The grass is tu rn ing green jind everywhere the shrubs and trees a re beginning to bud as the spring flowers make the ir annual brave show against the drab of the garden. Man looks upon these signs of la slowly re-awakening nature, and, looking, forgets the dreary w inter with its rain find fog, its snow and ice and ipiting cold. And spring and joy come into his heart. .. ' '.................' ............ There was a much g reater joy a^pong Christ's followers on that first Eastertide in fa r away Palestine. Gethesemdne and the criioifixion had brought consternation, then fear and lastly despair to these men and women who had fSllpwed Jesusi'in his wanderings up and down the Holy Land. E aster jrave t̂hem back their leader, albeit a leader changed in a way they as yet did not understand. And so in keeping^ w ith the mood of nature and the teachings of the faith of pUr fathers,. vve feel almost happier at this season of the year than a t Christmas in spite of the atheistic age in which our lot is cast. The-times have become perilous chiefly because of th is atheism, which has destroyed all honorable dealings between nations^ And,' if civilization is to survive,, it can only dp so by a return to th a t fa ith which . makes of Easter a reality ih the hearts of man. TRANSPORTATION Transportation still rem ains the chief topic of conversa tion on the'Streets in W est Vanbouver. I t is so and will likely remain so for some time, chiefly because th ere are hardly to be found two persons who entirely agree on the correct solu tion of the problem. Moreover; for almost every solution its proponent can produce good and valid reasons, even though having to adm it that others who th ink 'd iffer^^ Equally* good reasons for their opinions. • - Therein lies the difficulty of the whol4 problem, and, as we understand, the main reason whv-the-CQunciFhavs~taken~ ^ome timel)efore coniing to a decision.

In- point of EGGS FOR EASTER LONGiTRApiTION The origin of the Easter egg tradition is lost in Jantiquity but year afte r year the delightful practice of adorning the break fast table with eggs on Easter ^ Sunday morning cbntinues. I t ' ' m atters not tha t the first fresh egg^no longer come with Easter, , the beginning o f Spring. The modern model of the humble hen may, and usually does, produce her excellent product the year round. E aster is still associated with eggs, with thp hen scratch ing in the warming earth, newly aware of her destii^ . Eggs, in the E aster tradition, are always boiled ,Mn the shell. For children, of course, they must be colored, .with one of an infinite variety of home or com mercial , preparations. No par ents, treasuring childhood mem ories of bowls of .piulti-colored . eggs on Easter meaning, would deiiy a similar pleasure to their children. For children, pullet eggs, if they are available, ̂ i^ll prove an , added attraction, their small size lending a youthful touch and having the fu rther practical ad vantage of enabling Junior, to ;__dispose of a greater number^ ̂ These small e ^ s a ^ sold under the designation of .Grade A Piil- Jet.-JThey--weighrapprbximatSyr an ounce and a half each.
