Country Flavor
by Huydn S. Peorson-

March is often month of contra
dictions, but toward the end of its
days, one knows the ancient promise
is being fulfilled. Creeks run full in
the meadows and singing waters
course down the hill slopes. Each day
the sun wheels higher across the sky
and the mourning cloak butterflies
flutter through sunny woodlands. Ice
locked ponds break their fetters and
the rivers rush to the sea. From win
ter's darkness, the light is emerging.
Springtime is coming to our region
again and with it comes the certain
ty of faith that gives strength to
mans footsteps.

LETTERS S
TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor.

Dear Editor:
/ am a past resident of Bluffton and
now reside in Temple Terrace, Flori-
da. We receive your paper from my
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Haas.
My classes were confronted with a
similar question to the one stated in
the Teen Talk column in your Feb
ruary n edition, and I would like to
tell about the unanimous decision of
our classes.
We found the answer to be in fav-
or of splitting of classes. When Civ
en- consideration you can see that ad-
vanced students are those eager and
hungry for knowledge, and it is these
same figures who will be our leaders.
At the same time the slower students
are those who will be our laborers.
Neither should there be persecution
of the laboring set for they are as
much necessary as any men. 4 The
basis of our government rests or
equality as well as unity.
The way students accept their ed.
ucation is dependent upon what they
intend to be, and we feel they know
this. Therefore, those who want tc
rise above the labor level will work
to do so, and in most cases, will get
advanced learning, and should be en-
couraged. This encouragement comes
in the form of advanced classes tt
suit his career as far as education is
concerned.
This opinion is of only one small
part of the picture. but I feel it Ger
tainly expresses some points. Educa
ton is gift to be respected by one
self as well as others, and therefor
should not be used as a tool to de
grade one who is not as advanced il
ones field. One who seems to be SLOW
in one sense, may be the best in hi
own job.
80 Sincerely yours,
| q Jeff Haa

THE MEANING OF MARCH

THE MEANING OF MARCH
Each segment of the annual cycle
has purpose and meaning. To him who
follows the signs and patterns OF the
turning year, there is as much mean
ing in the cold harshness of winter
as in the warm lushness of summer.
At high noon of year when plant life
is pushing toward maturity, and at
low twelve when the soil is brittle
hard and snow covers the land, the
same great purposes are fulfilling
their ordained destiny.
Each part of the cycle is filled with
meaning; each segment is an essen
tial part of the whole. No one knows
precisely how many billion years ago
our planet began to take form, but
we do know that for many millions
of years the four seasons have been
established and that each contributes
to the fulfillment of the life cycle.
To many, March is month OF
heart-lift - a month that reaffirms
the triumph of life over death. 1t
means resurrection after the time OF
cold, the certainty of swelling buds,
bird songs and life-stir in primal
humus. This is the month of the
Awakening Moon, and the signs OF
birth are sure. You can see it in the
higher sun and the lengthening catkins
on the alders; you can hear it in the
music of bluebirds and the drumming
of the partridges; you can smell il
in the heady fragrance of warming
soil on the south side of the woodlot
