— YOU KNOW ME BY : Al, Himself —BS Here it is five weeks after the start of spring according to the calendar and we haven't had en- ough warm weather to melt all the snow off the mountains back: of the Lake. We are not one to talk or think much about the weather, in fact we've been called the crown prince of philosophers on that sub- ject. - Often when nature gave us -a badly needed gentle summer rain and persons would complain about it we'd always take the weather man’s part, but this cold spell is getting us down. The ice broke up on the lake early enough, the tenth of April, but a heavy slush stuck around for a week or more, and then when it ~ all melted, we had cold nights that formed a film of the ice on four different occasions. The daffodils, tulips and jon- ~quils stuck their heads up through the ground, probably because they © go by calendar time, but have since curled their leaves downward and ~ like us, have given up. Even the forsythia is discouraged. The robins chirped for a day or two and now look as forlorn as ~if it were late September. . The sun comes out at 10 o'clock about once a week, but in an hour is looking for a nice dark cloud to ~ hide in, soon finds it, and stays there for the rest of the day. There were times, in other years, when a storm rose over the entire east, that persons in the office - would kid us about how terrible it must be at the lake, and we could always say, ‘it's just the same in the valley”, but we must confess that this year the weather ~at the lake has been more than terrible. When we planted our sweet peas we had to work through a foot crust of frozen ground, and prior to this we never burned a leaf, always turning them under into the soil of our garden, but this so-called spring, nature’s best fert- ilizer is heaped up and a match is set to the pile. We dislike writing this column, as we know our relatives in the south will gloat. Every time they write us a letter, or we get them on the telephone they tell us how cold it is up north and what beau- tiful warm, sun shining days they are enjoying down there. Previous to this we have always shrugged those remarks off with a laugh as the days up here were very en- joyable to us, but this year they are right. It’s c-o-1-d outside. Right now as we are writing this on April 24, it is snowing. We will kiss the winter good-by this year with glee. Right now, we are mad, for you see our coal is running out.
