She owns to forty-one, Keeps her hair bright by vegetable rinses, Has two well-nourished children â€" daughter and 5011â€" I Just now away at school. Her house, \Vltl‘l chintzes _ Expensiver curtained, auto-rates the caller. And she is fond of Early American glass Stacked in an English breakfront somewhat taller Than her best friend's. Last year she took a class In modern drama at the County Center. _ Twice, on Good Friday, she's heard Parsifal sung. She often says she might have been a painter Or maybe writer, but she married young. She diets. And with Contract she delays The encroaching desolation of her days. From TIMES THREE. * 'k i: men and women of distinction that have emerged from their ranks. Need I say we feel a special pride in that man of our race whose memory is loved and honored in all the world, that great American and President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy? We welcome you today, the delegates of all the nations represented here. You have come to us when we have come out of the darkness into the sunlight. The sun, as we know. casts shadows, so that we still have problems to tackle, but none so great that we cannot with energy and determination master them. The Ireland of today is an Ireland of brass tacks. Today our chief preoccupation is with eco- nomics and no one will deny that this is neces- sary. Romantic Ireland may not be dead and gone but for the moment at least her face is veiled. When we took over self government we had few industries and were almost wholly depend- ent on agriculture. We had to create more in- dustries in order to balance our economy. We have to date made a remarkable degree of progress in industrialization, but much re- mains to be done. Agriculture is still our great- est industry and the most important source of our wealth. We have electrified our rivers and our bogs; and rural electrification, which is now complete. undoubtedly marks the greatest advance in the comfort and living standards of our rural people. We still have an immigra- tion problem, though the numbers emigrating show a progressive decline. There has been an increase in agricultural productivity but as there is greater mechanization on the land, the numbers employed on the land have not in- creased. We have established many new in- dustries but as yet they cannot fully absorb our labor force. Our policy at home is to work towards a prosperity that will ensure a good standard of 12 living for all our people and will [mi m [he full employment of all our citizens. In the field of international relatirw _, is lhc desire of the Irish people and the , m, of the Irish Government to work with ! . mime sentatives of your nations, and of i ihe mg tions of the world under the bflnll .,1' me United Nations. towards bringing :- i that greatest blessing for all mankind.
