NURSING: While wounded in battle in 1898, Edward Baker wished for nursing on the battlefield. Nine years later, he founded a group that would do just that: the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY). He recruited young British women who could ride and owned horses, and the group soon came into being. FANYs received international attention. In 1909 an American newspaper, the Statesman Journal, described the group as “well nigh revolutionary … the idea is that the women shall care for the wounded as they fall and shall practically enter the area of the fight.” FANYs did see their fair share of action as they served valiantly in World War I, facing Zeppelin raids, vehicle problems, shellfire, death, and disease. At first unaccepted by their home country, FANYs provided help elsewhere, for the Belgian and French armies, setting up hospitals and serving on battlefields. The British didn’t utilise their services until January 1, 1916.

County Kerry Farmers Raise Hell Holidaymakers in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, could find that they are sharing their stretch of beach with tractors and trailers this summer if the area’s angry farmers’ demands are not met. They are looking for action from the Minister for Industry and Commerce on the question of removal of material—sand gravel and seaweed—which they hold they have a right to. For some time now the farmers have been fighting for the right to remove material from the foreshore but the campaign came to a head last week when farmers drove en masse to the strand to load up their trailers. After loading up, the farmers drove at a crawl through Ballybunion causing a serious traffic hold up. An order made by the Minister for Industry and Commerce in 1932 and updated in 1950 permits tractor owners residing in North Kerry and the parish of Athea, Co. Limerick, to remove only sand and seaweed from the foreshore between October 1 and June 1, but not the remainder of the year. The threat of the beach takeover during the summer was made by the farmers’ chairman, Michael Griffin: “If they try to keep us out we will go there and take over the strand instead of the visitors. “We feel it is up to the Minister to become involved and we feel we have a right there. Seventy years ago they tried to close the beach to us and also forty years ago, when three men went to jail over the matter.”

IRISH NATIONAL IMMIGRATION Statement of John P. Collins, National Chairman of the American Irish National Immigration Committee delivered before Subcommittee No. 1 – Immigration and Nationality of the Judiciary Committee, United States House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Congress: First, I take the liberty, Mr. Chairman to congratulate you on your appointment as Chairman of Subcommittee No. 1. Your succession to the Chair of your distinguished predecessor is a well deserved appointment. I represent today, the American Irish Immigration Committee, a national group with chapters in thirty states, composed of Protestants, Catholics and Jews. Our members are represented in all the major Irish organizations in the United States including the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Knights of Equity, the American Irish Historical Society, county associations and American Irish clubs and organizations. Our committee directs your attention to H.R. 981, section 9, amending Section 212 (d) (5) (c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, dealing with refugees. We urge its enactment. Only recently, your subcommittee in other hearings, received a detailed report on the happenings in the northern six county area of Ireland, known to us as occupied Ireland. Discrimination, terror; oppression and injustice are the everyday occurrence in this area. We have had occasion to interview residents of this area visiting the U.S. who have been the victims of discrimination in housing, in jobs; who have been the victims of the terror in the area, by reason of their political opinions and their religious persuasion. On the advice of their families, relatives, friends, solicitors, clergymen and yes, even on the advice of certain members of the British Parliament, they have sought to remain in the United States. Returning to occupied Ireland would be foolhardy for them. Fear of their safety demands that they reside elsewhere. These individuals, not yet large in number, have aunts, uncles and cousins in the U.S. Lacking sisters and brothers who are U.S. citizens, they cannot qualify for fifth preference visas. Nor can they meet the requirement of the other family related preferences. The stringent application of labour clearance, makes it impossible for them to qualify for a non-preference, third preference or sixth preference visa. Their only hope is to seek asylum here and obtain status as a refugee. Our nation has always been the haven of the oppressed, yet the United States refuses to grant asylum to one in the predicament that I have just outlined. In January 1972, I communicated with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in Washington requesting information as to the position of the government on the matter. I received the following reply: “Reference is made to your letter of January 24, 1972, concerning visitors from Northern Ireland who do not desire to return abroad. Detailed instructions have been furnished our local offices for the processing of any alien who does not desire to return to his home country because of fear of persecution due to race, religion or political opinion. Each case of this type is decided on its merits. If you know of anyone who falls within this category, it is suggested that you direct the individual to call at the New York office of this Service at 20 West Broadway in order that their cases may be given consideration. Persons in other parts of the country may present themselves at the nearest local office of the Service having jurisdiction over their location. Sincerely, (Sgd.) James F. Greene Associate Commissioner Operations”

631 Hurt So Far In Industrial Accidents Figures just released by the National Industrial Safety Organisation show that for the quarter ended March 31, 1973, a total of 631 notifiable accidents were reported, five of them fatal. The greatest number (2) of deaths occurred in docks and warehouses where efforts are under way to improve the safety situation there. A spokesman for NISO said that arrangements were in hand for the holding of a one-day safety training course for the building and construction industry. Preparations are also under way for the holding of the Sixth World Congress on the Prevention of Occupational Injuries and Diseases in Ireland next May. Upwards of 2,000 representatives of official agencies, social insurance institutions, trade unions, employers’ organisations and private associations from more than 60 countries will attend.
