A t
Rambling with Lucy'
It's great to be home for Easter after having been a patient in Clinton
Public Hospital for 12 weeks,
Clinton Hospital is the homiest hospital and Lucy was back among
friends who were so kind and patient with her in her illness, She
appreciated the cards, notes, flowers and gifts as well as calls during
her stay. And she regretted that, being treated in the physiotherapy
department she oft' times missed callers during the afternoon visiting
hours. But apart from this, She met many of her readers who were kind
enough to say that they missed her Ramblings—particularly about the
birds.
One of the nurses looked around her room and said, "Well, Lucy, you
don't see many birds in here, do you?" The window was high and looked
out on a brick wall but Lucy was thankful fora bed—even had it been in
the hall—when she entered that busy and excellent institution for
healing. And during her stay, there were so many acquaintances and
friends who came and went as patients, and.friends of Carl's who called
and introduced themselves, and being wheeled up to enjoy the solarium
and T.V. shows when she felt inclined was relaxing and gave one
something to think about besides one's troubles, The pleasant
furnishings of the room alone elevated one'kspiritg.
Easter is the Christian celebration of J'eS'us' Ctri4St'rg
from the dead. The b'onds of the tomb were broken. It is a moveable
feast held in March or April each year just at a time that trees, bulbs,
shrubs etc. are springing to life again after being dormant during the
winter,
As Lucy rode home in the ambulance, she could even see faint tints in
the woods of swelling buds, And in her garden in spots where the sun had
melted the snow, the spring bulbs were peeping through and a few
'snowdrops were in sight. And when she got into the house, Carl had
picked a small bouquet of snowdrops and digger! up a clump of daffodils
and potted them. He says that there aren't many snowdrops this year
and Lucy's not surprised. Perhaps there won't be many daffodils and
tulips, either, for it takes a prolonged season of cool damp weather to
cure the spring flowering bulbs. Last spring it was cool enough but dry.
We didn't even have enough rain to wash away the grime of winter, In
fact, there were no heavy rains until the end of August—the ground on
light soil was bone dry.
Lucy was delighted to see the birds again. Carl tells her that on the
first day of spring there was quite a flock of robins—just now there only
seems to be a pair in possession of the garden. The kildeers appeared
there, too, in the corner lot, and a flock of redpolls and a pine siskin
were about the garden. Small flocks of kinglets have been letting down
in the garden on their way north,
Lucy has seen the downie woodpeckers, the red-breasted and white-
breasted nuthatches, cardinals, sparrows, juncos, black-capped
chickadees, purple-headed grackles and of course, the odd starling at
the feeders,
This year, the evening grosbeaks, nomads of the north, have visited
the feeder, Lucy is told. And since she came home, Mrs. James
Hutchings reported seeing a large flock in the cedars on Hayfield
Terrace.
Their gay plumage showed up beautifully against the green. No doubt
they were looking for food in the cedar berries.
One day early in March, old Mr. Cardinal not only allowed Mrs.
Cardinal into the feeder but he shelled a sunflower seed and fed her.
Carl could hardly believe his eyes for this was an early date for such
tender courtship. Then, too, cooing of the mourning dove has been
heard for at least two weeks, In former years, when Lucy lived on Main
Street and heard the mourning dove she knew that warm weather was at
hand. But somehow, this year, such signs seem to fail for it has been so
cold that the sap has not run well and so far has been a very poor season
for the maple syrup festivals.

The Clinton Wernen'S Institute
met in the Agriculture Hoard
Rooms on March 23. The meeting
opened with the Ode and Mary
Stewart Collect. The roll call was
answered with the paying of fees.

Mrs. C. Elliott, Agriculture
and Canadian Industries convener
reported that the attendance at the
meeting held in the C.H.S,S, on
March 20 was very ,disappointing.
A speaker and appraiser from
Victoria and Grey spoke about the
The religious organizations of
Christendom came under
scrutiny this past weekend as
Jehovah's Witnesses assembled
together in the Goderich District
Collegiate.
Local Witnesses met with
seventeen other congregations to
form an audience of 1265 persons
who listened to Bible discussions
that included comments from
John Didur, District Supervisor
for Mid-Western Ontario.
Mr. Didur in his lecture, 'Are
You `Marked' For Survival?"
quickly paralleled the history of
ancient Israel with the activity of
many today. Using the Bible book
of Ezekiel the speaker reminded
his audience that Israel did not
always worship the Creator but
took a course in opposition to Him
expressing the view that God does
not care what man does.
"Such attitude prevails today,"
Didur stated, "while professing
belief in God the church systems
deny by their actions the very
existence of the Creator".
Mr, Didur cited examples of
church dignitaries condoning
fornication, adultery and
homosexual behaviour as part of
the evidence of a moral
breakdown in the church.
new tax laws for farm people and a
very vital topic at this time,
Mrs. N. Tyndall reported the 4-
H girls had started their project
"Sleepwear" and over 40 girls
had enrolled.
Mrs, Leona Holland was
election' chairman and after
declaring all offices vacant,
brought in the Nominating
Committee's new slate of officers
for 1972:
President, Mrs. Amber Popp;
first vice,president, Mrs, Cecil
Elliott; second vice president,
Mrs. Russell Colclough;

social conveners, Mrs. F.
Cummings; Mrs, H. Murch, Mrs.
.M. Bridle; flower conveners,
Mrs. H. Managhan, Miss L.
Langford; curator, Mrs. C.
"Israel suffered a national
calamity because of moral,.
decay," he said, "and prophecy
indicates the same will come upon
those who set God's moral code
aside today."
Ezekiel chapter nine was used
to show that a marking work'is
now in progress, as Didur stated,
"a work accomplished by a
remnant of anointed Christians
that sets men apart from this
doomed system for survival into a
- new system that Jehovah God has
promised."
An urgent appeal was launched
for his listeners to follow closely
the high moral standards set by
the Bible. He cited chapter three
of the Bible book, Colossians as
part of the obligations for true
Christians today.
In conclusion Didur remarked,
"Youare marked if you hate what
is bad and love what is good.
Remember it is your choice,
choose wisely and survive."
During the weekend program,
23 persons were baptized showing
desire to find their way into this
new system and to assist others to
do likewise. According to
Jehovah's Witnesses, baptism
comes only after an extensive
course in Bible study,
