There were .pienty or bars knuckle fights in early days on P. E.I.. and no doubt in other Pro- vinces too. It was a hard enough way to settle differences but much better than "duelling" with pistols which got very commonplace, and deadly. particularly in the south- ern States. Duelling was also prac- ticed in many European countries. They also had their rough sporting contests.

The Welsh had some sort of shin kicking contests, armed with heavy cleats on their sabots (wooden shoes). The French had ”Sa.botIe" which was also shin kicking. I don't remember of reading oi the great sport contests of the Irish and Scots, who were of pure Celtic blood. It would likely be throwing heavy weights (stones). The Boots still refer to the "heavy" and "light" stone (12 and 16 lb. shot). It is obvious that the people -of the part of France called Brittany and the original British were of the same origin. The respective names 0! the inhabitants are Bre- ton and Briton. There is enough known to bear out the assumption that the parts of Europe border- ing on the Atlantic ocean were explored and colonized by the Phoeniclsns, a hardy pioneering race of people from Asia Minor. who gradually worked t.heir way along the shores of the Mediter- ranean to Spain and thence to what is now known as Brittany (in France) and the British Isles. Evi- dently they gave the Spanish names Iberia and Catalonia to Ire- land and Scotland. In the course of a few centuries the names got changed to Hibernia (the old name ior Ireland), and Caledonia. for Scotland). .

Professor J. Walter Jones. Pre- mier of P. E. island. a keen stu- dent oi history, migration and racial origin, at I political meet- ing in Kensington some years ago said that British and French were basically the same races. That the Roman upation of Gaul and France (as at present). being of longer duration, the Latin influ- ence got a stronger hold on the language and customs. There is a long hiatus in the history of the Roman occupation of Britain. for one hundred and fifty years be- fore the comiru of I-iengist and Horse. the Norsemen. in which lit- tle or nothing was written, or at least there isnothing extant. When the Norsemen overran what is now the Netherlands. Belgium and France, in the filth and sixth cen- turies, the Norse blood became fused with the blood of the orig- inal lnhabltants. and in the course of time the progeny became known as Norman-French. The Angles, Saxons. Friesinns and other tribes from the Baltic shore area had made inroads in Britain and es- tablished the seven Kingdoms oi

inal Britons were forced into the mountains oi Wales and into scot- land. 0 I I I

William the Conquero- frorn Caen. Normandy, in 1066. vanquished the metamorphosed Anglo-Saxons and original Britons at Hastings and set up a Norman kingdom in Britain. The influence of the Norman conquest and dom- ination oi Britain. with many rulers of pure Norman blood had an all pervading effect on the people of Britain. It is natural to ” thatinthe long line of Norman and Plantagenet rulers. and the influx of great numbers oi soldiers in order to keep the Anglo- Baxons in subjection. that there would be much inter-marriage- hence a greater iusion oi the races.

The early Norman Kings ruled with a will of iron. They were am- bitl and disposed to start inno- vations. William I began the planting oi oak trees. which grew and flourished in such an extent that they (or later growth). pro- vided the timber for the ships which made England mistress oi the seas. Oak planking did not splinter. A hole made by round shot closed instantly. or nearly so. He also ordered the "Domesday" Book (a record oi everybody and everything in the Kingdom). Hen- ry II instituted trial,,h!

The Norman King Stephen al- lowed the Barons to fortify their cuties and keep armed forces un- der command. They became a law unto themselves. and some time later were powerful enough to force King John to sign Magra Carla (the great charter). the foundation of British and Americ- an law and liberty.

France glass had greater success in holding together her overseas possessions in Africa than in Am- erica. The great French equator- ial empiro in Africa is almost equal in area to the Dominion of Canada. France also had a big colony on the Mississippi River called Louisiana, which then om- bracsd much more territory than the present state of Louisiana. French colonization and occupation of Canada extended almost inter- ruptedly from 1605 till 1759. Dur- ing those 154 years of colonization the population had grown to 00,000 persons. When Canada was iorm- ally ceded to Britain by the treaty oi Paris in 1763. the French colan- lsta were given generous terms. There was little or no attempt to substitute the English language for the Canadiens' native tongue. Their law courts and land regula- tions were practically unchanged.

The American colonies revolted in 1775 against the arbitrary taxes imposed on them during the reign of George III and the government then in power. and against which they were warned by the. great statesmen Pitt. Fox, and Burke. They sent armies against Canada. which they had importuned to join them in the revolution. but the former French colonists showed their loyalty and gratitude to their British masters by defeating both American armies. and keeping Canada under British rule.

French Canadian citizens are generally a peace loving people. deeply rooted to the soil. Their number has increased from sixty thousand at the date oi British occupation in approximately three and a half millions. They are emo- tional, and esthetic in the line of music. carving. painting and the fine arts. Being a peace loving people, close to the soil. they have an aversion to war as a means to an end. There was quite a lot of unpleasantness between the differ- ent. races in Canada during World war I. but the Bolshevlk soviet threat has had the effect of merg- ing the two races in s. common purpose to defeat the aims of the

Norman influence and culture also had far reaching effects in Ireland. In the twelith century Ireland was ruled by six kings who were engaged in an lnternecinc war. One of them asked the Nor- man Klng Henry II for help. He sent a nobleman whose cognomen was Strongbow. in 1172 with a large army. The army got so enamored of the place and people that it remained and wok posses- sion-with the result that Ireland remained a ”fiei" oi the British Crown for over six hundred years. There are thousands oi Irish names of Norman origin. Those with the prefix ”Fltz" are very numerous. Long lists of names of Norman origin may be seen in Irish histories. Authorities on gen- ealogy say that the native Irish had black eyes and a dark Castil- ian complexion. The bland and auburn Irish are either of Danish or Celtic origin. Ireland. the land of ”Sslnt.s and scholars" held to the christian ialth and education established by St. Patrick during the dark ages and the reign oi barbarism established by the Hans and Visigoths in Europe. when the Rennsissance and return of lcamlng came. Ireland was able to send scholars from her seats of learning to teach the people who were benighted for centuries.
