The Easter faith, in its essence is an affirmation that beyond the material the ultimate reality is spiritual. It is a conviction that though visible things may change, though our bodies return to the dust, though the sun grow old and the stars be cold, yet. the things which are not seen are eternal. It is such a faith which leads us at Easter to declare, as it is put in modern translation, "We are God's children now; and it does not yet appear what we shall be." *'-011, yet deathward-going tribes of men, what do your lives mean?" So Sophocles the ancient Greelc philosopher asked, and in all the centuries since, other men have echoed his query in the .language of their day., Easter is a reply. Ultimately all our readings of the meaning of our own lives are variations on two answers. The -first affirms that human life is only a froth on the .cosmic yeast and that, therefore, human beings are of no more significance than flies in a summer. The second affirms that human life is something more :than complicated chemistry, that it passes from what we inadequately call matter to what we inadequately call spirit — and that, therefore, human beings are of infinite value. Contributed Timmy will soon be eight and the best possible birthday present would be 19 home and parents to love him. Timmy is French Canadian.in descent, but English speaking. He's a slender boy with brownish-green eyes, dark hair and fair skin. He wears strong glasses for near-sightedness and with them has remarkable visual perception. Tests show Timmy has limited abilities, but he has improved greatly in being able to think in abstract terms and in expressing himself. His capacites are expected to increase with somebody of his own taking a loving interest in him. Timmy is a very affectionate boy, most appreciative of kindness and eager to help others himself. A sensitive child, he is sad when he feels rejected. He is able to look after himself Well. Timmy likes music and is a good dancer, extremely light on his feet. This lad will thrive if he can finally realize he has a mother and father of his own and a home from which he will not be . moved again. It would be ideal if he could be the only child. To inquire about adopting Timmy, please write to Today's Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182.

They whipped us again One said beef producers in this country have never had it so good, while the other suggested an even stronger market was evident. Now, who are we to believe? More importantly, who should the Canada department of trade and commerce believe? We often complain that our governments don't know what is going on at the grassroots level when they make decisions, but the beef situation points up the fact that some of the information and opinions coming from the grassroots makes it difficult for the government to know what decisions to make. It's a difference of opinion that makes an interesting horse race, but when the topic is cattle, that difference of opinion creates some confusion. The Huron County Federation of Agriculture recently started a campaign to protest against the importation of beef from Australia and New Zealand, and the Perth County council also felt the situation warranted a resolution adding their support to the protest. However, the Huron County Council didn't concur with the resolution, with two farmer-members indicating that the beef imports were not hurting one bit. Kids are people If you plan your vacation in late summer you can start it off with a good solid sum of $300 by putting aside just $20 each week at Victoria and Grey. So, whatever your need for vacation money, start your fund right now and enjoy watching it being added to by generous interest ... the easy way... at Victoria and Grey. VG The senior Trust Company devoted entirely to serving the people of Ontario. VICTORA and GREY how come they think we should end up paying an extra $4 in tax on 50 cents income? No wonder they don't worry about $1 when they can get a return of that nature. So, now that it's too late to do anything about it, we find that if our weekly pay cheque during 1970 had been 1 cent less, we would have been returned $3 on federal tax, $1 in provincial tax, plus the 78 cents that we over- paid. We wish our readers a better fate! + + + Executing an April Fool's joke on a few thousand people is no small feat, but judging from reaction to last week's paper, we managed the job fairly suc- cessfully. Unfortunately, the reaction wasn't visible to us, although comments have been passed along to indicate it 'met with mixed reaction. At least one person was down- right indignant and called Friday morning to tell us so. A staunch Liberal, our caller indicated that we were making light of the Prime Minister. This was not our intent, and while some events of the planned agenda were far-fetched, most readers believed it because they could well image our fun-loving PM going sucker fishing or donning his skis to show area TRUST Figured out your income tax yet? If you have, you've had the annual lesson on how much it costs you to run this country and get all the services people demand, The writer is usually on the list of those who leave their returns until the eleventh-hour, primarily because we usually end up owing them more than the small fortune we've submitted on a weekly basis. However, our efficient (their description) front offices staff advised that this year they bad things figured out, and with a break an all, the editor may even= receive a small refund. With that thought in mind, we set about the task of figuring out the returns, armed with the lengthy list of "aids" provided by the tax people. The aids are provided, we suspect, because too many people were figuring their returns out correctly and putting some civil servants out of work. Someone then decided that if they put out a lengthy list of aids, it would confuse more people and keep the jobs of the checkers secure. At any rate, we battled our way through the maze of figures, and sure enough, the final com- putation indicated that the government would have to return some income tax money to us. Unfortunately, our joy was short-lived. The amount owing was 78 cents, and there in black and white is the statement that amounts less than $1.00 are wiped out. It's the governments' way of reminding us that a dollar has very little value these days. In fact, they apparently consider it worthless. + + + The discovery that we would not be able to claim the 78 cents we overpaid was sad enough, but that was merely minor in com- parison to the loss we suffered by the fact that our taxable income was 50 cents more than it should have been. If you've been through the income tax payment form, you'll know that the rate increases with each $10 of taxable income, We got pushed into the next $10 range of taxable income by that small 50 cents. It meant a payment of another $3 in federal tax and $1 in provincial tax. Now that's really confusing! If the government doesn't think $1 is worth collecting or repaying, 1889 COMPANY SINCE 425 Main Street Exeter 235-0530 residents his skills even if the hill was small. For many area residents, the Winchelsea school banquet was the tip-off, as most know it is now used as a piggery. However, we had one lady call the office Saturday morning and ask quite sincerely where tickets could be purchased. Another customer in the office at the same time got a big chuckle out of that. Her husband trucks pigs from the former school. Another wag suggested that there would be no needfor police protection at the school event, with plenty of "pigs" being available on location. What surprised us most of all was the fact a large number of people failed to read the story in its entirety and missed the line that pronounced the hoax. One of the gals in the back-shop read it on the paste-up and walked away with the comment "isn't that something". She had to be ad- vised to finish the last paragraph and we spent a few anxious moments wondering how many others may miss the final line and indeed show up to see the Prime Minister.

When the child came to the counter, believe it or not, the clerk passed over him and waited on the adult who had come up behind him. A little girl stood looking at a store door with her arms full of parcels trying to decide how to open it. Eventually she put the parcels down opened the door, held it with her foot, and struggled to pick up her bundles. A young woman who had nothing to carry had the door opened for her by a middle-aged gentleman. Children are people, too. Strathroy Age Despatch Children Are People, Too. "It isn't fair, a ten-year-old said to us the other day. Nobody pays any attention to us," The remark was kind of interesting, so we began to watch what is going on about us. For reasons we can't even guess, a small youngster was sent into a supermarket to shop while the parent remained in a car. At the checkout, •the child was given a bag of groceries it could brely carry and , left to struggle with it. A full-grown woman next in line had her bag of groceries carried out to the car.

When your kid comes home from school and says breezily, "Hi, Dad. I have this project to do .. .", don't take the bait. Don't say a word beyond "Hrummph" as you flip your newspaper up for a shield, or better still, head for the bathroom and lock yourself in. Never, ever, reply, "Well, what's it all about?" or "Is there anything I can do to help?" If you do, you'll discover, inevitably, that you have a project to do. Projects are all the rage these days, in education. Give a kid a project and he'll learn everything there is to know about the Per- sian Golf, the origin of sand- paper, or the sex life of the blow- fly. He may never learn anything else in school, a strong possibility, but he'll always be an expert in one field, For the rest of their lives, these kids will find some way, at cocktail parties or formal din- ners, in casual conversation, to drag in the Gulf, the sandpaper or the blow-fly, Which is good. Most people know practically nothing about practically anything, Thus, they can easily be put down by a forthright statement like, "But NERMYAMMEMEMPAr Times Established 1873 25 YEARS AGO Mr. arid Mrs. Lloyd Lindenfield have moved into their new brick residence on Main Street, Pte.

Suddenly, under the influence of the excitement and too many coffees, I came up with a new project and tossed it at her, "The Curse of the Great Lakes!" She raved, That was IT. She'd been born and raised on their shores, and of course I knew all sorts of interesting old-timers, don't you Dad? We talked long and feverishly, and it looked better and better, I had swallowed the bait. All she had to do was set the hook. Next morning the whole thing looked insane. But when I started to swim quietly away, I found still had the hook in my mouth. And the line was taut.

Despite my experience of the whole fiasco of projects, I got myself hooked recently. Daughter Kim was home from university. Out went the bait. "Dad, I have to do a project in anthropology. Sounds in- teresting." Warily, ready to run, I asked what it was, fairly secure in my utter ignorance of the subject, It turned out to be a project on folklore, any area. I breathed easier. I was still swimming free. She let out a little more line. Said she'd considered doing one on the legends of the Ottawa Valley lumbering days, with particular reference to my great- uncle, Mountain Jack Thomson, reckoned to be the toughest lumberjack in the Valley, reputed to have killed four men in fist-and-boot fights. I got excited, nibbled the bait and began spinning yarns about Mountain Jack. She responded with the appropriate, "Wow! That's really great, Dad." Then it emerged that she had to go direct to human sources, not MTVTIPSHENNOMEAVRINEVOMORMAMINM Amalgamated 1924 that's exactly what I've been saying. The whole thing is in direct contrast to the solemn, sedate, secretive sex life of the blow-fly." They simply can't field that one, if it's properly delivered. And you can always change your adjectives to suit the situation. It could be, "The wild, exotic orgies of the blow-fly, which comes in heat only on leap-years." Actually, projects are nothing new, although some young teachers act as though Moses had just been up the mountain again ' and come down with a great stone slab inscribed "Projects." We had projects when I was a kid. I remember one in agriculture. I chose to build a model of a hen-house. Wisely, as I was perfectly aware, even at that tender age, that I couldn't nail two boards together without making a hand sandwich, And equally aware that my father was a master craftsman. Even so, it took a lot of time. I had to spend about five evenings in his basement workshop, praising, admiring, and fetching cups of tea, before the job was done.
