C { DRYDEN, ONTARIO, APRIL 21st, 1933. aia. No. 16. VOL. XI. THE COLUMNIST Sometimes, I yearn for the space of two columns instead of one, once in a while I find a subject that is only begun, and space is up. Such is this week's thought. I write of Easter. Easter in many ways is the great festival of Christendom, whether Catholic or Protestant. It is the annual commemoration of Christ's death and resurree- tion. To my mind it is a great- er feast than Christmas. Christ mas celebrates the birth of a baby, Easter honors the triumph of a man. True there could have been no man, but for the baby, but the baby might have heen no one but for the manner of his death and resumption of life. 'We have just passed through Easter. Easter is not a fixed or stated time like Christmas; like men's moods it varies with the moon. It may be in March, and it can be nearly the end of April. | It was set early in the churche's history, and Christendom has not been sufficiently courageous and unanimous since, to change what nearly all feel to be an ab- surdity. It effects desperately the business of the milliner, the hatter, the costumer and the elothier. Had T my way I would join it up with '200d old Queen Vie- toria and make it the 24th of May, because this would be early enough for good dresses in this northern climate. To spirited people this may sound irreligiously , facetious, ~ With my habit of calling spades spades, it is no so, and this is not my intent, or at least if my intent, done with the object of mocking the sham of business that seizes religion to make trade. I think the Protestant .world must concede to the Catholic churches, Greek and Roman, the greater self sacrificial prepara- tion for Easter. Beginning with Ash Wednesday, Lent endures for forty .days and partly cul- minates on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. Passion Sunday, as it is called, commences Passion Week. The dull semi-inactive Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday usher in Maunday Thursday, and then the Protestant Church joins for the first time in Good Friday. ignoring Saturday, but all Christendom uniting, each sect in its own way, in the Resurrec- tion day of Easter. Christ was a reformer. Te has changed the lives of millions of people consciously and millions more have habits that wuncon- sciously to themselves are formed by 'the life and teachings of Jesus, but it is a very slow re formation. There are many backward steps, wmulti-millions have enjoyed and are enjoying the benefits of the fact that He ever was an actual person. In this world of inconsistency, I think the most ridiculous thing, is that Good Friday is a business holiday, or taken as a holiday by millions, who if! they know what it is all about, act differ- ently. If there should have to - be an excuse for a holiday, why 9 not make it Easter Monday. I know that you will tell me, that the schools close for Eas ter and that the banks and trust companies and exchanges close from Good Friday until Easter Monday, but please notice these institutions close on hoth | Announcements Rl iT wn. ge oF ------ Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50¢ per inch, per week, with a' minimum charge of 25c.

Howes officiating. A very large crowd was pres- ent to pay last respects to the late Mr. Sadler, a popular resi- dent of Oxdrift for many years. Of a happy disposition and a great lover of sport and musie, he is mourned by a wide circle of friends and the utmost sym- pathy is extended to his sorrow- ing widow and three little child- ren, also his aged mother and brothers and sisters. The burning of Refuse is for- hidden within the Town Limits] from April 15th to August 31st. except by permission of the Fire Chief. days. I refer to the less digni- fied business, stores, blacksmith shops, if there is now any such thing, barber shops, and so on. These close on Good Friday, and stav open Easter Monday. Christ did not die actually on the Good Friday that we ecele- brate, I have showed the im- possibility of this; as a matter of fact, no one knows the exact day of his death, it ean only be a guess from unconfirmed legend, but that he did die, most of us believe; that he died in agony and disappointment is easily conceiveable. Why in the name of common sense, celebrate it by a holiday, where we play cards, go to a baseball mateh or to the talkies, why not eliminate Good Friday as a holiday and cele- brate Easter Monday instead. Christ had overcome his trouble, he had shown that death had no sting. That is the day to my mind to make merry. Recognis- ing the Sunday, let us take the first secular day to enjoy our- selves. But if the united churches cannot find a fixed date for Easter, how can I expect the people to find that I am right? £1) SEED (EE () WE () EE () SE () WED () ER () SR) SED -- ()-SED ()-STED ( G.

F. Harris, only daughter of Mrs. W. H. Edwards, was united in marriage to Mr. William M. Sutton of Winnipeg. The bride, who was given in marriage by Mr. W. H. Edwards. was attired in an imported model gown of heavy white satin, a short train being attached ito a jacket of fine lace. Her veil was in regulation bridal style, caught up with orange blossoms. She wore white satin slippers and short white kid mittens and car- ried a sheaf of calla lilies and maiden hair fern. Mrs. W. (. MacDonald, who attended the bride as matron of honor, wore a gown of del phinium blue embroidered silk net, with a floor-length sash of velvet ribbon in the same shade. Miss' Rosamond Harris, of Tor- onto, maid of honor, looked charming in a model gown of blush pink lace with a satin sash in pale pink and blue. The two bridesmaids were Miss Eileen Slorach and Miss Jenniebelle Edwards, of Winnipeg. Miss Slorach's gown was a parakeet green chiffon, trimmed with vel- vet flowers in a deeper shade, while Miss Edwards wore a gown of shell pink eyelet em- broidered net with a pale blue velvet sash. All four wore lace caps and mittens in shades to match their gowns, and carried colonial bouquets of pale pink supreme roses. Little Miss Mary Harris. as flower girl, wore a quaint little dress of white flat crepe, trimmed with chiffon velvet. Her lace cap and mittens were pale blue and she carried a basket of sweet peas. (Continued on Page 4) WHAT'S DOING IN TORONTO? On Friday, March 3lst, two Government Bills were introdue- ed. Bill No. 128 amended the Workmen's Compensation Act, changing the method of hand: ling "cases of silicosis, a 'disease contracted by miners in certain sections. Formerly men develop- ing first stages of this disease were prohibited from going be- low ground again and awarded a lump sum of $500. The miners have complained bitterly of this and one or two of them have stated that a similar Act in South Africa had driven them from below ground there and they had worked for years in the mines here without any an- preciable injury. The present amendment will provide that they may carry on with periodi- cal examination but if tuber- culosis develops, the rates of compensation will. be lowered to 50% instead of 66 2-8%. In ad- dition the mining companies will not be called upon to deposit with the Compensation Board an amount sufficient to cover each case that has indications of developing silicosis. Bill No. 129 merely extended the pro- vision of the Insurance Act of last year. The dispute with re- gard to jurisdiction over Insur- ance matters between the Dom- inion and the Province has not been settled and this Bill merely gives authority to carry on for another year as at present. Five Bills were given second reading and five were put through com- mittee of the whole House. In reply to question Mr. Nixon was told that the legal firm of which Mr. W. N. Tilley, KC, is a member was retained by the T. & N. 0. Railway and paid the sum of $59,423 by the Commis- sion in charge of Government Railways. This brings the total payment to this firm since 1926 close to $338,000 from all Gov- ernment sources. Dr. McQuibban was told that the wage Bill of the H. BE. P. Commission under the various heading of operation, 'maintenance and administration was $3,900,796.54, $1139,924.73 'and $370,144.56, respectively. He was also informed that the total cost of the legal Department of the Power Commission for the (Continued on Page 2) 'years, DR. WOOD IS BEREAVED WILLIAM H. WOOD, MANI- TOBA CITIZEN 54 YEARS, EXPIRES. William H. H. Wood, aged 71 a resident of Manitoba for the past 54 years, and a campaigner in the North-West Rebellion, died, Sunday night. at his residence, 188 Queenston street. His health had not been of the best since his retirement from the position of post office inspector three years ago. Born at Sarnia, Ont, Mr. Wood came to Manitoba at the age of 17, settling at Birtle, Man., where he was postmaster for many years. In 1912 he came to Winnipeg, when appoint- ed Post office inspector in the city, and resided here until his death. He was a member of St. Luke's Anglican church.

Un- fortunately, the writer of that reply has misconstrued the in- tent of the message and, for the benefit of the public, it were well to point out where that misinterpretation les.
