Of This and That’ Did you ever see a more beautiful spring? It “ began early, too! The last week end in March was warm and balmy: enough so that some little people we know went wading in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Palm Sunday and Easter were unbelievably lovely. For the first time in years we hid Easter eggs for the small fry on our big back lawn—and just as the chil- dren took their baskets and started out to hunt them, a big, brown wild rabbit hop- ped across in front of them! Their eyes were wide with wonder. - We missed reporting the spotting of the first robin, by the editor's wife the first wild geese, the first crocus—because it has been two months since we have written “Of This and That.” But we want to say that as usual the spring season was ushered in with a “bouquet” of pussywillows brought to The Bulletin by Daniel Brubaker, Poplar street. A week later, another bunch of the longest pussy- willow branches we have ever seen was brought in by David Eby, Donegal Springs Road. The wind had blown his tree over, he said, but it was still alive, so he gathered the branches out of the top of the tree. The “kittens” were unusually big and soft and furry.

Army in Viet- nam, has been seriously wounded, his father has been informed. A specialst fourth class, he has been in the thick of ac- tivities, assigned to a ‘‘press camp.” The injury has been des- cribed as “multiple small arms wounds.” From the ra- ther meager information re- ceived by his father and by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Rice, New Hav- en street, it believed that the injuries were received from some kind of an accident when a weapon was being cleaned.
