The Wilmington morning star., 1947-04-06

Easter Day broke over a grey
city and the early morning was
filled gloriously with the joyous
singing of Easter carols. Whether
the group was cooled by the river
breezes blowing softly in from
the Cape Fear as they stood atop
the high tower of St. James
church, or touched by the chilling
gusts from the ocean as they sang
on the sandy shore at the sunrise
services on the beaches; the car
oilers welcomed the day of Resur-
rection with the beauty Of song.
Today, as every Easter each
year, is marked by the traditional
fanciful Easter parade as boys
and girls, men and women, and
even the tiniest of children, don
new outfits. Pussy hats, plain
hats, loud ties, conservative suits,
bright socks, straw bonnets, spec
tator pumps, patent-leather heels,
the new dress - all take their
place in the colorf,l1 and fashion
able gatherings.
Let's think about what a beauti-
tul occasion today is-the celebra-
ton of the Lords Resurrection
and pause a minute to realize
how fortunate we are. And as the
day webs away-be glad you're
youi
