The calendar is in their favor, as March 22, Thursday, is the official beginning of "Spring." Put churches in the commu nity will be the main center of community activity throughout Plattsmouth and most of the county Sunday, as they pay homage to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. A list of churches and the hour that services will be held is printed in the second section of the Journal. Plattsmouth churches, and all of those listed in the Journal, invite you to their Easter Sunday services. While most Eastertime events are related to the life of Jesus, in many instances tradition, legend, superstition and irrever ent invention have seeped into the Easter season. Madri Gras, a French name for Shrove Tuesday, the day be fore Ash Wednesday, beginning of Lent, literally means "Fat Tuesday." It alludes to an old ceremony during which a fat ox was paraded through the streets in Paris and other European cities. Lent, being a period of fast ing, Madri Gras, became a car- April Program For Cub Scouts Is Outlined Plans for the April activities of Cub Scouts in Cass county were outlined Wednesday night at a meeting of Cub officers from the county.

In England the day be j fore Lent was observed by eating pancakes, a tradition being car ried out here in the annual "Shrove Tuesday Pancake Feed." New Orleans, Biloxi, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama, all claim ancestry to the . origin of the Madri Gras in America. Easter pageants, such as the Passion Play presented every tenth year since 1364 at Obe rammergau, Germany, and simi lar ones in Oklahoma and South Dakota, not to mention the many local pageants, are now a part of the Easter season. On Palm Sunday in Spain, natives formerly hung the palm they received at church along side their homes, believing the palms served as lightning rods. Other superstitions are pre valent in Mexico, where children drive the devil out of town by creating a terrific din with rat- l ties. On Good Friday in medie- val France, all church bells were ; believed to make la pilgrimage to Rome, and the townspeople stayed indoors so not to see their flight. The bells remained quiet until their return on Eas ter Sunday. But here, the short trek to church is the method whereby Easter is observed. Thousands of Plattsmouth people will ob serve it in this way, Sunday, March 25.
