WHY DID JESUS MET'
Why did Jesus. die? This is -
fi the question that confronts us
every Lenten season. From our
human point of view it seems
! a great waste of personality and
potential usefulness that after only
three years of a marvelously lived
life Jesus should die, We would
like to speculate on what migee '
have happened if Jesus had accept-
5 est an invitation of the Greeks to " - i go to Europe, shake th.e dust of •
.- Palestine off his feet, and walk a ,
lifetime among men who might
have appreciated him. What more-
might he have said, what miracle. ,.
, wrought, what wondrous iteritate0
ooluesa t iching might he have let l.
.
Why did Jesus die? The first 5
and easiest answer that comes to '
our mind is. this: lie died because
the Jewish authorities were deter
I mined to get rid of this man a
!
Early in his ministry he came into •
conflict with the Scribes and '
Pharisees who continually crossed
his path, heckled his meetings and I
tried to trip him with the Roman
authorities. From their point of '
view Jesus was a very dangerous
man, a heretic who would destroy
their, type of worship, supereedvel ,
their tradition and made himself
would go into the world to destroy
evil wherever it was found, fret-
ing men and women everywhere
from its power.
But that is not all. There is a
deeper sense in which we most
ask this question. Why was it
IN THE PLAN OF GOD that
Jesus should die? When. Jesus
prayed In agony that the cup of
suffering might past from him,
God did not answer the ,brayer of
his son in the affirmative but,
sept him to die, When years; later
Jesus' followers pondered th is ques-
tion, they could think of only one
thing-The Love Of God. Not
simply the, love of Jesus, but the
Love Of God! What was God do-
ing? Where was he when Jesus
died? He was there at Calvary
dying with his son. The nails
driven into the hands or Christ
went right through and into the
hands of the Father God, (led was
in Christ sacrificing Himself for
us, that we might be reconciled to
him. That is why Jesus died '-
that God might come down from
his heaven, right into our sinful
life and with arms outstretched in
love call us to him. As one great
saint has 'put it, "It is only on a
cross that a man dies with out-
stretched hands".
Smiley
tumbled into our ken an Irishman
who is half-man, half-myth, half-
clown, half-hero.
If we listed all the fine things
the Irish have to say about them-
selves, we'd have them down as :
loyal to the death ; witty as all
hell ; fun-loving; handsome ; deeply
religious; sensitive; and with a fine
disdain for the materiel things of
life, to mention only a few self-
bestowed virtues.
And we listed all the sorry
things Irishmen call themselves,
we'd put down: cowardly; treacher-
ous; simple-minded; morose; ugly
as sin; deeply profane; coarse as
crows; and with a shrewd eye for
a shilling, to name hut a few self-
bestowed vices.
This is to say that. the Irish are
jest like everybody else. Which, of
course, is ridiculous, and any
Irishman worth his weight ill boil-
ed 'potatoes wilt attack this slan-
der at the drop of a 'crock.
There's one thing about the Irish,
for •example, that stamp out like,
the head on a draught of Guinness.
Aside, of course, from the fact
that they're bad-tempered, gar-
rulous, inconsistent, self-pitying,
lyrical, humourous, warm-hearted
and entirely cherming-,
And that one thing is the mem-
ory of them. They have a mem-
ory that would make a self-respect-
in g elephant wind his trunk around
his left ear in an ecstasy of em-
barrassment. The IriSh have
never forgotten anything, whbdi is
at once their curse anti their glory.
An Irishman just one jump out
of the bog will remjnd you with
some disdain that the emerald isle
was a centre of learning, a cultur-
ed, Christian country, when the
British were just climbing out of
their 'coracles and wiping the woad
off their faces. And good for him.
But the same fellow will tell you
the 'reason he hates the Knglish
because of the rough treatment
his folk got from Cromwell. To
hear him tell it, you'd think it had
been laSt not 200
years ago.
Another thing you'll waive ahuot
lite Irish IS their immense self-
ti.isfaetion, Who else would 'ex-
cuse the possession of a. foul tem-
per by ilechteing proudly: "I guess
We the Irish In. Me?"
One more national trait is their
glee for throwing cold water. They
tIolet really mean it. But show an
Irishman a silver lining and he'll
show you a black cloud.
However, it takes all kinds to
mare a world, and sonic of my

About ninety-four per cent of
this talking and writing is pure
Irish blather, but the remainder
is as fine 'and true as anything
that has come from tongue or pen.

I am no authority on the Trish,
and I promise that anyone who
finds a single "begorrah" in. this
column may clobber me with a lep-
rechaun. But it behooves me, as
a student of the highways and by-
ways, the odds and sods, to peer
through the fog, and squelch
through the hog, in an honest ef-
fort to find the real essence of the
Irish. -v-v-
Fortunately for the cause of
pure research, there, are hordes of
genuine authorities on Ireland and
the Irish. They are ell Irishmen,
of course. No nation on earth has
found himself so fascinating- as the
Irish, No people has ever examiu-
eel itself with, such untiring de-
light, such hopeless disgust,
Most of the confusion about the
Irish must rest with their writers.
The brooding, turbulent, hilarious,
soaring language of their poets,
story-tellers mid dramatists has

\\'ed. March 16, Board of Management, 8.20 p.m,
Last year when the filcher C.P.R.
property was turned over to the
town without charge we hailed the
transfer as a wonderful opportunity
to provide park facilities for our
own and future generations, We
pointed out that over the course of
the coming years it would he pos
sible to gradually beautify the entire
river front front the Berry Patch
right around to Vit'l Gria $t reel.
With the same idea in hind the
town council very wisely set the'
Bent fteettlirtal lant1 aside' as park
area, nhich could not be sold for
residential or industrial purposes.
This was done before there were ,any
concrete plans for the development
of the land, inn in the knowledge
that there was a terrific llstteutiaal as
a riverside parkway,
The way things have turned out
now indicates that a project which
we b eli eved wou ld ta k e years to
accomplish may be started in the
immediate future. Berr). Door
the town got together last i;all to
begin work on a park near. the Mc!
Kenzie bridge. A good start was-
made, clearing out stumps and rub-
bish from the •bottom of the pond
and creating the foundation for the
park itself along the bank.
Only a few weeks ago the Wing-
ham Sportsmen's Association an
'loomed their intention of creating a
bird sanctuary and park along both
the Turnberry and Wingham sides
of the Lower Town pond, and will
begin work as soon as the snow is
gone.
One other public body should be
vitally concerned in this develop-
ment. The \Vingham Public Util-
ities controls the water right on the
Lower Town pond and the two
dams. If the PUC would co-operate
with the municipality and the
Sportsmen the results would really
be worthwhile. Public Utilities con-
trols a large reserve fund which is
growing with each passing year.
According to Hydro regulations this
reserve must he set aside, but we
have also observed that Hydro is
highly sympathetic to the use of
such funds for beautification. Since
the money came directly out of the
pockets of local consumers, it would
seem only right that some of it could
be returned in the form of civic im-
provements. We find that Mayor
IS IT REALLY
NECESSARY?
The other day, as the warming
sun Of early March melted some of
the ice and snow from the family
car we were horrified to see all the
rust spots showing through the
paint. " Horrified, we say, for that
was a new ear only ten months ago.
Most of the rust spots are on the
tail end of the machine — the spot
where all the salty slop from the
streets and hip-„hwas comes to rest.
T1 t:tl destruction to vehicles
the Province of Ontario must
amount to millions of dollars a year.
Vein may not realize it but most
ears are traded in not because they
have reached the end of their me-
chanical usefulness, but rather be-
cause their owners want to get rid
of them before the rust has eaten
through the bodies.
Frankly, we think the manufac-
turers of these ears could do a lot
more about rust protection than
they do, but the chief fault lies in
the repeated layers of moisture-
gathering and corrosive salt which
the motor vehicle picks up during
the winter months.
Yes, certainly we would rather
put up with the salt nuisance than
risk driving on icy roads, but there
is considerable talk nowada3t about
the use of other types of ice inhibi-
tors which would not be so hard on
the ears. It's about time to get eon-
crete action.

R. E. MoKinnev, member of the
Public Commission and a
former P.C.C. chairman, is' heartily
in agreement with its on this ques-
t ion.
We have dune a lot of talking
about inducing industries to estab-
lish in \\Ingham ---- with some con-
siderable success. Conk! anything
be more valuable to this community
than the impression which would lie
,created in the mind of a visiting in
(1w-46,111i:A h the sight of a beanti
full river drive and park area? It
would indicate a pride in our town
that such a man would be sure to
remember.
There is another very compelling
argument in favor of „attraceiye local
parks, too. With the week-end death
toll on public highways mounting
every year many families would wel-
come a place to enjoy fresh air and
relaxation right at home, with no
driving risks involved. The lake-
shore beaches have become so
crowded that. there is often scarcely
room for a family to enjoy a picnic.
What could he finer than a - picnic
spot along the hanks of the Mait-
land River?
. • BIG DAY FOR BOYS
Saturday will see minor hockey
teams in Wingham from many of
the surrounding towns to take part
in the annual police tournament.
The event is sponsored by Grey-
Bruce Police Association and since
it has been held several times pre-
viously its importance is well-estab-
lished and interest is certainly keen.
The police association has been
doing a geeat job for boys in this
area and the results are likely to be
seen in years to come, when a low
rate of juvenile delinquency will re-
ward the "cops" for their efforts.
Another very successful project
carried out by the same police as-
sociation is the annual .. police bon-
spiel, which-it in progresstoday;
Rinks have entered from as far
afield as London and Toronto, in-
cluding one or two rinks from
RCMP detachments.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Heart3,- congratulations to the
Jo\ enile hockey team, winners of
the \\ )AA championship. The boys
will now go on to try their blades
in the OMHA finals. the_
teams, particularly
those engaged in minor sports, have
taken a lot of championShips during
the past ten years. Not only have
there been some fine hockey teams
but Wingham teams have also ex-
celled on the ball diamond. The re-
cord is indicative of fine ycitmg ath-
letes and devoted leadership on the
part of the men who have managed
• and coached the team.
One thing must he remembered
by the lads-who makeup these cham-
pionship teams,'however—it is more
important to learn how to lose with
good grace than to win a champion-
ship. Life is not made up of Vic-
tories every day of the week. Every
young fellow must meet his share
of defeats — and the real 'champion
is the one who can take his reverses
without complaint.
BARGAIN AIR FARES
COMING
There's little chance that inter-
national aid fares will drop soon
enough to affect any of your sum-
mer travel plans.
But, says Clive Baxter in The
Financial Post, if you're prepared to
wait until mid-October and tlie be-
ginning of the off season you can
look for .-otne sweeping cuts on most
rilliS.
That is the betting in airline
circles as harassed executives made
plans to head for International Air
Transport Association's ethergeney
fare meeting in Paris, opening Feb-
ruary 23.
It is generally agreed however
that there won't Ite_ a repeat of last
fail's negotiations at Honoluln,
which threatened an open fare war
starting April 1.
