PAGE ETONT - ...-' TEE CANAD!AN STATESMAN, BOWMANV!LL!. ONTAR!O ~ THURSDAY, APRIL 35tb, UO s - bY ELSIE CAREUTHEES LUNNEX ZASTEP SUNDAT Easter Suiýday - a iovely çvarm spring day. The church bells ring, the congregations gather and the great music of Easter rixes up from thousands of churches. The earth is beingc renewed in ail its beauty, and the human spirit too is resur- gent wlth hope. A deiire for new clothes after the long winter is natural we think, and the tradition cf. Easter eggs is time-honoured, more particularly in the paint- ed varlety than the chocolate version. But ini ail the hoopla, such as organized parades, on a sacred day, we see no cofl. nection with Easter at ail. It aseems merely another example of the commercialization of a Christian celebration which is rapidly being translated from sacred to secular terms. We feel, nevertheless, that there are still a great many people who feel something of the sacredness and the beauty of -the day, and that in spite of the promotions emphasizing secularization, the Christian as- FHGHÉLY STYLED MODERATELY PRICED LADIES' WEAR La Vogue' fJacquei'ine Cor.

Sheltcncd from the breeze, the day was anc bornowcd from summen. The poplars, at least four different kinds, were ail in blossom in their drooping catkins; pussy willows wceecverywhcre and marsh manigolds stood in 'the wct, some *already showing ycl- low buds. On a sunny bank were little blue violets in the grass, and anc plant o! delicate hepaticas. We bent down ta catch that light, sweet fragrance. Pools o! water rcflected the spring bloc sky with its white puffs of saiiing claud. In the thickets and the high trees were the birds, moviing swiftly afd happily. Ail araund wcne the small little sangs so hard ta identify, and anc beau- tiful dlean sang which wc didn't know at ail. What a wonderful way ta spend spring hours- if anc could only find cnough of them-watching thc birdls, identifying as many as passible, listening ta their sangs, ail in the warm sunny air that car- ries the light fragrance a! trcc biassoms. A numben o! species of tree-s blossom befone they put forth their leaves. The huge, grace- fui elms that farm sa typical a part o! our countny landscapc are now drooping with their rcd blossoms. Looking aver the valîcys one sees the tops a! some of the trees sho'wlng a faint, misty green. The leaf buds which have been s0 tight- ly curled against the colid have fairly shot forth in the warmth o! the last few days. What a beautiful countryside ours is with its rolling siopes, its valîcys and streams, its !arm lands and comfortabie barns with their good lines silhouet- ted against the sky, and enicir- dling ail, a rim o! blue hills. 0fnc sits in the sun on a bank above a rushing stream while a Cardinal in the top o! a giant wiliowA whistles loud and clear, and it is a good, gaod land. SECOND MAYFLOWER A replica o! the Mayflower is about ta sail from Plymouth, England, to Plymouth in the United States whcre she wili remain as a museum piece. It 1was in 1620 that the sailing ship carried the Pilgrim Fath- crs ta a new land. The May- flower II will depend entirely on sail for locomotion, but she is equipped with radia in case a! distress, and has the advan- tage o! charts showing known currents which the original did not have. The whole idea seems a further indication o! the in- crcasing importance being given ta historical events. In years ta came, thousands o! people wili go aver the littie ship and mar- vel at the courage o! their an- cestors wha set out in such small crafita make a home in the wilderness. RED FLANNEL AND A RECIPE FOR THE LIVER An aid day book bearing the name o! J. Elford & Ca., found by John Slemnon on bis store premises in Enniskiicen is datcd 1852 and contains much a! in- tcnest. The transactions are that o! a store in Hampton from 1852 for several years and are rccarded in the Engiish curren- cy o! paunds. Common 'items wene red flannel, currants, raisins and nutmeg, also buils eycs and plug tobacco. People wenc iden- tified thus. Peter Werry wif e, or Thomas Giliard Self, on Samuel Gregory Guini. Spell- ing was not aiways onthodox, as you notice in guiri. On Dec. 24 Mr. Elfard paid the school tax of 9/11, and in a list at the back ini fine cap- per plate script wc find a list o! notes payable including the City Bank, Toronto; Montreal [Bank, and Upper Canada Bank. "Paid" is inscribed opposite in equally beautiful script. Some o! the names noted thnaughout the book are Jos- eph Reynolds, Stephen Ho- garth, John Vcnness, Joseph Hawkey, Thomas Stonchouse, William Orchard. A "Receipt for the Liver" signed by Jonathan Elford, Ml. D. is o! interest. It advises, "Spnignet Root, Elecampane Root and Snake Root equal quantities and bail tagether about ten hours or until soft. Then paund Up fine and mix together with muscovad sugar tili thick like molasses. Take for a dose one teaspoon ful onc baîf haur before meais, or what the patient can bear. Set in a bottie, cork it tight and kcep in a cool place." We have given the spefling as it was. A couple o! the word; we are flot sure of sa it would be advisable ta cansuit a mod- ern day physician before mak- ing up this brew, especialiy as it says "what the patient can bear".

Rabb aur doors werc apencd ta wel- came visitars fromn other groups and «churches ta aour Easter warship service and ta hear aur special speaker. Group 3 wcre ini charge cf planning the evening and a!ter words o! wcicome by Barbara Passmare, a hymn was sung. Scripture lesson o! the Easter stary was read by Eileen Stecle and Vera Allin offered prayer. A ladies' quartette compqsed o! Mesdames Alldrcad, James and Merkley and Miss Eileen Spicer sang a lovely Easter number. Louchla Elliott gave some inspiring thoughts on the meaning o! this sacred seasan. Marion Jef!ery introduced the speaker o! the cvcnîng. Miss Constance Wagar of Peterboro, on funlough from St. Augus- tine's girls' high schoal in Trinidad. Miss Wagar who was wearing a beautiful brocaded native sari told us o! her work and ber great love for the cas- mopolitan races o! the island. She concluded her talk by showing a great variety o! cal- onfui films. Helen Peters spoke a word o! thanks ta Miss Wagar and lunch was served whcn a social time was spent. The trend in industry today is toward decentralization and location in smail tawns, Mayor Jack Burnet of Cobourg told a zone two meeting of the Lake Ontario Development Associa- tion in Hastings Wednesday evening. Mayor Burnet is the chairman of that zone. "Even, Ottawa is alarmed from an econamic standpoint, about the concentration of in- dustry around large centres," the meeting was told. *'These big cities, like Toronto and Montreal, are finding it increas- ingly difficuit to provide the services incidentai ta expan- sion." Plenty of Services He went on to say that the small municipality has enough services to support double their population and that these ser- vices can be expanded at a minimum cost. In industry itself there is a definite desire to move to smalier cities and towns he said. "Many small firms in large cities are operating on second and mostly third-class staff. They train their person- nel to a point where they are proficient on the job and the big firms grab them off witb higher paýv 50 that the small firm is just spending tîme and moncy ta train men for big cor- porations." Losing Advantage For the last ten years, Mn. Burnet went on ta say, indus- try has been concentrating around large cities. Any gain that there is ta be found in be- ing near their markets is coun- tered by the costs they mUst pay for services. He advised small towns ta be COURTICE On Good Friday evening the drama, "Christ in the Concrete City" presented at Ebenezer United Church bY the Christian Drama Club of Oshawa, under the auspices of the Sunshine Class was a reverent and cort- vincing interpretatian of th Easter story. The Easter m,e- sage from the arrest o! Jesuis until the Resurrection on Eas- ter Sunday was portrayed very forcibly with intermittent in- jections of conversation favor- able and not sa, which might be heard in the world in which we live taday. The wrapt atten- tion and quiet hush at the close were evidence of the approval o! the audience. Sunrise Service The Young People's Union were in charge of the Easter Sunrise Service at Courtice Un- ited Cburch . Mr. Archie Cour- tice and Mr. Bill Laird were assisted in the service by Rev. L. M. Somerville who stressed j two questions, "Who will ral us away the stane?" and "What if the Tomb had flot b.een Emnpty?" The chair under the direction of Mr. Frank Walters sang very appropriately "Seek- ing the Master". Sunday Sehool Sunday School was well at- tended with 159 pupils record- ed. Mn. Carl Adams, assistarnt superintendent, rcad the Scrip- ture passage, favorite Easter sangs and hymns were sung and Mrs. Carl Adams led ini prayer. A large congregation gather- cd again on Sunday evening to join in the Eastcr hymns and ta encourage the Junior Choir who wore new surplces, a gift o! the Senior Choir. A short dedication service for the sur- plices was most impressive, also the processional by the Junior Chair. The choir sclec- tions sung were, "He is Risen" by the Senior chair and "IChimes of Easter Day" by the Junior Choir. These selections made a very fitting background for the message which Rev. L. M. Somerville delivered. He based his remnarks on the text "He goeth before you into Galicee" in which he stressed "Followers o! Jesus" and what it involves., Mrs. Clarence Penfound was mon. _ _nrI optimistic. particulariy in this regiof, between Toronto and Montreal, twao!

"Smal firms belong in small munici- palities," the meeting was told, "and that's where they anc comif g." Ralph J Locke the former mayor a! Campbellford, and chairman o! a LODA commit- tee looking into highways sit- uation in zone one, reported after confcrring with Depant- ment of Highways officiais that Highways officiais that Highi. way 45 betwcen Roscncath and Hastings would be finishcd this ycar. Howcver, he said, High- way 30 from Campbell!ord ta, Havclock and on north would fat be finished as work was being pressed on Highway 401. Dcveiop Harbor There is a -movemeént afoot with LODA ta cventuaiiy have a harbar built on the north shore of Lake Ontario within the regional borders ta increase shipping by water. fonms have been sent ta the 39 member municipaiities ta cate- gonically list ail products pro- duced in the area and ail ma- ternais imported into the arca that can be sent by water. Mayor Burnet said that if a case can be bililt then the as- sociation would press the gov- ernment ta develop one o! the harbors aiong the shore. He notcd that the association could flot press for anc harbor an:; more than another and added that the whoic region would benefit no matter what indivi- dual town got the watcr trans- port installations. Not ail the forms from the rnunicipalities had been rcturn- ed and a pictune o! patential sea-frcight could be prcsented at the meeting. The 1957 executive o! zone two was also clccted at the meeting. Alderman Gardon Powell o! Peterborough who is also president of LODA, con- ducted the meeting.
