...nation the drop was 17% below the 1959 level. A blizzard closed most businesses in Atlanta last week, forced many department stores to postpone sales. Sighed one auto dealer: "A man has to be pretty desperate to shovel his way into a dealer's showroom." Another factor: Easter will fall three weeks later this year than in 1959, postponing much retail buying. Sears, Roebuck President Charles Kellstadt said Sears is having an unimpressive first quarter, but he still expects sales in 1960 to be as good as last year. Said he: "We'll have to wait a while...
None of the articles are as sweeping as those of the 1461 synod, which was directed at the tightening up of the laxities of Renaissance Rome, and established the Easter duties of confession and Communion, set up temporal penalties for blasphemy, forbade gambling, fortunetelling, sorcery, secret marriage, marriage with blood relatives, marriage in Lent and Advent, ordered parents to keep infants under one year in cribs and ordered priests to eschew fancy hairdos.

...James Payson Dixon, 42, as 15th president of "study-plus-work" Antioch College (enrollment: 1,300) in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Physician Dixon succeeds Samuel B. Gould, who became the first chancellor of the University of California at Santa Barbara. A genial, rugged down-Easter, raised on a Maine farm, Dixon is an Antioch graduate (1939). He did the school's part-time circuit (alternating terms of study and work) by night clerking and bus building, went on to Harvard Medical School and a career in public health. Dr. Dixon did a notable seven-year job as Philadelphia...
