HARD WINTER AHEAD? (Northern News Kirkland Lake) How's your weather prognosrticator working? Are we going to have a hard winter or a soft winter? Just about this time of the year folks beg-in predicting what the winter will bring in the way of weather and while guesses are many and varied, it's fun listening 'o them. Our favorite Indian says it's going to be a hard, tough winter. Well, he ism't out of line with the govern- ment economists in tfcat type of pre- diction. But he bases his assumption on the crop of berries. He maintains that's an infallible sign of a tough winter. Our favorite Indian isn't an unduly religious fellow but he figures things this way: "God," said he, "has an eye on> all his wild people especially the birds. So when the winter is going to be hard he tells the berry trees, like the Mountain Ash, to grow lots of berries for the birds. In that way they are taken care of. Look at the pine cones how large they are this year; more food for the birds. Look how the hazel tree is putting out plenty of nuts food for the squirrels and the little animals. And the swamp grass is longer this yea. than usual more food for the wild things." Well maybe there is something to the thoug'ht. In any case it's a nice philosophy and if some of us, in face of tough winters, and tough prob- lems, would place as much trust in God's providence, maybe we would be able to face the future with greater courage and infinitely more faith.
