Patrick, the patron saint who
brought Christianity to Ireland,
was born on Britain's west coast
about the year 389, When he was
sixteen, he was captured by
pirates and enslaved on the
northeast coast of Ireland. Six
years later he escaped to a
monastery in France.
Eventually he returned to the
land of his imprisonment as a
missionary. No blood was shed,
no martyrs made, in the con-
version of Ireland. St. Patrick
died on March 17, supposedly in
the year 460.
As St. Patrick's Day draws
near in the twentieth century, we
think of the Emerald Isle, the
wearing of the green, the "luck o'
the Irish," the shamrock, the
Blarney Stone, and the sprightly
leprechauns.
In the spirit of the season, I
have been reading a book of short
stories by Irish authors. The
introduction mentions the
"peculiar magic" each of the
selections possesses.
Indeed most of the stories I
have read thus far contain a note
of magic. But I notice other traits
as well , patriotism, religion,
conflict. dphrdses such as "the
martyr's crown" and "English
treachery" appear.
The distinctions between the
Protestants and the Catholics are
sharply defined and often
repeated. One passage includes a
poem that definitely reflects the
mood:
"Wail, wail him through the
`island, weep, weep for our pride
Would that on the battle field our
gallant chief had died,"
TlieRepublic of Ireland and the
* six counties of Northern Ireland
share a long history, full of
sunlight and shadows. For
hundreds of years, Ireland or
Eire, as it is sometimes called,
was a captive land.
First she was invaded by
Scandinavian vikings; later she
was ruled by English kings and

queens. Her native people
struggled to free her and passed
the battle down from one
generation to the next,
In the sixteenth century during
Queen Elizabeth's reign, a legend
evolved concerning the Blarney
Castle. Her Majesty requested
that Desmond McCarthy
surrender his castle. McCarthy
promised to comply. As a sign of
his good intentions, he sent the
Queen a bit of the Blarney stone.
Queen Elizabeth twice
repeated her request. Each time
she received the same reply,
Finally she exclaimed to her
messenger, "He's not giving you
the castle; he's giving you the
Blarney!"
Not until 1922 did Ireland gain
independence. Six counties of the
northern province of Ulster,
however, declined joining
National Ireland. Instead they
were granted a parliament and a
government of their own, under
the Imperial Parliament of Great
Britain.
By JOANNE McGARRY
Although it is just a month
since the Robert Clarke family
moved into 484 Carling Street,
Exeter, they are not strangers to
Exeter.
Eleanor Clarke has done her
shopping here for four years, and
her father peddled apples from
Forest into Exeter in the 1930's.
He is still a keen reader of local
newspapers.
Her husband, Robert, is now a
Drum Major stationed in London,
MRS. ELEANOR CLARKE
and has been with the Canadian
Armed Forces for 17 years.
Because of this, the family has
made several moves in his tour of
duty. They were living in Ger-
many when their two eldest
children, Christine and Michael
were born. A third child, Dougie,
was born here,
Because they lived in Huron
Park for the last four years, most
of their activities are still cen-
tred there, where the children
still attend school. Mrs.Clarke
was involved with a Brownie
pack.
This "partition" displeased
members of the Republic of
Ireland as well as some residents
of Northern Ireland,
The headlines in our
newspapers and the reports on
radio and TV verify that strife
still rages in Northern Ireland.
Recently I watched a TV
documentary featuring an Ulster
housewife who alwayS carries a
first aid kit in her shopping bag.
She explained, "We never know
when we'll need it." Her Irish
eyes weren't smiling. Instead
they mirrored a lifetime of
conflict.
This morning I found a St,
Patrick's Day greeting card. On
its green cover was engraved the
following sentence; "Ireland is
the land of love, legends, and
laughter". Then a vision flashed
through my mind - a vision of
armoured tanks and soldiers, of
gutted buildings and stretchers
bearing multilated bodies,
Ironic, isn't it?
She is also a supply teacher,
although renovations in her new
home have taken up most of her
time lately. She does hope,
however, to return to work.
She hasn't met too many people
in Exeter yet, but expects she will
when her children begin school
here next fall.
