Patrick went aâ€"calling and the battle was on. The story goes it was waged underground right up to the threshold of hell. Some say the powers ouf darkâ€" ness took the form of a savage beast for the fray and that his blood turned the lake red (hence Lough Derg or the red lake) when St. Patrick slew him. There are other versions too, for the origins of the pilgrimage that continues up to the present dayâ€"all good ones. roundâ€"beeâ€"hive cells, beloved by the old Irish monks, are all that remain from the early Christian days. But the prayers and the practices go right back to the asâ€" cetism of the early church. m P Aok_ c lLa."*s 2 "m®. & 2f¢ / The myth and â€"might: of St. Patrick â€" The caves have long since been filled in and the foundations of Barefoot, fasting and without sleep the pilgrims spend three days on the island, circling the monks‘ cells, first inside, then outside, kneeling at a cross in the centre of the island, circling the new basilica, standing and kneelâ€" ing at the water‘s edge and alâ€" ways repeating a neverâ€"ending liâ€" tany of paters, aves and glorias. briefs and hearings suggested that public transport could not play an important role in the overâ€"all transportation policy of the area. He rtefers to Waterloo‘s sub mission, commenting that studies of road needs were called trafâ€" fic studies "rather than the more allâ€"embracing term transportation studies. "The figure of 500,000 popuâ€" lation was used, implying that this was the minimum figure upon which might be based more sophisticated modes of public transit."

He questions why a local waâ€" ter supply should be the responâ€" sibility of a commission rather than council. Commissioner Fyfe accepts that government reform will mean inâ€" creased costs but would ensure better return for the tax dollar. He recommends provision be made for the transition, suggestâ€" ing provincial grants of $3 per person. One third of the grant should be made available the year beâ€" fore transition becomes effective to cover reâ€"organization costs. The balance could be spread over the following two years.
