ONE WEEK BEFORE EASTER
The most significant period of the Christian year
is Holy Week, the week before Easter, beginning Palm
Sunday, yesterday, March 29.
Palin Sunday celebrates Christ's triumphal entry
into Jerusalem and the strewing of palm branches in j
his path by the multitude.
Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Sup-i
per and the washing of the d^iples' feet; also Christ's'
agony in Gethsemane and his betrayal by Judas.
Good Friday represents the day of the crucifixion
and is celebrated in Catholic and Anglician churches j
with great solemnity. |
Easter Even is the name given to the entire day of
24 hours between Good Friday and Easter, a period for
prayer and religious contemplation.
Easter Sunday, the most joyous day of the Christ
ian calendar, commemorates the resurrection, and this
year falls on April 5. In the early history of the church
Easter was observed on various dates by different bod
ies of Christians, but the Council of Nice in the year 325
fixed it as the first Sunday following the full moon oc- i
curring on or next after the vernal equinox, March 21.
Easter Sunday may come as early as March 22 or
as late as April 25, and its date governs all ecclesiastical
days from Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, to
Trinity Sunday, eight weeks after Easter.
TIMOTHY MICHAEL HEALY
As Irish as the Irish, Timothy Michael Healy, who
passed away Saturday, was as tender as a child, emo
tional, moved to tears at a friend’s misfortune, he
could be bitter, and utter against his enemies mordant
phrases whose brilliancy made their point enduring. A
born orator on the platform, Ireland’s famous states
man had a tireless industry.
Foremost among his characteristics was an amaz
ing personal courage. As Governor General, Healy was
the chief figure at many social functions. He went
everywhere. He never ceased to take interest in Amer
ican events, and this was enhanced by his professional
interest as a skilled lawyer in the leaders of his profes
sion beyond the Atlantic.

Why not have the Lone Eagle, Colonel Lindberg,
secure the good influences of the Hon. Samuel Guggen
heim in urging the American people to eat more fish
instead of trying to fly higher into the realms of ether?
With Guggenheim’s funds to supply salmon and halibut
and the appetite of the American people to consume the
supply, everybody could then take an interest in air
nautics and would at least know what was meant by a
flying fish.
Superiority of man over matter is strikingly illus
trated in the case of Mahatma Gandhi, the 96 pound
brown man of India who by sheer force of his charac
ter and leadership has caused Britain to change her en
tire policy with respect to his native land. No greater
moral victory was ever won by mortal man than this.
As a first result of Gandhi’s recent agreement with the
British viceroy, 24,000 pblitical prisoners have been giv
en their freedom.
Hoover spends a million dollar^ in taking a few
weeks vacation in southern seas but does nothing to
ward the $500,000 cut in Alaska Railroad appropriation,
whereby thousands of Alaskans are made the “goat.”
The Alaska Railroad spends thousands of dollars to
bring in farmer settlers but not a dime toward develop
ing the mineral resources which means immediate ton
nage. Wham’s the motive behind this?
Americans are said to be radio-conscious. But some
of the programs make one wish he were unconscious.

ture was 50 below and a strong
wind was blowing.
Moller described it as the tough

to McCarthy.
The plane was left in the iso
lated country and no attempt has
been made to recover it.
