The timil'upl'iail'dl was made, the contract ml, and under the circum- stances we think it would be well to again appeal to the Government to have the building erected. We know the building program was stooped for a time, and it isn‘t at all likely the Government wilt force it on us. Would it not be well, as a citizen suggested a few days ago, to petition the. Government to again consider the matter and have the building erected as early as possible? The Council is not enthusiastic in the matter, and apart from pre- eleetion taik, there is absolutely nothing done In any event it would be well to revive the agita- l-lOll and learn where we stand. and unv-had‘ inches deep in z: :n.c«-liuxnâ€"sizm_i two to two inches «keep :11 an whim- one.

IRELAND’S PATRON SAINT According; to int’mnnntion before us. 5:. Patrick, the apostle of [11?ij was born about 396 in the British Roman l’rox'ince of \‘elentia. probab- ly at. Nemthur. where Dumbarton now is. The father. a deeurian in the Roman army. retired from a farm on the Solway whence. at. the age of sixteen. Patrick was carried 011‘ by a band of maramlers and sold as a slave to the Irish Piets of Count}- Antrim. After six years he made his escape and. resolving to devote himself to the conversion of Ireland, prepared himself for the priesthood, probably at the monastic institution founded by St. Ninian in Galloway. Having been ordained a bishOp, and received the papa} benediction from Celestine 1.. he went over to Ireland about the year 432. Here he is said to have founded over three hundred and sixty churches, baptized more than twelve thousand persons, and ordained a great number of priests. He is said to have died about 469 at DURHAM CHRONICLE place called Saul, near DOWnpat- Thursday, March 20, 1924. A Impound buy was hat-n m an ()gqlvnsbm'g, I\. \'.. woman cm Wed- nesday.
