Towns To fceiiirmtwr, "Except to its inhabitants and friends, many a town is to the irst of the world merely an unknvwn name on the map", says the Patirfinder. "Motorists who remember pre-wir travel have foi gotten places they once slowed duwn-little-to pass heedlessly tin ough.” Not every town can b,^ist of famous sons, or of histone ♦cvern« or of extraordinary natural curiosities. Ye. any town can di -.tinguish itself by the simple device of widespread p! inting of some single flower or shrub. Put an althea i maybe you know it as Ross of Sharon) on every lawn in a town and the place will grow ^teaddy in favorable fame. Petunias or roses or hollyhocks, or whatever grows well will do as welt The effect im passing strangers is worthwhile. Os deeper value is the stimulated price of th'we who call the town home. A town like an individual, needs something to feetf its pndv. April Fool's Day Is Waste Paper Day. Saturday, AprH 1. may be April Fool’s Day to most people, but tn the resldenta of Walkerton it is Waste Paper Dav Thet is the date set aside for a com-munity-wide collection of wastepaper, which includes old books and magazines. Main Street Gossip You see it in churches. It adorns monuments, flags, and heroes' medals. There are many fascinating stories behind the symbol ts the ctcmm. Centuries before Christ died, it was a symbol widely kno\Vn throughout the ancient world. The Egyptians called it "Canob , after a T-shaped instrument used to measure the annual rise of the Nile on whose bounty the IKe of the nation depended For other nations of the East, it was an "Urani,” and took the shape of two pieces of wood with handles. By rubbing the two sticks together, the ancients kindled sucred fire. As early as 1225 8.C., Greek worshipers of Gacchus offered cakes of flour with a figure of the cross imprinted on th* m. The swastika, or twisted ermts. which became a symbol of tenor in the 20th Century, appears on the oldest medallions of the Buddist i and was a mystical ‘good omen in many Hindu sects. The cross was used as an instrument of national punishment in the time of Abraham. As a gadlowa, it was a familiar to the Egyptians, Africans, Macedonians, Greeks and Romans To various people it has meant a symbol of eternal life, productive power, or the life-giving qunhtie* of the sun For Christians around the world, the crons is a symbol of their faith It was on a Roman cross at Golgotha where Christ died, only to rise again three days later, so that, ac -ording ta the Bible, "whomwver beheveth in Hirn should not parish but have everlasting life." The early Christiana portrayed Christ as the Good Shepherd, sometimes carrying a crow instead of a orfx>k. From thia vvo!\’rd the rtWom of representing Hts people as sheep or lambs By the end of the 6th Century, the first form of crucifix showed

the Lamb represented on the croHH itself. Crucifixes came to be widely distributed by the church as aide to devotion. In the New World, the Spaniards conquered New Spain in the name of the crows. But they were astonished to find the holy emblem of their faith in the temples of the Axtecs. Colossal stone monuments throughout Mexaco attest to an Indian civilization which adored crosses similar in design to the Greek, Latin, and Maltese forms. The cross of Lorraine, which Joan of Arc wtwe Into battle, become General Charles de Gaulle's symbol in leading French resistance movement during World War 11. A swi.^ welfare agency which adopted as its emblem a red cross on a white field-revers-ing the color scheme in the Swisi flag — in 1864 organized a conference to help the sick and wounded soldiers of the wld. Sixteen natiur-i attended and established the International Red Crosr Legend says mat ttK crucifixion cross was made of four types of wood to represent the fourcorners of the earth. The simple Latin cro^s. with an upright and -ingle -horter transom, is the nv st common. With two transoms it is called a patriarchal cross; with three, a papal cross. A cross widely used by Slavs and other* of Eastern rites has two transoms and a slanting crosspiece below. The Greek cross has equal arms. St. Andrew’s ch«s is like an X; the Celtic, or lona, crows bears a circle the center of which is the crossing. The rich history of the cross is shrouded in legend and ^»uperstaiution. A crucifix was said to have shed blood in 1512. during an Eawter Day battle between the French and Spanish. A statue of Christ on the cross reportedly performed healing wonders dunng the Plague of Malaga tn 1649. Legend also Ims it that when St. Francis Aswisi was praring. a voice from the crucifix told him. "Repair my house." At first he took "house” to mean church; when hr later learned that it meant his own spiritual life, he renounced his worldly golds and took up orders. — M S G -— EMtrr * Buy of Tradition When family ami friends gather for traditional ham 'n eggs with fresh-from-the oven bread on Easter at noon, surprise everyone It’s ever so easy to da.

Since the children always want to find

the prize winning golden egg, they will naturally need an incentive. Pauline decided to have the little darlings hunt for some (X the articles they had lost during the winter months. For a prize, she would give them hard boiled eggs for them to decorate. Paul came home from work just in time to find the whole family on there hands and kne«| hunting for something. He could hardly believe his eyes but he thought that maybe they were playing an early April Fool's piank on him so he just sat dow^ io his easy chair as if nothing was happening. Just as he began to relax after a hard day at the office, little Amy pops up and says, "Hi Daddy, want to join in the hunt for the golden egg?" Well n<M, his eyes lite up at. the word golden and jumped down on the floor and began to hunt.
