The sun has warmed the old pasture lot And the horses are grazing, contented and still Songbirds have sweetened the air with sounds Like the laughter of children at play The trees are in bloom and clouds float above On this beautiful gold - fashioned day. The season has changed...it's evident now. Last week there were patches of snow. Today the sunshine is clim- bing the hill. Odds 'n ends Finaily, iis S rinspring The beauties of spring are beginning to show. - Alice Leedy Mason We waited patiently and finally it's here. Spring — the season of rebirth. Short though it may be, it Is filled with beauty and magic and newness. We almost dare not blink for fear of missing some special moment — the . bursting forth of a tulip, the song of a robin, the gentle rain that cleanses the coun- tryside. Spring consists of Little Downy Things also writes Alice Leedy Mason: "Something new to sound and sight Has happened almost over- night And man must move with constant care For downy things are everywhere. Pussywillows, soft and round. Have dressed the willow tree down. Squirrels scampering through the trees Are scolding very noisily Baby rabbits venture out Beside the broken water spout. In the pasture on the lea The lambs all frolic merrily. Baby chicks like balls of str- ing Have gathered neath their mother's wing. Kittens think it's loads of fun Chasing beetles in the sun. A bee beside a buttercup Challenges a frisky pup. Ducklings love the coun- tryside With tall green grass where they can hide Or swim the brook with such a flair Like balls of fluff just floating there. The heart awakens new at last. To find the winter gloom is past... Because the Easter season brings A host of little downy things."

Store 333 MAIN STREET, EXETER Although Easter was two weeks ago, June Masters Bacher believes we can all keep a bit of Easter by shar- ing an Easter bouquet with our friends: "I've gathered in an armful Ofbrilliant Easter bloom Reminder of the springtime And brevity of gloom. The colorful arrangement Will light -touch each dark day. Keeping friendships safe and warm - My cashmere -like bou- quet. Each day I11 share a petal - A kindly thought or deed. Wafting love's aroma to Some lonely friend in need. Now. if 1 share my flowers It is true they'll fade away - But I've kept a bit of Easter By giving it away." Nature is not the only thing that changes in spring. People can't help but be affected by the magic of It all, as Virginia Katherine Oliver attests. "When spring comes in and flowers bloom In woodlands all about Walls can no longer hold me then And I must wander out. The little streams all lure me on Where banks of fresh new grass Seem to spread a mat of welcome Before me as I pass. As young birds spread their slender wings And soar to places high, I wander out and reach for space Where nature reigns nearby. I feel the need there to com- mune With every growing thing That joins to serenade me With a new song of spring... Sometimes spring can be beautifully described with a minimum of words: "A drop of rain caught in the leaf cup of a lilac flashes in the sunlight with an eternal splendour -t hat.pl}tshirteg the, glistening jewels of a monarch." -Author Un1iboMn • And in conclusion, the words of Goethe: "So then the year is repeating its old story again. We are come once more. thank God, to its most charming chapter. The violets and the May flowers are as its inscriptions or vignettes. It always makes pleasant impression on us, when we open again at these pages of the book of life." Sign in a bank: "Remember - part of what you earn belongs to you." A fool and his money are soon invited places. MR. AND MRS. CHUCK FORD Valerie Flynn and Chuck Ford were united in marriage on Saturday, April 25, 1981 at Exeter United Church by Rev. James Forsythe.
