... WITH IRENE

There’s one good thing about
ing up with the gods... we are on
intimate terms with the birds.

The other day I called for Elaine
and Clive to come and See the beau-
tiful big birds swinging on the
branches outside the kitchen \
dow. They were fat yellow and black

birds with a pale green beak. “I
wonder what they are?” I said.
“Oh, they look like \

crossbills,” said the editoi
quick double-take and said
was that again?” “Wa: ‘in
eressbills,” he repeated casually.

Well, here I was nurturing a bud-
ding orthinologist
and didn’t know
it. I had visions
of Clive decked
out lik one of
Norris’ caricatur-
es of the Victoria &
Bird - Watching
Society and the
idea was slightly :
hilarious. MES —

It turned out that the wax-winged
‘rossbill is a common sight on the
prairies where Clive was born and
brought up.

Several years ago I deplored the
fact that pumkin was put up in n
large cans you either made
four pies or threw half of the can
away. I was very pleased to find the
other day that at least one manufac-
turer is producing a smaller can
that holds just enough for one pie.

Another change I would like to

cans of juice. There is nothing more
frustr than to open the fridge
holdin in one hand and try
to hang on to a full heavy na oF
juice with the other. I've dropped
them more than once. How
shaping them like a milk bottle? Im-
possible I guess.

Tl bet you thought I wasn’t going
to bore you with an account of our
first trip of the season to Chimney
Lake. Well, either prepare to he
bored, or quit reading for we actual-
ly made the momentous trip over
the long weekend.

On the way out, we all felt keen
disappointment to see that the log-
ging firms had crept up to the road

on either side for about a mile, the)

bare stumps and fallen trees litter-
ed the countryside.

We wondered why the Forestry
Department could not attempt. to
preserve some of the beauty of our
country by forbidding the cutting of
trees any nearer than 100 feet of a
road. At least then the motorist
would not e to shudder ai the
ravages of industry.

Shortly after we arrived, Clive
and my brother Byran, who was vis-
iting from New Westminster over
the weékend, made a quick trip up
the lake to see if our cabin was still

standing.

They came bounding into onr
cabin at Mitchell's a little later
shouting

There's a range war on.” 2
tumult had died down, I found out
that the fence around the cabin had
been cut in two places. Hours of
speculation of to why, how and wher
it was done failed to solve the riddle,
‘and we are still in the dark as to why
anyone would do the dastardly deed.

Our tiny maple seedlings that we
planted with loving care last fall
have rewarded us with a measure of
success. Ont of 54 ‘trees’ planted.
25 have taken root and are bus
out tiny green leaves. After ex
ing to find 54 dead seedlings, we
were quite pleased. |

Although the weather left a gr
dealt to be desired, the fish co-oper-
ated and donated four of their num-
ber to the chilly fishermen.

Above the road around Felker
Lake there are two dilapidated log
cabins that seem on the point .of
collapse. e weeds growing
from the roofs and there are no

printed a sign which pointed to one
of the wrecks and it said briefly
“Stangoe’s Summer Home.” We had
a good langh at our own expense,
and are conducting a poll to see who
visited the Felker-Chimney Lake area
over the weekend.

Only once on our numerous trips
back and forth ,to Chimney Lake
have we heen delayed for any rea-
son. And that was last year when we
gol stuck in a big mud-hole and Fel-
kers kindly pulled us out.

A big truck loaded with lumber
had broken down and was_ nicely
tuck right in the middle of a small
hil with no possible way of getting
around it, The men went back up
he road to get the services of a

small “te: t was grading the
deep ruts into the semblance of a

we sat by the side of the road in the
warm sunshine and collectively bit
our fingernails. My brother was
slated to leave on the 5 p.m. plane.
It seemed an eternity before the
aU’ averaging five miles an hour
finally chugged into view, and re-
moved the offending truck. We fol-
lowed close behind and then wasted
no time getting into town.

We made it with minutes to spare.
