Welsh Honor Saint On St. David's Day For Welshmen in Canada, living far from the mountains, valleys and castles of their original home- land, March 1 is a day to mark well. It-is St. David's Day when every good Welshman will either wear a daffodil or a leek to honor his patron saint. According to the Welsh (and who would dare contradict?), the first daffodil to bloom naturally each year in Wales blooms on St. David's Day. The leek -- a distant relative, of the Daffodil -- was first worn by the Welsh on the advice of St. David to distinguish them- selves from the enemy in a seventh Century battle against the Saxons. David is believed to have been} son of a Welsh prince and was one of the first Welsh bishops, founder of over 500 churches and a cathe- dral. Legend (Wales is a land of numerous legends) has it that -he was_born about 500 A.D. and lived for 147 years. David was made a saint in 1120 by Pope Calixtus II, persuaded by the Norman. king of England who found the Welsh reluctant sub- jects, The Welsh -- with typical scepticism -- accepted the saint but continued fighting the English for centuries until a Tudor king with Welsh blood sat on the throne in London. St. David's Day is a day for all Welshmen and all Canadians to think of the beauties and wild gran- deur of Wales' tumbled mountains and.lovely coastline. It's a day to sing the magnificent and moving anthem "Land of My Fathers". Kiwanis Carnival (Continued From Page One) members of the Kiwanis, ably as- sisted by girls from Cobalt High School.
