Dear Leo:
Regarding the Editorial of March
30th and also the letter to the
Editor by Mansel J. Woods of the
Sidney Chamber of Commerce
about ambulance service in Rich
land County, 1 am prompted to
submit the following remarks.
Certainly I have a personal inter-
est in this issue and we do need
an ambulance service.
This past winter my mother fell
and was seriously hurt. Since both
Sidney funeral directors had dis
continued ambulance service they
jointly answered our call for am
bulance service, with a hearse,
which our family greatly appreci-
ated. They had refused payment
because of the inappropTiatness Of
the vehichle.
We as citizens of Richland Coun-
ty do not ask other business people
to donate their time and equip
ment for service such as ambul-
ance calls. This is a project we
should be doing ourselves.

Sidney Churches
Offer Special
Easter Services
ST. PHILOMENA'S
CATHOLIC CHURCH

The stirring lenten drama of our
Blessed Lords passion and death
is fast approaching its frightful
climax. ALI Christian eyes are
turned toward The hill of Calvary
where stark tragedy will soon be
re-enacted. Once again we shall
be witnesses at the death of Christ.
1t is certainly fitting that we
should stand guard beneath the
cross to watch in sorrow the cru
cifixion of our Saviour. For it is
only by sharing intimately in the
passion of Christ that we earn the
right to share in the triumph of
His resurrection 1t is only by
kneeling beside Him in Geth-
semane, and climbing to Golgotha
with Him, that We gain admittance
to the Easter garden. 1t is only
when we have had a real part in
His suffering that we are able to
participate fully in His glorious
victory. The closed tomb is a nee
essary prelude to paschal joy. Un-
less we die a little, how can we
rise again?
Throughout Holy Week we study
once more the passion of Christ
and find in it a deeper sorrow for
our sins, a greater strength for
our weakness and the courage to
answer more fully the challenge of
love in the eyes of the Crucified.
In spite of our weakness and past
failures we come closer to Christ
to find the meaning of hard things
and suffering things, to find there
the love which alone can make
sacrifice joy. We make this really
holy week, a week of close union
in prayer and penance with the
suffering Christ, a week of pre-
paration for the triumphant joy of
Easter Sunday and a life of pre-
paration for the still more trium-
phant joy of resurrection and
happiness with Christ forever in
Heaven.
