LENTEN SEASON BUT
COUPLE WEEKS AWAY

Although Lent comes later than at
any time in many years it is only
about two weeks away. The penitential
season is ushered in on Ash Wednes-
day which falls on March s this year
and eliminates on Easter Sunday,
April %.
A wide cessation of social activities
is expected to mark the approaching
season of religious reflection.
Special activities will be commenced
in many of the churches Of the city. In
the Catholic and Episcopal churches
the lenten season is marked by many
special devotional exercises and in the
Lutheran church the season is also
devoutly observed.
Despite the lateness of Easter local
merchants believe that the spring
trading season will open fully as early
as usual. An early spring is Indicated
by the many hsrbingers which have
already been hailed with delight by a
"shut-in" world.
Local merchants are already dis
playing spring garments and although
Easter ia almost two mouths away the
advance sale has been encouraging.
