Easter is one of the most joyously celebrated religious days in the year. The name Easter derives from EOSTRE, an ancient Teutonic Goddess of Spring. As Christmas has been identified with the winter solstice during the early developing years of the early Church so Easter was celebrated in the spring in recognition of the rebirth of nature. The Council of Christian Churches in 325 decided that Easter should be on the first Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon. The pilgrims making their way to the yearly Easter festival needed the light of the full moon. The identifying of the egg with Easter has been observed in many countries since anetont times. Symbolically the egg has been used in ancient Easter rites to represent the Spring* season: So here in Decatur our EGG TREE decwith esjf shells will be ready for the public the first day of spring, March 21st, We invite all who paint or draw to contribute to this now famous tree. Phone or stop in to see us and we will tell bow to tlx the egg shells. We want this year’s tree to be the best w« have ever had for it helps to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Decatur Public Library.

Television Hailed By School Teachers Used Extensively In Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (INS) —Television, far from competing with the three R’s for the attention of Philadelphia school children, has been welcomed right- into the classroom. Teachers hail it as the best innovation since the blackboard. More than 350 sets in Philadelphia public schools and another 1,500 to 2,000 in schools nearby bring the children thought-provok-ing programs geared to their study level in every subject from handicraft to zoology. On a typical day the youngsters may look at "r for Rhythm.” a 16-minute music-appreciation program in whcih the musicians unUally are their talented classmates and the lecturer an expert in the field. “You are an Artist,” another popular show, features the best artists in the school population. "Fit as a Fiddle" allows- youngsters to query physicians on health matters and “Classroom Play • house” brings in the offerings of local drama groups.

All of this and much mor®. Is televised into the classroom by the board of education. The board maintains an eight-man staff of producers and script writers under the guidance of Miss Martha A. Gable, often called "Miss Educational Television.’' It is her job to ■ evaluate program suggestions submitted by a committee based on recommendations by teachers. The program is charted by the staff ana produced by the station doing the airing. (Needed rehearsals, if ahy, are held at the schools. Before the show reached the screen, the homeroom teacher strives to arouse the interest of the class in what will be shown and points out what to -look for. When' the show is over, the teachers and class hold a general discussion. Some youngsters make TV reports rather than book reports; some keep daily weather maps and others stage make-be-lieve TV shows. The board of education has a small budget with which it pays its staff and union fees and sometime expenses of a guest. The air time is a public service donation by the station. The teachers like the sense of immediacy TV Imparts in the classroom and the way it increases the pupils' general information and improves enunciation. Although representatives from about 40 American cities and 23 nations have come to observe and praise this pioneer endeavor, the board is still far from satisfied. Right now it also contributes about five hours a week to stationWHYY, the first non-commercial F.M educational radio station in the area. The station hopes to go on television next year and when it does the board wants to go right along with it. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
