WHOSE WHO ON THE ROCKY ROAD
TO IRISH FREEDOM
By Tony Duignan, Nassau County Chairman,
Freedom For All Ireland
The Irish Independent keeps on marching to the British
•drum. The only thing that is independent about it is its name,
a more appropriate one would be the British Advocate. It
has played the British game since its very first edition.
In 1914, it backed John Redmond and the passage of
conscription of Irish Youth to fight in the British army. In
"1916, it was appalled at the idiocy of Pierce and Connelly
and the other Irish Republicans to challenge Britains right to
Ireland. In 1918, they worked hard to defeat Sinn Fein. In
1923, they called for the blood of Cathal Brugha and the
Republicans who stood true to the Proclamation of 1916. In
the I930's, they backed General Owen O'Duffy and Jim
Gunning who with their Blue Shirts, tried to turn Ireland

into a Fascist State, only to be defeated by the I.R.A.
O'Duffy then went to Spain with his remaining Blue Shirts
to fight side by side with the Black Shirts and Brown Shirts,
on the side of General Franco. They were lauded by the Irish
Independent. They fully backed the Anglo-Irish agreement
which is an attempt to legitimize the British occupation of
Northern Ireland. When Margaret Thatcher was returned to
power in England, the Independent hailed her great victory,
and that she now stands with Churchill as one of the great
British leaders of the 20th Century. This applause for the
murderess of Bobby Sands and his fellow Irish Patriots.
The principal owner of the Irish Independent is that BIG
WIND now residing in New Jersey THE PRIDE OF
HEINZ'S BEANS, Tony O'Reilly.
At a dinner held in Washington to celebrate the amalga-mation
of the American Irish Foundation and the Ireland
Fund, one of which he founded and which seemed to have
attracted Irish American Seanins (Little J o h n Bulls) the way
treackle attracts flies. Mr. O'Reilly attacked the Irish Flag
and said it should be changed. This is the flag that thousands
of Irish men and women fought and died for. In another
speech, he said the state should put its national assets up for
sale. Perhaps he and his big business friends would like to get
their hands on the Black Gold (coal) under Dublin Bay,
which should be developed in the same way as the E.S.B.,
Bord Na Mona and the Sugar Beet Industries were for the
benefit ol the Irish people.

Hair Dryers:
Potentially Dangerous
Burns, electric shock and
overheating are the major
hazards associated with hair
dryers and styling applian-ces,
says the Lynbrook Fire
Department Bureau of Fire
Prevention. When metal or
plastic components heat up,
the appliance can cause
serious burns on contact
with the skin. Since most
dryers are used in the
bathroom near sinks and
tubs, the chance of shock or
electrocution is increased.
Fires can result from run-ning
dryers or curling irons
for long periods of time or
leaving them unattended.
Follow these safety rules, to
prevent these fires and
burns:
* D o n ' t use d r y e r s,
curling irons, or styling
brushes near or in water.
* If one accidentally
drops into water, shut the
electricity off at the Circuit.
Newer homes have bathroom
outlets made to trip circuit
breaker if the appliance falls
into water.
* Don't dip comb or styl-ing
instruments into water
to dampen hair.
* Don't poke hairpins or
wire through grill work or in
any part of the appliance.
* Never cover the air
vents as this will cause over-heating.
* If the appliance has an
electrical burning odor to it,
discontinue use and replace
the appliance. Do not
attempt to repair it yourself.
* Never leave hair dryers,
curling irons, or any such
appliance on when you leave
the room or the house.
* Don't set dryers down
while on. The vibration may
cause them to fall and cause
injury or fire.
* Keep all appliances out
of the reach of small child-ren,
and teach older children
to correct safety rules.
