JO'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times ow = Have you noticed the 'wearin' o' the green" this "week? Seen the shamrocks, the hats, the pipes and felt the "unseen presence of the "little people" all around? The = magic of the Emerald Isle touches all of us at this time »of year and by March 17 we are all caught in the spell. "Maybe the Dubliners went a bit far in blowing up Lord «Nelson's column and the demolition squad wreaked further = damage, but surely it was a mistake to erect the statue «there in the first place. The brave Horatio was no Irish- man. = _ How is it that so many nationalities around the world "take note of St. Patrick's~Day, the anniversary of Ireland's "patron saint who lived over 1500 years ago? Is it because the Irish have kept their ethnic identity Shetter than the English or the Scots? Perhaps it has to do with the Irish grace and charm and fun-loving ways, but "how does a race, however lovable, charm'a whole world «vith its traditions and customs so that big North American "cities such as New York, Boston, Chicago and San Fran- «cisco actuallyshave St. Patrick's Day parades as big and "boisterous aS those in Dublin? - Probably a little coterie of Irish writers and artists "around the turn of.the century had more to do with it than St. Patrick's legendary good works and 'magic'. =Soul Of Poetry % = Modern literature chronicles the fact that the Irish "poet, William Butler Yeats, and the dramatist, Lady = Gregory, in the early 1900's, decided to change the current "image of the typical raffish Irishman and let the world "know Ireland meant poetry, legend, folklore, song, music of speech, beauty of face, tragedy of heart and love and = not slap-stick, but deep, compassionate humor. * Through their writings. and their enthusiasm, they " awakened the world to the reality of Irish life, history and «customs. Here is a sample of that unconscious humor. " Picture three men in a small boat. One calls through the «voice-pipe to a diver below: "Come on up -- we're ™ sinking." Jimmy Gibbons' Row has gone and Oshawa has lost "tts little Irish settlement. In the past three weeks a row Of little white frame cottages én Prince street has been "brought to dust and so vanishes Cork Town. pet Maybe they didn't mean very much but the houses "had spelled the comforts of home to many families over "perhaps a hundred years. be Mrs. Leo Karnath who has lived in Oshawa for 73 "years told me that the row had belonged to bachelor Jimmy Gibbons who also owned property on Colborne . Street west as far as the bowling greens. Many Irish im- migrants had already come to Oshawa to work at the On- tario. Malleable Iron Company and they wanted nothing better than to live close to their church, the old St. Gregory's. "I grew up with the Normoyles, the Mullens, the O'Learys and the Murphys," mused Mrs. Karnath. "No wonder it was called Cork Town. It was also called cab- bage town, because every little house had a prolific vege- table garden." Where St. Gregory's School now stands was once the ~ graveyard and Mr. Tom Bouckley, Oshawa's archivist, "has photographs that bear pitness to this. - A Haven Far From Home Mr. W. L. Murphy recalled that his grandmother had come from Ireland as a girl and gone to work for Squire J. B, Warren. Later, one by one, the rest of the family came and so it was with other Immigrants from the "Emerald Isle and they naturally clung together around = their church, the centre of their lives. On the west side of Prince street, lived a Mrs.. Carr = whose son became a Basilian priest, the much-loved "Father Harry Carr. He was also a great hockey and foot- ball coach and the first, Mr. Murphy tells me, to use a blackboard in his training programs. Speaking of the changing face of Oshawa [ have not _ encountered any jubilance at the prospect of commerce and construction invading the lakeshore properties. In a private, unofficial survey of all and sundry, here and there, an interesting train of thought emerged. A number of citizens expressed the opinion that City Plan- ning Board and the directors of Oshawa Generai Hospital should take a good look at the land designated 'or a shop- ping plaza or row housing before it is beyond their grasp, ~ This location, they felt, would be ideal for a maternity home a nursing home or hospital for chronic cases. This * would relieve the demands on the OGH, which is big enough already and cannot, without invading parkland, " overcome its parking problems, This, gentlemen, has been my finding and I pass it along, gratis. Also, and here I go again sticking my silly neck out, If Simeoe South bridge is going to cost so much and Ritson «South bridge we don't have yet, would it not cost less than the price of two bridges to divert the creek out - through the swamp beside the waterworks? Well, I only asked, Mrs. Richard Thorne has given me the story of a daring sea rescue which occurred 84 years ago today. The hero of the story, Captain George Mallett, was Mrs. = Thorne's grandfather. It is a reminder of the trials and « heroism of Nova Scotia's early seamen. A United States ship named 'Seamer' left Philadei- phia bound for New: Orleans, March 12, 1882, carrying a "cargo of 1,000 tons of coal. When the ship was only four "days out of port, a gale of considerable violence broke = out early in the morning. Addie Benson To The Rescue ne At five a.m. the cargo shifted and the small vessel began to leak. By 19 a.m. the ship had taken so much © water it was impossible to keep her afloat so distress sig- « nals were sent out. In answer to the plea for aid came the * "Addie Benson", a Nova Scotian brig on its way to Saint John from Havana, under the command of Captain George "Mallett of Plympton, Digby County, AS. The brig laid by to see what could be done to save the crew of the stricken ship. is By two o'clock in the afternoon, seven men managed to get from the '"'Seamer"' to the "Addie Benson" in a life- boat but in their eagerness, they leaped on board the res- cue ship and let the lifeboat drift. Then three Nova Sco- ~ tians lowered a smail boat to go after more men but this boat started to fill with water. Two of the men managed to get back on board the "brig but the third drifted away with the boat. When the _ captain saw this he went to the rescue himself and suc- ceeded in bringing the drifting boat back to the ship, Then he called for volunteers to man the lifeboat and go to the stricken ship, but his men wanted no part of a tossing ~ lifeboat on a stormy sea, so he determined to go himself. - At this, volunteers came forward and Captain Mallett put his son, George, and steward James W. Doane of Barton, N.S. in charge of the lifeboat. Seconds after the "Seamer" disappeared, bow first, the lifeboat picked up eight of the eleven men aboard and brought them hack to the Dighy brig. Capt. Mallett was publicly thanked for his rescue work and as a reward for his heroism was presented with an engraved medal by the United States government. The ~ medal is now in the possession of the captain's son, Mr Roy Mallett of Plympton, N.S. Both James Doane and George Mallett were presented with engraved. 'gold watches by the U.S. government That was long ago. Tomorrow evening at a concert in the Dnipro Hall the Ukrainian Youth Association is honor ing the national poet, Taras Shevchenko, and in St. John's Hall, Bloor street east, the Canadian-Ukrainian Women's Association is presenting a color film, "Treasures of the Ukraine", which was the winner of the honor award the Canadian Film Festival.
