Fortunately, m y interest was in the first. After a few aay of eating my way through Germany via Frank furt and Heidelberg to Baden- Baden, it was increasingly dif ficult to zipper my dresses closed. One of the city's thermal baths won't take off all the excess, but the management of the Grosse Gesellschaftsbad asks all patrons to weigh in and weigh out at the end of the two-hour siege. It said some customers lose as much as four pounds. I found that you also lose. for the time being, all your clothes. Fortunately for this inhibited American, the ladies baths were separate. They guided me to the steam room, where the tem perature was only 120 degrees F and where hearly souls climb to the highest marble slab in the room for maximum cooking. Nothing would do more for the girdle business than a photo of a batch of women in a steam-room. Anyway, I climbed to the lop, and right back down to the lowest level, and 10 minutes later a kindly hand helped me to the swimming pool-warm. As I settled back for 30 minutes of lolling, I thought, this isn't so bad, you know. . .1 do feel better. Other Pools But there were other rooms, other pools and the last one 1 plunged into without pic-testing. I promptly froze I later checked and found the water was just above freezing. Wasting no time, I hopped out. As the attendant laughed and I shook, she said, now you must rest. The Icy dip had awakened me for a week, but she insist ed, as she wrapped me in a heavy blanket and parked me on a cot. A few minutes later. I was led to a scale, where I weighed - well never mind. Anyway, I got my clothes back, and figured that given a year at Baden-Baden. 1 might not only feel but LOOK like BB. EASTER SPECIALS Complete Dinners Roast Turkey Baked Ham '-4 Fried Chicken .

Symbols of Easter Date Back to Ancient Times By MARGARET RICHARDS '. United Press International Kansas City-liPl-The long regarded symbol of life-the egg-and other customs now associated with Easter, had their origin as commemora tive sentiments before the birth of Christ. Ancient Persian sun wor shippers, for example, thought the world was hatched from an egg on the first day of spring. They celebrated, a Hallmark Cards historian says, with a New Year s fes tival at a time correspond ing to Easter, exchanging dyed eggs as good luck charms.

For Reservations, Phone MON Early Christians consecrat ed eggs, dyed them deep red to symbolize them as pres ents at Easter. However, as the civilized world expanded and populations began to mi grate, e::gs were too fragile to send long distances to friends. To continue the custom of exchanging Easter greetings, in the mid-1 800's some Easter remembrances were heavy plaques with Inscriptions of family crests, that could be hung on the wall. These be came the forerunners of to day's Easier cards. The Easter bunny and oth er major symbols of the sea son also have pedigrees dat ing back thousands of years. Even the word "Easter" is steeped in antiquity, derived from Eostra, the European goddess of spring. According to legend, the Easter rabbit originally was the beautiful pet bird of Eostra. To delight children everywhere, she supposedly changed her bird into a gen erous rabbit. And, because he's still a bird at heart, the Easter bun ny builds straw nests for youngsters and fills them with gaily colored eggs. The , duckling and chick, which like the rabbit and dyed egg are popular symbols for Easter cards today, also stem from centuries-old cus tom. Early Greeks and Romans regarded the egg as the sym bol of creation, and establish ed the duckling and chick as the personification of new life in the springtime. Even though such things as bunnies, chicks and fashion parades touch on many as pects of the Easter celebra tion, religious cards have grown steadily in popularity in recent years, and card firms are providing the larg est selection ever for 1960. The radiant beauty of stain ed glass cathedral windows and the quaintness of spiritual messages richly illuminated and reproduced on crisp parchment in the manner of the Middle-Ages also capture the spirit of the season. For the tiny children, there are cards artistically decorat ed with bunnies, eggs and chicks. One card retells in colorful art and verse the famous bedtime story of Peter, a naughty rabbit who ran into Mr. McGregor s gar- dent, and his good brothers and sisters; another contains self-sticking decorations of comical faces children may fasten on eggs; a third has drawings which children may paint with a water color kit included in the card. Grownups also may- enjoy the sophisticated humor of "contemporary" cards design ed for the Easter season. One such card contains a "Home Easter Egg Dyeing Kit." It is a small paint brush accompa nied by this advice, "Buy rab bit at neighborhood pet shop , . . hand him this brush and tell him to get busy." If he were really Eostra's bird of bygone centuries, he might do it. Son, Daughter Home From School.
