columns regularly finding in their own hearts a response to the thoughts and feelings I have ‘tried to express. NO SURE ANSWER

Writers of every degree of im- pottance ‘and mine is of the slightest) have asked themsel- ves the same question—prompt- ed not only by vanity’but a de- sire to imptove their work. Rt would be cn to take an ac-| ceptance from wh editor as proof | that a good portion of the read-| ers of a particular publication | do enjoy the contribution but even that doesn’t tell the story. Or ‘how could it happeniand it does happen) that an article (or

}

| story) rejected by one, two, three

| or more editors ends up by winn-.| ing praise and a check from still | another editor?

Or more clearly in case of a} book, if acceptance or rejection | were a sure gauge of reader re- action, books considered “‘sure | flops’ by a number of publishing houses could never win fortunes for the authors and for the pub- lishers who finally accepted them! Strange. isn’t it, that the | human brain capable of sending rockets into outer space has so far failed to invent a way of measuring the effect of a piece of writing! | EASY ONCE

Once upon a time, howéver,— | even so short a period as twenty years ago on the Island, I could have been reasonably certain | that a column like mine would be |read by almost everyone who bought a “Guardiag‘! How? Be cause almost everyone read al- most every word in it! Old Tim- ers have told me so! Not that they like everything they read! Remember days when the “Forum” fairly sizzled?

And we little folk of the earth, | jfeel more and less aachored firmly in the clay of the farming, with a oe of a single mile | as our yardstick of measures, | grow bewildered at the thous- ands and millions of them spah- ned in the unerring flight and turn of this latest rocket and its importance in the light of future space-travel.

“If nations would cease firing rockets—who with a tidy Island | farm to tend would want to take | a trip to the moon or the other planets anyway!”

“T believe we'd get better weather than we've been having” we overheard one of a pair of old-timers of farmers offer today looking off over the fields where | danced restless snow flurries.

“It’s only reasonable to sus-_

;jpect that they must be interfer-

ing with natural cloud format- the other nodded. -‘‘And aren't they getting queer weath- er, mostly all over the worki?” |

“It seems so’’ the first said) soberly. “We just can’t know! how much harm those rockets are doing. At any rate it’s stran-{ ge weather for the time of year | —this continuing frost and cold} we've been getting.” ”

At Alderlea, the winds chased | the flurries along the rises of the | valley, shaping them into low| drifts of purest white marble to’ lie in the lee of the hedgerows! and about. The millstream, | caught icily now in part, showed

| darkly between engagingly moul-> itded white banks : '

Lighted windows .in stables and piggeries denote the farmers at the choring, to leave | the animals snug and confortab- | le for this night. forecast to be) “continuing cold.” '

We have put a barky stick of | apple-wood on the fire to be “witches wood’ to allow us dream favors, and most of all | this winter night to envision in | -the burning. the pink and white

bowers of Spring orchards, the joys of the seedtime and the swallows’ return. '

“And don't think’ James smil- | ed happily at the thought today “The winter’s not slipping away!

As this day has also, so surely. - Until ‘tomorrow—Diary—-Good night.
