It means that the season of Lent is coming to an end and that Easter will soon be here. Palm branches are mentioned in the story and that is one of the things that we do to celebrate this story. In our church a parade with palm branches waving is a part of the story that we visualize. At lunches this week as a community the stories of the week continue as the Ministerial offers Lenten lunches for our body and soul. Only imagination can take us to the rest of the events that happened so many years ago — the torture, the cross, the tomb and finally Easter morning. As Christians we live by the example of Jesus. Like all the major religions of the world it can be very simple — love your God, love yourself and love others. The problems start when we try to tell others how to live their faith. - Morley told council in reporting on the meeting. The problem was that the London dispatch centre might have as many as five county ambulances outside the county in patient transfers at once, leaving one ambulance to cover the whole county. "Our response times were getting terrible," Morley said. "We're still in the business of doing in-county patient transfers," he said. Once the situation was explained to others at the meeting concerns were allayed, he said. served by the lunch committee during the break. The next meeting is April 19 with Betty from Bayfield as speaker. She will be bringing along some of her books. • Members can make donations for her group home if they choose, as well as the regular amount given to cover the expense of driving to Brussels. The May meeting will be May 17 with Dr. Heather Percival from the Seaforth clinic speaking. The 17th annual Huron Perth Diabetes Day held April 12 in Mitchell was discussed. Applications for this event were available for anyone wishing to attend. The bikes and skateboard and folks walking are one of the nicest parts of spring, to see people out and about lets you know that life goes on. Some of the dark days of winter you wonder if anyone is still around. The community is once again the benefactor of the hard work of the Optimist Club.
