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.

In the new Hobby Shop a
sign over one of the doors
says "Basketry." Inside the
room. John F. Huber. 65. sits
I in a w heel chair, and makes
baskets lunch baskets, ham
burger baskets, sewir.g kits,
Egyptian trays of rafiia ma
terial recently discovered in
tact and will not burn.
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.

Eugene To Shift
Work Schedules
Eugene - IUPII - The Eugene
City Council voted Monday
night for just about as much
daylight saving time as it can
get and still stay within the
law.
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
