SIGNS OF SPRING
Having looked the matter
over from all angles we have dec
ided that Spring, that seductive
maiden, is peeking around the
corner at us and is about to pou
nee on us in joyful surprise.
True, the snow clad atmosph
ere and recent snowfalls seem to
belie the idea and old timers shake
their heads and tell in ponder
ous words of wisdom how, in
former years, Old Bory descend
ed in great fury and wrapped
his mantle of ice on the country
side just when things looked
most hopeful. But we do not base
our predictions upon such simple
signs as these but closely obser
ve the actions of human beings
to form our opinions
It may be noticed that the
old prospectors are emerging
from their winter caches and
corning from hither and yon with
the winter stake in their jeans
and a pensive eye fixed on dist
ant hills where little specks of
gold and silver beckon them to
“come and play”. Feet are grow
ing itchy and once again "Hope
springs eternal”.
For a true, honest-to good
ness indication of Spring the old
prospector has all other indicat
ions of nature bached into obliv
ion.

trees and lots of patches of bana
nas.
There are hills and moun
tains with green forests. The
Filipinos’ school has only one
story and it stands on posts as
high as our heads.
They make their roofs out
of palm leaves. They maks their
houses on top of posts because
it raines lots in the Philippine
Islands. The hogs and ponies
sleep under the houses. They
have a big piece of hollow bamboo.
It is like a pipe with a cork in
the bottom. This is their water
bucket.They ride on water buf
faloes. The water buffaloes work
in the rice fields.
