Daffodils golden in the sun, A wealth for the humblest all around, A crown for spring when winter is done. The blue-birds' mellow ecstacy Can give my thoughts the right ful word, Glad music floats from every tree— Earth's praises to our Risen Lord. Fit your own words to the bright Church-bell’s ringing— Here are the words that the choirs are singing: (“Gounoud's Sanctus") •‘Holy, holy, holy. Lord God of hosts— Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory— Glory be to Thee, oh Lord Most High. Amen.” Earth is an altar of praise and prayer— The beauty of holiness everywhere. -Christ is risen:” the Church-bells are ringing— “Holy, holyl” the blue-birds are singing. —Miriam Moore Whitehead THE DATE OF EASTER One of the most important prob lems of the annual ecclesiastical calendar is to determine the date of Easter. The famous ecclesiast ical council of Nice, 325 A.D., laid down the fundamental rules for this calculation. These are still adhered to. The change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar created no difficulty. The basic rule is that Easter shall be the first Sunday which follows a full moon falling on March 21 or next thereafter, i.e., a full moon on or following the date of the vernal equinox. They also laid down a rule that the day on which the moon is 14 days old shall be con sidered the date of the full moon. This esslesiastical full moon does not therefore coincide with the astronomic full moon phase. In using the astronomic phases of the moon one should count 14 days ahead from the new moon phase. At this time, it is interesting that the exact time elapsing be tween the astronomic new moon and the full moon phase is about 15 days. This is a variable quant ity as the lunar orbit about the earth is not circular, but is an ellipse, and the moon has differ ent speeds in different parts of its orbit, and the moon is not at the same place on its orbit at suc cessive full moon phases. The And the place to save for that rainy day is in our bank where your account is invited, protected and insured. THE NORTHWESTERN BANK BLACK MOUNTAIN • OLD FORT average phase period of the moon is about 29.53 days and half of this is about 14.76 days, which is the average age of the moon at the astronomic full phase. The difference between the August full and new moon phases this year, for example, will be slightly less than 14 days, show ing that it is possible for the ec clesiastical and astronomic full moons to come not only on the same date but also even quite close in actual occurrence. The members of the Council of Nice were not ignorant of the differ ence which they were making for the movements of the moon were well known hundreds and hund reds of years before their meeting —Mrs. Thos.

DURO BOND HI'ADQUARTBBS" FOR SERVICE I Complete and official figures show that again in 1954 -for the 19TH straight year MORE PEOPLE BOUGHT CHEVROLET THAN ANY OTHER CAR r w % ~ No other low-priced car even comes dost to matching these important Chevrolet advantages • • • If you're planning to buy a new car, the one you just can’t afford to miss seeing is Chev rolet—for 19 straight years America’s best selling car. The Motoramic Chevrolet offers you so much more than the other low-priced cars that it s hardly fair to compare them. And even the high-priced cars don’t have all the advantages that today’s Chevrolet offers you. The beauty's built in-not bolted on! And that makes a big difference—not only in how your car looks today, but in how it will look tomorrow, too. Chevrolet’s good looks spring from fine, clean design. The beauty is inherent in the basic contours of metal and glass. I here's no excessive bolted-on orna mentation to go out of style overnight. The Body’s by Fisher! No other low-priced car has a Body by Fisher -but many of the high-priced cars do. That fact alone tells you there must be something mm illi extra special about the style, quality and con struction of Body by Fisher. And there is! You can see it, feel it and even hear it when you slam the door. Today's most modern engines! That goes for Chevrolet's new V8 and two new sixes as well. For example, all Chevrolet engines bring you a modern 12-volt electrical system-double the voltage of other low-priced cars. This means quicker cold weather start ing and a greater electrical reserve. Then Chevrolet's new “Turbo-Fire V8” has the shortest piston stroke in the industry, and develops the highest power per pound of anv Y8 m the low-price field. It takes valve-in head leadership like Chevrolet’s to brine you engines like these! A drive to suit your driving! You can take your choice of three different drives—and every one’s as modem as tl, .' minute. There’s silky, peppery Powerglide ■ (even better this year!), new Overdrive (both extra-cost options), and a new Synchro-Mesh transmission that s as smooth as they come.
