When we think of Ireland, our thoughts turn to the many wonderful ballads, picturing the beauties of that land across the sea, with its hills and green meadows; its lakes and streams: its castles and little cottages; its two-wheel pony carts: the patriarchs with their clay pipes and the shillelaghs; the happy, young folks dancing to the music of accordion, violin or bagpipe. We can envision a happy, free people in a beautiful land.
In this country are many loyal citizens who still love the "auld sod" from which they came, and on St. Patrick's Day they turn out by thousands to sing, dance and parade in a great joyous celebration, in the wearing of the green. Woe be unto anyone who appears in even an orange necktie it must be green. Erin go braugh!
