The divisions of hatred_ now being engendered by this terror, and all under the guise of civil rights, social justice and unification, will most certainly take generations to erase, if it ever can be.

Yours sincerely D. Bryant, Edmonton. The writer's novels include "The Straight and Narrow Path. BY HONOR TRACY ACHILL SOUND, Ireland—The English are wrong in thinking the Irish have no humour. They are the most humorous people alive— unconsciously. A recent example of this was offered by the family of Mr, Cahill, the IRA leader. No sooner was he off to America to put the bite on absentee patriots there, than Mrs. Cahill, mother of seven, applied for public assistance. In other words, while he was striving to kill the goose— and "goose" is about it—she was claiming a share of the golden eggs. No one appeared to find this strange. Consider the case of little Angela. One IRA spokesman brushed off her death as a hazard of war; then, hurriedly, another described it as a deliberate attempt to discredit the IRA itself. Some tool of British imperialism, evidently, had fired on the soldier in the fiendish prescience that the bullet would miss him and ricochet, killing a Catholic baby, Or take the Charge that the British troops are biased, This was brought shortly after they arrived, when they actually started searching Catholic as well as Protestant houses for arms—and finding them. For' those unfamiliar with the IRA vocabulary, "impartial" means being 100 per cent on the IRA Side, Now that belief has spread through the Catholic Community at large, and there may even be some truth in it. Leaving aside the murders and woundings, day in day out tit: iroops are bombed, stoned, pelted with feces and BY PATTY PROCTOR Meeting two was held at the school on Feb. 29 at 7:00. Our meeting was called to order by saying a name for the club for the roll call. Out of all the suggestions, we liked Sleeping Tinkerbells. Then we split up into three small groups. The leaders helped us pin and cut our material. Our home assignment for the next week was to get our material ready. Meeting three was held at the school on March 8. Our meeting was called to order by stating why we chose our pattern and material. Some said they liked it while others said it was their favourite colour. Mrs. Divok explained to us that there would be two meetings held in one week so that half of the club would go Tuesday and the other half on. Wednesday. Then we split up into two groups. Mrs. Divok and Mrs. Dagliesh showed us how to gather, staystitch and do ordinary seams. Our home assignment was to do five samples and our record book. 411.1111.11111111 1/1 other filth, abused and insulted, by Catholics not Protestants. Curiously enough, they do not find this behaviour endearing. Other aspects of the case, viewed from this side of the border, are indeed mysterious. We hear ad nauseam that our suffering fellow-Catholics are debarred from a share in the administration, Next comes a gleeful announcement that in numerous towns the administration is tottering, thanks to a Catholic walkout. Catholics are seldom, we understand, alloted council houses; but then follows a long list of Catholic housing estates where the tenants refuse to pay rent. It is difficult, too, to see why Catholics who find life in the North intolerable should not emigrate to the Republic at once, without waiting for the border to disappear. The government could not refuse to take them in. True, they would probably not find work or a house and they would certainly experience a sad drop in social benefits as well as a steep rise in the cost of living; but to a patriot these things are surely trifles. A happy solution has been found, according to an American anthropologist recently in Belfast, by some of the "refugees," where wives remain in the south as guests while husbands go back north to collect the dole, Another mystery is just how many Catholics really want the border abolished. As so often in Ireland, views expressed in public are completely at variance with private opinion. To read the papers, one would think the entire Catholic community was aching for this to happen; but one constantly hears it said that, could a secret poll be taken, secure from intimidation by the IRA, 95 per cent at least would vote for the status quo, The greatest tnystery of all is why the English continue to bear this expensive and thankless burden, They must be aware that northern "loyalty" is a simple matter of cupboard love. The Republic's press keeps on anti on, like a record that has stuck, about "British imperialism," but British imperialism is as dead as mutton. Meanwhile, the hideous business drags on. The poet Louis MacHeice ()wee described Belfast, his native city, as "a bitch and a bore." He spoke in a relatively peaceful time. 'the mind boggles at what, if still alive, he would call her today. Bright sunshine was meeting the snow on the outside, but green was everywhere in evidence on the inside on Saturday, March 11 when the Madeleine Lane Auxiliary of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church welcomed friends to their St. Patrick's Tea.
