HUNTER, MANAQINQ EDITOR EDITORIAL Easier Greetings . Why ike lp. Saturday, April 24, 1943 Easter brintrs us hard-boiled eetrs. rabbits, flnwprs. hot cross buns and Easter cards. Strangely enough, .most 01 tnese present-clay objects and customs had their birth so oar DacK in antiquity that digging into records for origins and birthplaces is like trying to dig a well in qujck-sand. The name Easter itself comes from the name of the pagan Saxon goddess of spring Ostara, or Eostre. In their springtime celebrations each year, the early Saxons denied me lowiy rabbit winch, because ot its conjugal habits, was considered to be the symbol of fecundity. Thus the little chocolate rabbits one sees in the candy store windows at Easter. . The egg goes much further back in the annals of human history. Ancient Egyptians'' first started the custom of painting eggs at Easter. In "Chinaheregg has always been the symbol of life eternal. Even tb"day,nhe Chinese venerate the egg, and the older the egg the more, thev venerate it which might be considered as carrying ancestor-worship a little too far. Easter lilies were originally Egyptian and had a major part in all springtime religious celebrations. It is known that in the excavations at Herculaneum in Rome two fossilised hot cross buns were found complete and intact in a buried oven. Their remarkable state of preservation is not verv flattering to the skill of the Roman housewife who baked them. Even the Easter greeting card, which might justly have been called an, .English invention, is found to have its origin in the mlilti-qqlored eggs; which the Russian peasants passed arduiid; at Ea'ster., Each eo-g had painted on it a few words of greeting 'and good wishes. Truly, there is nothing new. under the sun. Perhaps even the astounding has yorn by the modern Miss at Easter had their cqUrite'rpaiM; in Ancient Rome or 'far Cathay! ,' !. : ' You Should VICTORY Loan Bonds They Help You Save They Help Win the War They Earn Money for You They Provide Cash in Emergency They Will Buy Post-War Goods Victory Bonds are just like money. They are issued by your Government to you in exchange for a loan. When you buy a Victory Bond you are simply exchanging one form of money for another. Ordinary money is the kind you get when you sell things you raise on your farm, and pay out when you buy things need. you Victory Bonds are a form of bills intended to be saved. And a Victory Bond earns money for you every day you have it. A $100.00 Bond earns $3.00 for you every year.
