That down home country Mr. and Mrs. Country Morning are staying up late one night watching the 10 o'clock news on the black and white Zenith. It's commercial time and Mr. Country is Just about to go check on the chickens when he hears a familiar voice . . . "Even out here where the air's fresh and people are friendly and the day, starts with the sun, I can still have trouble falling asleep some nights. So, I take Somisneeze. It's a safe, natural way to help me feel drowsy and fall asleep . . . " Startled, Mrs. Country drops her knitting and grabs Mr. Country's , arm. "Isn't that . . . " "That's right," says Mr. Country starting at the Zenith. "It's -Mrs. Tussy sweepin' the front porch of her tourist home." The camera switches over to young Ned Greely, owner of a local farm. Good Ned is working up a fine sweat loading drums of pesticide onto the back of his Ford pickup . . . "Ya know, when I sold the Madison Avenue advertising firm and moved the wife and kids out here to the fresh air, sunshine and friendly people, I left a lot of problems and sleepless nights behind. But there are a few occasional nights when I still have trouble getting shut eye so I take Somisneeze. It works for me." Poor Mr 'and Mrs. Country Morning can only sit and stare at the parade of townspeople blurbing into their living room. Finally it's all over and Mr. Country gets up to shut off the set. "I never knew so many of our neighbors were popping pills," Letters to the Editor Truth, life and way TO THE EDITOR: Going home, chocolate rabbits, church services, Easter ham, colored eggs; are these the elements which compose Easter? They are part of the scene, but the true meaning of Easter lies with Jesus Christ. Easter Week consists of Holy Thursday The Last Supper, Good Friday God's Son dying for mankind and Easter Sunday Jesus Christ's resurrection from the tomb and victory over death. What significance are these events for you and me? They are of NO significance if they did not occur; they show the way to life if they did occur. The books of the Bible were written by Christ's apostles who Agonies of a home out of reach All along the pinetree coast, hundreds of birds flew somewhere-homeward south. With white foam underneath, they played with the tidal winds, laughing and singing as the breezes carried them-. The ocean stretched from the shore and glittered in the morning sun. The sky displayed a morning blue; the clouds excusing themselves the night before. And the sun lifted its light over the sea, and rose above the white waves and the birds. There was no man here. Just birds flying south, beating strong but small wings, leaning to the sway of the wind, directed by conscience toward their home. One or two would drop from the main body of birds, to play on a downward draft, but they would never falter far behind. Some had never gone before, but enough had to. know the way. They stretched from near the shore, ‘ IT'S A NOOkcJIMG Dlcot-k CooMrD uP 131 1 'ME CtiNtVcCLLoR' oFEXcf+EQuER 'FICF )100,,r- 13Rtlist-k PEOPLC. tiVe CALL cr k Le_T - of mom imAL TAX Cur t / and will offer suggestions as to how the quality of participation can be improved. quite far into the sea.

The day stayed warm and the sun gleamed, dousing the birds in rays and rays of light. The birds flew easily,with no strain discernable, only controlled flight over a steady sea. Toward night, the birds eased and soon drifted lower, searching for night students will continue to differ in their opinions, it is only fair that students have the right to speak. he says. "Well, I can understand poor Mrs. Tussy," she says. "I'd be poppin' pills too If my daughter had run off to Pitts burgh with a bible salesman." Early the next day, Mr. and Mrs. Country Morning, in need of coffee and sugar, hop into their Chevrolet and begin the two mile trip to Cora's General Store. It isn't more than a few minutes befoie that funny noise begihs; always happens as soon as the engine warms up . . . "Hot dogs, baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet . . . C'mon America! We know what your favorite things are!" Mrs. Country covers her ears and Mr. Country curses under his breath. He's tried to fix it a hundred times but can't figure out where the noise is coming from. The two suffer in silence. They pass the last few acres of Mr. Country's corn field and were either, lying or telling the truth. If they were lylngth'en let's bag the whole Easter deal ; but if they were telling the truth then we are faced with a decision whether to make Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. After examination of the evidence there should be no doubt that Jesus is Lord. The dead Jesus was buried in a cave and a two-ton stone shut off the entrance, a seal and guards, made It secure. Yet, resurrection Sunday the tomb was empty. In the past men nave died for what they believed in, but the apostles said that they saw Jesus and ate with Him. That means that if they were lying they knew it and they died for a Ile for no reason. Men do not die for Iles. It was not for riches because the apostles were not materialistically rich men. And it was not for self-esteem, because they were persecuted for their faith. And everyone but John, who was exiled, died a martyr's shelter. It would just be a short stop, yet the rest would replenish them. The birds could feed on tidal life near the shore. The large Liberian tanker moved slowly, plowing through the ocean like some lost monster. It had met with a storm far out at sea, and its left side was oozing gallons and gallons of unrefined, crude oil. It blackened the sea and spread over the blue water. The captain of the vessel radioed that he felt he could get the steamer to a safe port. But the oil would be left behind. The birds had settled on the shore, and while some'just rested, others dived and ran after small edibles on the beach. One bird pecked gingerly at a black object, thinking it to be a small crab. The bird drew back and shook its head. It was only a stone, covered with oil. Soon, other birds began to shake and scratch and claw at their wings and legs. mfg.ALS MIK HE ve sjkliktfj&ig., 1.6114 6 GittLOWXS °MOM life fades into obscurity Mr. Country feels a surge of pride as he gazes out onto the field of tall stalks. Suddenly he screeches to a halt, jumps out of the car and chases 50 adolescents in blue uniforms, TV cameramen, a 20-piece orchestra and a flatbed truck with two huge golden arches out of the field. ' Emotionally drained, the two finally pull up In front of Cora's General Store only to be greeted by a flurry of television cameras and brightlights: An advertising executive in a tidy-bowl blue leisure suit and authentic Earth shoes painfully walks up to the terrified couple and begins to talk very fast and very loud . . . "You know you two are late don't yal?" "From now on, watch the parties before shooting! At least you saved time by coming dressed for the take. "Alright now," he says to the camera crew. "We'll take this from just as they enter the store and ask Cora for the coffee . . . " . - , Mr. and Mrs. Country manage to slip away in the meantime and walk into the store. Covering all four walls are rows and rows of large blue cans. Cowering behind a pile on the counter is Cora, flanked by two security guards. Cora obviously looks the worse for her association with the advertising executive and keeps mumbling over and over, " . . . It's the only kind I sell . . . I'll get you my little pretty and your little dog too . . '. good to the last drop . . . " Mr. Country picks' up a three pound can of coffee but is de l ath; "Peter was crucified 'upside down, Paul was beheaded and had tiis skin peeled off 'of his body; and the list goes on..in fact, the apostle Paul left fame and wealth behind to become a follower of Jesus and he was persecuted", because he found that Jesus was who He claimed to be: the truth, the life and the way. What changed their lives? They ran from Christ at the time of His death for fear of their own lives. Yet afterwards they stood up boldly and proclaimed Him as God. One Christian author states that "evidence demands a verdict," and this evidence points out that Jesus is Lord. Accept Him as your personal Lord and Savimir by asking Jesus into your life. . The oil had found its way to shore, and many who had been searching for food had wandered into the shore bound slick, black and thick on the water. The sun rose graciously into the new day sky but the water did not glisten. A black muck covered the water and dulled the sun's wiping shine. The wind had died down, and the air smelled. All along the pinetree coast, hundreds of birds frantically scratched and pecked at their bodies, trying to remove what had captured them. Others ran along the beach, attempting to fly. The foam was not white but gray and more oil con tinued to coat the beach. A small young bird flew along the beach, but fell into the water, flapping its oil covered wings. Its body drifted in the tide, and washed up on the black beach near hundreds of birds, dying somewhere, once homeward. American saccharin By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) All along I've had a feeling there was something Incongruous about the laboratory tests that led to the proposed ban on saccharin. But I couldn't put my finger on what was amiss until I came across a press release from the Citizens for Sac charin Committee. Then it all came clear. The reason the tests seemed off base to us Americans is because they were conducted with Canadian rats. As the committee pointed out, "Canadian rats are , not the' same as American rats. "Rats are affected by climatic conditions, different physical characteristics depending on where and how they live, different life styles, hair type, teeth structure and different kinds of garbage and other edibles they consume. "So any rat tests should be made on American rats conducted by United States scientists."

The 'com mittee did not say, and I certainly am not suggesting, that American rats are necessarily better than Canadian rats. I'm sure Canadian rats are okay In their place. Canadian rats probably suit Canadians just fine, and they're entitled. Nevertheless, without getting into the" question of national rodent superiority, there's no blinking away the differences cited by the, corn mitttee. I was particularly struck by the reference to different life styles. America!) rats, as we know, are fundarrientally homebodies. Hearth and family mean a lot to them. Steadiness, dependability, moderation those are words that spring to mind when we think of American rats. Canadian rats, on the other hand, tend to be rather frivolous. Scurrying about at all hours of the night. Magnetized by the bright lights. Letting tomorrow take care of itself. stopped by the security guard. "You're going to have to put a down payment on that can mister, or you can lease it if you like." Sure enough, Mr. Country glances at the price and figures he'll have to sellthe farm to walk away with it.. Mrs. Country, glancing through the morning mall finds a letter from the White House and reads it to her husband. - "Say's here that Presldsnt'Jimmy Carter would like to spend a night at our farm and converse with natural, countrified folks like ourselves." Mr. Country Morning looks at the glazed look on Cora's face; the advertising executive limping around the yard, yelling at the top of his lungs and looking for all the world like he had curvature of the. spine; the SoMisneeze people and the Geritall people; the car manufacturers and the fast food peddlers all invading and destroying the country life that has suddenly become such a precious commodity. "We're going to write President Carter and tell him he's welcome ,to the farm and the chickens but we're taking what's left of our countrified, natural lives and moving to where no one can git at them." , . So, somewhere between Mayberry R.F.D. and Dorothy's Kansas the Country Mornings live. Their lives are simple and natural that is until the rest of the world comes banging at their door. Editor That sort of thing. I daresay the average Canadian rat is basically just as robust a specimen as his American counterpart, when he is in tiptop shape. , _lt could well be, however; that hedonistic dissipation has rendered Canadian rats more susceptible •to possible carcinogens in saccharin than American rats would be. Then there is the question of diet. It is doubtful that Canadian garbage' contains anywhere near as much saccharin as American garbage. Thus, Canadian rats would not have had opportunities to build up immunities or natural resistance to any harmful ingredients in the sugar substitute. To repeat, I have nothing what soever against Canadian rats. If I were a Canadian, I'm sure I would feel wary toward any substance that produced adverse reactions in Canadian rats. But when American interests are involved, it is not being unduly jingoistic to ask, "What's wrong with using good ol' American rats?" SCOTT SESLER Business Manager
