2 Ba -- Bes "2588 wu _ " oF adie Pe ARREARS dl WEA THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1932 Parliamentarians Home After a Visit to Bermuda Montreal, May 19--On a boat that carried seven million bananas, and a thousand bags of cocoanuts, the Canadian Parliamentary dele- §ition to Bermuda has arrived in ontreal aboard the Lady Rod- ney. Bronzed from tropical suns the senators and members were willing and anxious to talk about the good time they had, and to prophesy that much trade will deyvzlop as a result of their visit. Headed by Scnator J. P. B, Cas- grain, the party left from New York on the Monarch of Bermuda the last week in April, to attend a discussion in Hamilton between Canadian and Bermuda legislators, which promised to bring future good to the countries represénted by the parliamentarians attending, . Much Accomplished This morning the answer as to whether the trip had been worth while came from Senator Casgrain, leader of the party. "Good time? I should say we did have a good time, And we accom- plished a great deal too. Believe me, a great deal of good will come from this trip." As the big green stems of ban- nanas were coming off the boat both fore and aft, and as the win- ches swung loads of fresh Bermuda vegetables ashore, the members of Parliament and the Senate assem- bled at the boat end of the gang- plank, to go ashore. Some mild criticism of the cus- toms regulations was indulged in by David Spence, blunt-speaking Conservative member from Park- dale, who said: "We have more trouble with our own customs than we did with the American customs or at Bermuda." "You should tell Rychman (Hon, E. B. Rychman, Minister of Na- tional Revenue) about this," some one remarked to Mr. Spence. "Tell him?" he hurled back. "This was to be all arranged." PLAN TO HELP 6,000 CRIPPLES President of Society Out. lines Part of Work Being Done Montreal.--As a result of a re- cent survey undertaken by the Pro- vince of Quebec Society for Crip- pled Children it is expected that more than 6,000 cripples will be aided and many of them restored to the joys of normal existence the Jaciety's president, Douglas Brem- ner, told members of the Kiwanis Club. Of this expected number, 2,500 actual cases are being attend- ed to, 2000 of which are located in the metropolitan area of Mon- treal. There are in addition 722 potential cripples from infantile | paralysis contracted in last fall's epidemic. Seven hundred children are attending clinics and are sup- plied with braces, splints, etc, without charge. Exhaustive surveys show that causes of crippling, due to disease, represent 69 per cent of the total; congenital disorders account for 25 per cent: accidents only four per cent: cruelty, two per cent, Of the 69 per cent, mentioned previously, 51. per cent, are due directly to in- Yantile paralysis. pnt Because of a new scientific method a new era is dawning for the crippled child. He is emerging from a dark cell of isolation to the sunlight of a world willing to re- cognize him the lovable and patient person he truly is, Mr, Jremner stated. as Swain (after momentous inter- view with damsel's father)-- "You were right when you sald your father was a perfect lamb."

PATRICK Party Will Celebrate 1,- 500th Anniversary of Saint's Landing in Ireland Perhaps the most unusual of all pilgrimages is that made annually to the mountain-top shrine of St. Patrick on the high, bare, cone- shaped mountain which bears his name and which overlooks Clew Bay, County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland. (Additional interest is lent to the pilgrimage this year because the ceremonies to be held on Sunday, July 31st, will celebrate in honor of the 1500th anniversary of the arrival of St. Patrick in Ireland. The pilgrimage is made yearly by many Canadians and Americans --s0 many in fact that the Cunard Line for several seasons has de- voted a special sailing to this pur- pose, the ship calling at Galway, a short distance from Westport, the starting point for the gruelling, rocky climb up the mountain, long known as Croagh Patrick, whose peak stands 2510 feet above the level of the sea, According to tradition it from this mountain that St. rick drove all the serpents Ireland into the sea, never turn, The pilgrimage up the side of the holy mountain, where St. Pat- rick spent the forty days of Lent in penance, fasting and prayer, 1500 years ago, begins on Saturday ¢.ening any time between six o'clock and midnight, daylight last- ing close up to this time. Young people make the ascent in three hours or less, while the older peo- ple take much longer resting fre- quently during the journey. 'Lorch- hight. are carried by many to light the way and guard against precip- itous falls, Often the crowd breaks into a hymn to make the walking casier or to help them to forget the difficulty of trudging over the stony paths. For the climb up the last two hundred yards before reaching the summit the pilgrims remove their shoes and finish the journey barefooted. Many 'of the religious make the entire climb without foot protection, St. Patrick was seventy years old when he first climbed the moun- tain, Now many a pilgrim of the une age makes the journey, tak- ing a keen pride in this imitation of a part of the rigid Lenten pen- ance of the patron saint of Ireland. There is still a thrill for them in kneeling where St. Patrick knelt filteen centuries ago. An odd thing about the pilgrim- age is that rarely does any onc turn back. Men and women using crutches finally reach' the summit, taking five or more hours to make the ascent. Old folks go hand-in- hand, one helping the other, Girls with tender feet start the climb with old shoes to guard against the thousands of pieces of chipped stones, which cover hundreds of acres of the mountain side. These shoes are worn to shreds long be- fore the summit is reached. Yet no one ever falters. Everybody goes on, jugt as if there was to be no turning back, By six o'clock in the morning the half-acre summit of the mountain is crowded and so are the slopes, especially the protected side, should a chill wind be blowing. The masses begin at 6 am. and continue to be repeated until noon, As a rule about thirty priests cele- brate the services in the oratory, or little church, that tips the sum- mit of the mountain... As maily as six thousand receive communion, Although the climb up Croagh Patrick is considered the most strenuous pilgrimage in the world, it is generally agreed that the views from the top are so superb that the visitor, as well as the pil- grim, feels that the journey is well worth the effort, was Pat- from to re- No fame I crave; before my eye A simple goal I keep; I hope just once, before I die, To get sufficient sleep!

The selling of "mummy wheat' and other seed wag labelled as a racket of Egyp- tian guides by Dr. C., L. Huskins of McGill University department of biology on hearing that a Dan- ish farmer near Port Arthur, Ont., had harvested 200 peas from a single one sald to haye come from King Tutankhamen's tomb. The pea was one of six brought from Egypt by a Danish mission- ary and cost the farmer $25. "There is uctually no evidence that wheat was ever cultivated in ancient Egypt, although of course it was sown by the Greeks and Romans," Prof. Huskins said. "Now and again _a fow seeds of native Egyptian grains are found in sarcophagi, but so far none have ever been found to germin- ate, according to the professor who looked up facts. He found, however, that the "mummy wheat racket" had been worked as far back as 1835 when a learned pro- fessor in Prague planted a few precidus seeds to find them the ordinary and modern Egyptian wheat when they germinated. He had received them from a 'trust worthy traveller' who may him- self have been deceived. "Present day experimentation shows that the seeds of all domes- tic grains and legumes lose their vitality in a few short years," Dr, Huskins pointed out. "Weed seeds are known to be the hard- fest in that they can survive long years. Yet even weed seeds would be most distinctly dead if they had come from King Tut's tomb." Further information gleaned by Dr. Huskins shows that a re- search worker, De Candolle by name, in seeking the origin of peas, has found out that they ap- pear to have spread north and east from Sicily in aneclent days. Actually remains of peas have been found on the sites of the primeval Swiss lake dwellings, which date back as far as good King Tutankamen. Yet peas were never.cultivated in Egypt. Modern wheat was not culti- vated there either. The Egyptians did not know modern bread wheats. They grew what was an ancestor of the present day maca- roni wheat, Yet it is true that some of the members of the leguminous fam- ily to which the cultivated peas belong retain their powers of ger- mination for long years. While only six per cent of the common peas will germinate after a stor- age of six years, the seed of the Egyptian lotus is said to retain its power of germination for 200 years, ' Of the salmon wrote a six-year- old This almost made us swoon--- It is "a fish that in the Spring Goes up the streams to spoon." MEXICO AND PERU SEVER RELATIONS Both Governments , Order | Return of Legation - Staffs Mexico City, May 19.--Foreign Minister Manuel C, Tellez has announced that diplomatic rela- tions between Mexico and Peru had been severed. The Peruvian Government, the Foreign Minister revealed, re- cently asked Mexico to withdraw Minister Juan B, Cabral and his staff from Lima, saving they no longer were acceptable as diplo- matic representatives, Peru's action, Senor Tellez said, was based on alleged charges made by Haya De. la Torre, a Peruvian, that while in Mexico he had used Mexican dip- lomatiec pouches to transfer private correspondence to Peru. Peru charged that the Mexican mission in Lima had "intervened in internal politics and served plans of Communistic elements to disturp the public order." Orders were sent to the dip- lomatic mission in Lima to with- draw from the country and pass- ports were handed to Oscar Bar- renechea Y. Raygadas, the Peru- vian Minister here, and to mem bers of his staff. Foreign Minister Tellez de- clared Mexican diplomatic pouch- es had not been used improperly and asserted that the Mexican Minister at Lima had not been friendly with De La Terre, as charged by the Peruvian Gov- ernment, "We wish to make plain that our relations with the Peruvian people always will remain cor- dial," the Foreign Minister said.
