Faith and begorrah. !f you look up In the sky over Case

tlegar tomorrow on the Blessed Patrick’s Day and see, a

rainbow, haste ye to find the end of-it, for there for sure’,

lies the pot of gold found years ago by that faithful son of
Tipperary's Galtee Mountains, Lanty Gavigan.

The story of Lanty and his remarkable pot of gold mk: i

ght not survive under the burning light of science, but
never mind there are. those, too, who do not believe in the
Little People who dance in the glens-and grannogs of the
Emerald Isle.

Lanty loved Castlegar because of its irish name. He

_ once’ settled at: Murphy Creek and there he might have

stayed but Lanty, God’ rest his soul, was led to Castlegar

. by a Leprachaun—you know those little people, no bigger

than your thumb, who dress gaily in green swallow-tail

" coats," pair of yellow knee ‘breeches, white stockings,

black shoes with bright golden buckles, and set at a jaunty
angle on their.wee curly heads is‘a black billy-cock hat.

Well, one day Lanty met one down just about where *

No. 3 Well in Castlegar is located, and it said to him:

“Lanty, me boy, | sat by your cradle the night ‘you ©

+ were born, and !-followed you around the entire entrancing

corners of Ireland, from thatch cottage to Dublin, and,

travelled with. you over the dark waters of the Atlantic to
guide and console you, and when you were tempted by sin,
we helped you resist the wiles of. the devil and when dis-
couragement sat like a sack of stones on your back, we
were with you to help Highten* your Burden." ¥ t

Now in those days there were very few people in this
country from the Old Sod, and those who were unlucky en-
‘cough to be non-trish thought Lanty was daft in the head
when he told them of his little friends.

Everybody knew that Lanty was different from every
one else in the:community. He toiled not, neither did he
spin but the Leprachauns supplied him with raiment as

own.”

‘And then one day Lanty Gavigan vanished. Where did
he .go?:To this “very day there is not a living soul who
knows, but on St. Patrick’s Day, who should turn up. in
town, yes, you guessed it, it was Lanty Gavigan himself!

Faith, there’s many a story to be told about" that night.

Watching our high school
hockey .team in action the
other day, I could not re-
frain from brooding about
how the game has changed,

what I was watching
was “sport’’, and “sch
boy” sport at that, I guess .
it’s time I was put out to
pasture,

Oh, it was exciting, all
right. ‘That is, if you like to
watch teenage boy: 8 tryin ft

with deliberate hooks, re-
move each others’. tecth
with high sticks, and smash
each others’ brains out
against the boards. °°

Throw in some deliberate
slashing, tripping, knecing,
butt-ending and a couple of
fights, and you have the pic-
ture of young Canada play-
ing its national game.

Admittedly, the game is

ever, But furious is a word

feigned boxing is a sport,

In vain do the coaches of
high school teams tell their
charges. to play hard but
Sean: The kids have watch-

‘too much pro hockey,
where most of the fans, like
spectators in a Roman
arena, want blood, and the
pros oblige.

The only thing that re-

is a spectacle, not a game —
‘is the fact that there are

The air was rent by the sounds of cobbl ing away:
mending shoes (everybody knows that is the line of work of
the Lebrachaun) and even the quietest man in town was fill-
ed with blarney and fairy launghter drifted in the winds
that blew along Columbia Avenve.

And there was Lanty Gavigan, the saints preserve him,

standing in the middle of the street holding a pot of gold, ©
and around him were dancing ard excited little Creatures

the likes of which Castlegar had never seen before.

To everybody who came up to him, he gave a handful,
.of gold, and the pot always seemed to be filled with the’
yellow, glistening metal.

And Lanty strode through town as if he owend it,
and faith, he had handed out enough gold to buy the whole
place from Kinnaird to Robson West.

And then, and oh, it was a terrible sight to see, Lanty'
Gavigan dropped dead,;: right there in the middle of the

street where Pine meets Columbia, and everybody surged i

forward to help him. Or was‘it grab the pot of gold? |”
The pot of gold, alas, vanished like the snow which
, melts before the warming power of a spring thaw.

Now Lanty Gavigan sleeps in. an unmarked grave;

but on nights when all is still, those whose ears are attuned
to, the whisper of the winds,.claim they hear Lanty laugh-
ing, and on St. Patricks Day, when the rainbow shows over

Castlega?, the Leprachauns return to display their ‘pot of!
