Staff Photo The Irish (Continued from Page 4) lived for seven years, acquiring a knowledge of the Irish language, as well as their manners, habits and customs. St. Patrick eventually escaped from captivity and after many ad ventures reached the Continent, where he was successfully ordained deacon, priest and bishop. With the authority of Pope Celestine, St. Patrick, once more, returned to Ireland, to preach the gospel to its then heathen inhabitants. The history of St. Patrick’s Day is mostly legendary history. Prob ably the most famous fete associ ated with St. Patrick was his driv ing the snakes out of Ireland. One of the better known of all the legends dealing with St. Pat rick, is how he was responsible for the Shamrock becoming the famil iar Irish emblem. The legend, which has been re counted in the famous Rust Craft “Legend Series” of greeting cards, reads: “Long ago, when Ireland was the land of the Druids, there was a great Bishop, Patrick, by name, who came to teach the word of God throughout the country. “This Saint, for he was indeed a saint, was well-loved everywhere he went. One day, however, a group or his followers came to him and admitted that it was difficult for them to believe in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. “St. Patrick reflected a moment and then stooping down he plucked a leaf from the Shamrock and held it before them, bidding them to be ho’d the living example of this ‘three-in-one.’ “The simple beauty of this ex planation convinced these skeptics and from that day the shamrock has been revered throughout Ire land.’’ Today, on the 17th of March, wherever true Sons of Erin gather, the Shamrock is proudly worn as a symbol of the faith that is . . . Ireland. Naval Station Births H»»»»»»HWWW******* A son, John Arnold, weighing 7 lbs. 9 ozs., was born on March 8 Lo Beverly and Arnold Emery, RMS, US'N.

All About Babies (Continued from Page 2) EDITOR’S NOTE; The Medical Committee of the National Baby Care Council recommends that home lanudering of diapers in clude three pre-rinses, four sep arate sudsings, six hot water rinses to remove all soap, boiling for 30 minutes to sterilize the diapers, a vinegar-water rinse to reduce alka line content and treatment with a special diaper antiseptic. If a mother uses professional diaper service she is assured baby’s dia pers are processed scientifically using all the mandatory steps un der strict laboratory control. The use of powders and oint ments is of secondary importance. Silicone-containing ointments are of limited value in preventing dia per rash and are of no value in treatment. Erythematous (in flamed) rashes can be treated with cornstarch or a mild powder to absorb some moisture. Very dry diaper rashes should be treated with a mild lubricant such as pe troleum jelly. In weeping, noninfected rashes, powders and ointment should be avoided. Judicious use of soap and water to keep the area clean, ex posing the area to air, and the use of mild, dry heat are of value. Infected diaper rashes should be treated with non-sensitizing an tibiotic ointments prescribed by a physician. rTTTTTTTTTTrT Griffin Memorial Hospital Notes BIRTHS A son, Francis Simeon, weighing 10 lbs. 2 ozs., was born on March 12 to Alice and Budd Fadaoff.
