the big while blanket staff photo jfree press editorial page waif ifcu leck at it sugar and spice bill smiley our problems arent always as big as they look its just that we some times tend to get bogged down in a difficult approach when the solution simply calls for a little imagination a true anecdote from czarist rus sia illustrates the point nicely it cen ters on the difficulty that arose in the iblh certury vfrhen what is now the city of leningrad was being laid out a number of large rocks left by a glacier from finland had to be remov ed one big piece of granite lay right in the path of a main street and bids were advertised for its removal all the estimates submitted by con tractors were extremely high priced because in those days there was no mechanical equipment for this kind of job no hard steel for drilling or crack ing the stone and no explosives except inferior black powder before any of the bids were accept ed an insignificant looking peasant turned up and offered to get the boul der out of the way for a small fraction of the price quoted by the other can didates he was authorized to try hit luck he rounded up a lot of other peas ants with spades and they began dig ging a deep hole beside the rock meanwhile the rock was propped up to keep it from rolling into the exca vation when the hole was deep en ough the props were knocked out and the boulder dropped into it its been there ever since the rock was co vered with soil and the rest of the earth was carted away our historian doesnt mention how the contractors felt about the whole thincjijfjer the rock had been elimin- ated but we can guess jhallhaylmust have been somewhat embarrassed their difficulty resulted from thinking in two dimensions they planned to move the rock to some other place on the earths surface the peasant on the other hand thought of the third dimension as well that is up and down since he couldnt move the boulder up he put it under ground pktuafrm the pam theres one thing that brings poop to to gether and makos them forgot for a few hours at least all tholr normal rotten little miserable potty prlvato troublos that is a good smash in tho midriff from that gentle old lady mothor nature whether its fire or flood blizzard or drought a blunt reminder every so often from good old mothor has a salutary offect on the perpetually whining donlzens of tho twentieth century this tlmo it was that cold snap in january i like that form its a typical canadian understatement and wo delight in it as wo do at bam fires hoat spoils torrlblo thunderstorms beautiful autumns and throofoot snowfalls its peculiarly canadian and it makos us all become human again if only until its over pooplewhotiormally trudge around with a face ulco an old rubber boot people who wouldnt be caught dead in a ditch together suddenly start shouting witticisms like cold nuff for yon beaming through dripping noses and purple countenances people who wouldnt be caughf tspeaklng to each othor in the black hola4pcaieutta find they have a great doatln common neither could got his car startodthis morn ing then there are the braggarts but wo even put up with them whom wo would normally detest with the greatest of good spirits they come in different wrappers lets say its so below outside but thoros always tnmujr mtovotsumi of past masters op walk iooor up to 1m some character wholived in kapuskaslng or yellowknlfe who swears it was 80 below there all winter and wasnt even cold just refreshing hacking their lungs out they say this is nothing and theres the reverse snob through rattling teeth and hunched shoulders be too claims this is nothing why back in 59 it was down to 50 below and stayed there for a week then theres the rugged type pounding himself on tbe chest he burbles this i great this is the real canada this is what makes us a sturdy independent people three days later you get a card from him from florida two typesare hippy everything is golden when there is a cold snap tbey are the fuel man and the towtruck chap and bully for them say i but my point is that a nature crisis gets people out of themselves and perhaps its better than medicine in this neurotic 20th century forgotten during the cold snap are the vietnam war higher taxes on booze and fags your rotten boss and the fact that you cant live another week without an auto matic dishwasher there is a certain joyous drawing to gether against the olements and a definite pride in the fact that you can cope for once including sexpo there is a common bond as we rub our ears and stamp our feet and blow our noses in a great national chorus that to me expresses the real spirit of canada and at least temporarily freezes all thoughts of separatism divorce abortion and wfajes going to be tbe new lib eral leader when you go out tftihe morning and find that the battery is flat you dont fuss and cuss you feel sari of proud that youre taking part in a heroic adventure you know youre not exactly scott oftheantarctlcand that you can phone a cab bat you know that all over town other cars are going argb- argh arh ab uhnn and it gives you a sense of shared dancer and hardship theres a tingling and a
