I.C.A. GUILDS IN KERRY HEALTHY AND ACTIVE
THE Summer Federation meeting of Kerry I.C.A. was held last Saturday in the Muintir na Tire Hall, Ballybunion, There were delegates from Killarney, Listowel, Tralee, Cloghane, Castlemaine, Castleisland, Slieveawadra, Moyvane and Ballybunion.
The Secretary and Treasurer were unavoidably absent and were deputised for by Mrs. E. O’Keefle, Killarney, and Mrs. C. Casey, N.T. Tralee. Mrs. T. Mulvihill, N.T., President of Ballybunion Guild welcomed the delegates to Ballybunion. Mrs. K. Ahern, Federation President, presided. The meeting opened with a prayer in Irish, followed by the sinking of "My Land." The President then announced that since the last Federation meeting guilds had been opened in Causewav and Abbeydorney. KERRY BANNER On display was the new Kerry I.C.A. banner, designed and executed in tweed by Miss Miranda Scully. It represents St. Brendan, Kerry’s patron saint, holding in his left hand a map of the American Continent. Framing him is an old Romanesque Doorway. Behind that again rises Mount Brandon, with its winding path, leading to Beehive Cells. Adding atmosphere and character to the setting are gulls, gannets and a primitive currach.
In her Grianan News, Mrs. Ahern paid tribute to the many people in Tearmonfecin and surroundings who did Trojan work on the day of the Fete, She congratulated the guilds on the generous support they had given, especially Kenmare, who organised the county raffle for a length of tweed, and forwarded as a result £28-8-8 for Travel Aid Fund. Killarney and Tralee T.A.s reported that each hoped to have a week at An Grianan and the other guilds are preparing for a Kerry week after Listowel Races. Killarney was congratulated on representing the county for the E.G. Trophy and only for the handicap they suffered as a T.A. were the area winners.
HEALTHY AND ACTIVE
Excellent guild reports were given by Mrs. Mulvihill, President Ballybunion Guild, Mrs. Noonan, President Moyvane and Mrs. S. McKenna, Secretary Listowel. They showed that those guilds were in a healthy and active state and a credit to their county and the association.
Mrs. Ahem proposed that now that the county had got over most of its growing pains that the time had come for farming out some of the Federation work to various guilds and for the formation of sub-committees to deal with roadside garden competitions, county shows, inter-Federation Competitions and the E.G. Trophy.
SCHOLARSHIPS A vote of thanks from the county was passed to Kosangas for presenting twenty-eight Grianan scholarships—one for each Federation. Nominations were invited before September, to fill five county offices viz. President, Press Correspondent, Teachta and Leas Teachta Grianan, International Officer. It was regretted that Miss Crowley’s visit to Kerry had to be postponed owing to the tourist season.
BRANNRA WINNERS The following were presented with Brannra’s; Mrs. McGuire, Killarney—rushwork; Mrs. Turner, do,—knitting; Mrs. J. Kelly, do.— rushwork; Mrs. Sweeney, do.— rushwork; Mrs. -Boyle, do.— machine sewing; Miss J. Hasset, Tralee—skin curing. Mrs. C. Casey, N.T., President, Tralee T.A., proposed a vote of thanks to Ballybunion Guild for acting as hostesses for the meeting. Next meeting, September 27; Probable venue—Castlemaine.

Old Confraternity Recalled by Medal Found Under House
THE medal of a religious sodality which functioned in Victoria for many years but which has now
been superseded by the Holy Name Society and other organizations, was found under the flooring
of a house in Harkness-street, Bendigo, recently. It was an oval medallion of the "Arch confraternity
of the Holy Family," founded more than 100 years ago, and which had thousands of members in the different colonies of Australia before Federation.
The medal, made to be worn on a chain or ribbon, was struck by "O’Connor of Limerick," and
bears a relief of the Holy Family with the words "Arch confraternity of the Holy Family" on the reverse side. Across the medallion is inscribed "Established by Pope Pius IX, April, 1847."
