Easter! The day children look forward to
for a visit from \the Easter Bunny bringing
chocolate goodies and decorated Easter
eggs. What a scramble there is Easter
morning to see where the Easter Bunny hid
them. That is excitement and happiness for
the little ones but let us not forget Easter
is
The Day of Resurrection
Of .triumph over death,
The hope of our redemption.
Hail Him with every breath
Hallelujah!

March carne in like a gamboling lamb with
promise of continuing spring-like weather.
Mother Nature, in a perverse mood, decided
that was not to be. She did not wait to take
March out like a lion. On the very first day of
spring winter came back with a blast of snow
and icy winds that gave more snow than
January had brought us. it is still with us. It
stilled the bird calls as they sought shelter
from the stormy cold. The peeping -up spring
flowers were covered with a blanket of
white. Brilliant sunshine is vanishing some
of the snow but at this date (March 26) more
of that wintery weather seems to be headed
our way. so say the weather folk.

An advertisement for a water purifier sent
me scurrying, flashlight in hand, to
examine the interior of my tea kettle. The ad
warned that there were all kinds of horrible
things lurking in our drinking water. It
instructed us to look in our tea kettles. There
is frequently a coat of lime there but that had
been recently eradicated and peering as
closely as one could there was found no
noticeable things hiding there. The ad
suggested that unpurified water could be the
cause of some arthritis and goodness knows
what else and that a water purifier was
needed. It also suggested that some people
got rid of arthritic pains after they drank
enough purified .water. That may be so in
some areas but drinking the water here for
many years without discovering any "hor=-
rible things" in it does not cause any worry.
Romances sometimes come about in
strange ways. A 15 -year-old lad in Scotland
put a message in a bottle and set it adrift in
the North Sea. It was picked up on a
Norwegian beach by a young girl. She
answered his note and they carried on a
correspondence. That is no longer a need for
- they married. There is no ocean nearby
here but you could cast a bottle message in
the Maitland River and who knows what
far -away beach it mieht be picked up on?
