Startling? Well perhaps not. Twentieth century man is not easily startled. Some will produce from these words a myth. Most will not bother with such intellectual exercise; for to them these words will be as much a part of the Easter scene as full churches, Easter lillies and fine music, pleasant and even acceptable but hardly startling. It would be interesting to speculate as to how the Easter story may have been received say eighteen or nine- teen hundred years ago. Many must have scoffed, but the history of growth of the early church indicates that many believed. To believer or scoffer the story was startling. It was not one to which you could be indifferent. It may well be that the centuries of Christian tradition have removed something of the dramatic impact of the Resurrection, but the implications of Belief remain un- changed. The message of Easter is still one of hope and victory. Man need not be confined by his limitations of mind and body. We can be led out of the blind alleys of our own endeavours into "The Way" of the more abun- dant life. This is a faith in a God who is concerned with a troub- led humanity and by his grace and love our burdens of guilt, sin and despair need no longer be intolerable. "For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also vourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto od, through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 6:9). 40 May Die In Easter Traffic The Council adds increased traffic density on the first long , possibility of e if the vehicle Based on current driving and pedestrian performances, the fear of the Canadian Highway Safety Council is that 40 people may die on Canada's roads and streets during the 78 - hour Easter weekend. of Last vear, 39 died in Easter road traffic between 6 p.m. Thursday and midnight Sunday. The five-year average for the Easter week-end is 36 road deaths.

SMILEY This is a time of year -- one of a very few -- when I feel deeply sorry for high school principals. It's the time when they have to start bidding on livestock, in the form of teachers, for next fall. Let's put you, gentle reader, into the boots of one of these sterling chaps for a few minutes. And let's say you have a staff of 60 at the moment. And let's say you don't know whether you're going to have 1,200 or 1,400 students next September. Oh, well. so far, only two people have officially resigned. Ary clod could hire two teachers. Un- less, of course, those extra 200 kids show up, which means two or three more, Even so, nothing to it. Ah, but tarry a moment, You know perfectly well that one, possibly two of your teachers, pre- ferably from among the married ladies on the staff, will become pregnant. You are fully aware that Mademoiselle Tartuffe, of the French department, had an unfortunate af- fair with young Jablonski, the basketball coach, and that one of them will be leaving. The giapevine has informed you that Mrs. Bill- ings, the old faithful in the History department, has been hitting the grape pretty regularly since her husband ran off with the waitress, Everyone knows the English department is rife TNT, 1 AAI Nn 7 di Fens hy AH Wiley, the department head, in February, of cirr- hosis of the liver, four of the English teachers, all equally qualified, have ben gunning for the position. No matter which gets it, all the others will quit in dudgeon, You have just heard that your Home Economics teacher, the one in charge of teaching girls to cook, planned the menu for the monthly meeting of the Unfulfilled Wives Club. And everybody came down with food poisoning. One of your junior science teachers has just blown up $850 worth of equipment and two students, dur- ing an experiment which completely justified your opinion of his knowledge of the subject. Little Miss Muffett, the geography teacher just out of college, is having discipline problems. You discovered this when you walked past her room and saw two boys hanging out the window. Investiga- tion revealed Miss Muffett hanging upside down, a boy holding each leg, They were testing the wind velocity, they explained, using her hair as a weather-vane, Monday morning, you heard that the director of your Technical department was in hospital, with third-degree burns, after trying to change a fuse at home. bury, refuses to teach the New Mathematics, or have anything to do with it, because "It's a lot of mon- sense." And on top of this, there are four teachers you'd dearly love to fire because of incompetence, emo- tionalism, idealism, being too fat or plain laziness. So you have two resignations, but you might wind up with 42. What to do? If you leave it too late, all the other principals, like so many dogs after a bone, are in there first, and you wind up with a collection of clots. If you jump in too early, and start hiring teachers right and left, nobody will resign and you'll wind up with 12 more teachers than the Board will pay for. And we fd yourself, As a result quite a few principals these days are treading the thin line "of lunacy. They start at shadows. They quail when they see a teacher look- ing surly. They stare with unconcealed horror at Mrs, Me- Gillicuddy's swelling waist-line, They flinch when a teacher knocks at their door. They pour oil on troubled waters, turn their backs and find that somebody has tossed a match into the mixture. Hard luck, chaps; and good hunting. --Toronto Telegram News Service
