New Citizens

A naturalization ceremony Ls al- ways an important event; and it might be a good idea. if it could be arranged, to hold it at a time of the day when a larger number of citi- zens might find it convenient to be present. Most of us are unaware, or at least unmindful, of the emotional experience of those who take upon themselves the rights. privileges. and responsibilities of citi7.enship in A country far from the places of their birth and upbringing and the customs and traditions to which they were heirs. The transplanting of cultural roots and the adoption of new loyalties are not easy accomp- lishments; and it. is to the credit of so many newcomers to our shores that they adjust. themselves to new and strange environments as well as t y do-which, in most instan- ces, is very well indeed.

".l'ho five immigrants who went through the solemn ceremony of naturalization in Charlottetown on Monday morning are now Cana- dians. Without discarding or re- pudiating anything. that was good and noble in their ancestral tradi- tiions, they have accepted member- ship in a new community with all the rights and duties appertaininz thereto. They have much to contri- bute to the strength and solidity of the society of which they are now a part. It is for all citizens to wish them well and, by little gesturgs of good neighbourliness. as occasion may arise to make them feel -at horns. -

Confusion In Education

Lot no one imagine that the cur- runt controversy regarding the func- tions of the schools is peculiar to our tims. It. has been going on ever since the first school teacher sat on one and of n log and tried, probably without success, to coiivcy a bit of elementary knowledge to the mysti- fied person who sat on the other end. (This was the practice. some historians say, for thousands of years before the first class room appeared. What is more, it is still being followed in various parts of the world.)

About 2300 years ago the Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote in this fashion: "All people do not agree in these things thcy would have a child taught, both with respect to im- provement. in virtue and a liappy life: nor is it clear whcthcr the oh- jcct of it slirnild he to improve the reason or rcctify the morals. lfrmn the present mode of education lla- miliar words tin-se'.) we cannot de-

uhnt is cxccllcnt; for all these

tliins.',s have thcir scpzirnlc dcfcnd- crs."

Modern educators and scliool ad- ministrators find thcm-sclvc-' in A similar quandry. 'l'hc only llillli-I 0'1 which they appear to :ItIl'''r 19 lit?” there should he hclfcr sclvmls and

better tcav.-hcrs. When they are asked. "better schools and better tcachcrs for wliat?" the :mswci's they give are almost as varied as

those nffere.d;by the fabled six mm of Hindustan when thc.V 11'"? R-SR” .ed to describe an elephant. On a re- rent panel program, one member of the panel. nhviquslv a "tradition- alist", observed that "if reading were taught well, there would be few educational DI'0bl"mS"- AW other. a so-called "progressive" seemed to be of the opinion, al- though he did not say it rirrht out. that the important thing for h0.VS if to he taught merhanics, and for "iris. how to make edible apple pies -Vncldentally, the latter appeared to be more enthusiastlc'nbout. his par-

Whsntbere- Month

-r

This "apple pie" concept of the schools, under the various guises of course, is very widespread. In n. re- cent American poll, in which thous- ands of persons were interviewed, the most common answer to the question, "what are the schools for” was ”to prepare young people for making a living." Only a small pro- portion of those interviewed sug- gested that learning, per se, quite apart from any economic advantage it might bring, is good and profit- able, or that the intellectual dis- ciplines involved in education on any levels are important in their own right.

Unseemly

It seems that even in illness the President of the United States is expected to provide talking material for the political gossips. One would imagine that for the time being at least the solo concern of all the politicians would be Mr. Eisen- hower's prospects of improving in health and getting back to the on- erous duties he has discharged so well and so honourably. But no. The news of the President's sudden ill- ness had been no sooner announced than some prominent Republicans began murmuring about what might happen in 1956, almost as though they deplore the possible political effects of the Presidentls illness more than the illness itself. At least they might have waited until his condition had shown definite signs of improvement before lamenting the expected decline in Republican prospects.

To the credit of Democratic leaders, it is to be noted that they have refrained from making predic- tlons of future events. although they are aware-just as the Republicans are--that with Mr. Eisenhower out of the running, a Democratic vic- tory in 1956 would have a better than even chance. In mind and spir- it the citizens of almost every coun- try in the world are keeping vigil at Mr. Eisenhower's bedside and praying for his recovery. What a pity, therefore, that some of his closest colleagues and advisers- but not, it is happy to note, either State Secretary Dulles or Vice-Pre- sident Nixon-have been unable to forget politics in this time of uni- versal anxiety!

Mr. Eisenhower has done enough already for the Republican Party. for his country, and for the whole world, to entitle him to freedom from political pressure in his time of illness and, please God, subsc- qucnl recuperation.

DROUGHT AND FLOODS

Sir. - I was intrigued with the following picture snent Formosa. as drawn in one of your editorial nntes recently: ”One of the biggest irrigation dams in the Far East is now under construction there. It will cost in the vicinity of 850 mil- lion, about half of which will be in the form of I United States long- term loan. When completed it will provide about 120 million kilowatt hours of electric power annually.

The two great problems in Formosa are periodical d r o u g h is and floods".

This rcaderls reaction to the above development does not stem directly from the prospect of the

availability of "120 million kilow-

watt hours of electric power annua- lly" which. after all, is to be weigh- ed against Canada's productivity of electric power. which exceeded 56 billion kilowatt hours in 1952, the latest figures available to me.

On the other hand, I see vast significance in the geographical location of the aforesaid develop- ment; i.e.. in terms of the growth bf the living standards of the not- so-Far East. and wider market horizons for the Greater Canada tomorrow?

That closing reference in "per- lodicaldroughts and floods"-recalls to this reader's mind the agricultur- al fact that this twin problem is by no means copyrighted by For- mosa. and that other heavily popul- alcd areas are likewise manacled to the lMunsoon' or he unpredic- ablc weatherman. on a 1feast or famine-' level. in other words. crop failure is always the situation somewhere in the world - the in- evitable exception to the Divine rule that lsccd-time and harvest shall not fail"?

l have no doubt that. perhaps within the 20th Century, world statesinanship. once released from its preoccupation with offensive or defensive war. will devise ways and means of ending regional fa- mine. growing from unfavorable weather in Formosa. India, or any- where. At any rate it is a social aim worthy of today's brotherhood and tomorrow's busier One World.

The Search For Lochnivar

Tliamu Murray ha The Edinburgh Scotsman

The traveller by road from Stran- raer to Newton-Stewart, negotiating the curves that precede and suc- ceed the bridge over the River Luce, and his vision further dis- tracted by a British Railways via- duct overhead, may have some ex- cuse for not. noticing the sign: ”Glenluce Abbey-Ancient Monu- merit." pointing along a leafy by- road.

Yet it would be a pity if. having seen the sign. he did not let his curiosity lure him the mere mile and a half off his way which is all he need travel.

As Scottish abbeys go, the Abbey of Glenluce is modest in size of its remains. It has a charming chapter-house. well-restored. an unusually large cloister-square. and little else but ruin, albeit pictures- que. around lt. It can never enter into architectural competition with the Border abbeys.

Its glory is its setting. Melrose Abbey has the town at its elbow; Kelso's is even more circum- scribed. But Glenluce Abbey stands at the head of as lovely a little valley as is to be found in all Galloway.

I first saw it on one of last summer's few good days. a day of warmth and stillness in early August. Sheltered to the north by hills, it lay open to the south and the sun. Around it spread fields, with woodlands beyond.

West of the abbey flowed the river-the "vallls lucis" of the monksotlirough gentle, unbroken count towards Luce Bay. Only a house or two in sight; only in my ears the voices of children at play., -

Happy, indeed. the Cistercian, thought, who found himself. shall we say, drafted from the parent abbey of Melrose to (lclnluce at its foundation in 1190. Just as the soldier ”on detachment" led a more unbulloned cxistcncc than his comrade at unit H.Q.. so the monks of Glenluce must havc known a gentler discipline than their brothers of Melrose. Any Ab- bot of Glenluce must have mellow- cd with the years as surely as the wlnc in his private cellar.

Of course. an abbey worth its salt must-have some appeal be- yond the more ecclesiastical or architectural. Mclrose has the heart of Brucc: Glcnlucc has a possession of a different sort. SHOCKED DISBELIEF

As we crossed the trim Ml'('l'll- ness of what had been the nave of the abbey. my guide pointed out a solitary recumbent grave- stone. ”Thal." he said, ”is the grave of Sir John Gordon-Young Lochinvar.”

My first emotion was shocked disbelief. All of us first met Young Lochinvar at school in the days of our youth, and somehow there- after he is placed with the im- mortals. Forever in our imagina- llon he rides all unarm'd and he rides nll alone. There Is sacrilege in the thought of him ever as ”Auld Lochinvar." Thai mortality could lay him in earth was incon- celvnble.

A lmle research. however. has led me to believe Young Lochinvar s personage ,, ” too elusive to be literally run to earth 'nl Glen-

Tlis Got-dons. though nowadays

The historian of the Gordon clan

places Young Lochinvar as having , lived in the mid-fifteenth century. l

but calls him Sir William. not Sir John, and leaves it at that. It is known that in the year 1545 the monks were driven from Glenluce Abbey by the storms of the Refor- mation, by which time Sir William Gordon might. indeed, have been buried there.

Or could it be that the mysteri- ous grave holds a Gordon of a gentler sort, the Rev. Robert Gor- don. of the early seventeenth cent- ury, who was styled Lord of Glen- luce, and might well have wished to be buried within the precincts of the abbey that bore his name?

It seems probably, however, that Lochinvar's exploit would have had time to pass into legend by the eve of Flndden, when the Lady Heron of Scott's "Marmion" sought to cheer the spirits of Queen Margaret by singing to her the ballad we all know.

Sir Walter drew his knowledge of Young Lochinvar from the more romantic source of the Border ballads. Yet it is baffling to find that. "though there are several ballad versions of the Lochinvar tale. not one of them throws any fresh light upon the hero's identity.

We learn that the heroine could have been Catherine Jeffrey of Traquair, and that the ”lag.r:ard in love" who was to wed her was either the English Lord Lyming- tan or the Scottish Lord Lauder- dale. but of Lochinvar himself wt- bave, again. only the tantalising information of his mysterious ap- pearance out of the West.

THE ART OF SCOTT

One is driven to remarking, in- Stead. with what art Sir Waller transmuted the rugged lmper. fectinns of these old Border songs. In one of them. the lady sends her, page to fclch Lochinvar with these words:

"Bid him mind the words be last spake

When we sundcred on the lea:

Bid him saddle and ride full fast.

If he he set for me"

And off ltocs the page. slapping at nothing. Thus: ”Wherc he fouml the brigs broken. llc bcnl his l)(lVl and sham, WI... nc found the grass grow-

ing, llr slackt his him and ran."

in Scott's version. the words have l)re!:cn from a lilt in a gallop. and it is the hon. not the page, who rides hrcakncck across country:

"lie staid not for brake. and he slnpp'd not for stunt-.

lle swam the Eske river where ford there was none."

Young Lochinvar, then. must re- main a romantic enigma more than half-hlddcn by the mists which swirl across the face of so much of Scottish history. He may have come. at the end. to a resting- plnce in the Abbey of Glenluce, but I like to think it is 'nsf.end.

i Medically Speaking

By lcnnnn N. Innduen. I. I. How Is. YOU! APPE'I'l'I'l

Do you eat your regular meals readily. or do you just lay with your food. or maybe pass III! HI- tire meals occasionally?

Anorexia, or loss of appetite. is a fairly common complaint among older folks.

Some elderly persons lose their sense of taste or smell. This in- terferes greatly with their up petites. Again, they may feel de- pressed and unhappy and lack the stimulus to eat. .

However. anorexia isn't confln to the elderly.

Many of you might suffer from this complaint because of gall- bladder trouble or disturbances of the stomach or bowel. In some cases. I monotonous diet or some emotional disturbance may keep you from eating properly. .

Unbalanced Diet

Now you know quite well that your health will suffer if your poor appetite continues.

Without an appetite, your diet might easily become unbalanced. You won't get enough. protein foods such as milk. eggs and meat. And the vitamins and minerals you need may be lacking as well.

Loss of appetite is just a symp- torn. But it is often an alarming one which requires the immed- iatn attention of your doctor. The cause may be serious or it may be due to a minor complaint.

Only after the cause of your trouble is found can proper treat- ment be started.

In addition to removing the cause, your doctor can prescribe vitamin and mineral preparations. He'll also advise planning the diet so that it will be tasty and wel- come. So-called tonics for stimul- ating appetites don't. have much value. as a rule.

However, here's one method of restoring the normal desire for food recommended by A great many doctors.

Begin the appetite training pro- gram with only one meal n day. at 8:00 a.m. and the other at 4:30 p.m. will work out better. The afternoon hour is picked because hunger is usually greatest around 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. and then lessens after 6:00 p.m.

Increase the amount of food in each meal only after the patient has eaten all the food served. As the amount of food is increased, you can gradually work the pro- sram into the normal three meals a day.
