By MARION SWINDELL We have all heard of the wonderful way Luther Bur bank, the California botanist, succeeded in freeing flowers and fruits from their original bad qualities. He grew a walnut without tannin, and freed it from its disagreeable. taste, developed a dahlia with a pleasant instead of a disagreeable odor; produced plums and apricots without stones; and evolved thornless cacti. Can man be freed of all his faults of constitution, habit and training? They do it every dav. . These changes are brought on without the skillfulness and knowledge of men like Bur- bank. It is the result of the Individual efforts and the search for strength to over come How? By earnestly and honestly seeking this strange and wonderful strength can always be found.

Contact the Chamber office A Letter To The Editor Our society today is faced with many problems such as youth unrest, drug abuse, muggins, school drop-outs, ibck of sufficient job opportunities for youth, need for more youth recreational facilities, and many others. Dedicated youth leaders could help eliminate many of these problems. Communities need true leaders, but in reality they are hard to find. The question arises; "What is the function of a leader?" A leader is a person who can inspire others to become leaders. The writer is speaking of a person who has been inspired by Goa not taise leadership. He should look on the positive side of life and view the present situation in ms community with a mind set to improve that situation. Walking, not riding through the community, will enable in terested, would-be leaders, to get a better view of the con ditions of the community. A youth leader should inspire those in his charge to have the right concept of law and justice, to practice good health rules, to develop ingenuity in solving daily personal problems, and to make their own decisions.

Adults often speak of the conduct of youth today in a negative sense, that they are bad. However, the writer feels that youth is looking for relevance in and a sense of belonging to our dcmocfavtlc way of life, and that there wtil be little acceptable aJraV provement in youth behavior without the understanding of more dedicated leaders.

Did she really think of Easter in terms of sugared eggs, fluffy bunnies and pretty candies? Had I given her the im pression that for grownups Easter is a time for new clothes, flowered hats and fragrant corsages? Surely, at some time, I must have told her the real story of Easter. Or had I? I was really flabbergasted at jny . negligence it took my little daughter to make me realize it I dismissed my house chores and sat down right then to tell her the glorious Easter story of the Resurrection. I told her what hope this event brought for all of mankind with its promise of eternal life.

Straiburg, VltglnU THE CHURCH PROCLAIMS THE RISEN LORD International Sunday School Lesson for April 2, 1972 LESSON TEXT: I Corinthians 15. The aim of this Lesson is to help persons give full recognition to the importance of Christ's resurrection, both as itaffects the gospel and our personal faith.. This Easter Lesson appropriately deals with the rpfiiinwtion of the crucified Christ, and its importance to the basic precepts 61 Christianity, as . . . . ... . it the Church asa ooay, ana 10 ine spiniuai weu-uciu6 w individual Christian cannot be overemphasised. Paul, thasinner, the erstwhile persecutor of the Christian movement; was gloriously reformed in ChristBut he never lost sight of the fact that he had come from darkness into the . light by the grace of God and the advent of Christ, the Son of God. He humbly rejoiced that he was the most often com missioned of the twelve to do God's work.

This trust is monumental, for these truths are essential to the salvation of sinning man. Paul was ever conscious of this fact...hence his preoccupation with guiding the various churches which were offsprings of his ministry in the ways of the Lord. The Heart of Paul's gospel today, however, deals primarily with the death, the burial, and the glorious resurrection of Christ, In that order. V-: w The importance of this sequence of events was stressed by Paul time and time again; if Christians could not accept these facts and the supporting witnessing to ennst s resurrection on the part of many, then the glory of Christianity was, indeed, nullified. If life after death was not an acceptable tenet, then man was, indeed, without hope! "For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet In your t sins". (I Corinthians 15; verses 16 and 17 i .
