Com,e to think of it, ,.1`he trim
have a lot in common: the Irish
and spring in this country. You
never know, what to expect.
You may be in for a., boiak*
weeping, a hurricane of abuse,
or a blast of 'Pot air, froili-

Perhaps it iS this unpredict-

There's a g,reat deal of myth
in. .the. popular _conception ...of

Irishmen are supposed .to be
bubbling- over with the juiceS
of life. They ,are 3!„ndterstood
to be warmhearted, charMing,
gay. and lively. They're expect-.
ed to besentimental and
quent; generous and devil-may-
varer—And-marly—orthetirliti:
But don't blame me if the
first Irishman you meet' after
reading this is a „ lugubrious,
long -faced,. mOurnful, maaney-
gaubbing,- pleasure -shunning,
nit-picking, self-pitying,' people -
hating type: Some of them are.
,*
'Same with spring in Canada.
If' s supposed to be a day -when
the' blood burbles, when the
young mithers are ,all out with
their new baby -carriages, when
,the sun smiles wildly 'over the
§.cene, when the first tiny flow-
ers poke their dainty head's up,
and the streams,. gurgle with
rapture, and the air smells .and
feels and tastes like champagne.
And sometimes it. is. ,
But chances._ are, on, . the
Tw'enty-fiNI of Spring,, ynu'll,

ous with ice, yOur car won't
start, the ice will stretCh as far
as eye can see on the bay, and
a 'gale that would curdle the
blood of a Laplander is howl-
ing out of the north:
*
However, that's life. And
this.„is my salute to the • Irish;
whom I have loved and Will;
fought with, and laughed at.
And this .is also my salute to

"My* one claim to originality

never made •a speech."
Or Mark Twain: "Give an
