Ted thinri aria .Iaek Preset', e-Pfnato by Arin'e Sitlio, yfield Tbe IN THE END OF THE SABBATH, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre, And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord des- cended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it, His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, "Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified, He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead." The story of the Resurrection of Christ as told in St. Matthew's Gospel is the basis for the Christian celebration of Easter—the most joyful festival of the church. It is, indeed, the basis of Christian faith. The world today nee& the promise of new life given to 'mankind on that, first Easter morn. In this hour of threatening world war, this hour of broken dreams of world peace, this hour of misery and fear throughout so much of the world, the hope that Easter brings of a better world not only in the hereafter but on this earth, gives the free men of the world courage to carry on. Through the ages Easter and springtime have become closely associated in the minds so- • of people everywhere, The eternal mystery of the renewal of life in nature in file spring and the story of the Resurrection both bring hope to man that ultimately good will con- quer evil. The message of Easter is a trium- phant one. People of our community, like those of thousands of communities all over the Christian world, will gather this Sunday, April 13, in their churches to worship the Risen Christ, to pray for peace, to seek the inspiration of the beautiful music of Easter and the comfort and challenge of the Easter message. The churches in this district should be too small to accommodate all those who wish to take part in the Easter services. Brumfield Man, Brussels Girl, Named Isabella Speir, R.

In summer, because of the damp- ness all our furniture has to be moved upstairs. Poor ventilation is alto responsible for the cook- ing odours that penetrate the whole school. Adequate blackboard space should be provided in order to facilitate good teaching. 0 ur Home Economics room has only ohe small blackboard and one bulletin board. Teachers cannot be expected to teach effectively with so little blackboard space. Nor is there enough floor space or the right kind of equipment to teach the use of vacuum clean- ers or floor polishers. Girls who should be given experience in the handling of these machines are therefore denied the Oppor- tunity. We need accommodation for clothes which have been handed in to be marked. These articles have to be stored in large boxes, which at the present time are a hazard and a nuisance. Adequate storage spade Would eliminate these Obstaclet. A person would marvel at the number Of dishes, pots, pans, and other cooking utensils we have in. Our cupboards.

Because of the lack of space in our present Horne Economics Room girls frequently bump into one another arid cause accidents, The spilling of grease or hot water can have painful and often dangerous consequences, . Our present Home Ecolioneics Robin was meant for a store room. When cooking And sewing classes started, It was converted into a Home Economics room large enough to accommodate ap- proximately 16 pupils. Today we have 24 in some of our clastes, This is the maximum number for larger home Economics rooms. The sewing room and the„ kit- Chen should be divided. At MCI they are both in one. It Would, therefore, be easier for the teach- er to teach sewing one day and cooking the next, but because Of the large &asses, this cannot be arranged. The result is confusion. The sewing machines should be situated in front of a Windove. The machines, he our, room are be- low the windows.

The trio involved were: Harry Gibb, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Gibb, Matilda St.; Jim Managhan, 11, son of Mr. and Mrs. W, E. Managhan, R.R. 5; Patrick Kyle, 10, son of F/L and Mrs/ Don Kyle. None, of the three is any the worse for his experience, which occurred Saturday afternoon last, and which resulted in the sum- moning iesf the RCAF Fire De- partment; and the assembling of a large crowd of people. How it Happened The lads told their story to The NEWS-RECORD, They were down by the Bayfield River about 2.30 p.m. Saturday, building a raft at the clay banks east of the bridge. The trio got on the raft and started down the river, assisted by homemade paddles. The raft struck the centre of the bridge abutment, and they thought it was going to turn over, so Gibb and Kyle jumped off the raft, up to their knees in water on the abutment. Managhan stayed on the raft, and finally landed on the north bank of the river. He ran to Ross Fitzsimons' store, where Jean and Mrs. Fitzsimons looked for a rope. Ross Fitzsimons ar- rived and telephoned the Kyles. Betty and Jean Fitzsimons and anaghan went to the bridge to see if they could help. Mrs. Kyle called her husband at camp and he arrived home and donned hip boots and waded out in the river, but could not reach the two boys still on the abut- ment. Fire Department Called Mrs. Kyle phoned the RCAF Fire Department which arrived with ladders and ropes, and pro- ceeded to get into action. Police Chiet Summoned Chief of Police Joseph Ferrand, Clinton, also was summoned by telephone by Mrs. Fitzsimons close to five o'clock. F/L. Kyle and AC1 Clifford Jones and Cpl.
