Ail we can say fo this "$3,700 for a pro- tection walI at Bowmanville harbor" is that the goveriment lias flot bqen lavish or extravagant ini this instance. It seems a very inadequate amount to do any sort of a permanent job to fix up what w-as once a very substantial harbor. Dare We Say Spring Is ilere? Dare we say if, in view of the snow cov- ered ground Tuesday morning, April il1? However. wve will take a chance and say Spring is almost here! Wheras a short time ago people were getting up f0 go f0 work in the dark, 110W most mornings are flood- ed with cheerful sunshine. In many ways if lias been a pleasant winter, -wif h plenty of snow for the delight of skiers and for chiîdren-wit h sleiglis, toboggans and skates. But now, enougli is enough. Winter, as usual. has puffed and strutted a bit too long on our stage and a new production is eagerly awaited. Birds. foo, are a sign that the seasons neyer fail fo circld and that vernal days arc near. Chiekadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers. sparrows and starlings, most of which have stayed through the darkest. coldest days. are inuch, more vocal than a few weeks ago. They are busy greeting other birds of their own species which did migrate and are now returning, and, most prolific source of sono, and excifed shittering-, this is one Of the principal matin- seasons. Crows and robins are back again and wood larks, and sooni we shail be welcoming bluebirds. redwings and blackbirds. If is spring, definitely, which w-e all de- sire. Birds first, then flowers. Crocuses peeping flirougli green grass; tulips and daffodils blooming ini beds warmed by a steady sfrcngthêning sun. Even more thril- ling, in rural woods and urban ravines, vio- lets and trillums discovered flowering even under belafed patches of snow-. There are many things, at hoime and a- broad, f0 remind us that our generations were not born f0 ease and safety. But, as f0 ail pepples in troublesome or placid days. spring cornes in 1939 with ifs delîglits and allurements.
