly filled in Clinton. Blyth had its share of'priests and all of them left behind a story to tell. There was Father Bart Gaffney who directed the first play, which was presented in Blyth and Clinton, in the twenties. Father McDonald compiled and wrote the history of the Churches of Blyth and Clinton. He also tried to draw the communities together by combining the Catholic Wotnens League of Clinton and Blyth. The church underwent a face lift inside, in 1976 when parishoners raised over 2,000 for carpeting, painting and new panelling. Work was volunteered by the parishoners and the church now stands refurbished and cleaned up so that anyone visiting it is impressed by the all the effort devoted to get it looking updated and new looking again. The centennial of the church was marked with a special mass on Sunday followed by a banquet at the Blyth and Community Arena, For the occasion the History Book, written by Yvonne Cronyn was available as well as souvenir plates of the church, St. Michael's Church 2 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 16, 1978 West Wawanosh considers report Warner Andrews re- quested at the West Wawanosh Township meeting Tuesday that the services of an experienced grader operator do some special grading on the hill west of the Auburn.

P`O"'4,c HURON 7a �t1 � S From me to you Don't miss Gwendoline By Rhea Hamilton Plays and stories around the world and throughout time dealing with "crazy" people have fascinated the rest of us, We have total awareness of their dif- ferences and ours but not tolerence for their dif- ferences. The most recent pro- duction on stage at the Blyth Summer Festival evolves a- round a "crazy" lady called Gwendoline, The whole spooky thing about this play is the fact that after observing the demented lady you get the feeling that she may not be as crazy as everyone believes. • Gwendoline Elliott, played by Karen Weins, gives off a naivite that is both frustrating and endearing as well as wise. People look at her and quickly turn their eyes for fear her mental unbalance would be contagious or maybe because they may see something of themselves in her, Karen plays the part with such authenticity that when she conies on stage for an dncore you almost expect to see that vacant or gleeful look in her eye that you become familiar with throughout the play. But Gwendoline is not without friends. Pork.Easton, played by much fatter Ter- rence Durant, sympathizes with Gwendoline. Where she is ostracized by the com- munity for her mental pro- blems, Mr, Easton suffers too because of his gross obesity. His wife ran away from him years ago leaving behind her infant son and Easton says he still feels the loss to -day. He even goes so far as to suggest that he and Gwendoline get together at WON! - Ivan Mason was one of the winners at the fish pond. This was one of several penny carnival games held by the Summer sports program to end their season last week. The 6 week program was organized and run `)y Betty Konarski, Lorri Hesselwood and Angelena Arts, through a government program. (Standard Photo) night "no one would know". But Gwendoline's lack of worldly wisdom and her childlike behaviour leave Easton confused about his own true intentions towards the town's crazy. Easton's son David,. played by Tom McCamus is of the vital age of 16 and given free rein by his father takes to watching Gwendoline. But the play is not without its villian and in steps Miss Jacobs, the Easton's house- keeper. A prim and proper spinstress she objects mightily to the like of Gwendoline Elliott being al- lowed to run around town scaring people. "With all that money - you would think someone could look after her" nags Miss Jacob to her employer. The ending comes as a surprize but I can't go and tell you how it ends. There are only four pro- ductions Gwendoline left for the season. The play leaves you so wrapped up in it, that it is sad to see it end. The stage setting, complete with Victorian porch and back kitchen is a credit to the stage designer Pat Flood. The night scenes are readily enhanced by shadowy images of trees in the background. If you have not made it to sec any plays at Blyth you arc missing some exciting entertainment. The season has only two and half weeks left and the last play is performed September 2. Don't let the season close without your enjoying at least one production. They arc too good to miss and maybe after reading about Gwendoline you may be curious to see how the town crazy survives modern civilized mans condemnation of insanity.

Council decided to agree in principle with the draft copy of the Seraphin Subdivision plan and refer it to Hullett's solicitor for approval. Council also made a zoning by-law for the subdivision and decided that the zoning by-law on Part Lot 45, Con. 14 and Lots, 20, 30, 39, 40 and Part 29, Registered Plan 2 in the Township of Hullett, be approved and sent to the OMB for approval and to all property owners within 400'. Also at the meeting, council held a Court of Revision on the Duizer Drain and then later passed a by-law to reassess the cost of maintenance on the Duizer Drainage Works. In other business, council passed a by-law to impose special annual drainage rates upon land in respect of which money is borrowed under the Tile Drainage Act 1971. They decided to accept the report on the Youngblut Drainage Works and set September 5 at 9 p.m. for consideration of the report.

Registration Number 1319 • Good news time Something seems to be happening to North American society that may be far more significant than past revolutions such as the "greening" of America, or the hippies, or the protest marches. For the first time in many years, we're in a mood for good news again. Star Wars becomes the biggest money making movie of all time. Surprise! --the good guys win. And they do it, not by some clever trick that catches their, opponents off guard, but by trusting something bigger than themselves, by something that used to be called faith. Close Encounters of the Third Kind presents alien creatures, not as a malevolent enemy be beaten off, but as a sign of hope. Almost all the big national magazines in Canada have now carried feature articles on marriages that last, instead of just those that break up. And on the Mery Griffin Show, Ross Hunter, the director • of Airport, says that people are getting tired of sex, violence, and pornography. According to Hunter, they're ready for love stor lel again. Faith...hope...and Iove...Maybe it's true, as newscaster Lloyd Robertson writes In the Presbyterian Record, quoting a U.S. university president, that "the Christian experience has become acceptable again." If our obsession with bad news is indeed waning, that in itself is good news.

A first for a summers effort Behind the scenes by Keith Roulston Where has summer gone? I don't know about you, but about this time every year panic starts to set in around our place. Where has all the summer gone? Back in the bright early days of spring I made up an optomistic list of things that would be done around this rambling antique we call home before the winter winds blew. Well I can hear those winds just around the corner and that list is just about as long as it was the day it was drawn up. If it hadn't been for the bitter experience of last year, I wouldn't be so worried these days. I had a lot of work I figured on getting done in the warm days of September last year but there were no warm days, In fact there wasn't much you could do outside last September unless it was to fill a newly -dug farm pond with water. That was easy since everything else got filled with water too including bean fields and basements. I spent that month trying to find a few dry moments to take an old roof off and put a new one on. It was finally accomplished one cold and blustery day in late September or early October when it was all one could do to standup on the roof. Only an idiot would be taking on such a job on such a day but then after those weeks of wet weather and knowing how much work had to be done before winter there were a lot of us idiots doing things we should have left alone. This cold work was of course followed by a case of near -pneumonia and of course was also followed by a week of beautiful warm fall weather. Now a logical person remembering all this from last year would get an early start this year, but then I'm not a logical person. There areso manygood reasons in May, June and July not to get out the paint scraper and start taking the old paint off the window sills. Just about anything seems more important than building the new porch steps. Afterall, nobody's broken his leg yet onthe old steps: twisted an ankle maybe but not broken anything. Besides, it's hard enough to keep up with the garden with all those weeds that are growing 30 times faster than the plants that are supposed to be there, Of course there are also some good solid reasons for my own particular slow start on the summer work. There were revisions to be written for a play and rehearsals to go to and work generally associated with getting a production on stage. That helped cook May and June but the play went on stage July 11 so I've got to come up with some other excuse for the rest of the summer. I can't even use the garden, for instance, because by now I've abandoned the garden to the weeds anyway. So there's nothing left but to get at the work. I'm one of those people who like old houses. I know it doesn't make much sense. It's much smarter to choose a nice new house but then people have been telling me for years I'm stupid. When it comes time for work around the house I'm inclined to believe them. Old houses somehow don't look quite so beautiful when there's miles of old woodwork to be scraped and painted. When the old gingerbread on the sagging porch is broken and had to be repaired it doesn't seem quite so precious. And when it comes to climbing to the end of a 30 -foot ladder to paint the eaves, the tall stateliness of the old houseisn't at all to be loved anymore. I'm a chicken at heart when it comes to height. The thing that really makes one have second thoughts about the old house, however, is when one tackles what appears to be a simple repair job, and three days later has to call in professional help. To solve one little thing sometimes means uncovering five big things. Even the simplest of th ngs takes an enormous amount of time. Scraping the paint of one window can take as long as painting five. Fitting in one new window pane can take as long as building a whole set of steps from scratch. You work for about 10 minutes, then have the overwhelming urge to sneak into the house and lie down for a while. Only the thought of a raging winter wind (or a raging wife) keeps you going. Ah well, you say as the paint goes on ever so slowly, at least you won't have to do this next year. Yeh, your,inner voice says, but there'll be 10,000 other little things to do, And they talk about a woman's work never being done! THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 16, 1978 — 5 From Manitoba Dogs are problem everywhere Editor's /note: The fcllowing excerpt was sent in by Andrew Kirkconnel of Auburn, While Mr. K'wkconnel was out west he picked up a few newspaper and this one, The Russel Banner, in Manitoba had a letter published which seemed appropriate for any village which suffers from dog problems, Would it be possible for you to publish the following letter? When 1 get this June twenty-second Blamer and read, "Russell Council Meets", I think, "Aha, Some country man on town council.'.' It say citizens are to learn "what action they can take against owners of dogs". i.e. When dogs are running at large, 1 immediately turn to page which say in big, bold, black letters "Town of Russell Public Notice, Dat's wen I realize Banner- not so dull reading at all already yet. I laff mineself sick, Husband tink 1 crazy till 1 tell hint Banner joke. town dogs no can persue, startle or bitehorses, oxen or poultry. Dat's going to be one busy justice of peace, wen he hears funny farm people actually teach dogs to do that very thing wen animals come near the house or open gate or lawn. I move into dis fair town of Russell from farm few years ago, M ost beautiful place in world, Beautiful homes, Beautiful lawns. Beautiful, friendly people. Just like on farm. But 1 so dumb. Just like hillbilly from backwoods. Town ways so different. Op- posite of country ways, New friends help me adjust. They tell me, "Build fence keep town dogs off own property." Funny, farm people fence OWN property to keep OWN annimals at home, Sure wish 1 had known about town ways when down on farm sure wouldn't have had to build dem dar fences. So much work. Oh, well. Mayor like animals. He not fence his animal in. Biggest animal in town, too. But it not run at large either. Don't look like any animal we raise on farm. Worht a lot more money. Much cuter than farm animals. Don't need hay neither. Dat's kind of bull we should raise on farm. We so dumb in country. Got are one real crazy town neighbor yet. Stupid like farmers, Built fence round own backyard to keep own dog in, Just like farm people. But his frontyard not fenced, town dogs can use that. So he not altogether selfish. Wonder why his neighbors really like hint? They think he's considerate. He's got ne of them little metal tags, too. Tink dey arc called a dog license. Anyway town folk say it like tax for dogs so they can go wherever they like on town or private property. Pay a lot of money for dat tax, So guess it's all right. 1 pay property tax, too, not high inRussell. Town people tell me tar only allows dogs to crap and urinate on neighbors lawn or town property. N of are, indecent exposure, they call it. Sure can't get used to town ways. in country people have more rights than animals. Now don't get the idea I don't like dogs. i really do love them. But I also like to walk across my own lawn bear -feet -cc!. 1 also love trees, but most of all i love children. Crazy farm wife, me. Do thing like hillbilly. Taught children that animals excretement could carry germs and dat barns were for animals and houses for people. That one should look after animals so they arc not hurt in any way. Crazy huh? But 1 saw a dog, and a cow at different times lying on highway injured so badly that had to be disposed of. Town pian didn't stop drive around then. Didn't even slow down when saw them on highway. Drove right into them. In town here, country man must stop for dogs on street. if you think country people do strange things you should just see how crazy those country dogs are. A door opens, a dog comes running toward you with love in eyes, a smile at one end, a wag at the other. Snuggles up for a pat. Dey shore need to be educated. Town dog cousins can teach dem a lot. At first hint of a door opening a dog should take off like lightening and run like fury and don't stop for a block or two. Wonder why?? Town people love their dogs so much they don't want them hurt in any way so they wouldn't expose them to dat mea, young lady up the street who throws shoes at dogs so her spoilt kids not have to play in dog door. Or that miserable old man with a sling shot and stone trying to protect his evergreen type tree from clog urine which he knows will kill it, Maybe he should use a pellet gun, lilegal? Of course, But every dog is allowed several nips and to bite once before owner being issued a warning. Should a person not be allowed one shot? No. I don't think so. Might hurt dog. Doesn't hurt town people or chiidren when dog bites, Wonder how teachers are going to keep children off school grounds so dogs can run at large? Me, 1 can't get used to town ways, Screamed bloody murder it' cow got out of pasture and %vent plop, plop, plop by house leaving brown piles of ---. John Deifenbaker calls them plats. Anyway, you know what mean Maybe town people have nicer name for them than country people. They same ting dogs leave on street and:Council say is okay fir dogs to run at large. Can't complain to.lustic of Peace. Dog not here very long so can't prove he did it, Went to post office one day, stepped around one dog and into some dog --- (1 don't dare say it country style. Dictionary say offal) the language I was about to utter wasn't fit for town ears. 1 remember jus' in time, I town lady now. Dignified. Not country lady screaming at wot cow do. Must remember. Dogs allowed to do ;it on street, Have tag to prove it. Musn't let town people know 1 country lady. What I don now? Look up and down street. Nobody looking. Walked on heel to edge of sidewalk. Discretely scraped it off', What would town lady or owner of dog have done? Did 1 do the right thing? Musn't insult dog owner. Stopped car by old Royal Bank one day in spring. Beatiti.ful day, Got out of car. Saw two amen with funny grins on faces. Wonder why? Looked in same direction they were looking. Crazy farm wife. Far to modest. Face went red. Eyes downcast. Blush for shame. Hurriedly walk in other direction. Sex is a beautiful thing. But perforating the sex act on main street?? Oh, Well. It was old bank. Not new one. Me only farm wife not used to town ways. The dog tax say dogs can run at large, Saw dog lift leg on fire hydrant in front of store, Few minutes later child eating chocolate bar placed hand on same hydlisnt and swung around it several times. Sure glad it wasn't country child. Mother would have been furious. Country children not allowed to play where animals urinate, Silly country people believe it n't sanitary, and that their niay be disease germs transmitted to them, Looked out my kitchen window one morning at my prized pryramid cedars. What's that i'The cutest, brown, tiny slendor thing, An overgrown mosquito? Started to sniff life dog. When right leg started to lift like dog on niy cedar, I let out one horrible yell and make loud, sudden noise with hands. Mosquito dog ran like fury. Sure hope he found annudder tree so Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals don't get nie, Went round corner of my house one day. Eyes nearly bug out, Animal big as horse, furry feet like clydesdale horse, head all nose, Legs slightly spread, spine hunched up, rear end down. Go to house. Grab encyclopdia. Now i know what is. An afghan hound, Sure not like the afghan I have on chesterfield. Doesn't leave pile like horse did. Try not to turn up nose like country lady. Pile has to go. I know that for sure, Ra a lawn mower accidentally through one once. Sure didn't smell like town lady. Or country lady either. Dog on race track at fair time sure was cute, huh? Did he win the race? Glad he had a license to be they Owners/of races horses may have had accident if he hadn't. Now, Mr. Editiordo you think you or some ofyout• readers could help me adjust to town living? Please help me to change my strange, country ways. Thanking you for space in your paper, I remain. Sincerely yours, Strange Ways 50 line up for shots More than 50 people showed up for polio shots when a clinic was held in Brussels on Monday. People came from Brussels, Morris, Grey and Blyth. Public Health Nurse Marlene Roberton said the demand for the shots was great, She said she got a lot of telephone calls and that one morning when she counted she had 25 calls. She said she had 70 doescs of polio tetanus shots for adults on Monday and 60 doses for Tuesday. "The phone's been ringing off' the hook," Mrs. Roberton said "Felt most of them inquired about themselves, and then their children," she added, Cauliflower is now a Huron crop Huron County's first com- mercially grown crop of cauliflower is now being harvested 'near Exeter, Len Veri, who planted 175 acres of the crop this spring, said the crop is in excellent condition. The grower had hired 50 workers to help harvest the crop and package it for marketing. Mr. Veri said the demand for the crop is good. The grower will also start harvesting his pepper crop this week, but the recent cool nights mean the crop hasn't done as well as the cauliflower crop. She said people who called in were told about the Clinic in Brussels, She was giving out straight polio shots; polio, tetanus shots; polio tetanus and diptheria shots; and polio tetanus, diptheria, and whooping cough shots. Medical Officer of Helath for the Huron County Health Unit Dr. Brian Lynch of Godcrich said the official clinics stopped as of yesterday. He said that some Health Unit nurses may still give vaccines but there will be no organized clinics and how many vaccines the nurses will give out depends on what the supplies arc like. 1.2 UI!uiI:...ul11;111..,11111.11.......implum.OM PO !Ili fit l II Extra Special Flannelette ' $1.39 yd. 3 yd. or more $1.29 yd.

Holly was at the Hebert honk on a Lions international Youth Exchange in which the student stays with a family for a week, goes HOLLY JAEGER toa camp with other exchange students from around the W01.1 (1 for two weeks and then returns to the family for a week. The camp is held at •Wildwood near St. Marys. , Holly got to go on the Lions Club Exchange because of a friend of hers whose father is a Lions Club member. He thought she might also like to go on the trip. As a group, the exchange students went to Niagara Falls, to the horse races, roller skating, swimming, and to'fobcrmury on the tiny and across to Manitoulin Island and to Ontario Place in 'Toronto. With the 1-ieberis, Holly went to the lake a few times, to Godcrich and she also attended sonic baseball games. Holly said the idea of the exchange was "just to get a chance to see how Canadian families live -- to see what their customs are like." The Lions Club pays for everything except for the plane fare and the expenses, plus Holly said the Lions club at honk gave her some spending money. Holly said that things arc a lot more expensive here than where she lives, especially records. She said for a double album here, you pay about $14 while down there they're about $9. For souvenirs from Canada, Holly took home sonic shorts from Niagara Falls for her hinther and sisters, some Maple Leaf Earrings, some Canadian beer and a cheese tray. At home, Holly is part oI' a family of six. She has two sisters and a brother. Holly who now .attends high school plans to go to college and study music. Holly sings and plays the piano. She has taken piano lessons for nine years and has been singing since the age of six. She has also been taking voice lessons for about a year. She sings in the church choir, the school choir and in Act I a singing group which puts on concerts everywhere. Holly said her favorite part of her trip to Canada was staying with the Hebert family and staying with the other students in the camp. Holly left for her home in Atlanta on Saturday.

(Standard Photo) School show gets 'A' By Debbie Ranney Ted Johns receives an A for his one-man performance in the School Show at the Blyth Summer Festival. In the play which Johns wrote from a scenario dvclopcd with Paul Thompson from Theatre Passe Muraillc, Johns looks at all sides of Huron's recent school strike while managing to get in a few digs about the proposed book banning and other educational issues as well. Playing a dedicated teacher of the old school Miss Heartwright; the farmer who can't understand the demands of his teacher son: the uneducated but vocal man in the bar: the frustrated wife of a school teacher ; the frustrated wife of a school teacher; teacher, Ted Johns gets in his barbs while managing to pull in many laughs from the audience as well. Some of the most memorable lines arc when Johns as Miss Heartwright is talking to a former pupil of hers who is now member of the school board and tells him, "you can't edit the short words out of books," in reference to the book banning issue. Dedicated As Miss Heartwright, a leacher of the one rooms school house, Johns present a • lady who is dedicated to her work and Inas everything under control until the education system decides it no longer needs her. She is devastated when told she no longer holds a �l Established 1876 'McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE -COMPANY HEAD OFFICE: 10 MAIN ST., SEAFORTH, ONT Mrs. Margaret Sharp. Sec. Treas., Ph. 527-0400.

The final blow islbe told that her pupils are about to be bussed to another school. As the frustrated mother of a school student, Johns points out the ineptitude of Bill Davis and the Ontario government in their handling of the education system. As the wife of a dedicated school teacher he shows just how much work and dedication is involved in being a school teacher. As the new breed of dedicated teacher now spending time in the local bar while the lockout is on, Johns gives a lecture pointing out that the teacher is in the bar and so are the students-- so they have the makings of a classroom but as Johns says, "something is not working." As the farmer, Johns takes the point of view that teachers have nothing to complain about. In all six of the characters that he plays, Johns bring a new insight into teachers' strikes and into the whole educational system in Ontario. Set designer Pat Flood has managed to keep the sets effectively simple with each painting behind hint, suited to the character Johns is portraying at the moment. Sometimes a little humour in a serious situation makes people think more about the issue than if it had been presented in a serious manner. Not only does TcdJoins leave the audience laughing when he departs from the stage --he also leaves them thinking.

R3T 2E2 ® 254-'7a 16 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 16, 1978 Sugar and Spice by Bill Smiley There's only one thing wrong with this country - aside from too many politicians, too Illuch hinter, too much inflation, t00 little employment - and that is its summer. • A Canadian summer is sneaky, seductive, and even sinister. That may sound like a paradox, when the sky is as blue as John Turner's eyes, day after day, and the sun is as hot as Rene Levesques' tongue, day after day.E3it it's a fact. Canada's summer is deteriorating; debilitating and eventually destroying our normally sturdy national character. At least it is mine. And as I look about nlc, 1 know I'm not alone. During the other seasons, we know were we arc - or are not - going. We know where WC are at, 'Through our magnificent autumns, our basic pessimisms prevails. We greet with little harsh barks of sardonic laughter, and a knowing wagging of heads, CVCr'v doomsday prophet, from ancient Indian sages 10 the Farmers' Alumna c, who (ells us that It's going t0 be a long, tough winter. • When the first snow flies in November, we are as delighted as a Bible -thumping, soul -saving minister dumped into a coni- nlunity of arant sinners. We start building up our personal library of short stories and novels, entitled such as: "Snow" and "To Build 0 Fire- and "Lost in the Barrens" and "Christmas Eve at Eighty Below'', each designed to make us chuckle as we sit there with the nil furnance walling up the tropic temperatures from below. i'or the next four or five months. we spin otu'wheels on the ice and snuffie through the snow, happy as pigs in poop, complimenting each other on the facts that "There's a terrible lotta 'flu around" and tliat "She's a long ways from over yet even though it's the end of February and it hasn't snowed for three weeks. From the first of March to the middle of May, regardless of the mist of green sprouting everywhere, the ice gone out of the bay, and the thermometer rising to the piping point, the boys in the coffee shop and the girls at the hair -dresser's keep reminding each other merrily of the year we had eighteen inches on April I2th, and the time we had a killing frost on the 24th 01' May. Suddenly it's J une. Lilac scent. Strawber- ries. Flowers popping. Mosquitoes humming. Temperatures soaring. But we don't give up. We still know the score. "We'll likely have a cold, wet summer", or "Tile dams' grass is growin' too fast. Hadda cut her twice this week", or "Too many squirrels. That means a long, hard winter." And then, without our even realizing; it, we've slid into the miracle of .1uly and August, and our dour national natures are completely fragmented, alienated. We don't know who we are, where we going, or where we are at. We go to pieces. We forget all about our ten-month love affair with Survival and begin acting as human and norrllal as those despised Mcditcrrancans we want to keep out of the country. Elderly gentlemen with legs like grass- hoppers and guts like a member of the Hell's Angels, go sauntering along the beach in shorts and shades, -shameless. Grandmothers, who the rest of the year preach probity, purity and good posture, slither into bikinis, grease them- selves all over, and lie around like starlets at the Riviera, soaking up the sun and any glances that come their way. Young executives, normally suited, shitted and tied, wander about backyard barbecues, corsets abandoned, bare bellies hanging over slovenly shorts, downing gin and tonic as though it were the medicine to end all ailments. Male teenagers suddenly emerge with more macho than a Mexican, chests hared, shorts cut right back to the public hair line, swaggering, bare -rooted, constantly baking or combing their other well -shaped hair, saying 111 effect, "Here I ani, girls, Ain't I gorgeous?
