Columbus and Area News by Lorna Miller Hi, Fellow Columbites:: . Happy Easter! Hope you en- joyed it in spite of the soggy weather. Remember the Easter bonnet? Every woman worth her salt just had to sport a new cha- peau for Easter. At Easter, heads bloomed with mult-coloured cab- bage roses, cherries, feathers and bows sprouting from beds of sat- in, tulle, and straw. The premise being the more outlandish the creation, the higher the status ac- corded the wearer. One such creation that I remem- ber donning was a bushel-basket of a thing, innundated by cabbage roses of corresponding hues and crowned by a huge, brown, satin bow. I remember it so well, not only because of its ugliness, but becaue it had a tendency to fall into my face causing temporary blindness. Being too proud to con- stantly adjust the hat so I could see, I groped my way through the congregation after services and out onto the street where I was nearly run over by a similarly silly hat- ted woman who was backing out of the church driveway. Thank goodness this pretentious tradition has faded into the closet of histo- ry, along with the whale-boned corset. Reverend Rutherford donned an Easter bonnet of a different style today, a burnoose created from a baby's blanket. Along with a bathrobe and a pair of sandals, this nique headress made up the cos- tume of the poor messanger who broke the news to Herrod that, es, Jesus had been crucified, but ad also arisen. Now, Herrod shouldn't have been surprised at this news, since it had been prophecied for ages by learned men of God. Still, this news came as a shock to him, for he realized that he had achieved not fame, but infamy by this political gaffe, and his people have been persecuted ever since. The minister's charac- terization of this messenger rose above his make-shift costume and brought home the message to us that even hostile eye-witnesses were awed by the magnitude of the situation, unsure as to what had happened and deeply afraid of the repercussions that were bound to follow. Today, the land in which this all took place, is still in the throes of pF-Wa)'[c Neola] Vago). .Noggel ofc (Todo om Denfect HEATING CO.

The battle rages on for the very land that Jesus admonished us to give up in the search for the Land of God and life eternal. Things haven't changed much, have they? Rocks or guns, arrows, or missiles, the fights still go one. Blood is still shed. The lega- cy of Love turned to Hate. Sad but true. : There will be a night of cards at Columbus United Church, April 23rd at 8 p.m. Tickets are $2. Get in touch with Walter Beath--he will be glad to sell you some.
