'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, February 20,1963 25 Modern Buildings Irk Old Dubliners By CAROL KENNEDY who normally regard their fam- DUBLIN (CP) -- A _ small,jous heritage of Georgian archi- white-bearded Dubliner looking like a shrunken George Bernard Shaw marched angrily at the head of a procession down 18th- century Fitzwilliam Street lead- ing an Irish wolfhound and bearing a mourning wreath. Watched by sightseers and television cameras, the old man laid 'the wreath against the fan- lighted door of one of the ter- raced houses, then turned and) launched a tirade at the crowd "These vandals . . . how can they do it?" he cried, his voice almost breaking. "It's like put- ting a cromium ~ plated frame round an 18th . century paint- ing." The cause of the demonstra- tion--one of many these days-- is providing Dublin with iis big- gest talking-point since the Irish Republican Army disbanded last year. The Electricity Supply Board, a government concern, owns a block of Georgian terraced houses in Lower Fitzwilliam Street, part of a splendid vista linking two of Dublin's great residential square s and set against a backdrop of distant purple mountains. Now it wants to tear down) its property and erect a glassy| modern office block in its place.| MOST DON'T CARE Apart from the fact that the board is unpopular with many Dubliners for real or imagined high-handedness -- "they think they're God, absolutely,' said one secretary in disgust -- the proposal has aroused a fierce protective instinct in citizens Injured Pupil Learns Lessons Via Phone Link FORT WILLIAM, Ont. (CP) Ralph Fassman, a Grade 11 stu. dent who broke his thigh in 10 places in a tobogganing acci- dent, is keeping up with his studies through a_ telephone hookup between his hospital reom and school. When it was found that Ralph would be in traction three to four months, Joseph Whatley, the school's electrical instruc-|y tor, rigged up an intercom sys- tem in three classrooms. The telephone company completed the hookup to Ralph's room. The two-way intercom allows the student to hear everything going on in class and to partici. - and - answer|for as ff he were ac-jterraces that ten bie unique among modern capitals. tually present. tecture with apathy, if not out- right boredom. A few, in whom the flame of nationalism still burns fitfully, regard the graceful vistas of 18th-century Dublin as a relic of alien rule; the urbane, cul- tivated Anglo - Irish society of riches, privilege and the neo- classical comedies of Sheridan and Congreve. Their attitude could be summed up as: 'Bring on the hammers." But others feel differently. Five years ago, Desmond Guinness of the Dublin brewing family started the Irish Georg- ian Society to oppose the demo- jlition of what he called "the soul of a city." The hammers then were strik- ing only at the seedier of Dub- lin's Georgian terraces, some of which have been transformed into slun tenements, and most people felt it would be no loss if they came down. But the so- ciety has gained members ra- idy since the Fitzwilliam Street row blew up. It now has 1,200. members, including 150 Americans. | TWIST IN CASTLE "We don't mind being called cranks," said Guinness in a newspaper interview. He thinks jup oddball ways of raising ifunds, such as holding an open- air twist contest in a ruined castle, and is hoping a United States group called the Society for the Preservation of Historic Ireland is going to help in the| © fight to save Fitzwilliam Street. Meanwhile the Dublin house- wife continues to battle in typic-| ally calm fashion with the drafts, sagging floors and dirt-) trapping cornices of her Georg-| | ian home, while her husband copes with the drawbacks of a similarly ancient office up three \flights of steep dark stairs.
