When the rain comes down, the kids have to stay inside and they can "mess up" as fast as mom can pick up or clean up. Often, it appears to be a losing battle. Many a husband from time to time makes the joking re-mark that he would gladly stay home and "swap Jobs" with mom for a day or two so she would really appreci-ate the effort a man must put forth to be a good provider. But, most men know better and there's no question about the fact that mom would sometimes be glad to swap with anybody for just an hour or so, anyway. This Is not to say that mom doesn't love her house, her work, her children and every-thing else. The truth of the matter is in that old saying about a "woman's work" lt'a really never done. As a rule, mom keeps things pretty well under control. But along comes a holiday that's a rainy day and she not only has her regular "chores" to do, she also has the young-sters underfoot. She has to do for them and, by the time they get through making "tents" out of chairs and blankets, with an Impromptu pillow fight thrown iu tor good meas-ure, she seriously thinks about throwing her arms sky-ward and shouting, "I sur-render!"

With the authority of Pope Celettine, St. Patrick, once more, returned to Ireland, to preach the gospel to it then heathen inhabitant. The history of St. Patrick' Day i mostly legendary history. Prob-ably the most famou fete associat-ed with St. Patrick was hi driving the makes of Ireland. However, a little known but cute legend is associated with thi event. It is (aid, that when banishing the anake and toads from Ireland, in the Gaultie mountains situated between the counties of Cork and Tipperary, St. Patrick chained a monster serpent in a lake called Lough Dilueen, telling him that he would remain there until Monday. However, St. Patrick never return-ed to free the serpent and on every Monday morning, it ;s said, the serpent calls out in Irish: "it is a long Monday, Patrick I" That St. Patrick chained the ser-pent and that the serpent calls out to him every Monday morning, is st 11 firmly believed by those who live in the neighborhood of the Lough, One of the better known of all the legends dealing with St. Pat-rick, is how he was responsible for the Shamrock becoming the fam-iliar Irish emblem. The legend, which has been re-counted in the famous Rust Craft "Legend Series" of greeting card, reads: "Long ago, when Ireland was the land of the Druids, there wa a great bishop, Patrick, by name, who came to teach the word of Cod throughout the country. "Thi Saint, for he wa indeed a aint, wa well-love- d everywhere he went. One day, however, a group of hi follower came to him and admitted that it waa difficult for them to believe in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. "St. Patrick reflected a moment and then atooping down he plucked a leaf from the Shamrock and held it before them, bidding them to be-hold the living example of th '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 1 7th of March, wherever true Sons of Erin gather, the Shamrock is proudly worn as a symbol of the faith that '.... Ireland. ST-- PATRICK'S DAY OBSERVED TODAY This year marks the fifteen hun-dredth anniversary of the death of St. Patrick historical authorities have set 461 A.D. as the year of his death. Through the centuries, many legends and controversies have surrounding the life of St. Patrick. Almost as many countries claim the honor of having been the natal soil of St. Patrick, for example, as made a similar claim with respect to Homer. Scotland, England, France and Wales have each fur-nished their respective pretentions. Whatever doubts may obscure his birthplace, however, he came from a patrician family, as his name implies. When St. Patrick was 16 years old, he was carried off by pirates, who later sold him into slavery in Ireland. Hi master worked him as a swineherd on the well known mountain of Sleamish, in the county of Antrim. Here St. Patrick lived for seven years, acquiring a knowl-edge of the Irish language, as well as their manners, habits and cus-toms.

Since then the "emergency" taxes on various items have been ex-tended year after year. The term emergency tax has been used by Congress instead of "sales" tax because the sales tax idea was not popular. Therefore, a ' limited number of Industries were penalized with high "emer-gency" taxes instead of low gen-eral sales taxes. The latest example of the "emergency" tax racket is the one-ce- additional federal gas tax enacted last year with the provision that it would expire next June 30th. A move is underway to continue the tax and even in-crease it above the present federal tax of four cents a gallon. State gas taxes range from three to seven cents a gallon not counting state sales and local taxes. In other words, state and federal "sales" taxes on a necessity are some 30 per cent of the price of the product less taxes, $1.00 on every 10 gallons of gasoline. Is it any wonder the worms (the taxpayers) are beginning to turn and no longer believe their lawmakers when they talk about "temporary" taxes? It is time to call a spade a spade and admit that most temporary or emer. gency taxes are Just an excuse for permanent sales taxes, which legislators are afraid to propose for fear of losing votes. The honest thing to do is to cut out such subterfuges and if needs demand It, establish a general sales tax instead of socking a few Industries with sales taxes running from 10 to 50 per cent, as with telephones, transportation and gasoline. The exorbitant tax on gasoline may be the straw that breaks the camel's back and brings a halt to the deception practiced in the name of "emergency" or "tem-porary" taxes. The worms are turning against the temporary tax racket baptized and confirmed in the LDS church by her father, Lamar Pe-terson. Mr. and Mr. Robert A.
