Easter is one of the oldest feasts In the history of the Chbstian church, The name.is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Eostre, a goddess of light or spring, whose festival was celebrated in April. It is not called by the same name in other countries. In Greek, French. Italian and al- most all other languages it is taken from the Hebrew pesach, meaning passover, the First Christlans consid- ering it a continuation of the feast of the Passover at which the symbol of Christ, the paschal lamb, was sac- rificed, In the East, the Christlan first ob- served Easter on the 14th of Nisan, which corresponded to April, the day on which the Jewish Passover fell. Many churches, however, celebrated it on the Bunday following that day. In the year 325 A, D., the Council of Nice fixed Easter as Sundaq, the first one after the full moon witich appears on or next after March 21. By “full moon” is meant the 14th day of the calendar moon. According to our “World Book,” it the moon is full March 21 and that day should be Saturday, Easter would fall on March 22, That is the carliest date on which it could oc- cur. The latest date would be April 25, and that would be the date if the moon should he full an Monday, March 20. In order to make more clear the different functions of the legislator, the “Observer” has compiled a list of officers and committees and at- tempts to define them, The Governor—One who refuses invitations' and who 1s constantly referred fo as being in favor of a certain road. Licutenant Governor—A glorified president pro tem. of the senate who checks up personally on senators. President Pro Tem.—A gentleman who occupies tlie charter oak chair while the lieutenant governor is telephoning. Clerk of the Senate—A whispering genius who tells the lleutenant governor all about what's what. Speaker of the House—One who is forced to appear {nterested, stand up during session, and untangle leglslators who are apt to err on proceedure, Majority TLeader—A gentleman azile in pouring oil on troubled waters, and who can only see trouble ahead if they don’t vote as he sces it. Minority Leader—Never-the-less a gentleman, although the rumor center for playful wits. Ciaims Committee—A set of treas- urary watch dogs who gives a peti- tioner for a Jump of the statc's meoney, leave to withdraw. Roads, Rivers and Bridges Com- mittee——A certain set of men privi- lcdged to hear about proposed roads, not so friendly with the high- way commission, and oftimes kl “logger heads” with the appropria- tion's committee, Finance Committee—IJriends the tax commissioner who are con- stantly entertaining fears for their brothers of the appropriations com- mittee: Judiciary Committee—A set of Iegal mechanics who are forced to nsk embarrassing acadenvc ques- tions in just as nice a way as pos- sible. Can fight hours over chang- | ing “whercas” to ‘“morc over,” Never-the-less a jolly, set. Taxpayer—One who attends all committee by mentioning that he is a taxpayer. Doorman — Ore who prevents angered people from slamming the door. Messenger—One who comes to you when you wave at him. There being no flies to scare away with a'& amendment very few mistakes ai made, Reformer—One who views with alarm what other people are doing and tries to get the state to pay out money enforcing laws. Highway «Commission — There, there now a definition would be out about, and why. 3 Committes Chalrman—One who reminds constantly the people at hearing that everybody at least the right to be heard in Connecticut. Law Mak 4 In response to the man on the street the Observe will attempt to explain how an idea can ripen into a law via the state legislature, Mr, “X" of Meriden has the idea that all public officlals could have mechanical lobby horses, He' gots Senator to introduce it by request, It 1s given a number and title “Concerning Public Officials.” The title is read out in the senate and referred to its proper commit. tee for a hearing, The hearing is advertised and Mr. “X" appears before the committee and tells what a fine thing it would be for public health and satety, etc. The bill then goes back to the senate and the clerk reads, “An act to compel all public officialy to ride mechanical lobby horses, favorable report of the committee on exercise, The senators then accept the com- mitt's report and pass the bill, the lower house passes the bill also, and the governor signs it. It then he- comes a law, and Mr, “X" {dea has ripened into a compulsion. Commentators at the state capitol in Hartford had much to say this week about the quiet and effective leadership of House Leader Ben. Jjamin W. Alling of the city, who was probably more responsible than any other individual for the adoption hy the house of the Sunday sports biil, Other leaders in years past have tried to secure the enactment of a bill which would liberalize sports on the Sabbath without turging the day Into a Roman holiday. It re- mained for the Leader Alling to put the measure through the house and 1t is belleved that it will be recelved favorably in the eenate. 1t is a coincident that George W Klett, Mr, Alling’s law partner, suc- ceeded in putting through the senat: a bill permitting motion pleture shows on Sunday. That measure, like the Suhday sports bill, traveled a rocky road before it was enacted int6 a law. ¥or three terms, the then Senator Klett worked for i, but it was not until 1919 that it became a law. Representative Alling 1s looked upon at the rongest” man in the legislature, He has a host of friends who have confidence In his judgment and who support his leadership.
