ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
Your ambitious mood may not
go over well with loved ones on
the 8th. Go over the work
you've done and make sure
you're totally pleased before
you present it to your boss on
the 9th, 10th and 11th. Don’t
be afraid to discuss your goals
with a superior. Delays or up-
sets due to transportation dif-
ficulties may put a snag in.
your plans on the 12th and

y Your partner may

ons that absolutely

§furiate you on the 9th, 10th

© and 1ith. Put your efforts in-

to money-making ventures on

the 12th and 13th and don't

trust others with secret infor-
mation.

GEMINI (May 21-June
21) You can expect to have
some problems with your
mate on the 8th if you have
been spending too much time
away from home. Your mind
will not be on the job on the
9th, 10th and 11th. Don’t get
intimately involved with a
client or co-workers. You will
be fatigued on the 12th and
13th if your mate has put you
through an emotional wringer.
Put all thoughts of work out of
your head on the 14th.

CANCER (June 22-Jduly
22) If you take on too much
you will find yourself in a mar-
tyrs position on the 8th once
again. You will be drawn to
events that concern children
on the 9th, 10th and 11th and
new relationships will evolve
through group activities. Don’t
take the foolishness of some-
one else to heart on the 12th
and 13th. Go about your busi-
ness and your professionalism
will shine through.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Get out and enjoy an enter-
taining evening with friends
or your lover on the 8th. You
can expect opposition from
family as well as colleagues on
the 9th, 10th and 11th. You are
best to keep your ideas to
yourself. Drastic changes in
your domestic scene may
cause you to re-evaluate your
motives and needs on the 12th
and 13th. Secret love affairs
must be avoided on the 14th,
your reputation is at stake.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You can make favorable real
estate offers on the 8th. Visit
friends that you don’t get to
see that often on the 9th, 10th
and 11th. You may be a little
unraveled on the 12th and
13th if you are confronted with
emotional lems that your
mate is experiencing. Try to
compromise if possible. The
14th will be progressive if you
get involved in worthwhile or-
: ganizations.

‘ ere

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Travel and educational pur-
suits will help alleviate stress
on the 8th. You always seem to
spend more than you make.
It’s time to consider putting
money into long ter invest-
ments on the, @th, 10th and
11th. You cam pick up valuable
informaaiion on the 12th and
13th if you listen to those with
gnore experience. You will be
frazzled on the 14th if you
don’t take time to relax and
enjoy yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) The 8th is not the best day
to visit relatives that get on
your nerves. Doa little inves-
tigation on the 9th, 10th, and
11th if there is someone you
work with that you don’t trust.
You may have problems with
family members on the 12th
and 13th if you refuse to do
things their way. You will have
the energy to accomplish your
goals on the 14th.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) Do not sign contracts
or get involved in dubious fi-
nancial deals on the 8th. You
may find that female col-
leagues will be more help than
you anticipated on the 9th,
10th and 11th. Don’t try to
make changes in your person-
al life on the 12th and 13th.
You may find yourself a little
confused. You will feel like a
weight has been lifted off your
shoulders on the 14th, howev-
er the stress you have encum-
bered has played its toll.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) Opportunities to
make money on the 8th may
interfere with your personal
plans. Be prepared to jump
quickly if you wish to stay in
he forefront of your industry
on the 9th, 10th and 11th. You
will do best to entertain those
that you wish to close deals
with. You will be quick tem-
pered if someone has let you
down on the 12th and 13th.
You should consider taking a
break. Don’t trust a deal that
looks too good on the 14th.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) The advice you get on
the 8th may be based on false
information. You may jump
from the frying pan into the
fire if you make a move on the
9th, 10th and 11th. Someone
may not be thinking of your
best interests. You can be sure
that others will take note of
your impeccable style on the
12th and 13th.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)
You will enjoy getting together
with friends on the 8th. You
will need an outlet on the 9th,
10th and 11th so get into phys-
ical endeavors that will help
you relieve your tension. Your
best efforts will come from re-
decorating, renovation or resi-
dential moves on the 12th and
13th.

Telltale

A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint of the
cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing
high
‘And all over upland and
lowland
The charm of the goldenrod
Some of us call it Autumn
And others call it God.
—W.H. Carruth
Each in His
Own Tongue
I was just debating on
which of the many beautiful
tributes to autumn I might use
— Shelly: “The day becomes
more solemn and surreal...” or
Keats: “Season of mists and
mellow fruitfulness ... ” or
Houseman: “The beautiful and
death-struck year...” when a
great vee of Canada geese flew,
shouting southward down the
river. It was an omen and so
you get this more unfamiliar
Carruth.
Besides, I had just come
back from my regular dog walk
around the island, all green

and gold and silence in keep-
ing with the season. Once
again I looked my last on all
things lovely every hour and
noted that out-of-town visitors
to the now closed Chapel
House had agreed in their
written comments on the sign-
in sheet with my own admit-
tedly prejudiced evaluations of
the place — ‘beautiful’, ‘lovely’,
‘serene’.

Billie-Jean Price and Ken
Syrja were joined in mar-
riage Aug. 15 at St. Peters
Lutheran Church in a cere-
mony officiated by Rev.
Backus.

Billie-Jean wore a white
satin drop waist gown with
a sequin-beaded bodice.
The full-length lace sleeves
with pearl accent and lace-

ins Syrja
ing vows

appliqued train added to the
dress’ beauty. The bride was
escorted down the aisle by
her mother Betty, as guests,
including Ken’s parents
Toni and Chiyo Syrja,
looked on.

Billy-Jean and Ken moved
to Sparwood following their
honeymoon in  Coeure
D’Alene.

or two, while a belted kingfish-
er did a balancing act on one of
the guy wires. No sign of the
beavers in the pond, however,
nor the resident great blue
heron on a sand bar for the wa-
ter has dropped too low for
good fishing in the pools.

The mossy legions of mists
are pouring out of the cleft of
the Kootenay then hurrying
purposefully across the flank
of the mountain toward Trail.
It never ceases to stir my soul.

Soon, with the coming of the
frosts, the river wraiths, tall,
gliding columns of vapor (spir-
its of the drowned dead) will
dance and sway slowly and
solemnly over the cold surface
of the river in the early morn-
ing then I will know that win-
ter’s here.

As‘I make the return trip
via the now resurfaced cause-
way and look at the mud flats
more than twenty five feet be-
low, I find it difficult to realize
that four months ago this place
was araging Niagara, roaring
torrent. A reminder of our own

impotence.

A solitary row calls discon-
solately from an almost naked
birch — a single voice which
serves to underline the silence.

When I left home, half an
hour ago, “Flash” the new red
squirrel, had been racing
through the nearby silver
birch and bringing back the
long rope-like catkins into the
bird feeder.

Our first resident red squir-
rel, “Chatterer” whom you
may remember, died of old age
sometime in December. We
found his mummified little
body at the bottom of the wood
pile, surrounded by a deep
mass of pine cones and husks
of his summer and fall har-
vesting.

Our new and youthful resi-
dent, to our considerable joy,
appeared quite suddenly in
mid-April and has been going
nose to beak with the Steller
jays ever since for territorial
rights on the covered bird feed-
er. So far it has been a draw.

winter’s fast approach

that small, perky creature
takes a quick sip of water from
the water dish or a quick nib-
ble on an unsalted peanut or
sunflower seed to restore his
energies.

A little while ago he took a
break from the harvest by
leaping to the big fir tree on
the other side of the feeder and
raced away to his nest in a dis-
tant bird house. I took advan-
tage of his absence to peek into
the feeder. To my amazement,
I found that he had stooked
those catkins like sheaves of
grain over heaps of sunflower
seeds. Presumably they'll dry
out there and then be hidden
in some safe winter larder.

Truly the autumn time has
many dimensions. Just now a
great vee of Canadas again
flew over the house — honking
and headed north. Surely they
are confused or perhaps like so
many of us, they cannot leave
Castlegar.

In the meantime the tale of
a tour continues to be contin-
ued.
