BY THE MAN ABOUT TOWN

Al smith, Mon signor Fulton Sheen. Dave Fit2. gerald and Frank Guilfoile, were some of the men that l heard talk there. Peter Griffin, for years one of the leading HibcnianS in this state, was always on hand With Mike McGann. Mike McGrail and Col, Murphy.

 The News that's going round; The shamrock is by law forbid to

 No more St. Patrick's day, our

 For there's a bloody law against
 the wearing of the green
 But the green 1t shall be worn And the orange will be torn,
 And the green flag Of Ireland
 shall flourish once more.
 Iris the most distressing country
 that ever I have seen
 For they're hanging men and
 women for the wearing of the
 green,
 But Ireland has come long way since those days Not only in Ireland itself, but in this good old U $, A. Just glance over the list of judges on the superior court bench in Connecticut. McEvoy, O'Sulllvan Daly, Quinlan, Mclaughlin. Mur- phy, Cornell and Shea. And I think there is a little Irish in Ken Wynne, too.
