Brendan Kennelly composed a short poem for the 1994 treeplanting ceremony, which read:

There is a tree called freedom and it grows

somewhere in the hearts of men.

the tree shivers, steadies itself again,

steadies itself like Hugh O’Flaherty’s hand.

Kerryman Caused Change In English Police Force Dress

BECAUSE a Lixnaw man in the Hastings Police Force found the heat-wave of late July too much to bear and discarded his tunic, while retaining his helmet and white gloves when on traffic control duty, the entire British Police Force is to be issued with open-neck jackets for summer, and possibly all the year round wear.

The policeman is Kevin Somers, of Dromcollogher, Lixnaw, and when his photograph was taken while he was in short-sleeves directing the traffic, the unorthodox dress caused a minor sensation among his colleagues and superiors.

The photograph was reproduced in practically all the English National dailies and result is that the recommendations of a Committee on Police Uniforms has been accepted by the Home Secretary.

Thus, English policemen will wear R.A.F. blue shirts and collars and dull blood ties with the new open-necked tunic. Helmets will be retained, with perhaps a flat cap for some duties, stich as motor-cycling and office work.

INDULGENCES for the  Faithful Departed: At this time of the year, the Church invites us to remember our Faithful Departed and to give them a special share in the prayer of the Church and the Saints. Because of this, particular forms of prayer attract  either  a  ‘partial indulgence’ (bringing the faithful departed closer to   heavenly   glory)   or   a   ‘plenary indulgence’ (bringing on of the faithful departed into the fullness of heavenly glory.) On All Souls’ Day visiting a church to pray an Our Father and a Creed carries with it an indulgence. Between 1 November and 8 November, visiting a cemetery to pray for the Faithful Departed carries with it an indulgence. One indulgence can be earned in any given day. For the indulgence to  be  a  Plenary  (or  Full) indulgence, the following are required: 1. To receive Holy Communion within 20 days of the indulgence 2. To make a Sacramental Confession within 20 days of the indulgence 3. To pray for the intentions of the Holy Father. 4. To be without attachment to/affection for sin
