Other side of Viking story.
Horned helmet, mead soaking his red beard, a buxom wench at his arm, blood on his battle axe ... that is the image of the Viking.  But not all were blood thirty plunderers, say historians, Elsa Roesdahl, lecturer in medieval archaeology at Denmark's Aarhus University, a pre-eminent expert said: "Now we know that most of them were farmers who lived quietly at home. They were craftsmen and traders."  Given the new image, the Vikings are enjoying unprecedented popularity among their descendants ... with television programmes, books and lectures.  "I think the Scandinavians are rather proud of what their ancestors did.  It was a glorious past," said Dr. Roesdahl.  A display at the National Museum, called the Vikings in England, had drawn thousands of visitors.  Rape and pillage were not ignored, but also illustrated was the Viking invaders expertise in house building, the arts, agriculture and other advanced traits of a civilised society.  A popular feature was a skeleton recovered from a grave in England and displayed as it was found - the skull between the legs.

O'Neill, who has been for more than two years curate of Drumragh (Omagh) has been offered and has accepted, a chaplaincy in the Royal Air Force.  He was curate in Derriaghy diocese of Connor before he went to Omagh. During his stay in Omagh he was actively associated with the Church Lads' Brigade and took a special interest in the boys and men of the Inniskilling Fusiliers.  His captaincy of the hockey club and interest in athletics brought his into touch with the young men of the town and district of Omagh, by whom he will be much missed.  He reports for duty in the R.A.F. on March 1.

Dr. Barton) for the following centres :- Derrylane, March 6; Bailieborough, March 20; Killoughter and St. John's, March 27; Cavan Union, April 3?; Killeshandra and Killegan, April 24; Drung, May 1; Downa and Innismagrath May 22; Kinawley and the Holy Trinity May 29; Calry, June 5; Larah and Lavey, June 19.  Meetings are being held throughout the various rural deaneries in Down and Connor and Dromore on behalf of "The Cathedral Quarter of a Million Shilling Fund."

REVEALED
Winston of Finance Myth - "Sound Policy Disagreeable"

"I am sure," said Mr. Churchill to the Oldham (Lancsl) Chamber of Commerce on Thursday night, "that you will permit me to keep the grisly Budget secrets locked in my own bosom for a few more weeks. "I am always impressed," he said, "with the mysteries of finance, and I think a great deal of the mystery of finance arises from misunderstanding. In finance appearances are always deceptive. Some symptoms very often mean quite different things, and it may be a healthy or unhealthy symptom, according to the cause from which it arises.
SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES
"For instance, people say money is cheap, and they say that is good or they say money is dear, and that is bad, but either view is correct from the cause. Money may be cheap because enterprise is stagnant, or it may be because industry is expanding. It may be cheap because some process, some immoral process as inflation, much as we are frequently tempted to, is ?ing on, or it may be some sober measure or restraint is being applied.  "Take another example. Exports may increase, and most people would say how good that it, but search for the reason, they may increase because we are becoming more efficient competitors in foreign markets, or they may increase because we are selling a larger quantity of goods at a loss.  Imports again may increase, either because we are doing a very profitable business abroad, getting extremely good prices for what we send from this country, or they may increase because we are living on capital.  Exchanges may go up because we have a sound system of finance and a steady condition of credit and politics in the land, because we have a good balance of trade or for some perfectly reputable  (sorry end of clipping)

CRICKET TO-MORROW
'Inter-Pro.' at Ormeau - Keen Struggle Expected
Three Senior League Games
Ulster and Leinster will continue their inter-provincial match tomorrow at Ormeau where spectators should be certain of seeing plenty of skilful and attractive cricket from experienced players of proved worth, all anxious to advance their claims to inclusion in the Ireland side v. Scotland a fortnight hence.  Three Senior League games are in to-morrow's programme.  Donacloney, without R. M. Liddell, J. McCullough and C. M. Boucher, should find it difficult to repeat at the Wallace Park last week's narrow success over Lisburn, who will be without G. M. Crothers.  Armagh and Cliftonville at Armagh has every appearance of a good match, and if Holywood are to improve their position, their home game with Waringstown would seem as good an opportunity as any.  Queen's University will be at home to North Down at Cherryvale in a friendly game.
