For many years, he preached and taught Christianity throughout Ireland, built churches, organized parishes and, they say, performed many miracles.

There are many legends about him, one of which most scholars consider authentic. It tells how in an effort to explain to the Irish the mystery of the Trinity he plucked a shamrock and said the three leaves' Green Valley (Aril.) News represented the three persons of the Trinity and that the stem represented the godhead and was typical of the unity of three in one. Then there's the legend of the snakes. He drove 'em out. Yep.

It came as a rude shock, in the course of a couple of conversations the other day, to learn that some of our Irish friends labor under the misapprehension that St. Patrick was an Irishman-born, and that some of our younger friends didn't even know he drove the snakes out of Ireland! Faith, begorra and Saints preserve us! Therefore, choking down an impulse to continue in the fine' brogue (that's an accent, not a shoe) of the Auld Sod, we'll discuss matter, thusly: St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, but he was born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, Scotland, in the year 387. Exact date of his birth is debated, but March 17, 493, was the date of his death and it is that anniversary which is celebrated each year. His father was Calphurnius, a member of a Roman family of high rank who held the office of Decurio in those parts.

However, when Patrick was 16 he was captured by Irish marauders and sold as a slave to a chieftain. During his six years of servitude before he escaped, he learned to speak the Celtic language which was one of the reasons why, after nearly two decades of religious preparation on the continent, he was commissioned by Pope Celestine to work in Ireland. Along in the summer of 433, he landed at the mouth of the Vantry Frances Drake Gives Your HOROSCOPE -Banished 'em all that is, except one old serpent which refused to leave. So St. Patrick built a box and invited the old snake to live in it.

According to the story, the snake argued that it wasn't big enough to be comfortable. After considerable debate, the serpent finally agreed to get into i box just to prove it was tooj small. Sure and as soon as the old serpent was inside, St. Patrick shut the lid and threw it into the sea. There's a moral there somewhere and you can think about it all the way to the St.

Patrick's Day parade! Look in the section in which your birthday comes and find what your outlook is, according to the stars, (Morning Advocate) DAILY- CROSSWORD DID YOU SEE the bumper sticker that reads, "College used to be fun. Now it's a riot THESE TWO characters came drifting into the office of the Old Scribbler on the Great Day, one with a package in his sweaty little hands. It was with considerable misgiving that we opened the package, figuring anything from a snake to a firecracker could be inside, knowing those two. Instead, it was a gift, a pleasant surprise'. The Scribbler now has a white and green hat with a large green shamrock up front for use in parading about when another Great Day arrives thanks to Johnny Lambousy and Robert "Brudder" Cart.

THE GOLFING preacher of Crowley was overheard to remark to a friend the other day, "l's peculiar how a dollar can look so big when it goes for church and so small when it goes for groceries." "ANOTHER DAY" is a column written by Don Streater which appears in the Beaumont Enterprise. This week he devoted one of his columns to a former Crowley resident as follows: "Hazel Dare Wilder, the musical prodigy who has recently been discovered at Crowley, will sing in Beaumont Tuesday at the Woman's Reading Club in a benefit performance. Interested people are trying to help Mrs. Wilder secure enough money through concert engagements to study in New York under the best masters. The story of Hazel Dare Wilder reads like a romance, and it is.

She is 24 years old, and so pretty that Howard Chandler Christy asked permission to sketch her when she appeared in New Orleans in concert. She has had no musical education at all from the Enterprise, March 18, 1921. "HAZEL DARE WILDER was a singing sensation of the Southland, and if I were Better informed, I could tell you what happened to her career in later years, whether she persued it to some pinnacle of success or became content with life in Crowley. "As I recall, she was the wife of a Crowley rice farmer. While attending to her wifely duties about the house, she began singing along with the Galli-Curci records on her phonograph, and seemed to imitate the diva with little trouble.

"HER FRIENDS and neighbors were quite amazed and at their urging she went to New Orleans and was given an audition before Louisa Tetrazini, the Italian coloratura. "Miss Tetrazini (and I'd venture that chicken Tetrazini was named for this one) was quite impressed, and she arranged an audition before Alessandro Bonci, Chicago Opera Company tenor. He, I too, pronounced Mrs. Wilder's voice phenomenal. "NOW MRS.

WILDER had a voice, an exceptional voice, but an untrained one, and the musical folks will tell you that a voice alone will not quite get the job done. "So here we find her, giving a benefit performance in the Woman's Reading Club, one of many such concerts given in the South to raise money for her musical training. "If I knew how the story came out I would tell you. I am not secretive about such things." ALTHOUGH WE don't have the full particulars of what happened to Hazel Dare Wilder and her fabulous voice in the 50 years that have followed, it is known that she left for New York City and subsequently became the wife of a rather wealthy man there. In more recent years, she appeared in a national magazine that did an article on a grandiose ranch home in Arizona "Where she presided as the owner.

In regard to the singing voice, most of those who remember her are inclined to believe it was never fully developed or trained for professional appearances. Her maiden name, by the by, was Von Eye. MODERN YOUTH has been tried and found wanting everything under the sun. THEN THERE was this Texas rancher who was visiting the small farms in Israel. He advised the Israeli that at his ranch in Texas, he started out at sunup in his automobile and it was sundown before he got to the other side of his land.

To which the Israeli replied, "I had a car like that once, but I got rid of it."
