A
CLINTON, ONTARIO,- THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1967 $5 00 Per Year
HEARD somewhere recently
that experts, (-whoever, wbat-
, ever and wherever they are.)
siay that the family composed of
-a father, Uhd three
ciili'ldperi who is, living on $5,000
pp less per annum is- among
’The new clasis ■ ofp Canada’s
poor”. ■ *
Doesn’t seem toio long ago
that an income of < $5,000 per
year was considered* 'yeiy good
. sort of a ’’made“iit-’ goal
fop which the average worker
equid strive? Now, according to
the men who khow, $5,000 a
yeap isn’t .enough an'd probably
accounts for the number of fin
ancial. ' .predicaments in which
'people find themselves today.
And the idea dfhJait business
executives are particularly sub
ject to heart disease and gas
tric ulcers seems to be going
out the"window, The Flinanciial
Post says. A' study among em-
4 ployees of a US -chemical cor-
"poratioh shows that executives
had the lowest incidents of cor
onary, thrombosis. The highest
incidence was the- low-salaried
clerical worker . . . the same
findings apply for gastric./
ulcers.
Truly', no-w, is it any wonder?
-
HEARD We are to have a
new national anthem before
the end of Centennial Year ...
although it may not have any
words. t
Some may agree v that it
might be just as well if there-
Were ho words, especially since
, our ears are still dinging with
the strains of “O Canada”.
. Considered by -same to be* more
of • a dirge than ■ a patriotic
rouser, the lyrics oif “O Can
ada”, xve understand, are under
copyright until .1976, ; •
Written in 1908 by a' Mon-
. treal. exchequer court justice
named Robert Stanley Weir,
Who passed away in 1926, “O
Canada” contains the phrase,
“stand on guard” five times in
z the first verse. Even Rrime
Minister Pearson has suggested
■that the words of the Weir ver-;
sion could be improved.
If there, is to be a debate
in the Commons, like the one
we experienced over- -the new
flag, we can,-.«»g)eigtA..the^n,eWi:
lyrics to be approved for ' the
national anthem just about the
time the copyright expires ...
say late 1976 or early 1977? ‘

MANY folk like to follow the
European custom of coloring
eggs at Easteriime. However,
the Araucana Indians of -the
Gulfo de Araueo district of
Chile in South ^ America don’t
have to go' to- this trouble.
They have -a breed of chick
ens called (the Araucana that
lays pastel, blue eggs. The depth
of color .in -an egg shell is be
lieved to be related to many
characteristics peculiar to- the
individual hen as well as to the
number of eggs, the hen has
laid. Hence ithe production from
one flock of chickens may vary
widely in the different hues of
blue eggs-gathered.
An interesting point is that
when the Araucana is cross
-bred with a chicken that lays
brown-colored eggs, the d'augh-

For Christians .the empty tomb reminds them
that the Christ they lo've is not a dead but a Risen
Saviour, bringing newness of life,
Last Fall you could see a farmer planting wheat
which had barely started to Sprout*when it was
buried beneath tile .'snow, .There it lay apparently
as dead as the dandelion clusters scattered and'’
buried last year. But with tile Spring, the wheat
grows again and the yellow flowers invade our
lawns. The death' of the seed leads to new life. So
the death of Christ leads to the Easter of New Life,
the failure Of the cross to Victory.
Perhaps you have been discouraged by failure
dr had high hope^. that fell flat. Things have not
gone as you planned. You are hot alone in proving
foresight may be vain, as Burns says “the best laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft agley.” Easter
reminds us that there is always hope. A new Easter
hat is fine but a new fresh outlook -is better. Where
God closes one door, He always opens another. The
young people sing, “I pick myself up and start all
over again.”
This is a time to be happy, to look forward, to
make plan$ for the future.
In his first letter to.the Corinthians, Paul re
fers to the Jewish regulations that required the de-
■structioii of all the old yeast at the Passovqr, the
preparation of a yeastless (unleavened) bread for
the Festival itself, and the use of a fresh ferment
after the Passover. He explains these as a figure
of the Resurrection and the newness of life to be
fed by his readers,
“Purge out the old leaven that you may be a
frosh dough (as you really are) for Christ our
Paschal Victim has been sacrificed. Therefore let
us celebrate the feast not with the bld leaven of
" malice and wickedness but with the unleavened
bread of\ sincerity and truth.”
