WINTER Esther Dyck Grade. XII When tranquil Winter softly comes to sow Her welcome crop of peace, ’mid thorns of strife. With feath’ry diamond-studded seeds of snow, Like twinkling stars, or eyes in love with life; Oft e’er those seeds have firmly taken root. The savage storms and winds — that season’s bane — Assail serenity, destroy, and loot. Then trace their footsteps back and strike again; But when that melancholic storm has gone, And all debris — storm-gathered — swept away. The seeds of peace have conquered night, and dawn Greets Winter’s white horizon with the day; First calm, then storm, then the calm repeated o’er, Much greater, deeper, purer than before. HITCH HIKING by David Kirk, Grade XI When sunny days and cool nights once more make young people itch for something to break the monotony of summer holidays at home, don’t despair. Many air-castles we teen-agers build in the lazy hours of a boring afternoon are not as im¬ possible as they usually seem. One of these is the longing to travel abroad and see the world. Hitch hiking is the simple solution I should like to discuss with you. A trip to a cherished part of our large country to camp, fish, visit a relative or to make new friends can so economically and easily be done by sticking out one’s thumb. This is also an ideal way to become more self-reliant. Last spring’s mosquito plagues convinced my younger brother and me that we would set out for the Rockies where we ex¬ pected to be able to sit on a lonely mountain without a blood¬ thirsty misquito for company. To give you an idea of how fast hitchhiking can be, I can relate that we started at 9 in the morning and bedded down at Swift Current. The next night we slept under a grove o( cedars in a small town near Trail, British Columbia. The refreshing climate and scenery of B.C. certainly was worth the few hardships of hitchhiking there. Finally, we could see the Pacific Ocean and feel the crisp air up on a lofty mountain. Cool nights under myriads of stars, watching the icy moon roll over dark mountain peaks and listening to the mournful whistle of a distant train are thrills I will never forget. We could think of that stuffy little bed¬ room back home. How glad, we were that we had come to this paradise. The rich pine odour encouraged us to breathe deeply and en joy life. That was living! Of course, there are always some less thrilling experiences, but even these can add life to a homesick wanderer abroad. Our first unfavourable experience came at Banff. We were on our way to Lake Louise when an R.C.M.P. took us to headquarters back in Banff. There they confined us to a little cold room while they radioed and phoned home to check whether we had run away. You can imagine our grin when they allowed us freedom 8 hours later without the slightest hint of an apology! People on campgrounds are generally quiet, making the probability of being robbed small. Apparently someone needed a pullover at one campground though, but that’s all we lost. Hitchhiking across the border requires one to have at least a pocket full of money and a letter from his parents. When a Montana custom’s officer discovered we were fondling the idea of hitchhiking to San Diego, California, with $20 between us, he tossed some oranges at us and ordered us back to Canada. Being sociable is very important to make a gay trip. A number of people we met stretched things a little the other way. One cold night after the caretaker had made a great deal of noise in chasing us out of a campground kitchen, we went to sleep under the trees again. At midnight my brother awoke on some rough gravel beside a road about 100 yards from where he had gone to sleep. He got up and drowsily tripped back over the ropes of other campers’ tents and dropped off to sleep grumpier than ever. We never did catch the prankster! Another morning my brother built a huge fire just for the sake of seeing a fire. It wasn’t very long before I straightened in alarm. I glanced at my shoes near the fire and sure enough — a cloud of ugly black smoke curled above the half-burned shoes. But again this was no problem. I just rolled up my pants and was a good old-fashioned hobo with bare feet the next few days. We continued cheerful as ever. Hitchhiking far into the unknown may seem dangerous, but our experience was about as smooth as it would have been back home. Here in Canada where there is help at almost any door you knock, hitchhiking can be a very economical and enjoyable vacation. Why not join the happy wanderers in the scintillating life of a hitchhiker?
