Father O'Rourke Relates Qualities of the Irish It was real "Irish Night" that With reference' to the "Irish Clinton Lions celebrated at their brogue", many people look down semi-monthly meeting last week. Most of the members were "wearin' the green", and the ladies of St. Paul's Church very appropriately served Irish stew for the occasion. Green seemed to be the predominant colour everywhere; the songs were Irish; in fact, everything seemed to have a bit of St. Patrick about it. Members present numbered 41, and guests, seven. • Bert Boyes sang "My Wild Irish Rose", and he and John Parker ably rendered a duett: "Irish Eyes are Smiling," Mrs. W. E. Perdue was at the piano. President Lorne Brown opened the meeting, and then handed over proceedings to W. E. Perdue, from Ireland away back, The latter referred to some of the great Irishmen of history—George ,Bernard Shaw, Viscount Mont- gomery and Earl Alexander. Antoine "Red" Garon, .who described himself as a Frenchman born on St, Patrick's Day, March 17, introduced the guest speaker, Rev. Father J. L, O'Rourke, born in Dublin (Ontario) and educated at St. Peter's Seminary, London. Father O'Rourke Father O'Rourke declared that the . Lions had "learned to live outside themselves." He him- self wanted, at all times, to be freeto be called upon to help out in the community. He would like to stress the debt the world owes to the Irish race, With respect to noble literature, melodies at;d songs, and the arts of the silver and goldsmith. Father O'Rourke reminded his audience that the Irish had evane gelized and civilized Europe In the early days, and that the cul,. Lure of the Irish race had left a deep imprint on the history of Europe and the world, The Irish had been foremost in the !riven - thin of rhyme in poetry, and in educational facilities, as St. Brid gid had been credited with bring- ing in education for women. "Ireland again is giving effect to her taients, he said.

The speaker said that one thing opposed to Irish development was the clan system, which did not produce "fighters" as in other races. Irish womanhood had done a great social wtrrk throughout the world. The Irish had in- spired others in literature and art. "You can see that Ireland had a mission in the history of the world," Father O'Rourke declar- ed, "in art and science, rhyme and poetry, and relief to suffer- ing mankind. If not physically, at least mentally, we should take a bow to the Irish •race.'• The speaker was thanked in behalf of the Club by Mr, Perdue. Frank Fingland, QC., led in a discussion of arena facilities and artificial ice in Clinton, when it was decided to investigate thor- oughly the possibilities. Father O'Rourke made the draw of an Irish figurine which was won by R. B. Campbell.

Mayor Nott reported that the deputation from Council had done everything it could toward the housing situation, and hadn't had a very satisfactory answer back. It had been mentioned in Toronto that 5,000 population was the lim- it, but one member had spoken up and had said that there could be exceptions. "We feel we've extended our- selves and done everything we could do. I don't think we've left a stone unturned' in the hewing situation," the . Mayor declared, Aid. Winter thought the pres- sure should be at Ottawa. "If Clinton doesn't do something, then we don't get anything," he summarized. Request for Grant The Chamber of Commerce's request for a grant was termed by Aut Agnew as "more or less nebulous", and suggested the de- tail be left in the hands of the Finance Committee which might explore the possibilities, Ald. S. W. Gliddon felt the Chamber was doing good work and should get some help. a Mayor Nott remarked that Council and Public Utilities Com- mission were working harmon- iously together again, (DO Teacher Introduces New Method Of Current Affairs Study Miss Jane Hildebrand, English specialist, Clinton District Colleg- iate Institute, hes introduced a new method of classroom study for her students with the use of TIME, The Weekly Newsntagaz- ine, as the basis for current af- fairs discussion, according to an announcement from the Director of.

Dr. Charles Thompson will ex- amine for defective eyesight and hearing. Provision for defective speech cases — those not caused by mental retardation—will be a new feature this year. Miss C. McGowan is represent- ing the Society on the committee, The need for foster homes is becoming emphasized by the So- ciety, and an appeal is being made for these. Children who, for various rea- sons, are not adoptable, create a problem. They must be placed in well-chosen foster homes, which must have both parents, love, happiness, and security, with an adequate standard of liv- ing. Foster parents receive 818 a month, and the society assumes full responsibility for all medical, dental, and clothing requirements. Last year, the , society super- vised 178 children in their own homes se thatw they would not have to become wards. There were 32 unmarried mothers who looked to the society for protec- tion and care of their babies. Sixteen children were iilaced for adoption. COMING EVENTS Horne -made baking. Candy.

The articles are supplied by the CDC I Board. The important role played by Science and agriculture today Is recognized by all too few of us.

In lower and middle school science classes, six students are crowded at a table intended to seat only four. These eornditions are not _conducive to good re- sults, particularly in June! Ideally, the agriculture room should be behind the shop room, with a Store roam between. This would economize in space as well as facilitate access to tools need- ed for both classes, The agriculture class here is hi dire need of storage space. There i5 insufficient farming and gar- dening equipment, not because of the cost of rakes, hoes, and shovels, but because there Is no space he which to keep extra supplies. In the lower grades especially, the students Are unable to earry Mit their own experitneints, be- cause the space is not sufficient.
