limit placed on the rural areas The rural dusters csn grow by residential units or by doubling existing she which ever Is less While this was part of the previous official plan the amendment allows a cluster to grow by more than double to a maximum of 30 unit if certain conditions are met in cluding 1 that the community will retain the character Intended for a rural cluster that a change to hamlet designation is considered unnecessary 3 that the growth can be Justified because of lack of growth potential in other local rural dusters Blot said in one of hi poems that the crosses month 1 wont go into the symbolism of the whole thing but I can imagine the banker airing by a fire in his Lon don looking out at the ram and writing tines tike that fuU of bidden allusion that drive teachers and students crazy certainly true of Canada where he never lived the old hypocrite April in this country can be the cruellest month of the year when you get a snowstorm Just after planting your begonias or whatever you plant But for Canadians I would like to para phrase the quotation and suggest thst October is the coolest month And I mean in the sense of temperature I mean like you know dig In the language of the Sixties October is like well you know I mean real cool If it behaves itself If It does it can be a golden on the fruits of our labors the yellow sun slanting through the foliage of an artist gone mad the hackneyed nip in the air that makes you hustle through washing under your arms If it behave itself it can be a dreary sodden Introduction to November which should be dropped from the calendar as far as Im concerned except far Remembrance Day Its a holiday Im writing this in the hope that springs eternal that this October will be one of the golden ones Days of sun and blue sky Nights drawing in to give a feeling of snug comfort without a blizzard howling around the eaves Its a month that I think accords more closely with the Canadian psyche than any other A strange time of rest after labor and girding of the loins for whats to come Happy October Wall orchards of Ontario In the prime land of the apples are either gathered or being eaten the rich spurt of Juice flying over ulder at the first crisp bite In the prairies theres a great sigh of relief or groan of despair as harvesting ends and the farmer tots up the endless hours of labor and makes the decision whether to go south for the winter or go bankrupt Its a time for that final attempt to break Won the golf course to shoot a duck just one this year please Lord or to catch a rainbow trout same retrain For old people its a time of mists and mellow of a little walk in the last of the lingering sun combined with tinge of fear for the coming ordeal For adolescents Its a romantic In terlude between the madness of summer and the madness of winter Its a time for falling in love last years Infatuation obliterated by this years anticipation A time of holding hands and bunting like calves on the street comer before the girl heads for home and dreary parents and dreadful siblings In the Annapolis Valley in tiS in the For little kids its great month School hasnt yet become boring theres still some light to play In the leaves after supper and winter though farthest from their thoughts ia no grim enemy What about thereat of us Well there are such diverse Joys as Tall fairs auction sales putting on the storm windows starting again the silly social life that picks up In the fall raking the blasted leaves wondering if the old furnace will bold out for another year and viewing all the horrible new premeers of TV shows while we deplore the cancelling of our old favorites Its certainly no time for falling In love Many marriages almost flounder in Octo ber as the wife worries and nags and the husband keeps sneaking off to fish or hunt or golf and neglecting the caulking the wood to be split for the fireplace the leaves to be raked the bills to be paid But a pretty good month as a rule I wonder what it will be like this October in Canada Not so good I would think for a great many people Were into a depression and call it what you like its a fact A lot of men and women are out of Jobs
