According to the calendar, we are
just about on the edge of Spring-
which is usually the busiest reason
of the year. Apartment dwellers arc
plowing their window boxes, house
cleaning becomes a major offensive
and young lovers walk around like
something out of, a Disney Silly
Symphony. Poets rip off a sonnet
or two that starts. O Spring!"
- while heads of families rip off a
check or two for Spring outfits and
mutter. "Oh, gosh!"—or a reason-
able facsimile. Squirrels and bears
come out ol hibernation and even
the ants are sending out scouting
expeditions to look for picnics.
In Redwood City, Calif., a seal
. left the ocean and appeared in
town Probably It wanted to show
off its new Spring coat in the Eas-
ter Parade.
