The day children look forward to for a visit from \the Easter Bunny bringing chocolate goodies and decorated Easter eggs.

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?
