Day's Sews
By FRANK JENKINS
Tliis is Easter Day.
Easter is the springtime Chris
tian festival which honors the
resurrection, or rising from the
dead, of Jesus.
Easter is the first Sunday alter
the Paschal moon that is. the
full moon that occurs on the day
of the vernal equinox (March 21
or on any of the next 28 days.
Consequently. Easier Sunday
can not be earlier than March 22,
or later than April 23.
Why this date?
It was fixed by the First Coun
cil of Nice, called in the year
325 by Emperor Constantine and
held at Nice, in Asia Minor, to
settle the dispute caused by the
Asian views of the Trinity. This
first Council of Nice fixed the
time for observing Easter and
adopted the so-called Nicene
Creed in the following form:
"We believe in one God the
Father Almighty, maker of all
things, both visible and invisible;
and in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, Only begotten of
the Father, that is to say, of the
substance of the Father, God of
God and Light of Light, very
God of very God, begotten, not
made, being of one substance
with the Father, by whom all
things were made, both things in
heaven and things on earth; who,
for us men and for our salva
tion, came down and was made
flesh, was made man, suffered,
and rose again on the third day,
went up in the heavens, and is
to come again to judge both the
quick and the dead; and in the
Holy Ghost."
Such is the Nicene creed.
An older creed is the Apostles'
Creed. It was in use as early as
150, and is supposed to have been
set up by the apostles. It is used
in all Anglican, Catholic, Episco
pal, Lutheran, Presbyterian and
Reformed churches. Many other
Protestant churches also use it.
Whence the name Easter?
The name was adopted for the
Christian Paschal festival from a
heathen festival held at the vernal
equinox in honor of the Teutonic
goddess of dawn, called by the
Venerable Bede EOSTRE. On the
introduction of Christianity, it
was natural for the name of the
heathen festival to be transferred
to the Christian, the two falling
at about the same time.
.. Incidentally ..
It was fnrmpt-lv a common he
liel that the sun danced on Easier
Day. Sir John Suckling, in his
Ballad upon a Wedding, used this
simi e in describing the bride
"But Oh, she dances such a
way
"No sun upon an Easter Day
"Is half so fine a sight.
Who was Sir John Suckling?
He lived and wrote (and en
joyed life along with his cronies
who included Ben Jonson and his
cronies) away back in the first
half of the 1600's. He was a poet,
a courtier and a soldier. He was
also a famous gambler, in a gen
tlemanly way, and an exhibition
ist of the first water.
Ben Jonson, by the way, was
also quite a character. He started
out as a bricklayer, put in some
time at soldiering, and wound up
as the first literary dictator in
English literary history.
He and his cronies (who came
later to be known as the Tribe
of Ben) lived it up at the Mer
maid Tavern in a manner not too
dissimilar from the ways of this
modern world of ours the prin
cipal difference being that they
called their meeting place a tav
ern and went to it in horse cabs,
whereas we call it a cocktail bar
and use taxicabs to. get there.
So there you have the story
of Easter.
And this column is getting too
long.
Selah!

WASHINGTON (LPI'-Tlie Unit
ed States Saturday prepared to
reject a Soviet protest against the
plan for creation of a multi-lateral

United States would send a reply
"shortly" to the Kremlin's Mon
day message charging that the
proposed atomic (orcc would in
crease "the dancer of a thermo
nuclear conflict "
This information was given Do
brynin in the course of another
oi the long and so far fruitless
discussions he and Rusk have had
on the Berlin issue. They con.
fcrred at the State Department
for 80 minutes.
Rusk also took advantage of the
opportunity to urge the Sonet Un

Educators
Plan Cash
Cut Action
SALEM (UPD The State
Board of Higher Education told
the legislature Friday it will take
drastic steps to preserve "qual
ity" education if its budget is cut
by $5 million.
Ways and Means Committee
members replied they were
"shocked."
The board's letter was issued in
response to a request from the
legislative committee on where $5
million might be cut from higher
education's proposed $81 million
budget.
The board said if there are ex
tensive cutbacks it will increase
tuition rates sharply and raise ad
mission standards for all stu
dents."
"We remain convinced," the let
tcr said, "that, if a choice must
be made, a high quality education
for a fewer number would be
preferable to a watered-down ed
ucation for a greater number."
The board said it desires to!
keep "the able teachers now on
Oregon campuses."
It said Oregon has achieved "a
high level of educational quality."
It is the clear duty of the
board to protect this quality," it
said. '
It said budget cuts also would
bring cutbacks in auxiliary serv
ice programs such as agricultural
research, the teaching hospital
and clinics, the federal cooper
ative extension service, and the
crippled children's division.
Ways and Means co-chairman
Ward Cook. D-Portland. said the
board sounded like "a spoiled
child that just takes up his mar
bles and goes home.
Diefenbaker
Steps Aside
OTTAWA (UPD- Prime Minis
ter John Diefenbaker, the defeal
of his Conservative administration
confirmed by Canada's armed
service voters, agreed Saturday
to step aside in favor of a new
Liberal government headed bv
Lester B. Pearson.
The 67-year-old Conservative
leader made the formal conces
sion, ending the political uncer
tainty that followed Monday's na
tional election, in a telegram of
fering to meet Pearson to discuss
"the date of the change-over of
government.
Pearson, 65-ycar-old former ex
tcrnal affairs minister and Nobel
Peace Prize winner, quickly
agreed to the meeting at 3 p.m
i EST) Monday in the Prime Min
ister's parliament hill office.
Barring an unexpected snag, it
seemed certain Pearson would be
come Canada's 14th prime minis
ter by mid-week.
Tne country's armed service
voters endorsed Pearson's pro-nu
clear stand by giving the Liberals!
0.5 per cent of their ballots
versus only 20.5 per cent for
Dicfenbaker's Conservatives.
The brief exchange between the
two political rivals, who hold little
personal affection for each other,
took place minutes after the bal
lots of some 96.000 servicemen,
dependents and hospitalized vet
erans, tabulated separately under.
the Canadian electoral system,
had switched two more scats
from the Conservatives to Pear
son's Liberal Party.
They raised the Liberals to 130
members, three short of an over
all majority in the 265-scat House
of Commons. The Conservatives
were left with 94 scats and the
S(cial Credit and New Demo
cratic splinter parlies retained 24
and 17 seats respectively.
Six Social Credit mcmliers from
French-Canadian Quebec, bow-l
ever, bolted party ranks Friday
and. in a formal document sent
to Pearson and Governor-General
George Vanier. promised to sup
port a Liberal administration in
the new 26th parliament.

In scores of tongues they re
