Cbwwi'XlA By Solly Loveless By SHIRLEY STILLWELL St. Patrick, the national saint of Ireland, will again be honored by the Irish people throughout the world. March 17, the date of his death, has Been set aside for com memorating his great life. At the age of 106 years, St. Patrick died in 493 A.D. at Saul, County Down, and was buried at the Chieftain's Fort, about two miles from town. Bishops, priests and laymen gathered from all parts of Ireland around the buri al place of their beloved leader. Especially loyal in their devo tion to St. Patrick are those Irish men who have chosen to make their home in the United States. The first layman's celebration on this day was held under tne auspices of' the Charitable Irish Society of Boston about the mid dle of the 18th Century. Later the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick was organized in Philadelphia and New York to take special note of the anniversary. St. Patrick's Day is observed in New York City also with a special mass and pa rade on Fifth Avenue reviewed by the cardinal and staff of St Patrick's Cathedral. Irish songs such as "When Irish Eyes are Smiling," are played and sung throughout the day much as the caroles at Christmas time. Little children especially revel in pinching anyone who is not wear ing a touch of green. Hey, look out for the bed springs. Famous last words that Miss Eva Burkhalter probably heard when some members of the junior class and the adviser helped her move Her furniture to her new apart ment. "Who wears short shorts?"

Spring is the most welcome oi nil seasons. It is a complete turn- ine noint in anv year. The first bit of sunshine is the most wel come sight a person can see. When a warm summer has finally arrived it is welcome and fishing, swimming and water skiing are in full swing; when fall slowly comes into being it takes some of the joy and speed out of activities mid turns to more thoughtful. thankful forms of fun: when fall changes to winter it doesn't seem large a jump as the other changes, but spring brings about whole new conception in living. It makes last year's problems seem lighter for the time being and puts new hope into all people. Easter, Lent and Mothers Day also add to the inspiration pf this season.
