THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THL1 3DAY, MARCH 11th, 1937 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U. S. A. "Vox Nostrae Scholae" St. David's Day and St. Patrick'. Day both occur in March; the former on the first day of the month, latter on the seventeenth, it is probable that St. Patrick's is the better-known of the two. St. David is the Patron Saint of - Wales. Very little is known about him. He lived, so it is thought, during the sixth century; and was the son of a Prince. His chief work was perform-.-';.ed in the south of Wales, where he • founded many churches. After death he became famous and his tomb 'attracted many pilgrims. • ' The Welsh Saint has not become i 'known throughout the world as has the more aggressive patron of Ireland. Nevertheless the Welsh cele- .brate the first of March with a fer-r your which finds its outlet in soug CARNIVAL A SUCCESS The masquerade carnival sponsored by Colborne Ronk Committee Wednesday evening, was largely attended. Many were in costume, and the exhibition of fancy skating by members of Quinte Skating Club of Belleville, was enjoyed by all. The broom ball game was exciting, the lean boys winning over their weigthy opposition. Many prizes were awarded. A imiplete list will be given next week. Senator Iva C. Fallis PERSONAL ,v St. Patrick has been made famous , by the wandering Irish who have carried the is'tory of their Saint to all parts of the world and told it with irresistible eloquence. Naturally, be-- ing Irish, they have mingled much fancy with the bare facts. Strangely enough, St. Patrick is . supposed to have been born in Wales. , . A. band of Irish pirates descended on the district and carried him off. At that time he was about sixteen years -of age. He lived as a slave in Ireland, i hearding the cattle for his master. , .His captivity was lightened by his ^.religious feeling and divine revelation ss' said to have aided his escape from his Irish captors. We next hear of .him in a monastery in Europe. After -'having spent a few years there, he i-returned to Britain, and there, in a dream, received the idea of attempt-j ing the conversion of Ireland. To pre-1 pare himself for his mission Patrick returned to Gaul and spent fourteen , years in study. Then he went to Ire-' land. Ireland at that time was organized j in the clan system, and to gain sue-; cess it was necessary to win the 'friendship and support of the leaders j 'of the clans. His chief opposition I came from the Druids who held a' •strong position in the court of thej King. Patrick finally won protection , and toleration for his faith from the King although the latter did not. himself became a Christian. Patrick's chief work was the organization of the Christian Church in the south of Ireland, and the westward extension of that faith. A few years before his vl: death he made one of, his followers j Pr' Bishop in his stead and retired to a j ra life of peace and contemplation. , ett A Valuable Booklet Copies of the 1937 issue of Agricultural Situation and Outlook may now be obtained from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Otta-free on request.
