lenders took Staff Photo Ulster trouble is prejudice RRI Ont Dear Editor Most of the reports and comments on Northern Ireland bear neither sense nor reason nor would they bring to Ulster the peace and tranquility that should prevail among all classes and creeds If the people were to make room for the Grace of God In their hearts they would find out that prejudice was their only and greatest enemy detrimental to both body and soul and keeping minds ill at ease This Is what takes the place of the Grace of God In our hearts if we are not enlightened by a love of God and neighbor Tho No Surrender In Ulster Is a fine example that has kept that part of the world In turmoil and bondage having ac complished nothing outside of separating themselves from God by a life of enmity long before William crossed the So this is Irelands story that is branded religious and political by all those that couldnt care less for its welfare along with the evil element in Britain and in Ulster that seem to glory in their shame It is for the want of religion that has degraded not only Ulster but the world In general in our day Lets hope for tho best and that they will see their folly in time Graham

confirmation was given to the exchange of principalships between Mr Brown and Bruce Macpherson principal of school a conciliatory gesture which has soothed ruffled Erin village tempers Mr Brown was notified he would be replaced as principal of Erin school in the latter part of April because he lacked a degree which Department of Education is necessary for a principal of a school with more than pupils Erin organizations and residents reacted strongly with some extremely blunt criticism of the boards action Now the board has arranged the transfer so Mr Macpherson who has the required degree can switch to Erin school with its students Mr Brown meanwhile who has not sufficient credits yet can go to school which has only students and is not affected by the Departmental regulation Mr Brown
