-r n yDRUGS, OILS AND PAINTS* ( 5 ^ / f ^ J s To Paint or Not to Paint. (This story comes ora Ireland, of course, by w ay of the "Irish il & Colour Trades Review." ) A t a previous m eeting of Clare H ealth oard, Miss Murphy, M atron of Raheen Hosital, reported th a t the ambulance driver, lichael Tuohy, knew nothing about painting, nd it would be necessary to engage a m an > do some pain tin g and o th er jobs of th a t laracter about the institution. The Board len pointed out th a t nothing very elaborate as required and th a t Tuohy should be asked . "try ." A further report was now received from le M atron statin g she had again asked uohy to do the w ork b u t he declined, s ta tin g hat when he w anted his own ambulance ainted he put his hand in his pocket and paid m an to do the work. Mr. Garry Burke asked if it was p art of le duty of the am bulance driver to do the ainting. The secretary said th a t each ambulance riv er was supposed to fill in his spare tim e y doing odd jobs about the hospital with hich he was connected. The chairm an said th a t any "gom " a t all juld handle a paint brush the w ay they w anted . All he had to do was to dip it in a paint o t and rub it over some article or other. The secretary thought th a t the real reason f T u o hy's re fu sa l to u n d e rta k e p a in tin g w as oat he did not w ant to tu rn out bad work nd have the local people lau g h in g a t him. Mr. F ahy-- If he g ets off, all th e oth er d riv ers w ill refuse to p ain t, too. M r. H ayes-- H e w on't know w h e th e r he is good painter or not until he tries. He m ight e a good painter fo r all he knows. Chairm an--He m ight be a regular Leonardo a Vinci or Raphael. L et him m ake an effort nyway. Mr. Hayes said th at Tuohy was a good man it his w ork and th e B oard w ould not be too ritical of his w ork as a painter. An order was made th at the M atron request Tuohy to make a really earn est effort to paint he woodwork, etc., of Raheen.
