Again one of the most blessed
times of the year has come and
gone, Easter with all of its Won
derful promise and hope for the
great awakening of nature.
Nature, with the great surge
of new life, gives new impetus
4 to all who are a bit weary to
strive just bit more willingly to
attain the best in this life await
ing that greater day.
Many of our folk made the
trip to Sugar Loaf Mountain on
Sunday morning to witness the
most beautiful sunrise service
yet held at this very beautiful
spot in our own Montgomery
County. All are unanimous in
saying how inspiring such a serv-
ice can be; all the folk who took
p part in the program are entitled
to a special vote of thanks.
Again we register our appre-
citation to the late Mr.. Strong and
the group of men entrusted to
the task of making our mountain
a real memorial to the donors
memory and a place of relaxa-
ton for any who may visit this
spot.
We believe that the many who
are going all out to help make
the swimming pool a reality at
the agriculture center at Cal
thersburg will in future years
be talked of as great benefactors
by those to follow for their far
SightedenesS in making the pool
a reality. Do you know that
you must get your pledge cards
in by May IS if the actual con-
struction is to be started this
year? Do something about it
now.
