It has been jmid many times before, repeated much over the week end. and will be stated again many times in the future, but still people are people When trouble comes, such as wap the ca.se Sunday evening as another of nature's death and destruction storms hits people congest an area that needs help and do much more damage than they can ever do good The greatest help that could be given at a time such as this is to stay away from the immediate area that has been hit. Help is needed at times like this, but if must have organization and not just everyone coming and going here and there True, most of the sightseers at the troubled anea would help if necessary but knowing what should be done and how to go about it. makes it a different situation A few that are organized are much better than a large number on their own. Hits was not only the case at the time, but during the clean up operations that follow’. The respons, for help Sunday night was tremendous Many in-

Easter Around The World

dividual* assisted greatly in simple traffic control ax it seemed that everyone and their brother was in a car driving around With no electricity in the area and enough trouble already present, these cars added to the problems The volunteers that did help with the traffic were very valuable and also organized to a point of knowing what they were doing Such emergencies as this usually will not come in most people’s lifetime, but when and if such does come, a little common sense and simply following instructions can be a great service. The time comes afterward when one can give assistance to those hit by such as this, and that is the time to give your assistance or other help Despite the loss of life and property that did occur, those who weren’t affected can stop and give thanks for being fortunate in this respect The numbar could have have been much greater than waa the case in this n'cent freakish storm.

'■(hie just One. made His own way to Itfe through death He went the way all of us have to go. into the jaws of death. Coming through, as only He could, Jesus Christ opened the door to life The triumphant Conqueror of death in kingly fashion, flung the door back upon its hinges and then turned to the whole work! in gracious invitation to follow Him through —through death to life " This Easter message has special meaning for our tense and anxious Atomic Age, as it has for every historic epoch Sa Dr. Hoffman, “We live in a perplexed world that has lost its way. It will not find its way again until it finds the true way. That way is Christ, the only Way.” He adds that faith in Christ “takes history seriously because one day history will end It does not ignore the fact at life, it walks in the light. It does not sweep the taunt of death under the rug; it is on the load that passes through death to life." , As if in affirmation, sounds of joy and merriment ring out around ths world. Germanspeaking peoples actually tell each other special Easter stories (Oeste rmarchen) designed to produce laughter. A more vigorous demonstration of the belief that Easter Is the season of renewed health and hope is in the widespread European custom of “Easter smacks” Men and women exchange good-na-tured blows to keep each other young and healthy, and to assure good luck for the year. In Spain the affirmation of Easter is expressed in a riot of spring flopvers decorating altars and church facades. This flora] celebration is expressed in the Spanish term for Easter, paeeua de flores (Easter of flowers). Everywhere, children hunt tor brightly colored Easter eggs symbols of birth and regeneration But for Christians, the hopes and prayers for rebirth are captured in the simple yet dramatic mis—ge, "He is risen ”

SEASON OF HOPE ~ and THREATS

Voice Os The People Dear Editor: We were dJHti eased over the editorial, "Taxation Without Representation” that appeared in your paper recently Since IMS. we have tried placing the X-ray machine in all towns and central locations in the country in an effort to find out in which locatiions the machine would be the moat productive and where the attendance would ,warrant the expense of tying up the machine and workers for a day. There should be at least 200 persons reporting for an X-ray and, since the Board of Health made a ruling that no one under 18 years of age could be X-rayed at the machine, it has been difficult to roach that number in manv locations. So we have been confining the slaveys to locations wherv we can reach the greatest numbet and always find residents from Walkerton and Lincoln Township arc included in the number of X-rays through industry or in the ddwntown locations. In 1968, 125 persons were Xiiayed at the time we had the X-ray machine in Walkerton, and in 1961. there were a bare 200 X-rayed. At North Liberty in 1957, 293 persons reported for X-rays and, in 1960, 388 had Xrays. We, however, didn’t schedule North Liberty again until this year when the Weßa Aluminum Company roquestod the X-ray machine ba brought there to make it poestble to X-ray all of their employees. It has been our policy to do promotional (work in any community before the X-ray machine m to be operated there. We make every effort to stimulate community interest by working with i epreeentatives erf clube, organizationx and churches in an effort to alert the people to the importance of an annual chest X-ray. In New Carlisle last fall, we ran a tuberculin skin testing survey in order t© learn what the incidence of Infection was in OMve Township and. at that time, only 29 per cent were positive, so the committee felt that that group could be persuadeti to report tn the X-ray machine when it was in South Bend. We would be happy to conduct a similar survey in Lincoln Township at any time We are also ready to answer any cal) tor the X-ray machine and have now scheduled Lincoln Township and Walkerton for the meet aurrsy whlA wfl) be held Jtdy 1» thru she U and ^Ol MAhn
