The Goderich Home Bakery
Announcement
As my physical strength is not equal to the task I
had undertaken in managing the Home Bakery, I am
compelled to retire from it.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank my many
patrons most heartily for their generous support while
in this business, and I can assure the people of Goderich
that they will rather profit by this change, as my suc-
cessor is an all-round practical baker, who will in his
bread and pastry give the public a product second to.
none.
1 feel sure that the Home Bakery under the man-
agement of Mr. P. Henderson will be an attraction to all
those seeking a pure and wholesome food -product.
With the best wishes of the season, We remain,
The retiring Manager
Williiam Ahl
The new Manager
P. Henderson
'Helium Irelaud proceeds with re-
markable speed. The street letter
bones ut Dublin are now painted a
dark green, and the very warning 110 -
lice.. un • fresh and smeary coat are
is the. Garlic characters. The streets
of Ireland's metropolis are now re-
named bilingually.
Suppose you want to call at the
headquarters of the Irish Provisional
Government, and that you want the
Ministry of Local Affairs. A zealous
and dutiful' policeman will correct
you sternly when you ask his guid-
ance. What you really .want, it
serma, i. the •'ltialtas Sealadacb nab
t:ireann," and the department you
seek is the "Alreach4 Um Rialtaa
Aitluil."
"Where shall I land its' you''ask
the utlicer feeble.
"In Sraid ithuirbtheon Each,"
snaps the blue -coated Gael. And this
Irish stroke a hinder person further
along translates for you as "Upper
Merrion Street."
Men's names are likewise queerly
transformed. as we all remember
from the signatures of the five pleni-
potentiaries on the historic peace
pact of December, 1921. Thus Mr.
Ernest Blythe. the Finance Minister,
signs himself "Earnan de Biagi." I
defy any man living—other than a
Garlic scholar—to decipher the sig-
nature of Mr. George Cavan Duffy,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who
preceded the present holder of that
portfolio, Desmond Fits -Gerald.
The new Irish Parliament is known
as "An Dail," or the Assembly. To
gain admission to a session you must
procure a "Timid Cuairtvora," or
vWtor's, voucher. Members of the
Congress are known as "Teachtal," or
delegates. The Speaker calls the roll
in Gaelic. And a fluent lrlab "T.D."
like the late Cathal Brugba (Charles
Burgess) drove home to non-Gael{d-
speakfng Deputies their neglect of
the native tongue. ' '
"I know perfectly well (1 beard
the sturdy Cathal cry from his red
•seat in the crowded Chamber) that
the two gentlemen who have preced-
ed me (Arthur Griffith and Kelvla
O'Higgins) do not understand their
own language. 8o 1 will now Speak
to them In the language tbey do
understand!" Apd therewith the rs.-
pebllcaa stalwart dropped Into the
fhtasenach tongue, which is all too
familiar In "An Dail."
Wb . you turn in Ireland to-
day you are confronted with the Irish
language. There are (meters and pro-
clamations la Gaelic on the walls and
hoardings. Tbere are names sad
signs over tbe 'bops and in the win-
dows; there are articles In Irish In
the newspapers, and special literary
and political journals are published.
Even the famous John Bull is now
referred to as "Sean Buldh." And,
worst of all, Dublin herself is become
"Belle Ath-Cllath," or the city of the
Ford of the Hurdles. Tbe ancient
name is now revived from the second
century A.D., before "Dubb-(inn"
(the Town of the Black Pool) was
even a village, with • crossing con-
trived over the boggy stream of the
Liffey.
This passion for ebaaging names
is fraught with confusion for return-
ed exiles and visitors generally. Thus
Sackville ,Street—of tragic 1916
memory—fs now O'Connell street.
Rutland Square has been renamed at -
ter Parnell. The great ocean Port of
Queenstown is altered to Cobh; and
the unwary may lose the mall steam-
er for Holyhead through ignorance
of the fact that Kingstown is now
known as "Dun Laoghaire." .
No civil servant can hope for a job
or for promotion who cannot speak
and write the Irish language. This
is especially the ease in the new na-
tion's post office, arhere I saw old men
messengers and doorkeepers poring
over Irish primers while they sat
waiting for orders.
Then the aelic League Is a power -
hal force in�this Irlsh process. its
activities a tend to the fostering of
Gaelic plays and books, all the way
from nursery rhymes to fat diction-
aries. The league takes charge of the
dancing •section of Aonach Tailtean,
or the National Festival of Games.
Even opera In Irlah Is an accom-
plished fact. Dr. Robert O'Dwyer,
the Dublin Corporation Professor of
Irish Music at the National Unlver-
sity, produced a beautiful and ela-
borate work by subscription. And
now Mr. Vincent O'Brien has just
given • series of performances of
"Maolle," a new opera in Gaelic
which won the first prisa in the
Gaelic League (Connradh na Geed -
bilge) contest of 1920.
The hashing of Ireland may be
awkward for visitors; for the pub-
lishers of guide books. too. and even
for natives who have grown up with
no knowledge of Gaelic at all. But it
remains • thing of vital energy In
the new surge of nationhood—as tbe
Poles found, and the Csechs, Alas-
thins
lardans and Finns, as well as the Boers
of South Africa, the Italians of the
Dalmatian coast, the Roumanians of
Transylvania and many more.
Irish is an older language than any
of these; a queaektess racial factor
and focus.
A purely 1Nsh ireland, the new
Government feels, can only be achiev-
ed by restoring it purely Gaelic civi-
lisation, alike on the cultural and
material sides. Thus the new Irish
trade -mark is an Invitation to all to
"support Industries," even where
stuffs and goods cost a good deal
mere than the Imported article.
"Irish Week" In the city shops Is
as orate of 'nationalisation. blessed
by the Roman Catholic and Proter
tth►ant hterarcbies alike, as well as cos-
ataadod by such outstanding figures
as the late Arthur Griffith, Michael
Collins mid Moa McKeown, Sha
alaeksmltk of $slpaal e.
AMID the joys and sorrows that surround
our lives at this season of the year, we
wish you all
A Merry Cr:stmas
