The fiazftle-Times, Hrppner, Ore., Thursday, March 17, 1977 FIVE
i
with Justine Wratherford
St. Patrick's Day greetings to each reader who has let his-her
smiling? Irish? eyes wander this way. We will be dining at St.
Patrick's Hall tonight hope we see you there.
O'llara declares, "We don't need any of them new-fangled
scales in Ireland. There's an aisy way to weigh a pig without
scales. Get a plank and put it across a stool, then get a big stone.
Put the pig on one end of the plank and the stone on the other end
and shift the plank until they balance. Then you just guess the
weight of the stone, and you've got the weight of the pig."
The early-day Irish here made this a "little bit of Ireland," a
community recognized widely for the "Irish" teams its high
school fielded, for its large and active Ancient Order ol
T About
Hibernians Lodge and for its early and steadily flourishing St.
Patrick's Church.
Right now, under the leadership of our good Irish Mayor Jerry
Sweeney and with guidance from Ireland's own Father John
O'Brien, it is an ideal time to talk up the county's Irish heritage
and spread about Irish charm, maybe laced with a bit of
blarney.
"My son," said the robust Irish millionare, "when I was your
age, I carried water for a gang of bricklayers."
"I'm mighty proud of you, Dad. If it hadn't been for your pluck
and perserverance, I might have had to do something like that
myself."
This particular week I wish Justine had a real Irish ring like
Colleen, Kathleen and Ilene, but it is decidedly non-Irish coming
to America with my grandmother Justine Hamm from
Alsace-Lorraine.
Speaking of names, all the females at the Gazette-Times have
rhyming names Eileen, Sharlene, Janene and Justine.
"Ah, Bridget, how do you like your new boss?
"Oh, he ain't too bad, Sheila only he's kinda bigoted."
"Whadda y'mean, bigoted?"
"Well, he thinks words can only be spelled one way."
After the super Irish Stew dinner at St. Patrick's tonight, the
library is having the last two hours of its book sale. Books and
magazines still on sale tables will go to half-price. There'll be
some real bargains with magazines from two for 5 cents and
books from two for 10 cents on up to a few collectibles at $1.
Remember, book lovers, your last chance for such bargains this
year.
I heard recently that Hazel Bauman is retiring as manager of
the fair buildings. Hazel has been such an important part of the
successful fairs for many years
devoted efforts will be missed.
