FOR INFORMATION CALL 18764003 Ode to November- glad its over don t know anyone who has written an Ode to November It is Just possible that some idiot in Florida or California or Por tugal or the West Indies has done go be cause that is the month their oranges gropes finest riavour Long gone ore Thanksgiving the glories of autumn foliage the bright yellow sun of October Instead there arc the withered fields There arc black accusing branches like fingers of the stark and naked trees There is the first snow turned to dirty slush Fittingly November has no holiday The only thing near it is Remembrance Day a day of mourning of remembering old slaughters and young men caught in them There are the first obscene Christmas carols the first phoney Santas the intri arrangements of coloured lights to remind us that If we spend spend spend buy buy buy we are supporting those two great edifices of the western world Chris and free enterprise November for most Canadians Is a time of fearful tentative waiting shoulders metaphorically hunched Wait to see what The Lord has in store for There Is no promise fn November no hope Only more of the same for the next five months Grey greasy unyielding November grips us to the bone with Us taintythatwehavesinned and now we are going to suffer Even with modern heating and lighting with the tranquilizers of television and froten dinners and no trips to the back yard John necessary November makes us cringe Probably it a legacy from our pioneer ancestors I can help thinking what November meant to them The closing In The black of the morning Thewet chill of the air The worry about enough hny for the beasts enough wood in the woodpile enough salted meat for the winter enough spuds and turnips in the coldcellar It was no time for watching the Grey Cup or the Dallas Cowboys on a Saturday afternoon It must have been a time or frantic scrambling for those pioneers Chinking the draughts between the logs Cutting wood like mad Slaughtering and smoking and puttingdown food for the long bitter days ahead There was no running over to the super market for a few bags of flour a bag of sugar and eight cartons of margarine It was a siege ahead that could last seem It must have been especially frightening for the women For those long dark months ahead they would be virtually locked in their cabins with almost no social intercourse outside the family End less days of preparing hot meats knitting warm clothes with no company after the children were bedded down except that of sullen exhausted husband For the men at least there was some es cape the dally chores the battening down of hatches against the coming storms per haps a trip to the village Tor supplies the tending of animals As we turn up the thermostat flip on the lights or flush the toilet we should remember with a touch of awe what November must have been like for our grand and great grandparents Now I know not everybody will agree with me That as should be For cionados of curling November means the opening of a new season with the slap of brooms the conviviality of the bar the urge for competition beckoning them out of their cosy homes into the dark cold night For the skiing crowd November does hold promise They sniff the air like cheer like children when the first flakes fall and generally irritate the rest of us It even a rather exciting time for merchants They anticipate the Jangling of cash registers the pushing of hot sweaty mobs through their aisles It enables them to blot out for a brief time the doldrums of January that lurk ahead And of course November holds no fears for the deer hunters and those idiots who stand in icy water to the waist trying to catch one last big rainbow trout Best time of the year they chortle heartily But for golfers boat en and most old people November could be left right off the calendar For sailors on the Great Lakes and at sea it Is a month fraught with discomfort and even peril with storms howling out of the northwest You may have gathered that I don t like November and I glad It over Limehouse cow gets certificate A cow owned by a man has re Superior Production Certificate
