George Brophy, a gra uate of McMaster University, now a lawyer, N Lucknow, was introduced by Marion Zinn and presented a paper in the. form of an address to the jury. Tracing the history of the Irish immigrants from the days of the potato famine and absentee landlords in Ireland, he described, quoting actual diaries and letters, the horrific conditions .which existed at that time. To escape starvation, plague and the bloodshed engendered by family feuds, religious controversy and secret societies an exodus to North America began in the mid 1840's. However, in order to reach the New World, said Mr. Brophy, the sea journey had,flrst4s be accomplished. By sailing ship, antiwally travelling steerage, the immigrants were faced with further hazards, appalling ndi-- tions as far as accommodation was, concern- ed, and the natural hazards of a sea voyage which at times took is long as ten weeks. Nevertheless, the number of immigrants increased, and confirmed to do so over a period of the next hundred years. Unfor- tunately, many undermined by the depreda- tions of their previous life style did not survive the journeys. Hard'shlp was scarcely less on arrival, and outbreaks of cholera and smallpox further decimated the numbers who reach the' new land- For those who did survive, they arrived at a time of industrial growth, and to a large extentp the Irish immigrants provided the labour force required to implement it.. Settlement in the prairies presented prob- lems as the immigrants did not adapt to the wide open spaces and isolation. They were gregarious and therefore tended to abandon the rural life for that of the urban areas. In retrospect, Mr. Brophy pointed out, the personality, determination and resourceful- ness of the Irish character contributed some outstanding figures, descendants of whom were major contributors in today s world, and he quoted Ronald Reagan, a Kennedy family and Brian Mulron By 1919 an example of the way in which they had maintained their links with the old country and its political developments was demon- strated when Eammon de Valera, leader of the Sinn Fein movement, was received and welcomed in the United States.

Combining television watching with a Catholic education, Father Hawker said certain realities have to be acknowledged. One such reality is based on TV advertising. particularly what the Boston priest calls 'Saturday morning" commercials. Aimed at children, these commercials can make "materialistic consumers" out of them, but Father Hawker said, a sense of the simplicity of life or spiritual poverty should be "Then they (students) come to know the emphasized. metlium," said Father Hawker.

He was speaking at St. Boniface separate school in Zurich to Huron and Perth separate school teachers plus parents, nuns and members of the clergy.
