Say, have you pulled out those
new suits and Easter bonnets that
you've been paying on for the last
four or five weeks?
Have you bought and colored
those eggs you have been promis-
ing the little ones around the
house? Well, if you haven't, time
is flying and Easter is only two
days away so you'd better start
making some preparation now!
Do you know what Easter is?
Easter is not only a time for the

ing OF new clothes and the holi-

ter is also an annual celebration
