your thoughts and in prayer you
Will he prepared better to join in
the triumphant hymn of the Easter
Morn.
Well may Christiees break into
song at Easter time! Jesus, ss Paul'
expressed it, brought life and Int,
mortality to light when be rose
front the dead- when "He Abolish-
ed Death:" Then as the earth in
reborn out of wittier with the
t'oming of spring HO men were
given to understand, "the hies
tinguishable hoop.," that had long
challenged them. Men's souls were
not blown out like candles into
empty darkness. Those lines that
Shakespeare put into the lips of
MaeBeth -- lines that speak the
ultimate in atheism----are just NO.14
true—
"Life's hut a walking shadow;
a poor player,
That struts and frets his Man
upon the stage,
And then is heard, no more; it
is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound
d f ry •
Signifying nothing"—
Immortality.
Is in our instincts.
Among pritnitve peoples ;whether in
Africa, Europe or North America
loc. find evidence of this hope. In-
sure built-irehlt-of-goidonee the
birds have returned .from the.
South. Man, is equipped with con-
science, with its voice of condem-
nation or Approval We see that too.
many songs remain unsung when
death conies, too many pictures ors-
painted, too much love unsatisfied.
Mozart, as the mists of death gath-
ered, asked for more of the har-
monies that had M given Mari.. delight.
Victor Hugo. in his seventieth
year sold, -"Winter is on my head,
but Spring is in my heart. Par a
half eentoty ,have been writing
but I feel. I have not said a thous,
andtit part of what is in me", What
about your love of dear ones--.is it
all "used up" — the little girl
expressed it? Immortality is not
only in our instinct*. hut in our
conscience-we ought to have. time
for life full .expression. fu . expreseion. and
makes His children capable of .lov-
lug. Sorely he will not cut oft our
loved ones irretrievably. That were
to mock us. "His loving irindoess
endureth forever". "Yea—though I
walk through ;the valley of the
eihadoW of death Will fear no evil
It was Jesus who brought this
"Invincible surmise" forth to the
light and clothed it with his own
loving personality - with Life.
Those first disciples cowering in
defeat and despair were galvanized
into action so that they suddenly
leap upon the world with it mes-
sage of victory and power through
Christ. They were perfectly willing
to suffer and to die as a witness to
their .faith in the power of their
risen, -Lord.
The story is told of a lecturer in
Russia. He attacked Christianity
as an obsolete faith, a capitalistic
product whose nullity was easy to
prove. He was so confident in his
argument that he granted permis-
sion to anyone in his audience to
express comment. A shy and awk-
ward young priest came forward
and said three words of the saluta-
tion which is exchanged by all on
Easter night: "Christ is risen".
As one man the audience rose and
replied as was their beautiful cus-
tom--"Verily he is risen!" All the
skeptic argument was swept away.
So you too may say with a con-
viction horn of the deathless quali-
ty er His soul, "Now is Christ risSn
from the Dead". Trust yourself to
Him. Commit yourself to Him and
Immortality will not remain an
Argument but a life, His life iii
you. And you will say, 'Thanks be
to God who giveth us the .victory
through Jesus Christ".
EASTER THOUGHTS Jesus would us,

Immortality
We were at a. cold meet supper
recently, sponsored by a women's
organization. The Old Girl was as
nervous as a mother with a klepto-
maniac child. She saw the, tell-
tale glitter in my eyes when I was
confronted by those plates piled
with sliced meat, those stacks of
fresh, home-inade bread and she
waterhed. me, like a hawk:
Panay, I had to get tricky.
"Isn't she a knockout?"" I said,
pointing at a..young lady who was
jest leaving. No woman can re-
gist looking. While her head was
turned, I, crammed a slice of bed
into my pocket. But she frisked
me as soon as we left the shall.
I lost my pieee.of bread, anteliid
to settle for a piece' of ber mind.
On the nhoire my wile is tni-
erant of this aberration of mine.

meal.

Two influences in my life created
this' hajiit of -garnering any spare
food. Since my prisoner-Of-war
days, I've alWays had a deep-rooted
fear of going hungry, In those
days I discovered that a good,
thick Crust tucked away about the
person, was more comforting than
thoughts of home.
*X-- X-
I remember one great thumeini
coup I pulled off there. I started
with Ike excellent, if filthy, shirt
which. I was wearing and hadn't
had off for six weeks. It Ionic me
a week, but I trailed that for a,
-cheap shirt and pair of gloves,
gloves for cigarettes, the cigarettes
for an onion, the onion for a bottle
Of homemade boodh and the 110001
for a Ited Cross chocolate hat.
I fondled the -chocolate, un-
wrapped and rewrapped it, smelled
it, and made out a schedule where-.

for eight -days. That night, lying
in bed thinking lecherously of my
bar, I was OVPTedne by lust,
snatched it from sander the pillow,
and gnawed and snarled may way
through it, to •the accompaniment
of piteous protests from my room-
mates, I was sick shortly and
lost the works, to their delight,
But t have never been casual
about food since those days.

Besides. this, I have a feeling,
instilled in me as a child, that
waste is a sin. There was no
waste at Oiu house. Leftover por-
ridge, for exanmle, went into
big pot of soup always sitmoeringi
and gave it body and flavor. In
the depths of the depreesied, thy
mother invented a new kind of

Gorrle, April 8, 11)60
Editor, Advance-Threes,
Dear Sir:
Having been -a former member of
Huron County Connell I will al-
ways have an interest in the af-
fairs of the County. I note with
interest the progress being made at
the Huron County Home at Clin-
ton. No doubt this will he an im-
pressive edifice when completed,
I understand -the 65-year-old build-
ing is to be demolished.
It is in this regard that I wish
to offer a. suggestion. Occasional-
ly in the press we see discussions
of civil defence and what would
and slimed be ,done if ary atomic
war should break oat. One of
the main suggestions is to evacu-
ate, as fast as possible, large sec-
tions of the population from the
larger cities to rural sections of
the country in the hope that they
could -he absorbed and given shel-
ter in these areas. While this sug-
gestion has -merit, it has never been
explained junt how or where these
people would go. No doubt farm
and small town people would do
their best, hut this would only take
care of part of, for Instance, the
one million people in Toronto,.
My suggestion is this: Rather
than demolish the old county home
this 'building should be turned ov-
er to the Civil Defence organiza-
tion, and that it -he maintained by
them and held in case of emergee-
cy.
Thia building may not meet the
present requirements of the De-
partment of Welfare as a county
'tome, but that (Idea not meats it
is not a good building, lify obser-
vations are that the outside wells
amid roof are in good condition and
With some repairs to the back ver-
anda would last for twice its pre-
sent age. Another thing in its fa-
vor as a shelter would ,be the fact
that It could he heated, as at pre-
:Sent, froth the central heating
plant. If the federal or provincial
and local civil defence authorities
are serious about their program I
believe that they should be given
the opportunity by county mitten
to take over the care arid mainten-
ance of this building as a civil de-
tente headquarters for this area,
It is the sincere wish of every-
one that war will never' again Conte
to this earth, but of this we can-
not be sure. Disarmament talks
and summit meetings of the great
powers we hope will rule out the
possibility of war, but I can re-
member as a boy, many years ago,
similar talks were taking place,
and since then two world wars
have been fought. Until we have
proof that agreements among na-
tions will not become scraps of
paper our only recourse is prepar-
edness for the worst or the best,
In the past we have seen a mini-
her of public buildings declared ob-
solete for the purpose for which
-they were built 'but are now use-
ful for other purposes. The build-
ing- that houses the Huron County
museum was a former public
school in Goderich. The former
public school in Clinton has been
converted to other use and the
former Wingham high school now
houses the ORNX studio.
I sincerely hope that Huron
County Council will give this mat-
ter favorable consideration and -be-
fore demolition is commenced, the
Civil Defence Organization in Hu-
ron County, with the co-operation
of federal and provincial authori-
ties, will be given a chance to pre-
serve and keep in readiness for de-
fence purposes 'one of the few re-
maining buildings erected by our
worthy predecessors in public life.
Yours sincerely,
Elmer J< Farrish

A news story in the Kitchener-
Waterloo Record last week recount-
ed the sad tale of persons in Tees
water being taken in by a magazine
salesman who, according to the re
port was posing as a representative
of the \\Ingham General Hospital.
According to the sales talk, he was
selling subscriptions and the pro-
ceeds were to go to the hospital.
Just how many people were taken
in by the falsehood is not known.
PROPER AUTHORITY
One of the most important steps
to be taken in Wingham in recent
years was the decision to establish
a parks commission, recently made
by the town council. .
• . Parks hove a way of being every-
body's business and nobody's busi-
ness. • They are a municipal asset
whiCh„. in tough times, we can some-
how get along without — and to
some voters the times are simply
never good enough to warrant the
expenditure involved. Our entry in-
"to 4.''new and more. enlightened era
of thought, however, has convinced
a majotity of people that a town is
not merely a collection .of buildings
in which to live and grub out a busi -
ness. Such an attitude may have
been., necessary when the country
was,raw and very new, but that day
has 'long since passed.
. The new parks commission, we
believe; will fulfill a very useful
purpose, in that it will include repre-
sentatives of all the local groups in-
terested in the development of the
community. In the course of a few
years \\Tinhorn should be a nroch
prettier and more attractive town,
DS.T. STARTS SHORTLY
At, the end of this month towns
and Villages, • as well as the cities,
will swing back to daylight saving
tirite for 0.e .summer months. Per--
sonally we love the long evenings,
with daylight in which to enjoy
sports,-gardening, or whatever other
interests take one outside. We do,
however recognize the complaints
of the farm people, who contend that
they find DST most inconvenient.
There is definitely a conflict of
interestse...and as far :as we can see
there always will he; for farm people
are much-out of doors -during the
summer months and don't feel any
need to lengthen the hours of daye
light after -supper, as do the Office
and factory workers who long for a
little extra time to enjoy 'summer
activities. -
The big rub, however, is the date
for termination of fast time. For
many years it ran from the end of
April to the end of September but
more recently many municipalities
have extended the fall changeover
date to the latter part of October—
and confiision supreme has been the
net result. Now, in an effort to
standardize the situation, many
towns and villages have decided to
follow the lead of the city of Toron-
to and in all probability the final
date will be the end of October.
It does seem that this is just
about the only solution, for the big
cities will never, in any case, govern
theins +ves. according to the prefer-
ences of the smaller places, and resi-
dents of Ontario outside the city
face eternal trouble when their own
municipalities are not on the same
time as the cities.
All kinds of town folk would
gladly give way to the farm people
in this dispute if it could be done—
but the whole affair is now in the
grip of circumstances which make
a, Change back to the old ways im-
possible.

Apparently one alert housewife be-
came suspicious and called the hos-
pital.
Just to keep things straight, Bo
person is doing any collecting for
the Wingbain General Hospital:.
There is no campaign for funds
under way, and any person who sug-
gests anything to the contrary is
attempting to collect money by
fraudulent means.
This case, of course, is just an-
other angle in the old con game—and
a most despicable one at that, It is
bad enough for these fast-talking
salesmen to use any sort of fraudu-
lent methods, but when the name of
the local hospital 'is employed it is
doubly bad.
WE HYPOCRITES? ARE
The unwholesome situation in
South Africa, where all the brute
force of a dominant white govern-
ment is being employed to quell the
natural aspirations of the native
population, ha's brought out some
queer reactions in our own lands.
The government of Canada 'refit's- .
ed to openly censure the government
of South Africa over its treatment
of natives, even when 70 of the latter
were gunned down in the streets.
But when the premier of the country',
the man primarily .responsible for
the injustices being carried out there,
was shot at the week-end our own.
government hastened to.send a mes-
sage of sympathy, which expressed
hope for his speedy recovery, and
horror at the lawless act which had
injured him.
The contention is that since
South Africa is a member of the
British Commonwealth of NationS,
a.s we are, we must refrain . froM
recognizing the brutal facts.. It . is
supposed to be a "domestic" .sita-
ation with which the South African
government is concerned, and there-
f ore non e-etfeon r business.
If the man next - door to you came
home every night at six o'clock and
proceeded to beat his wife and chil-
dren it would most certainly' be a
"domestic" prOblem with which you
would have no legal right to concern
yourself but surely you .would
have a moral obligation to take
immediate action to prevent the
cruelty.
Racial discrimination is the most
vital problem which faces 'mankind
today. If we Canadians haven4 the
guts to declare ourselves against
such inhumanity, and to.. take what-
ever action is possible, we will have
small reason to feel we can escape
the inevitable consequences. White
men must face the facts that they
are not superior to black ones or
brown ones or Yellow ones: We
have no divine right to our positions
of supremacy. The Lord has simply
been very kind to us in the past
thousand years — and, who knows,
the blacks might become the favored
race in the next thousand. We've
had our turn and it is highly ques-
tionable that we have done our
decent best with it,
DANGER NOT OVER
A recent federal-provincial health
conference warned Canadians
against complacency as far as the
tuberculosis threat is concerned.
Doctors and scientists have stated
that TB organisms are becoming
toughened to the modern drugs, so
that the cures which were so effec-
tive a few years ago are no longer
100 per cent reliable.
NOT BOOK WORMS
Canadians should read more
books, thinks 'lime Financial Post,
which says: "Though justifiably
proud of its high standard of living,
this country makes a poor showing
as a patron of literature,
"If the number of book shops per
capita can be taken as an index of
civilization, Canada is 14th on the
list. The only consolation is that
The U.S. is 15th.
