Show THE WORD FROM HOULDER j BY NETIIELLA GRIFFIN fj It is just as well that we don't indulge in new Easter dresses and hats. The only suitable dress here for this Easter would have been one that would look well under a heavy coat, and an Easter bonnet would have had to be well tied down or its owner might have had to chase it all the way to the Hogs Back or whichever way that rough wind was blowing. Our usual Easter afternoon ouings were considerably cur-taded, limited mainly to .parents with young children who had to search for a sheltered spot where a few colored eggi could be consumed. Oh, there are certain caves In the can-vons, of course, and coz ravines. I remember other windy Easters, back in the day when ,the comfort of an easy chair Indoors wan not as Inviting as it is now. A rather small group of us enjoyed a well-conducted Easter service at the church. Some who would have been there were at home iaklng an ti-influenza pills. Several of the men were finishing the J cattlo drive from the Flats. Cowmen often have trouble telling which day of the week It is, and Sunday has no chance when It ,1s in competition witl a hungry cow. On the Sundcj- School program, Golda Haws told the moving story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Little Cindy Peterson sang a song. Sandra Lyman .and Anna Leo Hansen also took part in the program, The wind must also have been blowing elsewhere today, since the usual procession of cars on the road during the Easter weekend was lacking. Irene King, who usually sees them all, told me of only one IrUrestlng visitor, a Mr. Reil-ly of the State JFIsh and Game Department at Beaver. He said that his father, Jaoces Rellly, now In his eighties, was one of tho Ha'e In the Rock children of the original trek. The elderly man islook-(contlnued Imldo) BOULDER Ing forward to participating in tho Sons of the Pioneers trip to the Rock this spring. We hear that the road to that historic site is being much improved by Kane County road workers.

So maybe it IS spring. |
