Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1921-04-29

w. Warde Fowler, of Lincoln College,
Oxford, in his treatise Oh the "Roman
Festivals of the Republic" ''that the
month of April takes its name, not
from a Roman deity but from the Latin
verb aperio," meaning to open, to un-
fold. This derivation "seems perfectly
natural, " he says, as at this period of
the year there is q general awakening
Of the forces of nature so long dormant
the year is opening. Crops begin to
grow, flowers to bloom, aud the buds
or the trees to swell and unfold their
leaves. These processes being greatly
ture, the showers occurring in April
have made this month proverbial for
bringing in itswake the fuller blooms of
May and June.
