St. Patrick, put ton suint of Ire
land, was born about the year
387. There is considerable doubt
as to the place of his nutivity. The
best authority is Hrittuny, France.
When Hi years of age some Irish
Celts raided his nutive town and
he wus curried away as u slave to
Irelond, where he served as shep
herd for years. Later he returned
to relatives and home.
* * *
He entered the priesthood. Lat
er he was consecrated bishop and
received his mission to Ireland
from Pope Celestine in the year
431. St. Patrick founded many
churches and religious houses. Ik-
died at the age of 120 years.

Three Ash landers
Are Liberated in
The Philippines
Good News Com«* to Local
Relative* in First Word
From Loved One*
Among the names listed the
pust week by the War Depart
ment of those liberated in the
Philipines were those of Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney S. Bartlett and Theo
dore L. Ryall. Very little had
been heard from the three in the
time since the fall of the Philip
pines to the enemy and the an
nouncement by the War Depart
ment was the first official word
that had been received for a long
time.
Mrs. Bartlett is the daughter of
Mrs. C. L. Glaze of Ashland. Mrs
Glaze had had one short letter
from her daughter after the fall
of the Philippines, evidently dic
tated, in which she said that she
was a prisoner, and told of some
of the hardships they were under
going, and stating that she was
doing some of the work in the
place where they were held and
that he husband was working
on the roads.
Mr .and Mrs. Bartlett were liv
ing in Manila when war started.
He was a mining engineer and
had lived there for a number of
years. Mrs. Bartlett had just re
turned to Manila from a visit
here when the war started.
The third of those listed by the
War Department is Theodore L.
Ryall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo
dore K. Ryall, of Route 2, Ash
land. The son was a prisoner of
war captured at Bataan and was
known to have been confined in
the Santo Tomas, barracks. One
brief message hade been received
from him, but was a long time
ago and as none of the home folks
letters were answered or acknow
ledged, it was thought that he
had died.
Ashland residents will rejoice
with the parents in the release of
these former Ashland residents.

Easter Program Is
Planned by Choirs
Farmers Discuss
Co-Operatives at
The UNITED CHOIRS of the
churches of Ashland are rehears Tuesday Meeting
ing each Thursday night. The
members are working with en
thusiasm on as fine a program of
Easter music as they have ever
done. Under the capable leader

a brilliant rendition of the whole.
It is a fine tradition that the
Ashland Churches are building

high standards in music and per-

program an institution of which
Ashland citizens may well be
proud.
It is quite necessary that all be
