IIACLEAN OF DUART

The many descendants of the l-lobr ridean pioneers in this l“ vince will have road with interest s. brief reference, some weeks ago. to the celebration at Duart Castle, Isle of Milli, of the hundredth birthday an- nlversary of Sir FitllRcy Donald Maclean of Dual-t, chieftain of the Olen Maclean. The London Week- ly Times features the event as of special interest. Clansmen, it re- ports, were in attendance from all par-ts of the United Kingdom, from the Dominions and the United states, from France and Scandin- avia. It was a gala event. While the aged chief aat in an upper room, the hundreds of clansmen drank loyal toasts ln his honour. Each re- ceived a portion of a huge birthday cake which’ was adorned with s hundred candles. In the evening‘ a. bonfire was lit on a. ‘high promon- tor-y in Mull, and there was a fire- worb display. The King and Queen sent cordial birthday greetings, and two volumes, ung the signat- ures of nearly 4,000 Maeleans in all parts of the world, were presented.

Of the recipient of these tributes the Times says: Sir FitnRoy Mac- lean is one of the most romantic ngures in Bcotiand today. When he was seventeen his commission in

the 7th Dragoon Guards was slgn-_

ed by ths Duke oi’ Wellington, and heiscnoofthsfew survivorsof those who took part in the Crimean campaign. He was awarded the lebsstsxxrl Medal for conspicuous bravery at the Biege of Bebastopol. Twenty-Hues, your Iso he zcrbcm- ed his youthful pledge to recover and rmore iDusrt Castle, the ances- trsl home of the Macleans, which for more than :00 years had been out of thepcssenion or his family.

The ‘llimu publishes a fine son- net by the Celtic poet, Shane Leslie. “lb The Maicleen of Duart," which well merits quotation:

The ex- ' pcsuro occurred at the last session of the Legislature. when Premier MacMillan cited a Patriot report of a Liberal political meeting at York last November, in which Mr. Les was quoted as saying: ‘The did- ference between the two Govern- ments was that the Liberal Gov- ernment had balanced their bud- gets."

WHY FINLAND PAYS

On June 15‘ war debt payments were due to the United States and. as has happened regularly at six- month intervals for a year-or two. no country paid up except Finland. Once again, notes the Winnipeg Free Press, as regularly at six- month intervals, Finland is getting bouquets in the American press as the only honest country in a. com- pany of welchers. There was even a news item from Washington the other-nay announcing gravely that the United states senate, in recog- nition of Finland's performance, had voted for a new $800,000 Amer- ican ‘ buildimg at l-Ielslng- fors.

Thetrue explsfltion of Finland's unique with regard to war debts, says the Free Press, has, as a matter of fact, nothing to do with honor, integrity or any other moral issues. Finland has practical- ly shut out American goodsby tar- iffs. Finland used to buy more than it sold in the United States, but latterly it has reversed that posi- tion. Now it sells more than it buys and annually has a balance of three toslxmilliondollsrsowingtoltin American funds. All Finland has to dofopayitstr-lflingwardebt in_ stalmsuts is refrain from collecting about $00,000 of that balance each year. lit simply uses rather less than 10 per cent of its trading credit to wipe out the war obligation.

when We study the figures show- ing the number of cases o! cancer that occurred in former years with the nunmer tc-day it shows that a greater number dis from cancer to- day than ever before in the worldfis history.

It comes as a surprise. then to learn that notwithstanding these figures, cancer is nctreally increas- ing when we compare the number 01' 980911: in the world who are at the “cancer age" with those of this age thirty-five years ago.

Thus we road in the Jouhial of the ll ‘ Medical Association gthatr the Vienna investigator Dr. Peller whohas made an extensive study of the question states that the "apparent" increase in concer ls due to the marked increase in the lwrvsrage" age of the population.

The progress cf hygiene which has greatly reduced the number of eases of small pox, typhoid and cholera, and lessened the death rate in tuberculos‘ and children's dis- eases, has broirght about an increase ln the number of people who live up to and past middle age. These hyg- ienic methoda have increased the life span by fifteen years during the period of 1900 to 1935.

In 1900 there were 135 persons more than 50 years old per thousand of the population; by 1980 the num- ber had iucreased to 205. This means then that there are now 80 more individuals in each one thou- sand who are at the cancer age than there were thirty or more years ago.

The cancer age is middle age, 40 to 60, and the figures show that in 1901 to 1906 the number of deaths from cancer at the ago of 40 to 50 was about 15 to the thousand of population and in 1928-1929 the

r was about 11. ln i901 to 1905 the number of deaths at the age of 50to 60 was about 4B and in 1928-1929 the number was about 40.

Thus while the cause of cancer is unknown these figures show that the newer me“ ’ of examination which find cancer sooner than in previous years, and the present methods of treatment-X ray, rad- ium, and surgery-are preventing sn increase in cancer when the actual number of men and woman of cancer age is taken into consider- ation.

These figures are encouraging and will stimulate work in seeking the cause of umcer. ‘ '
