We will be told that this marvelously happy festival celebrates the end of winter and the coming of spring. Easter. it is said, points to the renewal of life, and that is right. It is a marvelously happy festival; it does celebrate the end of wnter: it does point to the renewal of life. But each of these word 3 -â€"â€" “Winter”, “Spring”, “happy”. “renewal”, “life”. â€" has a much more special and specific meanâ€" ing for those who are in on the “"real" meaning of Easter. To be sure. the real meaning of Easter shouldn’t be much of a secret. Afterall, the Christian Churchhas been proclaiming it to the whole world for almost two thousand years. Did the world listen? It certainly never practised it. Shortly after the Easter event itself St. Peter began his address to a crowd with these words, “You must have heard about the recent happenings in Judaea; about Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 10:36). But Peter then took no chances â€" just in case they had not heard. or just in case they had not understood, He told again the mar- velous story from the beginning. St. Peter made quite clear the "Who", the “What” and “So What” of Easter. (Editor's Note â€"â€" Jane Nu- gent. Editor of the Depart- ment of Education monthly magazine “New Dimensions“ recently paid a visit to Don Head Secondary School in Richmond Hill where she ob- served food services students in action and interviewed their teachers. Don Head is the first and only) junior vocational school in the Region of York. First students registered in September. 1969. and it had its first graduation exercises last spring.

But most mornings there is little time to sit back and think about awards. By 11am the school‘s kit- chens are alive with bustling white-coated figures. They chatter and laugh and joke with each other. all the time pouring and draining and mixing: ladling soup from enormous saucepans. turn~ ing hamburgers. and cook ing french fries.

On the other hand, neither was he the Jesus of Madison Avenue, or Jesus of Rome, or Jesus of Athens â€" but Jesus of common ordinary “Nazareth”. So the message of Christianity is now as then â€"â€" that He is to be found among his fellow humans who yearn to be free from the grip of fear, of hunger, of war. of loneliness or despair. “What” happened on Easter Day is that â€"â€" as at no other time in the whole of human history â€"â€" Love was locked in mortal combat with hatred, life was pitted in battle against death. Death was overcome. What happened is that this Jesus was raised from the dead. The “What” of Easter is that death does not have the last Word â€"â€" not the last word for “HIS” life and not the last word for your life. What the church proclaims in the Easter Message has never happened before and it has never happened since. Other people have returned from the dead â€"â€" even the Bible gives examples but they returned only to die again. Jesus rose â€" never to die again. Jesus rose to new life, where death is abolished. opening the road to the kingdom of God. So What! The Risen Jesus told his followers that his Resurrection is to be seen as a security on God’s promise that one day “ALL” the just shall rise again to share in the be- loved community of a new heaven and a new earth. The essential message of Christâ€" ianity is a. transcendental one that brings hope and joy and love and peace to the hearts of those who believe. ’ as she importuned council to provide a place for the shelter of young people who had left home and made Yorkville their stamping grounds. Council finally agreed to lease to the author and Dr. John Rich, a Montreal psychiatrist, a Metro-owned house on Spadina Avenue. The two adults then made it available to Yorkville Dig- gers Inc. to operate as a rehabilitaâ€" tion centre for young drug users. 7 Now, the Diggers are gone, but they have left behind them $969 in arrears in rent and damages of $2,000. Listed are broken doors, win- dows, walls and a mantlepiece and frozen radiators. In fact, the damage may be so extensive that it will be impossible to repair the building and it will have to be demolished.

To direct this assistance where it was most needed and to avoid the difficulties associated with a: means test, the Income Tax Act was amended to reduce by $250 the deduction allowed for each dependent "qualified for family assistance“. This had the effect rich, and the middle income taxpayers merely exchanged money from one pocket to the other. In this arrangement, the' taxpayer who broke even was; one whose top tax bracket was either 29% or 38%. depending upon whether the individual de- pendent was eligible for $6/ month or $8/month assistance.

This nation might not be in such chaos. if. Mr. Trudeau’s disciples worked as diligently, and spent as lavishly on all of Canada‘s national problems as they do on converting English-speaking Canadians to the French language and culture.

Mr. Marsh says the aim of the food school is not neces- sarily to turn out 150 people who are definitely entering the cooking field. though last year 10 graduates went into the profession. and just rec- ently the school received a request for an apprentice baker. “They learn the import- ance of hygiene. and not only in relation to food." said Mr. Marsh. "They also learn an appreciation of good food. Many of our students come to us with a very nar- row conception of what food is all about. In other words their exposure to it has been limited. It has simply been something you eat when you are hungry." Each day they serve ap- proximately 40 hot meals â€" though again.

Bread and dinner rolls have to be made and dessert items which include cookies. eclairs. lemon and meringue pie. custard. pecan. butter and cherry tarts.

Mr. Bradbury} students devote their time to soups and main courses. First year students begin by learning how to make a basic stock which goes on to become soup and from there to make the whole range of sauces. The same applies to main courses where they work up to some really complicated dishes. With Mr. Marsh students learn short-order cooking, how to prepare salads. sand- wiches and baked desserts. The course also includes waiter and waitress instruc- tion. which means how to lay tables correctly. from which side to serve and how to take orders efficiently. Perhaps it will be a very small percentage of the stu- dents who actually decide to make food their career but perhaps the others will learn something too. They'll rea- lize the importance of co- operation with other people. and maybe. they‘ll also ap- preciate good food. While the orchestra tuned up I took a few min- utes to chat with Drummer Les Stanley. It was quite interesting to watch him as he busily checked and re-checked the tuning of the kettle drums, tightening one stop. loosening another, gently tap- ping each drum and checking its pitch against his bass harmonica. He informed me that “a cold breeze (or draft) just puts them all out” and when it ‘ comes to playing them "you spend your life count- ing”. When it comes to the Messiah it is apparently quite easy to play with counting runs of only about 45 to 90 beats. (There is one other piece of music he told me about in which: the drummer has to count 185 strokes between his parts in the playing of the piece!) “Yat-a-tat-a-hah! AGAIN. Yat-a-tat-a-hah !” ‘ There is a sharp staccato of strings, the bows quiver and fly, the horns grunt and then sing â€" everywhere there is a sound of tapping feet as the orchestra members keep time. “Now in this passage the angels are descending. getting closer ‘ we must try to duplicate this ef- fect." Together the orchestra and the choir struggle to achieve the desired effect â€"â€" and together succeed. In front of it all we witness the ‘Ballet of the Baton‘. Watch it as it dances in the air: now grace- ful. now imperious; now cajolling, now demanding; now quivering softly and now pounding out the beat. We were delighted to attend one of the choir’s rehearsals as they prepared for their two Easter presentations to be held March 31 at 8 pm in St. Mary‘s Anglican Church. and April 7 at 8 pm at Our Lady Queen of the World Roman Catholic Church. This year. at last. the choir includes members from some 10 churches in the Richmond Hill area. In addition membership was thrown open to all interested singers. Accompanying the choir in its presentation is the ,York Regional Symphony Orch- estra (nee RHSO â€"â€" they tell me it's the same orch- estra under a new name). The music is Handel’s beloved ‘Messiah‘. the occasion is the Second Annual Easter Presentation of the Ecumenical Choir. Choir and orchestra are working together under Conductor Ed Luka of St. Mary's, but Les ’Nicholls co-ordinated the whole production. One member praised Ed highly for his “patience, persistence and good humor” saying-that he was always coming out with something to ease the tense moments. Some of the solo voices to be raised in song under his direction are: Soprano Brenda Ash and Joan Plume, Alto Monica Vermeulen and Margaret Rigsby, Tenors Bernie Lynch and Gerald Grundy. and Basses John Allin and Robert Mang. (Unfort- unately. nowhere in the district were they able to find any good male soloists and so they had to import the men). The trumpet soloist is Len Hanna. As to the singing and the music itself. you will just have to hear it in order to appreciate it. I intend going back myself in order to hear the finished production. It promises to be firstâ€"class. That’s March 3]. at 2 pm at St. Mary’s Anglican or April 7 at 8 pm at Our Lady Queen of the World. May we wish all our readers a very Happy and Blessed Easter. Mona and Louise Robertson.
