Birdsong rides on the warm breeze in the ccves, and the crocus pishes its way out of the winter-liberated earth with a triumphant abandonment. One of the delights of spring is that it comes when most needed. The exuberance of the April rain fa joyous and cleansing. It is glorious to see the housetops get their spring clean in g and the forsythiak golden faces being washed. Rain always brings with it special smells, sights and feelings. It is a rare treat to watch a goldfinch, yellow as candlelight, enjoying a bath in a rain puddle. Birds seem to love the rain. They sing special, damply boisterous, rain songs, liltingly melodious. Each month has its special talents and obligations. It is given to April to be the most joyous and longed -for of all the twelve. April is the harbinger of spring-the renewer of life and the surity of resurrection. * The community of Colbert's Creek wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to Mr. Archie Loftis, who filled in a dump with his bulldozer that was in great need of attention in the community.
