(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) EARL WALSH' An Easter card came from Murphy's Corner with this note from Lora: "Tom says I should invite you and Mrs. Walsh to our "Irish Restaurant" for a 7 course dinner - that is - a six- pack and a boiled potato." That Irishman! May take him up on it. Trust they are "Murphy" potatoes. And there was an added note: "Go- Go- Sox." That makes them our kind of people. We were reading with great interest about a movie star and her husband celebrating the 9th anniversary of their marriage. 9th week - that is! Driving in traffic nowadays gives you a thrill a mile. Wish they would teach these magazine salesmen a new line. They all start out by asking if we will vote for them. You will see a spring sports schedule on your sports page this week. That's not the whole thing. There will be more coming. Have to break it down. So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR.

One night as we read a football story, the name "Scooter" stood out. Memory failed us, but soon found the name was given to Jack Schaefer. He could really scoot. The holy and joyous season of Easter is with us. There is something special about it that reaches deep into a person's life style. The weatherman doesn't promise much in the way of weather, but all of us can promise ourselves to do something to make Easter a good and happy day-- for ourselves and for others.

'Very well, doctor,' said Mrs. Mulligan meekly. 'Do I take them before or after meals?'
