"The Hitzhland Heat" in Nova

Scotia" rsaundersl is the story of

a. ﬁerce. but. wistful and kindly Hebridean people. transplanted from the misty isles to Canada 150 years azo.

More speciﬁcally. it deals with

a Cane Breton island community. described with the authority of a scion of the ancient. and proud Clan MncNeil. Scottish legend has it that the MacNeils descended from Niall of Scythia. a minister to the Eltvlltinn Pharaoh. who Rave his name to the river Nile. Author Nell MaoNeil. an editor of the New York ‘limes. spent his hflvhﬂod VPRFS iti Cape Breton‘: Washabuckt. to which his ancest. on led a hand of immigrants. The book abounds with earthy anecdotes. told with the minute attention to detail of the ace newspaper man. A host of pithy characters come to life at the stroke of his nen. such as "Little R01‘?! the Bnckhmise." so named because he was the first in Wash- sbtuokt to erect such a structure The author's longing for Cape Breton is enhanced when he tells of Weshabuckt-‘s nostalgia for the Hebrides. expressed in sono and story at "frolics" and at work. He extols with faint humor the days of ‘his own clsn’s greatness. when a herald would proclaim in rltaelic nightly from Klsimttil Cris. t e:

"Hear. oh ye copies! Listen. oh ve nations! The great. MacNetl of Berra has finished his dinner. Tb- other princes of the earth "iev now dine."

Herring liaa been busy for months telling all who will listen that the "fate of the world will

ited States can defend Alaska." He bases hiuconcern “on what I have observed in the territory since I came out of the navy in Worll War I. and on simple logic." "Alaskans are among the best- read people on earth." says Her- ring. "because of long winters and lack of entertainment. Up hero you learn to think, and think straighc. or you don't last long."

Alf Madsen. who has been guid- ing sportsmen on the trail of Ko~ diak bear since 1928. says:

"I don't know much abolit these things." says Alf. "But 1 know what I feel. and it scares me. I don't see how we could keep the, Russians from coming in here l! they wanted to. They are commit- ted to a policy of tyorld domination. Only the United States now stands in the way. and Alaska is a na- tural springboard."

“The best route of invasion." s-ys Herring, "lies across the Bering. Straits and south throulh Alaska and Canada. This is the Russian secret weapon. It is an ace up the Russian sleeve. And at the present‘ time that route is wide open. Am- erican defences in Alaska are neg- ligible." '
