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.

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.
