MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY. APRIL 24. 1962 In the Day's News II P''"' Peqrs News and Notes From Camp White By FRANK JENKINS This is written on Easter Day. Whence comes the word Easter? It takes its name in Eng lish from that of an Anglo Saxon goddess. Eostre, who represented light, or spring. The Anglo-Saxons held a fes tival in her honor every April. All of this preceded the Christian era. So it was nat ural that the Christian spring time testival. which honors the resurrection of Jesus, should adopt the name of the long - established springtime festival that for centuries had been held at the same time of the year. SO MUCH for the name. Whence come our Easier customs? rpHE idea of Easter eggs came to us from ancient Egypt and Persia, whose peo ples noted that life starts with the egg. So, to them, the egg was sign of new life. New life starts in the spring. Thus Pi. pol. adv.. Stafhos lor Stjfe Senator, R. Rickcm, ch., Medford, On. it was natural for them to associate- eggs with the new life that starts in the spring. Court Records HOW about the Easier rab bit? Legend has it that the brightly colored eggs that have so long been associated with the festival of Easter were laid by the Easter rab bit. The origin of the legend isn't known. What of the Easter lily? The Easier lily is while. Since time immemorial, the white lily has been a symbol of purity and light. rpHERE is our Easter parade - of new clothes. What of it? How did it get started? Easter is the festival of spring. Of new life. Of Resur rection. In the spring, the earth dresses itself in a new garment of greenery. Hence new clothes at Easier. 1VHAT of the dale of Easter -which varies from year to year? Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. The word Paschal means of or pertaining to Passover, or Easter, as you can learn for yourself by con sulting your dictionary. It de rives from the Hebrew, whose word for it was "pesah." The Greeks changed that to Pas cha. Hence Paschal. 'T'HE Paschal full moon is the full moon of the vernal or spring equinox (which oc curs on March 21) or on any of the next 28 days. Conse quently, Easter Sunday can't be earlier than March 22 or later than April 25. This date for Easter was fixed by the Council of Nice, in A D. 325. 'PHIS concluding thought: On this Easter Day, the world is in a parlous state. It wouldn't be if the world had heeded the rule laid down by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. It is known as the Golden Rule. 11 is a rule or way of life. As quoted by Matthew 7:12 it reads: "There fore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." Luke (6:31) quotes the words of Jesus, as spoken on the Mount, somewhat more briefly: "And as ye would that men should do to you. do ye also to Ihem likewise." If this way of life, this sim ple rule for human conduct, had been followed by all man kind, this would be a different world-a much better world.

He also is extremely mod ern and creates from plastic, holders, of delicate ivory colors His reed work has different uses .and dimensions. Some hold potatoes; others serve as lunch baskets. The "slab" work he does includes a "wishing well," a jewelry container, and unique designs for the display of appetizing fruits. Vai of Reedi On the table stands a vase made of reeds. It had no par ticular use, he said. "It was made for beauty alone or maybe decoration," he added. In early life Huber was a dental technician in the city of Chicago. But now because of disability he has trans ferred has skill from that pro fession to the creation of beauty and utility in baskets, doing most of his work with one hand. His wife died in I960 in Chicago, where she worked as a bookkeeper and ac countant. He is a Navy veteran of World War I, and saw Eng land, Belgium, Holland, Nor way and France. He wanted to visit the museum and art gallery of London and Paris, but did not get a chance, he said. He had to "stand by" for duty in most of the har bors during the war period, which kept him from visiting any of the foreign countries. He has a brother and sister in South Dakota and one sis ter in North Dakota and a brother in Salem. He will visit them this summer if his plans work out- In the meantime, every morning at 9 o'clock, he is at his bench in the Hobby Shop, either beginning or bringing to. fruition a new basket. 'I always have something to do,'1 he said. assistants are responsible for the library service for which they were awarded the $1,000 Dorothy Canfield Fisher award this year. Chief Librarian Enid Holmes conducted the bus trip. Gene Olson, author of chil dren's books, who lives on 40 acres near Grants Pass, was a visitor at the Readers and Writers last Tuesday. He autographed two of his books, "The Tin Goose" and "Sacramento Gold," and in structed Miss Holmes to use them in the domiciliary li brary as she saw fit. MKIIr'OKll Mt'NK'IPAI.

The council voted to leave city hall clocks alone, but to shift work schedules ahead one hour April 29. It also voted to urRe other employers to move clocks or schedules up to correspond with fast time. The school board immedi ately voted to move school schedules ahead one hour, contingent upon similar action by the University of Oregon. Eugene did the same Ihing last year. The effect was fast time for the city. The council said the city hall would be manned with a skeleton crew the last hour of the day to conform with legal-or standard-time. During National Library Week, a full bus of members visited Gold Hill, where at the library there was a dis play of Past Presidents, and in particular, one of Lincoln, and his log cabin. Librarian Mrs. Routh, and her assistant hostesses, wel comed the visitors from the domiciliary. After the men looked at the exhibits and book collection, they were served refresh ments. The age of the build ing proved of interest and the prospcel of a new one was discussed. Each signed the guest book, and left for Grants Pass. W. R. Lord, partially sight ed, was intrigued with the ri ver and the blossoms, he said. And added, "I was especially impressed with the beauty of the new library building in Grants Pass." "A blind person can't start a conversation," Mr. Lord said, so the members relayed various things to him from time to time Florence Moberly and her Counsel With . . .
