DEFER ACTION ON
 SIGN ORDINANCE
Public Hearing Held in Aldermanic Chamber;
 New Queries Raised

Another weeks study of the city's proposed new sign ordinance was decided upon last night following a public hearing in the aldermanic chamber presided over by Alderman Charles P. Sciullo. It is likely, how ever, that the ordinance will be ready for the next meeting of the alderman. Only ten persons at- tended last nights hearing.
 Building Inspector Patrick J. Car lin stated that he was not anxious to be given the task of enforcing the new Jaw and suggested that the job be given to the police depart ment. He said that under the ordi- nance fruit and vegetable markets will have to remove their displays from sidewalks and even the police departments parking standards could be termed as dangerous"
 Several questions of importance were raised during the hearing. One was whether or not an awning could come under the provisions of the sign ordinance. E. L. Beebe of the Southern New England Tele- phone Company asked if his con- cern would have to pay fees for the small public telephone signs that are put Up in front of stores.

EASTER THOUGHTS
BIZ THE MAN IN THE TOWER

 When in the market place He walked None knew that He would rise, leor thought of mansions far above In the eternal skies. As twilight came on Hermons crest, He saw the citys tower And knew the Son of God would walk At resurrections hour. And here in Natures holy place, The trees are green again, And ange-like see white clouds Above the haunts of men. Whte-robed and yelled in purest sheen They hurry on their way, And from the altar of my heart hear the Master pray. The bread and wine were given men Before He went away; So follow Him along faiths road Upon this Easter day. And at the dawn of each new morn A garden of my own, Where footprints mark the Christ's own path And perfect seed was sown.
