Easter

Yw this Province, as throughout Canah and thc rv-t of the wcstvrn Christian world, special rcligiutis >L‘l'\'lCt‘>' will mark [ht- occasion of thc Ellalcl‘ festival tomorrow". it will bc the first Easter since the close of \\"orld \\"ar ll, and the anniversary; with all its joyous and solemn associations, will have special significance On that account. Originally a llcbrcw fcstival in memory of the Passover, or great deliverance when the dcslroving uugcl “passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the l-Igy-ptiarls" (lixod. xii, 27) it was given a new and more glorious meaning by the conception of the early Christians of Christ as the true Paschal Lamb and the first fruits of the dead. Throughout Christendom, the liturgi- cal colour for Easter is everywhere white, as signifying joy, light and purity.

While there is uniformity as to its mean- ing, there have been many controversies waged over the correct date of the Easter observance. Thir was one of the disputes which led Con- stantine to summon the Council of Nicaca m 325, The decision of the council was unani- mous that Easter was to be kept on Sunday» and on the same Sunday throughout the world, the correct date to be calculated at Alexandria, the home of astronomical science. But a new difficulty arose owing to the absence of any authoritative rule by which the Paxllal mm“ was to be ascertained. i

~ Briefly, Easter day is the first Sunday aft- er the full moon following the vernal equinox; but this of course varies in diffcrﬁnt l0ﬂliltllde5i while a further difficulty occurred in the at- tempt to fix the correct time of Easter by means of cycles of years, when the changes of the run and moon more or less exactly repeat them- selves. At first an eight years cycle was adopted, hut it was found to be faulty; thcn the Jewish cycle of 34~yﬁars WES 1156i and rcmained in force at Rvfllc llll lllﬁ Yea!‘ 457» when a more accurate calculation of a cycle 0f 532 years took its place. Ultimately a cycle of l9 years was accepted, and it is thc use of this cycle which makes the Golclcn hllmlﬁr 11ml Sunday Letter, explaincd in the Book of Com- mon Prayer, tieccssary.

St. Augustine tells us that in the year 387 the churches of Gaul kept Easter on the 21st of March, those of Italy 0n the 13th 0f -\P"l. and those 0f Egypt on the; 25th of April; and it appears from a letter of Leo the Great that in 455 there was a difference of eight (lays b’:- tween the Roman and the Alexandrina lrlastcr. Grggory of Tours relates that in 557 “tl10r0 was a doubt about Easter. In Gaul we, with manv other cities kcpt Fail" 0" lll¢ {Oulieelltll calcnds 0f May, others, as the Spaniards, on the twclfth calends of April.” The ancient Brit- ish and Celtic churches followed the CF16 Ol 84 vcars which they had originally rcccivcd [you] Rgme, but which the Latin churches later abandoned for the more accurate cyrle of 532 years.

But the sanctity of special times was_an ideal absent from the minds of the first Christ- ians. "The whole of little is a festival unto Chi-lotions because of the. excellency of \lte pod things which have been given", 1s the comment of St. Chrysostom on I Cor. v. 7. An- other early Father is authority for the state- ment that “the apostles had no thought ‘of ap- pointing feslival days, but of promoting a life of blamclessncss and Did)”; and he a" tributed the observance of Easter by the church to the perpetuation pf an Old 115826- l3? lhal 15 it may, Easter is redolent of the SP1"! 0i Christianity, as are the flowers and shrubs of ‘he “iuvwaﬁng breath of Spring, which from ancient times it was the custom to use ill adorn- ing Christian churches at this season.

There was no collusion between Mr. Brac- ken’: intervention in the Commons on behalf of the farmcr and the delegation which the Canadian Federation of Agriculture sent two days later to wait upon the Prime Minister and the members of the Federal Cabinet. But al- though the two event: were wholly independ- cut, the program of action urged by the Pro- gressive Conservative Leader proved amazingly prophetic of the Agricultural Fedcratioifs own proposals. Mr. Bracken urged relaxation of price ceilings; equal income tax privileges for farmers, such as being allowed to charge wages paid members of the farm families as costs of the farm operation; some solution of the farm labor problem; steps to bring farm prices into adjustment with generaLcommodiby prices; higher prices for dairy produce to arrest the (lccline taking price in that field of production. The Farm Federation asked gcncrallv for a Royal Commission to investigate the broad €CtllltlllllC plight of the farm producer. But they also askcd specifically for higher prices in linc with increased production costs, especially in the field of dairying where thcv- sought an iticrcasc of four ccnts per pound in the pricc of butter; for redress of farmers’ income tax gricvnttces, for some solution of the farm labor problem, for farm commodity prices which “Yould be on a parity with the pricrs which other connuoditics command.

City Hospital Play

Any ciltcrtaititncnt given in aid of such a, worthy institution as the Charlottetown Hos‘ pital would be worth patronizing, but the local talent which will participate in the comedy to be staged Easter Monday afternoon and eve- ning at the Prince Edward Theatre is a guar- antee of first class entertainment on its own ac- count.

The play is entitled “Stray Cats", and it is undcrthc skilled direction of our veteran actor-director, l\lr. I, Austin Trainor, C.D.A. It is being presented by the St. Charles Aux- iliary of the Hospital, and there is every rea- son to expect that the attendance at both per- formances will be large, representative and appreciative.

Till CHILD AND THE MOVIES

Bin-Many parents are or the ottinion that most of what their children see 1n the movies "passes over their heads", That this ls not the case wu proved reoently in. a test carried out in one of the lame cities in the U. S. A. A committee of special investigators undertook to find out just how much "passed over their bead-s" and how much they understood and remembered about the mov- ies they attended.

It was found. out of the l7 pic- tures seen by 16H superior pro- fessional people and 956 children, that each 8 year old child caught 60 oer cent of what

he screen

tthree months even 2nd grade dilldren remembered 81 per cent of what they had retained the day after the show.

Another investigation, carried out by Professor Bun-nei- of the University of Chicago, on tlw 1n_ fluence of the movies on conduct uncovered some rather dist/tubing fact-s. A vast majority of children admitted that what they saw in the theatre dictated. very largely, tuelr type 0d’ play. Boys played cowboys and Indians. cops and robbers, hlghwaymen, knife throw- ers and Tarzan. So realistically were these roles played that some- times the "bad man" was injured or even killed. Some boys admit- ted that seeing certain types of pictures made them want to carry a. gun. Others confessed that they wanted to "act tough". and in a great manv cases the sympathies of the boys were all with the criminal. w-hn was tile “hero" to them. The older boys confessed that they unlisted the behaviour of their favourite movie idol; how he acted at various functions; his mannerisms. dress, pose and love treehnlque. Some of them liven ad- mitted practising before a mirror in the hope of acqulrtntl some of finesse. Girls admitted 000v. in: the “halr-do" of their fav- ourite actress. They studied her technique. posture. dress and her manner of posinlz and flu-ting. Both boys and girls admitted hav- lna learned a great deal about "love technique" and some of them told how thev practised it on erst- while friends.

Most of those ‘vho were ours. tloned stated that they had been inllueyrced greatly by the "love movie’. Many of them lav awake. imagining themselves in the same amorous situations. Most at them wanted the kind of ember-lemme de- picted on the screen. Dissatis- faction with their homes, parents. state, restrictions and life in gen- eral was the result. They dream- ed of living in etmmttious mom. manta and hotels: having expens-

e_ wardrobes. cars and motor- boats. This kind of “day-dream- ing" whets appetites which may determine the pattern of later conduct. It stimulates desires which mav find expression in real. ltles later on. Someone has said that "day-dreams" are only whet we shziuld like to do ll
