Odds 'n Ends
A very busy month
The dictionary says:
“March: third month of the
year; has 31 days."
It doesn’t sound very ex
citing, does it?
For a long time, I thought
March was as dull as it
sounded, but now that I’ve
considered all the things
taking place in this month, I
realize it isn’t boring at all.
In 1978, March is going to be
an especially busy time.
March 3/for example, is
the World Day of Prayer in
which Christians around the
world gather for special ser
vices. This year’s service,
which will be shared univer
sally. was prepared by
Canadian church women,
and the theme is Community
Spirit in Modern Living.

Wolfgangk Sruss, per
sonnel manager at Campbell
Soups, spoke on Philosophy.
He said that philosophers
cannot agree on what
philosophy is and that most
philosophers are very
religious.
Philosophy makes one
inquire why you accept
different ideas. He stated
that the unexamined life is
not worth living.

keep busy watching for signs
that spring is winning.
March closes in 1978 the
way it began with emphasis
on a special Christian event.
Easter comes early this
year — March 26.
Special events planned in
your community or in your
family combined with the
happenings that everyone
shares will probably keep
you occupied for the whole
month.
In our family, we have my
brother-in-law’s birthday
gift to shop for. After New
Years, I remarked that the
next big holiday we’d
celebrate would be John’s
birthday. Someone said that
it wasn’t a holiday to which I
replied, “Well, it should
be!"
I thought a compliment
like that, required such im
agination and nerve, was
worth at least a dollar. But
brother John didn’t see it
that way. Maybe he thought
I was just trying to butter
him up, so that he wouldn’t
groan when I gave him
another pair of socks this
year.
In closing, I leave you with
a warning. Don’t let the ac
tivities of March tire you
out, and don’t let your guard
down when they are over.
Remember — March 31 is
followed by one of the
trickiest days of the year.
Then, around the middle
of March — the 17th to be ex
act strange things start
happening. Six feet of snow
may cover the ground, but
shamrocks begin to bloom.
Leprechauns play tricks in
the minds of even the most
sedate folks: the good old
Emerald Isle becomes very
close, in hearts if not in
miles; many people sport
green clothes, and even
those who don’t wear the
colour are usually “thinking
green.”
Another phenomenon
takes place in mid-March.
"Call it winter break, spring
break, March break or
whatever you like but a lot
of people take a break from
winter in March. The kids
will be out of school from
the 18th to the 27th, I
believe, for one of the
longest mid-term holidays in
years.
Many families will take
the opportunity to flee the
snow and ice, perhaps think
ing spring will be here when
they return. (How much
would you like to bet it
isn’t?)
Although spring officially
begins in March, winter is
reluctant to let go. One of
the interesting parts of the
month is the tug of war that
goes on between the two
seasons, and those of us who
worship sunny
