SPRING, SNARE AND DELUSIOn

A long-haired poet some time aga warb1ed a few lines about ''spring gentle spring." going into rhapsodies about the green grass, budding flow. CTS, chirping birds or somethin'. To- morrow's the first day of Spring, ac- cording to the calendar, and you might naturally think that today would at least show an indication of the nice warm soft air that accom- panies buds and green grass.
 But do we get it? Not by several tons of snow and sleet! Rain, s1eet, hail, snow, slush, mugginess! Spring There ain't any such animile! For poets past and future that ramble and gurgle over the delights of spring, and for those misguided beings who in calendars mark March q as the first day of Spring; to all of these in- dtvidually and collectively we hand the good old-fashioned Connecticut 'trawspberry.
