The signs of spring come slow- ly and fitfully in these northern latitudes but when with one seemingly mighty heave the lake bursts open and the waves rollin then only do we know that the time has really come to think about the things that tradtion says we must do at this time of the year, Most traditional of all is just sitting anywhere looking at the lake and this is a reminder to get at it. We feel a deep sor- row for those who do not live on the water: Englehart Constable Comes to Haileybury Vonstable E. M.
