Easter:
The story that never ends
Bernard Shaw, in the preface to his
play, Androcles and the Lion, discussed
the New. Testament Gospels. Here is
part of what he wrote about Matthew's'
Gospel: "Matthew thentells how after
three days an angel opened the family
vault of Joseph, a rich man of
Arimathea, who had buried Jesus in it;
whereupon Jesus rose andreturned
from Jerusalem to Galilee and resumed
his preaching with his disciples,
assuring them that he would now be
with them to the end of the world." •
Then Shaw added: "At that point the
narrative abruptly stops. The story has
no ending." Shaw there said more than
he intended. He rejected the traditional
Christian interpretation of Easter, but in
writing, "The story has np ending," he
underscored, inadvertently, what Easter
has meant for Christians through the
centuries For the Christian believer the
crucifixion of Jesus does not mark a
tragic ending, but rather, a new
beginning. .
For those who stood around the cross
on Good Friday it was the ignominious
end of Jesus of . Nazareth. . For
officialdom it was the end of an awkward
and . challenging incident. For Jesus'
disciples it was the violent and tragic
end of , a glorious hope.

To the Editor:
Bitter objections over letter
printed in the newspaper.
Writing in regard to my
resigning from Council, I wish to
make it clear that I have done my
best to do . what was right since
the ratepayers voted me jn. But,
due tothe circumstances result-
ing from'a recent letter written by
Bill Crump and myself, published
in the Sentinel, which Reeve
George Joynt does not think was
justified, I have no alternativebut
to resign as I feel I did not do
anything wrong. We were only
speaking out because I think we
had the right to let the,ratepayers
know what was going on.
As a councillor, I wish to thank
the ratepayers for their support,
in working with different prob-
lems that they may have had, My
decision is not an easy one, as I
have had an interest in town
affairs for a number of years.
Thank you for the support and
`the opportunity of working with
you as. a councillor,
Bud Hamilton.;
Then came' Easter morning. The
Gospels declare that God raised Jesus
from the tomb. And soon Jesus'
followers came to an awareness that he
was alive, that he had ongoing life -- and
out of this awareness, out of the
.Resurrection experience, came the
Christian faith and the Christian
Church.
The details of the Resurrection, its
means and its mechanics,—its, "how",
Are shrouded in , the mists of history.
There are serious inconsistencies in the
account of the event in the four Gospels,
and there can be no simple;" agreed.
account df what happened: Proof and
disproof -are quite beyond us here. But
the Resurrection experience and the
Resurrection conviction, have persisted
-- and this has been the\ dynamic of
Christian ,faith, through the years.
The Christian religion is not simply a
matter of , honouring the memory of a
great ,man and trying ;to live in accord
with his teachings. The Church should
not be merely a memorial society, a sort
of Jesus fan club. Christianity is not
essentially inthe remembering of a
dead hero; Christianity is in experien-
cing a living Lord. "The storyhas no
ending."

Gentlemen:
I am writing to inform your
• newspaper of our new name. Our
agency has beenin operation for
approximately three months and
we have finally obtained our
name. The official name of our
agency is now . The Town and
Country Homemakers.
Our agency is progressing
extremely well now, with a total
of 1886 hours being used thus far
and approximately thirty-eight
homemakers being employed on a
full-time basis. Of course, we still
have a long way to go in order to
become a completely self-suffic-
ient organization, but our goals
are slowly being realized with the
help of many generous and'
concerned groups and/or individ.
uals in Huron County.
I would also like to take this
time to express my 'gratitude for
the assistance your paper has
given us through publicity, dur-
ing these past months. This
publicity" has been extremely
helpful in making ur : agency
known to the people of Huron
County.
Yours t ly,
Mrs. P. C. Gonie-Tak

HYDRO EXPLAINS PURPOSE
OF SURVEY
March 9, 1978
Lucknow Sentinel,
Dear Editor:
In a letter to you which you
published in the February' 22,
1978 issue of your. paper, Mi.
Adrian Vos of the Huron Power
Plant Committee suggests that a
survey now underway is designed
to scare the farmer into support-
ing Ontario Hydro's position. on
electrical, power system expan-
sion..
It is un fort nate that Mr. Vos.
did not make the effort to seek the
reasons behind the survey before
accusing Ontario Hydro -of 'scare
tactics.
The farm survey is part of a
broad study examining the stand-
ard of power systemIelialiility for
all electrical power ' users in the
province - not just ' the farming
community. The industrial, resid-
ential and commercial sectors
have already been surveyed.
The study was started in 1975
at the request of the - Ontario
Energy Board. An external advis-
ory group representing 13
organizations - is assisting Ontar-
io hydro on the project. Results
will be made available to the
Ontario -Energy Board upon
completion.
The survey questions are
designed to assist in the deter-
mination of the level of electrical
power suppy, reliability desirable
and necessary to meet the needs
of all the people of Ontario as the
future unfolds.
The cost of interruptions . to
electrical service is an essential
part of the study. It is a most ,
important criteria for establishing

I SEE by the Sentinel THAT
skunks appear to be "overrunn-
ing" the town according to
reports from all sections of the
village. Last week one of them
was playfully cavorting on main
street and one lady returning
from a party after midnight,
"played tag" with it for about
fifteen minutes before getting
into a strategic enough position to
make a dash for the door of her
home.
the desired reliability level. The
customer's perception of the cost
to him of an interruption, is the
only way in which to establish the
actual cost of providing various
levels of reliability.
I sincerely hope that farmers in
general do not share Mr. Vos'
short sightedness, because the
results of the study are , most
important to the people of Ontario"
to help with the planning of future
electrical energy needs.
' We will be pleased to provide
Mr. Vos with all the information
'he needs on the project, as we
have to others who have expres-
sed interest.
