at 20 Drummond avenue, Chevy

Gerald from the suburb Of Beal
Modern and Joyce from the center
of the city.
Before coming to the United
States Gerald attended a school in
Southern England for two months
because the students had been evac-
uated from his school in London.
The Southern English school was
like a camp, he said, and the DOR
mitories like American log cabins
His hobby is stamp collecting and
his favorite sport is soccer.
Gerald also lived for a time aboard
the liner Empress of Australia in
Glasgow Harbor before it sailed for
the United States. because 1t had
broken a cable and had to remain
in port for repairs. The liner was
escorted half way across the At
lantic by a convoy of British de-
stroyers.
A German submarine was sighted
in the middle of the ocean. Life
boats were prepared, Gerald said,
and the destroyers raced over the
spot where the sub had submerged,
dropping depth charges. AS far as
he knows, the U-boat was not hit.
1t did not fire a torpedo at the liner,
however.

Read them both and then We'll
talk about st. Patrick" she an
/ sWered. You see, he was a great
hand for doing things, but not
much of a hand 10 write about what
he did. Maybe note paper was
| pretty scarce in those days"
After we had finished our talk, l
decided boy and girl readers would
be interested in knowing more about
St. Patrick than the fact that he was
patron saint of Ireland and was said
to have driven the snakes out of
that country by beating a drum.
Therefore, here is how I have sum-
med it all up:
Authorities differ as to when ST.
Patrick was born, but they agree
that it was some time between 372
A. D. and 387 A. D. The location of
his birthplace is in doubt, too. Some
claim that it was near Dumbarton
| on the River Clyde in Scotland,
while others hold that it was Clay
morganshire, Wales. He came of a
good family. His father, CalpurniuS,
held public Office as member of the
Municipal Council. Britain was a
part of the Roman Empire in those
days. His mother, Concessa, was a
niece of the sanity Martin of Tours.
They named their son Succat and
he bore that name until he was
about 16 years old, when a band of
Irish pirates swept down on the
loWlands and kidnapped him. They
didn't have to be told that he was
of good birth and breeding, so they
christened him Patricius, or the
young patrician. Personally think
they did better job than his parents
had when they named him. Any
way, the name stuck and that is how
he is remembered as the great mis-
sionary to Ireland.
After his captors had given him
new name they put him to work,
like David of old, tending sheep on
the hillsides in what is now County
Antrim During the six or seven
years that he was there he learned
the language and customs of the
people.
From later events it would seem
that Irish charm must have won
his affections, but not so much but
that he took the first opportunity
to escape to France, where some
think he went to his Uncle Martin
and others say to the Monastery of
Lerins. 1t is pretty certain that he
then made his way back to Britain.
But he could not forget the people
among whom he had been held
captive and determined to return to
them as Christian missionary,
In order to do this he went to
France for IA years of study. In
432 A. D., under the authority of
Pope Celestine. he returned to Erin,
where Christianity had already
gained foothold. But most of Ire
land was pagan and the fight was
on between Patrick and the Druid
priests. He was powerful preacher
and performed many wonderful
miracles, winning convert after con-
vert, and Christianity finally
triumphed.
The shamrock, with its three
heart-shaped leaves, was already re-
garded by the Irish as a mystic
emblem, and St. Patrick used it to
explain the Divine Trinity to them.
Thus it became a mystic emblem
and has remained so down through
the ages.
st. Patrick is said to have lived
to be 120 years old, and March II
is observed as the anniversary of his
death. This is the day when girls
wear green hair ribbons, boys sport
green ties and mother serves green
desserts. a

There is great satisfaction in COM
Ing out of the house on a sunny
spring morning and seeing a saucy
Jenny Wren busily carrying nesting
material to the birdhouse that you
have put up for her special use.
And later, when you see her coaxing
and scolding her reluctant brood
from the safety of the nest, giving
them their first lesson in Tending for
themselves, you will feel repaid ten
fold for the few pleasant hours spent
In putting up the house that has
sheltered them.
For as long as I can remember.
there have been two cigar box wren
houses under the caves at the two
outer corners of our front porch
Each spring pair will nest in one
of the houses. After then brood
has been trained in the rudiments
of bug catching and cat lodging,
the parents move to the other side
of the veranda and proceed to raise
family No. 2.
Besides the clgar-box type of
house, there are several others which
have built and which the birds
have found highly satisfactory
They were fun to build, as we'll as
inexpensive.
Most birds like inconspicuous
homes, so one made to look like part
of the tree that shelters it should
prove popular. The foundation for
this may be any shape of wooden
box. A square or triangular box

from a fallen log and cut in pieces
