Easter Egg Roll
By Betty Kahn
Players go to the end of a room
and stand in a straight line. The
goal line is at the other end of the
room. A large candy egg (or colored
hard-boiled one) is put in front of
each player. At the word "Go!" the
players, on hands and knees, push
their eggs to the goal line. The first
one across wins an Easter prize.
If you want to make it harder,
push with your nosel
Fan Eggs-actly!
By Dee Scarborough
For this Easter-party game, you
need a dining table marked with a
center line. Two groups of players
armed with fans stand on opposite
sides of the table. A blown egg is
fanned hard by both sides. If it
drops off the table on your oppo
nents' side, you score a point. Don't
touch the egg while the play is on.
Good fanning!

well with the contents of a sewing
box, odd items from a desk drawer,
or things from a box of old hats and
trimmings. You will need a bottle
of glue, too.
Put newspapers over a table,
spread out all the things you want
to use, and let's start with a tur
quoise blue egg. Paste two bands of
Vi-inch rick-rack braid around it
(see drawing). Right on top paste a
tiny, silly flower, or stick gummed
circle reinforcements (the kind for
loose-leaf notebooks) in a band
around your egg. Add bits of lace,
bows of narrow ribbon (or sequins
and beads) to create one-of-a-kind
Easter eggs. See what you can do.
It's fun!

ON this Easter morning,
a woman will sing in her
church choir.
This music will not be half so
wondrous as her faith.
She will see the lilies at the altar
and find them not half so beautiful
as the faces of her children.
On my desk is the letter she wrote
me three years ago. I have kept it,
waiting for the postscript I knew
would be written.
Her letter said:
"My husband died much sooner
than we'd anticipated. I'd still be
lieved the day before that he could
pull through.
"I can't grieve as deeply perhaps
as some people because he suffered
so terribly that I prayed God would
take him. Feeling that way, I can't
regret his dying. Rather, I regret
the things he must miss and those
the children, too, will miss.

"We've been so fortunate, though.
This past year he and I found a
happiness and a depth to our rela
tionship that I know many never
touch upon. Many, many times we
told each other how happy we were.
What more can a person want or
wish to remember?
"The only difficult thing now is a
feeling of drifting that I can't seem
to shake. Things seem so pointless.
I realize, however, that it is only a
matter of time before God answers
this need and shows the way . . ."
THE WOMAN in the choir has writ
ten her own postscript. In these
years, she became both father and
mother to her children. Her tears
were shed in secret. She faced the
future with new friends, new work.
Recently, with fearful hesitation,
she spent a pleasant evening with
an old friend.
The friendship grew and deep
ened, and one day it was her son
who asked him to become their fa
ther, and he did. The core of her
sorrow shattered into joy.
Today she will look out into the
congregation and see her family,
and her clear voice will swell with
beauty.
She will not forget the young man
who died. His features live forever
in the faces of her children. His
memory lives forever in her heart.
But beside her now walks the hus
band of her maturity. To all of them
have come peace.
Yet she already knew something
of this three years ago when she
wrote to me.
She said : "God answers this need
and shows the way."
Jesus said it another way: I am
the resurrection, and the life.
