PAID YOUR DUES?

ASIDESBy A. L. ANSTEY

With the advent of fall we all readand hear reasons for welcoming it. Thereseem to be as many people to extol itsvirtues as there are words to describethem.

In Cordova Bay we are surrounded byall the usual features but we have anadded ingredient. Perhaps I should saysomething is subtracted. In any casethere is a switch.

To make this switch one thing is sub­tracted and another added. In our switchthe added ingredient lacks a characteris­tic of the subtracted one. (Is this becom­ing very confused ?). Well, I was aboutto say that this missing factor in the equa­tion causes me to welcome autumn moreheartily.
