Finally, as the long funeral cortege reached the crossmarkâ€" faithfully In other rooms, in other houses, in other places, the first snowfall sets off grumblâ€" ings and complainings. The motâ€" orist visualizes stalled cars and frozen fingers; the homeâ€"owner sees Winterâ€"lengthening paths to clear, lanes to shovel; the breadearner thinks of fuel bills. All this may be very real but it is very much walking through life looking at the ground. One has to but raise one‘s eyes to realize that this first snow is a feast of beauty come to the barren desolation of November in the Northern Hemisphere. Sense the Magic My children, sublime sensory perceptors as only children are, quickly sense the magic upon the day. They dress and dash for the doors. And I would go with them. But musâ€" n‘t. All earth in a frurry of prepâ€" arations, in the slowing of sap and falling of leaves, in the dyâ€" ing of gardens and the stilling of waters, has awaited this meeting with the first snow, this changing of the seasons. The human organism reacts in subtle mysterious and subconâ€" scious ways and I, repeating the patterns of childhood deâ€" light, know that nothing can go wrong with this day. I proceed to the day‘s work but my mind goes back to the snows of home. Like a child‘s, my thoughts dash to skis and skates and toboggans and I want to get them out immedâ€" iately although I know I shall find little time for snowâ€"frolic. The first snow still excites me. I rise in the morning and the rooms have a strange new lightness and I know beâ€" fore I go to the window that the world will lie white. A tremendous peace comes. With the snow, beauty comes to the dull formalized rows of suburbia. The bare lines of the suburban boxes are softened by snow, by frillis along the winâ€" dowâ€"sills and shadows . and drifts on the roofs. The funcâ€" tionless, footâ€"high and privacyâ€" begrudging little hedge â€" rows are suddenly fair, their arms full of snow. The tooâ€"trim ornâ€" amental evergreens, laden with large slumbering flakes, might now be mistaken for little trees France once stopped by. _ _ Beauty comes to the heart SPARKS by willis Forbes The Season‘s First Snow Ethics are like children â€" alâ€" has them, and they are all difâ€" Rosedaie Plastics International Limited of Toronto is producing a group of eyeâ€"catching, yet practical toys that are especially muall boy» gan‘t resist the urge to take a toy apart the moment they receive it.

The drive for survival has sharpâ€" ened the Eskimo‘s perception so that like an artist, he sees snow in many lights abstracted from past experiences. But even an individual growâ€" ing up in the snowâ€"belts of the world, in the Ottawa Valley as I did, grows to know snow in many ways. Winter is long in the Ottawa Valley.

I have stood in March on a skiâ€"trail and listened and heard far off down under the snow, the first tricklings of a Jittle creek, harbinger of another season.
