THE PROMISE OF EASTER Once more the whole world rejoices in the return of Springr and the resurrection of the earth from its wmter death. This ancient festival. celebrated from the earliest times by all inhabitants of the northern hemisphere. has :-1 special significance for Christians, since the early Church adopteo it as the occasion on which to celebrate the resur- rection of Christ after His crucifixion. But the same re- turn of Spring was the great annual festival of all peoples for thousands of years before the Christian era. It coin- cides too, very closely with the ancient Jewish feast of the Passover. which itself derives from the primitive uniâ€" versal rejoicing over the rebirth of life as evidenced by the return of all green growing things. and the bring- ing forth of their young by the beasts of the forest and lelfl." There is no mention in Scriptures of Easter as a spe- cial dav of celebration. nor of any other special holy day. But the fathers who built up the church founded upon the teachings of Christ wisely encouraged by the pagan peoples whom they sought to win to the new religion to retain their ancient traditional festivals. adding to them a new significance and symbolism. Thus it came about that the old festival of Easter. the Angloâ€"Saxon goddess of Spring, came to be, as an early church historian wrote, “observed with the gladness of a new solemnity,” and the old name has become the English name for the festival which in other ‘languages has a name derived from the Jewish passover. The Germans call it, “Pass,” the French, “Paques,” the Italians, “Pasqua,” and the Welsh, “Pasg.” But in all languages it signifies the most sacred and the most joyful of all Christian festivals. _ The significance of Easter is the hope and promise which the resurrection of Our Lord holds for everyone. of eternal life for the human soul and spirit. Just as the return of the sun from its winter hibernation in the South, has brought to all peoples in all times promise and evi- dence that life does not end when grasses wither and trees shed their foliage at the advent of Winter, but continues to manifest itself afresh in new forms, so the Resurrec- tion of Christ is a pledge to every faithful believer in Him that they, too, shall not perish but shall have everlast- ing life. ********* ABOLISH COUNTY COUNCILS (Hepburn's Great Reform) For the past few years The Post has pointed out the costly and unnecessary duplication in administration ex- ercised by County Councils in Ontario. Under the enlightened policies of the Hepburn Gov- ernment more and more of county functions have been taken over by the province. Without going into the in- efficiency of York County Council in particular, it may be called to mind that our municipal tax burdens are woe- fully heightened by the County’s excessively bad admin- istration. Nepotism, expensive bills, favoritism and all the fa- miliar phases of a Tammany Hall have marked York Counâ€" ty Council. As one of Scarboro’s best esteemed reeves said “York County Council is just a gas-house”. Word is getting about that Mr. Hepburn is planning to wisely and rightly write “finis” to county councils. Nothing he has done will mark a more forward step than making a swift end to this bleeding of the tax-payers through county levies. less and wasteful York County is. Scarboro knows full well how use- Only the benefactors of its largess can be found to uphold continuance of county ' councils. When Mr. Hepburn finishes all County Councils, he will have restored to farmers and suburban taxâ€"payersâ€" the very backâ€"bone of the provinceâ€"millions and millions of wasted dollars. The sooner Mr. Hepburn makes this needed reform effective, the sooner all municipalities will begin the long climb back to solvency and self-respect.-â€"York County Post. ******** EXPRESS YOUR OPINION Abolition of County Councils and other improvements in municipal government will be taken into consideration by the Ontario government between now and the next session of the Legislature. Here and there throughout Ontario members of County Council have rushed into print with a lot of bunkum in defence of the County Council, but arguments presented are far from impressive. We hope the taxpayers will not sit back and let the well paid members of county council do all the talking. Take a few minutes now and write to Premier Hepburn, or your local member of the Legislature and let them know what the average taxpayer thinks of the proposal. $$*****$I DEATH WALKS IN DARKNESS Among those who have endeavored to fix the time, place and cause of death by automobile, is Ernest Anders, Commissioner of Utilities at Jacksonville, Florida. Some of the cold, hard facts assembled by him are at once terri- fying and enlightening. Automobiles kill twenty-five times as many people as fires. Floods during the winter of 1936-1937 killed four hun- dred people. three thousand six hundred. During the same period, automobiles killed During 1935, eighteen people were killed by railroads, one hundred by airplanes and one hundred and sixty-six by ships; two thousand, three hundred and ninety-four by typhoid, two thousand, seven hundred and ninety-eight by diphtheria and twenty-six thousand, four hundred and thirty-eight by influenza, while automobiles killed thirty- six thousand, one hundred. In 1936, automobiles killed thirty-eight thousand peo- ple, injured one million, three hundred thousand, and causâ€" ed a money loss of one billion, six hundred million dollars. Fifteen out of each hundred fatalities occurred under unfavorable weather conditions. dred were due to drunken drivers. a hundred were caused by snowy. icy or wet streets. out of a hundred occurred at grade crossings. out of each hundred were on curves. Seven out of every hun- Twenty-three out of Four Eleven Only two out of each hundred were due to mechanical defects in the car. The really important conclusions, however, are found in the time of accidents. Fifteen thousand of these thirty- eight thousand killed in 1936 were killed in the daytime. All the rest were killed after dark. During that twelve hour period of darkness, of which we spent at least six. hburs m bed, we killed many more people than we did during the twelve hours when we were all awake and doing I i i much more driving. i Sixty per cent of the automobile fatalities. and fortyâ€" eight per cent of all accidents occur at night. despite the fact that traffic courts show that traffic at night is but twenty to twenty-five per cent of the total traffic. In other words, night drivingr is four to five times as dangerous as day driving. Your chances of being killed at night are twice as great as in the daytime.
