FOR De VALERA
God Inspires My Son, "
Says Irish Leaders
Mother
BORN IN AMERICA,
REARED IN IRELAND
BY ALICE ROHE

ROCHESTER,. N. y. Aug. 20. 49,
God it is who inspires my son-not
merely his mother-so why should I
be OF interest?"
A snowy-haired old lady with blue
Irish eyes and as determined a
mouth as ever expressed belief in
Ireland's freedom was the speaker
Mrs. Catherine Wheeiwright. mother
OF Eamon de Valera, president Of the
Irish Republic.
While the son occpies the center
Of the stage in world interest. the
heart of Ireland may be said to beat
from this little house in a Rochester
side street.
II was here canon de Valera first
visited two years ago when all the
British authorities were looking for
him.
Mrs. Wheelwright. blue eyes snap

tion and vigor. looks the part OF as
unhinching an Irish patriot as ever
gave mother interest TO any Irish
stage drama.
"Of course, a mother plays a part
in her sons destiny. but my mother,
too. had a lot to do with 'Ee's' life.
What a man becomes depends on his
early training.
MY boy-a great man? Well, ]
guess England isn't so fond Of himl'
The old lady laughed. "He certainly
has given the British lions tail few
tweeks.
Yes. he is a great worlds figure
but the truce and the whole future
Of Irelands freedom is Gods will
Gods purpose working through my
son.
You think my son an important
man today; we'll IL isn't anything tC
what he's going TO be-"
Mrs. Wheelwright turned towart

Looking at the purposeful. shrew,
keen old lady, whose lined face is
dynamo OF energy. one could under
stand what inheritance she had bs
slowed upon her son.
ITS best for me not to talk aboi

sic In State and Nation.

This is the cut of the Christmas
Seal to be used this fan To raise
money to fight tuberculosis. The plan
of raising money for anti tuberculosis
work by means of selling one cent
Christmas Seal was first tried four.
teen years ago by the American Red
Cross, AT that time about 0,000
seals were sold which meant a contri
button of three thousand dollars. From
this small beginning the sale of seals
have increased each year until in
1920 over 364 million seals were sold
which meant over $36l0,0O0 for tn,
berculosis work.
Two years ago the American Red
Cross relinquished the sale of the
Christmas Seals TO the National TIL
berculosis Association and its affii.
ated associations in every state in the
union. A sa result the seals are not
designated as formerly Red Cross
Seals but merely Christmas Seals, the
proceeds however are used for the
same purpose as formerly
In Vermont the seal sale is in
charge OF the Vermont tuberculosis
Association and all but five percent
of the net receipts. which is sent to
the National Tuberculosis Association

The sale has been conducted largely
by school children under the super.
vision OF teachers, women's clubs and
other interested persons. Last year
q little over eight thousand dollars
was raised in Vermont Dy the sale Of
the Christmas Seals THIS year the
ASSOCIATION will endeavor to raise ten
thousand dollars. The proceeds will
be used for the children at the Pre-
ventoriunl, the expenses of the Mod
ern Health Crusade, the district tu-
berculosis nurses and clinics and the
health educational work, all under the
supervision OF the Vermont Tubercu
losis Association.

that time. according to the story
which Shaw told during the trial at
Augusta, he was interested in sell

he met them through Charles Thorn
