stated we see absolutely no use in
passing an ordinance or making a

Easter Sunday comes little late
this year, falling on April 16. Only
three times in the next ten years will
it come any later than that. 1t is also
interesting to note that only twice in
the next ten years will it come in
March. Easter Sunday is the first
Sunday after the first full moon on or
after March 2lst. If such full moon
chances to fall on Sunday then Easter
Sunday is the following Sunday. Last
year Easter came on the last Sunday
| in March and on that day it sleeted
and froze and the entire fruit crop,
which had such bright prospects, was
completely destroyed. 1t is to be
hoped that history will not repeat it,
self this year.
