But another part is the gar- rulousness of geese. Most birds travel in silence, but not the goose. In the air or on the water, it chatters and gabbles, gossips and confers. You begin to hear and see them now, moving down by stages from the north. They come from over the horizon, like autumn itself, and tomorrow or next week they will be following summer southwards again. And earthbound, you and I will have the haunting memory, the faint echo of wild goose chatter high overhead, to remind us of autumn"s footloose travellers. The autumn winds blow, silvery milkweed pods open and silken floss rides every gust. No doubt some patient botonist once counted the seeds in a single milkweed pod. The figure must run into the thousands and anyone making such a count would be all but overwhelmed with such a floss. How nature packs so much silken fibre into one small pod is almost as much of a mystery as how she con- denses such an urgent bit of life into one small seed. Milkweed is not the only airborne seed riding the autumn air. Dozens of plants send their seeds journeying on the wind, borne by airy fibre, nature's balloons and drifting parachutes.

Brooklin Is Our Business close out a season's growth, but the winds of these days are rich with persisting life. Now is the time that nature does much of her seeding for another cycle, another green and urgent season. Autumn is a calendar season, but fall is the time when the col- our comes swirling down from the treetops. Day before yester- day the rising sun lit a bonfire in the maples. Yesterday it rain- ed. Today the maples stand half naked against the clearing sky and the incredible wealth of beaten gold is on the ground beneath them. Fall has come, the fall of the leaves. Colour persists, but except in the oaks it is in tatters and remants. Birches stand slim against the hillsides. Elms, where they are to be found, are a row of witches' brooms. These are star nights, with the late moon, and as the trees bare their branches, our eyes are invited upward. There is eternity in the star patterns found there. They have substan- tially been the same in each Oc- tober since man first devised the calendar. The earliest Pharoah saw these same stars and in the same places as we see them. And they will still be there 10,000 years from now. Look at the October sky, these October evenings, and see the certainty of forever.

The old structure has been removed at the corner of Winchester Road and Anderson Street to make way for a new, modern Memorial Hall. According to Rev. Ivan Dyer, minister of this oldest standing church in Brooklin, construction has been temporarily put on hold due to a delay in obtaining the proper building permits from the town. The first shovel full should be scooped out, however, within a few days. Fall colours outing at Long Sault Conservation Area 20), go east for 3 km.
