ist Pat Frank is an interesting
254-page parcel of science fiction.
Recently published by J. P.
Lippincott (Philadelphia and New
York), the novel has its setting in
Florida at a little known .place
called Fort Repose. Hero in the
book, Randolph Bragg, has strong
inclinations that the Russians are
up to something . . . probably his
suspicions are based on intelligence
reports and a myriad facts from
his brother (a reliable source) with
the* -Strategic Air Command, who
also suspects something is up.
Resorts Are Targets
After much ado, a number of
H-bombs find targets on such
resorts and time-honored tourist

Randy is the indispensible man
of the half-hour and the Johnny

feeding on Armadillos, etc.
The story should not be taken
too seriously, even though it's
pleasant reading for the avid
science fiction fan ... and to this
group, it will prove a popular at
traction.

Painting Stresses Lines
Using one of the paintings in
the show as an example, Bardin
described the large 50" x 60" oil,
titled "Accents in Space," as "a
high key painting with little con
trast, which achieves a feeling of
flat space stressing vertical and
horizontal lines." The painting is
done in pale greens, yellow greens
and tones from yellow to orange.
The show is open to the public
and there is no admission charge.
This is the fourth in a series of
exhibits arranged by Prof. Ed

exhibits have been by artists Doris

By FRANK HIGHSMITH
Feature Writer
The word "Lent" is 'derived
from Anglo-Saxon and means
"long days" or "Spring." To the
modern churchman it means a
period of preparation for Easter.
Ash-Wednesday begins this sea
son and it is interesting to note
that the six Sundays of Lent
are not a part of Lent. Every
Sunday commorates Easter, so
they are feasts.
Ash-Wednesday
Ash-Wednesday takes its name
from the ancient custom of car
rying to church the palms that
had been blessed on the-Palm
Sunday of the previous year.
Here they were -burnt and the
ashes placed on the foreheads of
the faithful in the shape of a
cross, this was to show that man
is but (lust and will return to
dust.
Our 40-day Lenten period com
memorates Christ's fasting and
preparation in the wilderness,
and so serves as a preparation
for the feast of Easter. The
Fourth Sunday in Lent is known
as Mid-Lent, Mothering Sunday,
or Refreshment Sunday from the
Gospel for the day which tells
the story of the feeding of the
multitude.
The second Sunday before
Easter is called Passion Sunday,
because of the Gospel reference

Easter
to our Lord's Passion.
Palm Sunday
This past Sunday was Palm
Sunday, more commonly known
as the Sunday -before Easter. It
is also the first day of Holy
Week, and observes Christ's
triumphal entry into Jerusalem
to proclaim his Messiahship. It
is on this day that we think of
Christ as the victorious King.
Today, M a u n d y Thursday,
takes its name from the word
meaning "mandate" or "com
mand." It was on this day that
the Lord commanded the apostles
to love one another and to .par
take of the Blessed Sacrament
"in remembrance of Me," as He
instituted in the Euchrist. In
addition to the institution of the
Euchrist we remember on Maun
dy Thursday our Lord's washing
the feet of the 12 apostles, and
His betrayal and arrest.
Good Friday
Good Friday is the saddest day
in the Christian year. It is on
this day that we think of our
Lord on the Cross, and from
noon until three, we attend
church to hear meditations on
the seven last words or other
appropriate themes. Good Fri
day is the only day in the year
when the .Lord's Supper is not
celebrated.
The day, when Christ's body
lay in the garden of Joseph of
Arimathea, is given the name
Easter Eve. This is the 24 hour
period preceding Easter. It is on
this Saturday that Lent comes
to a close.
Faster
The day which follows the
last day of Lent is Easter. The
key to a Christian's .belief is
found in the fact that Christ is
risen. Easter is the Queen of
the Feasts and the apex of the
church year.
It is upon its date that three
fourths of the rest of the year
is hinged. Its date may be from
March 22 to April 25 and is the
first Sunday following the first
full moon after the Spring equi
nox.
On Easter we look to the fu
ture. Our hopes are great and
their fulfillment is assured. The
Easter message gives us confid
enee and hope.
