Just received a postcard from our nomadic brother and his wife (Ralph and Ruth Malcolm) who are currently cavorting through the wilds of Italy, checking out all the ancient ruins they can find. Personally, wc could never get too excited about a bunch of old ruins, guess, wc are-not archeo- logically inclined.

Apparently, some folks have no sense of pride in their immediate surroundings. surroundings. Each year Mother Nature throws a curve and annually succours us into another goof. This year was no different. different. An old rural saw states emphatically emphatically not to believe Spring has arrived arrived until those spring-evening songsters - the frogs have been frozen frozen in three times. Not only have we not to date even heard one solitary Germil stmt his stuff vocally to his lady love, but if he got the cold shoulder it was from his lady love not the weather lady. Each autumn our Scottish instincts prevail and wc cart our choicest potted annuals down into our dark, dank cellar where they cither hibernate or die until the following following Spring. As usual on the first nice day of Spring wc in our wisdom or lack of it, lug the dormant and the deceased plants upstairs again to the great out- of-doors. Of course they do extremely extremely well as long as April showers persist persist - which isn'rtoo long. But when that Arctic blast returns, that's another another thing. Carry the hanging plants into the garage each evening and cover cover the rest. The net result is usually wc forget one evening, or else a cold snap arrives unannounced - and there goes your pride and joy. Congratulations to Mr. Merrill "Dimples" Van Camp of Blackstock on being presented recently with a 25 year Service award by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and on having this smiling countenance grace the pages of The Canadian Statesman - "large as life and twice as beautiful".
