MESSAGE OF Hope

What this mysterious strange joyous influence which
seems to permeate everything at this time of which
lngers-ike sweet perfume delicate and cleanto touch
us all with its magic?
We have different ways of expressing it. Some of us don
clothes with brighter coors and surely there is
nothing wrong hat Do not the trees the same? They deck
with green the branches that bleak bare and ugly
that looked like black bony fingers stripped of their
Jewels in the seets and ice of winter and they slip
these quckened branches the bright flashing fems of bios
Because He rose who believe in Him shall rise also
There lies before the thrilling exciting prospect of life
without end going and into all the eternities life
of Joy Man has always dreaded the unknown He
has been afraid of the dark tomorrow that lies behind the
sable folds of the curtain that hangs between this stage of
our life and the next.
But that Christ has risen from the dead, need
.ave no fear who trust in Him. Whatever terrors hid
He has vanqushed them in utter rout BE not afraid
only believe His calm confident reassurng voice speaks
to us this Easter Day

PLANTING BY THE MOON
by Haydn S. Pearson

PLANTING BY THE MOON
Come persons are so constituted
they can live happily on love and
green wood, but the counryman isn't
built that way. He is a methodical,
plodding farmer who believes in keep
ing a generous supply of dry wood
TERED up in the woodshed. He does
not see much sense in taking unneces-
sary risks, and that is why he is not
polemically skeptical of moon plant
ing philosophy.
Scientists have an objective, inn
personal viewpoint, and so far as
research goes, scientists agree there
is no logic in planting by the phases
of the moon. There are however, good
farmers who still believe that the
time to. plant crops which mature
above ground is in the waxing moon
phase; they believe that crops which
grow below the surface should
be planted in the waning phases.
Centuries ago, horticultural writers
were penning words about moon
planting. In 1922, Oviedo wrote about
corn planting in Haiti, Planting is
done in the time of the new moon
for just as the moon grows larger
will grow things planted"
A man who particularly enjoys
peas, corn, beets and parsnips
doesn't think II necessary to take
chances. Probably one ought to
be more scientific In his attitude;
this is a scientific age and the
Ph.D's with their graphs and
charts can prove almost anything.
However Grandfather snorts
heartily when anyone suggests his
planting schedule Is based solely

remarked that this did not by
any means admit the truth Of
what some people said about
him.
While emphasizing that his
budget could be cut substantially
only by dropping programs in
which he believed, the President
was asked about a request by the
Nations Mayors that the ad-
ministration restore a planned
SIS million reduction in new
appropriations for the slum
clearance and urban renewal
program.
He said he had not made any
pledges when a group Of Mayors
called on him earlier this week
to present their recommended
lions, but emphasized that he is
heartily in favor Of keeping the
urban renewal program going.
He pointed out that there is a
500 million reserve fund set
aside in connection with this
program that could be used for
the coming fiscal year and still
ALLOW a reduction in new appro-
lpriations for the year.
AS for his budget as a whole,
