Easter: To many,
reaffirmation
pa
of Christian Faith
Easter
In today's modern world the Easter observance reflects the
mood of change and yet changelessness It’s many things to
many people Christians believe the true meaning of Easter - a
faith in God and the reincarnation of Christ.
Pageants and sunrise services are conducted to enact or
observe the life, death and resurrection of Christ
In Pawhuska Holy Week services have been conducted daily
since Palm Sunday sponsored by the Pawhuska Ministerial
Alliance Churches conducted special services and this morning
the observance of the community was climaxed with an Easter
Sunrise service at the football stadium
Different ages
But, again, Easter means differnt things to different ages
The results in spontaneous activities, some traditional and
others reflecting the mood of today's generation.
For the toddler to the pre-schoolers, it means marshmellow
candy eggs and a chocolate Easter bunny that melts in your
hands, not in your mouth It's all bestowed on the little ones in
various shaped baskets and buckets wrapped, taped, stapled
and tied as though to dare them to open them The bright, see-
through, colored wrapping, usually topped with an even brighter
ribbon, never seems to fail to bring a smile to children Add that
to the more fortunate children who get, in addition, a cuddly,
plush Easter bunny and it’s easy to understand how the Easter
bunny tradition has lived from generation to generation.
For the school age children, Easter also means "school's
out"! In Pawhuska's schools this meant a 5 day vacation
for them Students do not retun to classes until Tuesday To
them it also menas the fun and games of coloring eggs, too
hard boiled in mom's kitchen... in anticipation of an egg
hunt and a prize for finding the most.
For many college students it means an exodus to the sun-
bleached Florida beaches where a veneral disease epidemic
was forecast this weekend To others it meant time off to go
home, relax and worship It’s Easter
For those who have seen many Easters it means a family time
for relatives and friends to get together
Today’s proclaimed crisis of inflation, energy shortages,
world hunger and survival of world powers will serve as a back-
drop as Americans prepare family dinners to be indulged by
families traveling miles to be together.
In midwestern America-in Pawhuska-unempioyment is not

COUNCILMEN - Ward 1,
for $861 million
say oil probers
WASHINGTON (AP) - Fed-
eral investigators say the petro-
leum industry may have
cheated the public out of $861
million or more since the Arab
oil embargo more than $4
from every man, woman and
child in the nation
With only 59 cases completed
and at least 435 still under in-
vestigation, the Federal Energy
Administration already had
forced the industry to give back
some $612 million through re-
funds, price rollbacks, or can-
cellation of claims on future
price hikes
So far, there have been no
criminal prosecutions for al-
leged violations of petroleum
price and allocation rules or
fraudulent oil imports FEA
has tried to settle cases as of-
ten as possible through volun-
tary agreements with the of-
fenders.
FEA has issued only 10 “re-
medial orders" legally direct-
ing correction of violations; 11
more cases were settled by mu-
tual acceptance of “consent
agreements" in which the com-
pany does not admit any viola-
tions but agrees to pay up any-
way.
Even at this settlement rate,
FEA ays it has collected $976,-
710 in penalties for violations.
The violations involve all ele-
ments of the industry from pro-
ducers to retailers
The American Petroleum In-
stitute has said that it rejects
the implication that the na-
tion's oil companies have been
parties to a massive conspiracy
that has resulted in alleged
overcharges of from $1 billion
to $3 billion "
When the investigations were
disclosed earlier this month,
the institute said: “While we do
not have first-hand knowledge
of specific transactions we
cannot dismiss the possibility
that there have been some vio-
lations of federal price regu-
lations."
The FEA has given five in-
vestigations
names:

Swift; Ward 2 - Vernon Roy

more than $60 billion for the
1976 fiscal year that begins
July 1.
‘This is as far as we dare to
go,” Ford said. “I will resist
every attempt by the Congress
to add another dollar to this
deficit by new spending pro-
grams I will make no ex-
ceptions, except where our
long-range national security in-
terests are involved as in the
attainment of energy independ-
ence ”
Ford said he signed the
measure "despite the serious
drawbacks in this bill." He
urged Congress to have second
thoughts and, upon calm re-
flection," let the most con-
troversial provisions expire
after one year.
Under the new law, individ-
uals will get refunds of up to 10
per cent, but no more than
$200, on taxes paid for 1974.
