gardens hail the spring groves and woodland ring with voices while the wild birds build and sing charles kingsley what ever is the weather for easter if there are little folk in the home they will be full of questions about easter cus toms mother will explain to them that the date of easter changes each year because it depends on the movements of the moon easter sunday is the first sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox the egg is symbolic of life and to the early christians it represented the resurrection or jesus rising from the dead people of many lands egypt- ions romans persians and greeks for centuries have ev joyed coloring egg shells when boys and girls use their paint boxes or buy dye powder to paint easter eggs and decorate them with pretty designs they are following an old old custom the legend of the easter rabbit may be traced to an old german superstition that white hares laid eggs on easter eve and from that has come the hope that the easter rabbits may leave colored eggs and candies at the homes of good children to the reign of emperor con stantino in rome he declared that at easter everyone should join in the religious processions and should dress in new gar ments with the high cost of living and the amount of mon ey which must be spent to buy even a small childs outfit this new clothes for easter cus tom is an embarrassing one in many homes parents do well to be frank with their children and tell them honestly that there is only a certain amount for clothes in the family budget and this must be spread over the whole family as fairly as possible if a son or daughter can catch a glimpse of the necessary plann ing for clothes for everyone in the family they are not so like ly to be so demanding about new things and they will be most willing when they are able to help with this expen diture many people joke about a childs sunday best but a child should be encouraged to take a pride in his appearance especially when he attends church sunday should be a special day and good clothes are part of day set apart feeling every child should have the priviledge of attending church with his parents on easter sun day man iooketh on the out ward appearance but god iook eth upon the heart easter is the time when the heart rejoices at the return of spring and the glad certainly that even as christ rose again from the

there has been an improvement in traffic safety at the same time a re port from manitoba where thee driver examinations are wide spread and noted for their strict ness leaves us fearful officials in winnipeg are considering the establishment of 70 mile per hour speed limits on some sections of the highways it is fair to question whether regardless of how efficient drivers tests may become it is safe to allow speeds as high as this speed limits are not as we have often said inherently cor rect they can be and often are altered at the suggestion of the legislators as the highway safety
