BabsOn Discusses Ireland

DUBLIN, IRELAND, Sept. Is
The Steamship Mauritania
upon which Mrs. Babson and
were travelling, stopped at
Cobb. Ireland to drop off a few
passengers on its way to Liver
pool. AS neither of us had been
to Ireland, we thought this was
a good opportunity to spend a
week there. Hence, we disem-
barked at Cobb.
The O'DOugherty Castle
The island which we normally
think of as Ireland" consists of
two distinct divisions politically.
The Republic of Ireland Fire
comprises our-fifths of t h e
area: its population is independ-
ent. and largely Catholic. North
ern Ireland. consisting of six
counties is till a member of the
British Commonwealth and is
largely Protestant. 1t was set
tied chiefly by the Scotch.
The northwestern tip of this
Protestant section is O'Dougher-
ty country, which has the rem
nants of a Castle which Mrs.
Babson's ancestors built two
hundred years ago. 1t was con-
stantly in trouble. It was taken
by the English some forty years
after it was built: then tn e
O'Doughertys got it back for
about forty years, and thereaft-
er the occupancy of it switched
from one to the other. There is
a lesson here which may apply
to other countries where prop
erty has been seized by the Rus
SLAMS or other Communists. AL
though the O'Dougherty build
ings were burned and the cattle
and tools stolen, yet the title of
the real estate finally returned

to the original owners. This
makes me feel that Well-located-
real estate is one of the safest
investments in this troubled
world.
The People OF Ireland
The people of Ireland are
most courteous and Warmheart-
ed. They have laughter an d
hunor as well as curious super
stitions. They are known as
chronic exaggerators, due to
their kissing of the Barney
Stone! Both the men and women
are healthy. athletic, and hand
some. They are very trust
worthy. God-fearing working
people, charmingly graceful. In

have never met more friendly or
happier inhabitants.
We started at Cobb and went
along the South Coast, passing
wonderful old castles such as the
Dronoland Castle, built in the
Eleventh Century, the Ashford
Castle. and the Ballynahince
Castle. Hotels are reasonable.

but the fields are verdant.
Value OF Pasture Land
Although Ireland is smaller in
area than Pennsylvania, yet it
has marvellous ocean frontage
exceeding that of Florida. Some
of this is meadow farm land
extending down to the water; in
other places there are high
cliffs. AS l worked up the West
Coast and noticed this beautiful

Letters To Editor
Democratic Party
Still Best Bet

Editor. The Herald: ..-...E ....
Now that election day is draw
ing near with the scales appar-
emily tipped in favor of Mr..
Nixon, l wish to state a few
reasons why l expect to remain
with the party Of my people
the Democrats.
For me. the religious angle was
settled by Christ who taught the
value of tolerance, understand
ing and humility. Who am I to
question the faith that held the
torch Of Christianity aloft hun
dreds of years before the Protes-
tant Church was established?
Moreover. our founding fathers
wisely safeguarded the rights of
all Americans in our great Con
stitution and the Statute of Re
liglous Freedom.
Unfortunately, our political his
tory has not been clean. We, who
substitute gold for God. have ig-
nOred the Sermon on the Mount
and served the Prince Of the
World. The word polite in itself
signifies trick or cunning The art
of trickery always reaches a eli
max in a presidential campaign.
So We can expect anything On
the day after. the Ratchet will be
buried and all seemingly forgot
ten 1t is a familiar pattern.
After observing two gener-
ations of Kennedys in high office
l can truthfully say that nothing
has come to my attention to
arouse doubt in their integrity or
loyalty to the American way of
life. Mr. Nixon also has done his
work we'll He is, as he claims to
be. a Republican and the two
parties were created for differ
ent purposes. The space between
has not shaded into gray regard
less of such DISCUSSES as the New
Deal, the Fair Deal, the F'EPC
or the Warren Court.
The Republican party is a con
tinuation Of the Federalist party
which rorrocop+od tho ip,,oe+orc
bankers and manufacturers of the
North. The aim was and still is
Federal control. See any good
encyclopedia on history of U. S.
Political Parties
The Democratic party, once
known as the Democratic-R epub-
lican party, led by Thomas JEFF
ferson. represented the slave
holders, debt ridden farmers and
working people in general who
believed in state rights and local
self government. Mr.. Jefferson
and many OF h ers repeatedly
warned us of the dangers that
we face today. Our Legislative
folk in Washington ring out the
message that Federal control is
taking us down the road to Com
munism Have we not spilled
enough blood around the world
to stop and think before casting
a vote?
I believe that true integration
is a quality of the spirit and can
never be successfully controlled
by law. Has the Democratic
party ever tried to legislate
against the will of the people?
Our prestige with foreign gov
ernmerts has been impaired. !
would like to see confidence and
good will restored. Mr.. Nixon
would have a hard time mending
the breaches that have already
taken place.
Everybody laments the fact
that we have not men like Wash
ington and jefferson and Robert
E. Lee to vote for. After the Re
publicans had conducted the Civil
War and the cruel Reconstruc-
ton. men of that type in Virginia
turned to other lines of endeavor
and the whole world is poorer
by it.

Your next appointment with the
dentist may turn out to be pleas
ant surprise. As result Of team
work between dentists, engineers,
physicists and biochemists, much
of the pain has been taken out Of
dentistry. Here are some of the
most promising developments:
Advances in drills have made the
old boast of painless" nearly true.
A psychological anesthesia has
been devised to mask the unlovely
sounds of dentistry.
New techniques of replacing lost
teeth are being perfected.
High-speed drills - The most i'm
portant dental advance has been
to increase the speed of the drill,
from about 5000 revolutions per
minute only decade ago to better
than 100000 today. The new drills
are cooled by a jet of water, cut
faster and more gently. The patient
is spared the vibration that used to
be a dreaded feature of drilling.
kir-tUrbine drills - Even newer
than high-speed drills are ultra
fast drills which revolve as fast as
Evening star., 1960-09-25

a quarter of million times per
minute. These are powered by a
jet of compressed air which flows
through flexible tube and strikes
a minute turbine wheel. Because
they dispense with the familiar
belt-drive and the metal framework
hanging over the chair, they can be
maneuvered more deftly.
UIfrasonie instruments - An
other step forward eliminates the
rotary drill altogether. This new
tool uses high-frequency sound
waves to agitate a mixture of fine
abrasive particles and water. When
the mixture is brought into con-
tact with the tooth by a cutting tip,
almost any cavity is rapidly and
gently cleaned out. By agitating
water alone, without the abrasive
particles, the ultrasonic tool cleans
teeth swiftly, painlessly and eff
ciently and removes the hard tar
tar" deposits which tend to cause
receding gums. The instrument at
present still requires refinement.
