Worshippers will celebrate with prayer, song and reverent ex- altation the most glorious Chris- tian holiday of all, Easter Sun- ay. Wherever there exists the sign of the cross, the faithful will make their way to mountain-top altars, to valiey shrines, to out- door arenas and to churches ring- ing with the happiness of Easter. Wherever they gather in Christ- endom, men of all colors and races will hail the risen Christ. GOOD FRIDAY OBSERVED Christian communities observed the solemn Good Friday ritual commemorating Christ's be- trayal, passion and death. In Jerusalem, soldiers of peace walked the way of the cross. Troops of the United Nations Emergency Force, including many Canadians, were among the 12,000 pilgrims who followed the heavy wooden crosses on the route Jesus took from his trial to his crucifixion and burial. It was the Holy City's hottest Good Friday in years, with tem- peratures near 90 and a merci- less sun beating down on the line of worshippers. Several fainted from the heat. =o \ Dr. Barbara Moore, British vegetarian who is hiking across the U.S., called this leg of the trip the most harrowing so far.

ESKIMO SHOWS WAY Mr. Casson said he was sick of begging across Canada and held up the generosity of Eski- mos at Frobisher Bay, on Baffin Island about 200 miles south of the Arctic Circie, as an example for other Canadians. The Eskimos crammed tiny Aurora Theatre here, parading past Mr. Casson to present him with their most valuable handi- crafts to be auctioned off in Tor onto in aid of refugees. Mr. Cas- son is assisting the Canadian Committee for World Refugee Year. "People are in need of food, skeiter, warmth," said Joannas- see, the Eskimo spokesman. "In the past we have lived that way ourselves, We want to help." Etuk presented a solid ivory. harpoon. Inutsiak gave a carving, a four-figure minature of a fam- at dinner.
