The Sun­ rise service is both a new and an old idea. Men have held the sun­ rise as a symbol of resurrection fo r thousands of years, but only recently have they celebrated the resurrection with the dawn and its beautiful natural surroundings Easter morning. The word “ Easter" originated from “ Eostre” , who was the -Goddess o f Spring in the religion o f ancient Angles and Saxons. Every Spring these people held a festival in her honor which they called Easter. After the old; Gods were put aside fo r Christianity, ihs festival was celebrated in honor o f the resurrection of Christ, but was still called Easter after the old Goddess. Many harmless pagan customs have been’ attached, to Easter: The Easter egg is the symbol of young life about to be born; the rabbit typifies abundant life; and the white lilies, purity and light. Easter should be a joyous oc­ casion fo r us fo r three reasons: it marks the return o f Christ tq Jifef the end o f Dirty days of phd a'lsp Easter ponies ip ppriy Springtime when every­ thing is awahppipg to life, PrexEssfer Events Mr. B.

Jones Brothers WinGoldMedal TourneyatCollege A near capacity crowd at the College gym saw the somewhat sensational Jones Brothers quin­ tet o f Dayton down a fighting and determined Martinsville five. Both teams played headsup ball throughout the game and Martinsville could have been the •victors just as easy as Jones Bros. Martinsville poured in 16 field­ ers through the hoop while they connected on 18 of 29 charity tosses. The Jones Brothers hit for 18 fielders and collected 13 more points on 16 attempted charity tosses. With a little more accuracy at the foul line Martin­ sville may have come out the winner again, however, the Jone’s boys were near perfection in this department and it was the pay o ff factor. Shields, the play maker and high scorer of the Dayton team was the outstanding performer of the tournament, but his hon­ ors were shared by the agile Mc­ Cormick of the Martinmen. Mc­ Cormick and Hobble scored 38 points o f the total 49 foj^Martin- sville while every man scored for''’ the Jones Brothers. This too was a deciding factor on the final outcome. The Jones Brothers jumped to an early lead and they led 14-7 at the end o f the first quarter. Martinsville came back strong in the second quarter to cut the lead to3 points. A t the half the score stood 24-21. The last half was the most thrilling o f the entire tourna­ ment. Every basket meant change in the lead. Exchanging basket fo r basket both teams fought to a 38-37 count at the third quarter. As the fourth quarter moved to a close Max-tinsville moved to a 49-48 lead with but 22 seconds left. The ball was stol­ en by Jones Brothers and Jack- son hit on an easy “ bunny shot.” Time ran out with Martinsville in possession of the ball. Jones Brothers B. F. T.

The Cedarville high school In­ dians, who rolled up a string of 22 straight victories on the bas­ ketball court during the past season went to the finals in the district tournament, are now win­ ning on the knife and fork cir­ cuit. After being dined by the Ce­ darville business men at the Old Mill recently and being the hon­ ored guests at the all-county ath­ letic banquet at Beaver Monday night, the highlight of the eat­ ing events took place at the high school last Thursday night with the annual banquet for the bas­ ketball team. . The main speaker for the event was Floyd Stahl, Ohio State base- ' ball coach and assistant athletic director. Coach Stahl’ first gain­ ed fame as mentor of the famed Stivers teams of two decades ago which featured Bill Hoskett, Max Fadlow and Bobby Colburn and won three state championships for StaH in his first four years of coaching. Others on the program were Ned Brown, former Cedarville high school athlete, publicity di­ rector o f the University of Day- ton; Rankin McMillan, president ' of the board of education, who complimented Coach Clyde Wal­ ker on the successful season and presented him a Hamilton wrist watch with the compliments of Cedarville people. Mendell E. Beattie, Cedarville College ath­ letic director, acted as toastmas­ ter for the banquet. The invoca­ tion was given by Cedarville col­ lege president, Ira D. Vayhinger. ' The meal was in charge of the FHA girls of the home ec depart­ ment of the high school under the direction of their teacher, ■Mrs. Robert Marshall.

The Pennsylvania railroad lias again declared a willingness to install flasher signals at.the two street grade crossings, with half­ arm bars giving automatic warn­ ings. This method is almost uni­ versally used by railroads the country over in connection with manual guarding. A t present a single watchman is stationed at the Main street crosing. There are electric hells and a Semaphore at the Miller street crossing. The railroad has agreed at Several times in the past to install free of cost to the village the flasher-gate system, but a sufficient number of votes in council has never been obtain­ ed. At the last session of council a petition was presented request­ ing retention of the present man­ ual protection, which leaves both Main and Miller streets unguard­ ed except for the hells from 10 p. m. -to 6 a- n>. The safety committee is asked to report at the May meeting its recommendation on the pe­ tition and the PRR’ s proposal to install the mechanical warning signals. ' Impetus was given the cross­ ing protection situation a few weeks ago when four persons were killed at the Miller street crossing. Only a short time be­ fore that there had been another fatal accident at the Main street crossing. Petitioners for retention of the watchman method insist that the system is safer than-the mechan­ ical warnings.
