HAPPENINGS

The ,Byre Theatre in Scotland, the Theater Workshop in Eng- land and the Prince Edward Is- land Drama Festival all make great contributions to the Drama.

Canada of course, gives the con- tribution of a younger civilization. However, Canadians must not form the habit of speaking too deprecatingly of their y0l1thf“I position in the arts.

To offset this they must remem- ber that they have the youth, pul- sating with life and are making history of many kinds — not the least of which is drama.

Through time actual performan- ces can be largely forgotten, but the benefits of dramatic work last a lifetime.

In fact in studying the drama, one is truly handed the keys of a kingdom and with Miranda can exclaim: "O brave new world that’ has such wonders in it."

Mr. Roderick MacDonald, man ager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Halifax, and his son Robert, Mr. Somerled MacDonald, Boston, Mr. Cyril MacDonald, Montreal, and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Corbett who were in the province to attend the 100th birthday of their father and grandfather, Dr. Roderick MacDonald, have returned to their homes. Dir. Roddie is in his usual good state after the birth- day “celebrations.-

About ten years ago a Prince Edward Island person was ask-

to give a talk on the wonder- ful doctor to a group of young women medical doctors in Toron- to. At that time Dr. Roderick wrote some very interesting me- moirs of his early days. The whole tenor of the memoirs was in courtly and dignified style. However. the doctor ended his remarks in facetious mood much- to the delight of the young med- icos: “Tell the charming young ladies that after their studies I can still teach them the MacDon- ald reel." ,,

Among Dr. Roderick MacDon- ald’s birthday visitors were mem- bers of the Burke family. They Dlayled the pipes for the doctor and Heather and Tommy perform- o_d Highland dances and sang Gae he songs. The talent and visit of this remarkable family was very much appreciated by the beloved Dr. Boddie.

“But it will help" James com- mented turning away to his work. He sets himself tasks. This art- ternoon it was to clean stables at barns over the fields, the manure to be picked up soon by the power-lift to the spreader and taken off to a field. He was a cog in the wheel of the cropping, an integral one, it came to mind.

“I’m not going to hurry at it —-‘I'm going to take my time” he promised himself and us, as he set out by field to walk the near- mile between. The older dog, “Blaickie” raven - coated, trotted along beside. We Sa)W them go- up the gentle rise of farm-lane which leads away from the build- ings, and lost them a while in the distance leyond.

What items of the farming James would note on the way! The catch on a piece of new mea: dow? Aye, and the promise — or’ not, of hay on those older; the condition of this and that field waiting a ‘turn to be cultivated, along which his footsteps should lead. . . The maple grove may now vﬁth new leatings, for he in- variably finds something to ad- mire in its varying changes of appearance through the seasons; the ripeness of a piece of stump- land for clearing. And certainly, for we later saw him pause there in the pasture against a far hill- side, the state of health and “do‘- ings” of the youn»g’uns of cattle come now to “the grass?’
