Page 4 Soturdny, pork 1, 196) Suffering, Mortality Then Soul's Triumph The victory of lie over death -- thet is the meaning of Easter, The drams of the last days of Christ in . mortal form and His shedding of earthly garb provides the gest inspiration of the Christian religion. The Bon of God treads the path of sorrow and suffering, thet others may follow to redemption, salvation and eternsl life. Here is the victory of the cleansed spirit over mor: tality. In His own triumph over death is the promise of life everlasting for man, Significantly, the celebration of Easter comes at 8 time of the awakening of the earth in ow northern hemisphere The land and the water begin to stir with new life after the death of winter This awakening of nature has stirred the imagination of men from the earliest times ~~ the old Saxons called it Eostre Thus it is that in English the season is known as Easter In many languages strongly influ enced hy the Latin of the Romans, the name of the season derives from the Jewish Pesah, or Passover, the festival thet celetnptes the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The Crucifizion snd the Resirection occurred during the Pass over Week, and the Gospels mention thet the Last Supper was # Pamover meal. The Ualions call the Christien holiday Pasqua, the Bpanish Pascua, the French Faques and the Welsh Fase, In the first two centuries after the Crucifixion, according to the World Book Encyclopedia, a controversy arose over when the festival wes to be celebrated, The custom in Asie Minor was to observe Easter with the Lord's Supper on the evening of the 14th of the Jewish month of Wissen, regardless of the day of the week. The Romans, however, preferred to hold the Easter feast always on Sunday. The Nicene Council of 325 AD resolved the dispute. It set the date gs the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 21, which is shout the time of the verngsl equinox. It cannot come before March 22 or wfter April 28, But no matter what the date, this is the most soul: stirring celebration of the Christian year, Repetition Of Warnings should a warning he How often repeated? At what stage does repetition cease to have effect, or even resistance to the desired end? These are questions in the minds of some traffic and safety engineers whe are wondering if there are too many red lights en the roads at night. The Ontario Bafety League quotes some of the conclusions of Dr, L, J. van de Mey: len; a Netherlands Government traffie police official; "A surfeit of any physical stimuli tends to weaken its effect. Too much red color would tend to reduce the effective ness of red as 8 warning signal, Every vehicle has at least two red tail lights, Some of the recent models have four, Bines red is a danger signal indicating an obstruction, what is the logic behind two or more red lights en # moving vehicle ?" Dr. van de Meulen suggests that moving vehicles should show one red and one green tail light; a stopped Problem For "At Nuremberg it was estimated that the Germans extracted in occupation costs and 'eredits' two-thirds of Bel: gium's national income and a similar percentage fram the Netherlands, Al- together, according to the United Btates strategic bombing survey, Germany ex: tracted in tribute from the conquered nations a tatal of 104 billion marks (836 hillion), (At official rates of 4 reichs marks ta the dallas, it came to $40 hil: lan.) . . .

West Germany agreed to settle with its nationals whose property was taken in the UB, Germany hasn't done s, in part because it would then be under pressure to repay its eitizens whe lost property in other countries due te the war, The Journal quite rightly asserts that the American taxpayer is under na ohligation whatever te dig down te solve this strictly German problem. Other Editor's Views FRENCH EXPORTS RISE (France Actuelle) In the fist half of this year the French aireraft industry inereased ita exports almost 60 per cent aver the same period last year; the mechanical construction industry over 38 per eent, and the machine-teal industry 25 per cent. As for current French aireraft production, foreign airline and private demand is so high that military orders now constitute only 85 per cent (as against 80 per cent in 1987) of the current effective call far French-made aireraft.

MeINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON The crisis aver Northern Rhodesia's new eon: stitution, eritieal a month age, has disappeared, The policy of the British government, to keep quiet and let matters sort them: selves out, has proved Just as wise as | predicted it would in an article written Just & month agn. Bir Roy Welensky is a re: sult of many meetings with Prime Minister Macmillan and Commonwealth Secretary Dun: can Bandys, has withdrawn his objections to the procedures laid down for completing the new Northern Rhodesia consti tution, As he left London to re: turn to Rhodesia, Sir Hoy said he was now satisfied with the situation, and had heen eon vineed that even under the pew eanstitution, the Central African Federadion would continue It Is obvious that the plain speaking of Mr. Maemillan has had its effect on Bir Roy Welen- sky's thinking. He was prohahly told bluntly that if the Macleod plan for the Northern Rhodesia constitution was nat carried through, the Federation would Inevitably break un. In that event, the esponsibility would lie an the shoulders of Sir Hoy and his government, That was A risk he was not prepared to take, Bn he Is now ready to fo int discussions In Rhodesia to ut the Macleod Nan ntn ae ion. And there will he no mare violent talk from him, such as he used a month ago SECURITY COUNCIL, Bir Roy has thrown out a rather interesting suggestion as to the future course of Com: monwealth consultations, He Is, of course, determined tn keep the Central African Federation within the Commonwealth. He sald: "I wonder if we are not get: ting inte the position of the United Nations, where some sort of security eounell, with the pawer of velo, may he nee: essary." He could not agree that a country of five million people should have the same say in conferences as one of 8 mil lions, And he was disturbed at the new tendaney of Common: wealth Prime Ministers' Cone ferences to diseuss the internal affairs of member nations. He suggested that a lot of hard thinking was necessary to sort out the future vole of such ean: ferences, And there are many in the United Kingdom who agree wholeheartedly with hat thought Conditions within the Labor party are gong from had to worse. Following on the expyl sion of five members from the Parliamentary Labor Party, 78 Labor MP's have sent a peti tian to Mr. Gaitskell asking that they he reinstated, Its signator ies Include Richard Crossman, chairman of the national execy tive of the party, and Chuter Ede, one of its most respected elder statesmen.

If he could do that as a result of a demonstration, then we feel he could have done it a good deal earlier, without @ demonstration, which would have certainly res flected a good deal more credit on Mr, Stare than the situation which developed on Saturday, March 25th, and which was, primarily, created by Mr, Stare, LG This statement | authorized by the Executive Board of Loss! 222 UAW, €
