there is a tendency as we start pushing 40 and 40 starts pushing back to don rosecoloured glas ses every tifne we look back at our childhood this is one of the more disgusting symptoms of approach ing senility and should be rests ted stoutly for example i was thinking of writing a column about the 24th of may it was going to be nostalgic and saccharin what a grand cele bration tho 34th uted to be what pity theyve changed tho data to th naarost or farthest or something monday and lost all tho signific ance of tho holiday how tho kids nowadays dont have as much fun as wo did on tha 24th of may fortunately seeking a little ex tra background i asked my wife what she did when she was a kid on the 24th nothing she replied sadly but sensibly realized that what i d been about to write was pure piffle there wasn t any great celebration on the 24th when i was a kad it was just a welcome holiday and no kid i ever knew cared two firecrackers for old queen victoria whafs moro kids nowadays have just as much fun as wo ovor did only theyre a hthe moro so phisticated about it looking back all i can remember about tho 24th is going around att day hoofing because i couldnt buy all tho fire works i wanted and going to bed that night with a coupl of burned fingers and a singed eyebrow or two that is exactly what my kids do so they must be having just at much fun as i did in the third place i think its an excellent idea to move the 24th to the preceding monday when a holiday has no significance in uk history or tradition of a nation at least let s have it fall on monday and make a long weekend of it long weekends help reduce the surplus population as scrooge put it tho whole conception of noli days in this country is sorely in need of a major overhaul 1 m a groat believer in holidays but ours are as haphazard as the political system weve inherited under our present setup they are not only poorly arranged but scanty some of our months are all right iri julj of course we hac that teat national holiday that stirs the blood of even canadian the firt of juh august has civic holiday september gies us lab our day and october is rich with thanksgiving but how about that thirty of mm most dismal and de pressing days in tho year and not a holldy to lighten tho gloom why not call a holiday for th se cond monday in november we could name it last call for storm windows day in december we have christ mas boxing day and only a week later new years day fine we need them all but long dark and cold loom january and february without a break m either of them we should stick a couple of man day holidays in there in january we could celebrate that ceremony that is rapidly gaining popularity in canada and have packing for florida daj february could be broken up nicely by moving valentinos day to tho nearest monday and calling it love day there isn t a single day in tho year set aside for love w could love our neighbours our wives our children our neighbors wives and anybody else who was in the mood it would certainly liven up dull old feb march and april get tricky with faster but if easter came in ap rtl could we not have a monday hohda in march called march
