We thought at first that this very noticeable showing of friendship on the part of the people of Dundalk and vicinity was the aftermath of that "old home" spirit engendered by the big re-union during the summer of 1931; but no, a visit to Flesherton brought out the fact that the people of that village are just as friendly without having the memory of an "old home" week as a reminder. In fact, we were very conscious of the greetings received at Flesherton; re- ceiving smiles and salutations from many whom we have never seen be- fore and may never see again. And agam, strangers who have arrived in Dundalk since we left the old town are seemingly embue'l with the pres- ent-day change. Eve -/body spoke to us and made us feel at "home"' in old home scenes."
