“Why  aren’t there

any
Canadian novels? I never seem to
find any in the Library.’’ So goes

a typical complaint. we
Librarians often hear. And. we
can only agree. There are, in-
deed, very few Canadian works of
fiction, and even fewer. of high
literary quality. But there are
some. around. Following is a
sampling of Canadian fiction well
worth reading, and available

Saanich Branch of the Regional

SUPERSTITIOUS.’’,. sneered a
man friend the other day. as I
stood still on. Beacon Avenue to
let a black cat cross my path.
“Bet you don’t even know. why
black cats are lucky!’’ I didn’t -
so quickly changed the subject.
And then, that afternoon at the
library, there staring out at me
from the shelves, commanding

“Read Me’’, was. Raymond
Lamont Brown’s ‘‘A Book of
Superstitions”’

.. Do spiders: make you
shudder? Me, too, but “if you
wish to live and thrive, let a
spider run alive.”’ And next time
one drops on you from the ceiling,
don’t faint (are you kidding?) .-
it's a sign that a legacy is coming
your way. People actually used to
swallow the little eight-legged
ugh-ers - and their webs - to cure
ancient things like ague (chills to
you!).and jaundice.

If you think mice-are. not
‘quaite naice’, think again. Folk-
lore has it that ‘human souls
leave the body in sleep, and enter
and control mice!’ Who knows,
the next mouse you trap might be
your husband.

Bees are believed to know what.
the: future holds,.and did you
know they they try to avoid living

‘near a house where people do a
lot of arguing. So, if you like
honey, Honey, be sweet to your
spouses, siblings. and
sweethearts! Maidens; it~ was
said, could walk safely through a
swarm of bees. (Note to Bee-
Keepers: perhaps you don’t need
to lock up your daughters, after
all!)

Your favourite fruit: and veg.
may be saturated with super-
stition. Oranges, for example,
are still sometimes called love-
fruit by the cognoscentii (don’t
ask me how you spell that!) -

picked orange blossoms to pretty-
up weddings.

The reckless Romans: loved
Lettuce. They thought it a cure
for. drunkenness, and ‘hoped it
would give them extra energy for
‘those orgies. (It just gives me
indigestion! )

‘Children used. to. rub. onien

to deaden the sting of the school-
cane. Any woman who grew a lot

sidered strong-willed, and one
man decimated his wife’s sage-
plot, so people wouldn’t think she
was boss!
