'The Late Mr. Barlow

, This Province has lost a fine citizen 77, in the passing of Professor Percy “.5 Barlow, retired manual training in-

}: structor for the city schools. Mr. Bar- low was known to generations of v students, not only for his ability in his own particular field, which was outstanding, but for his wide know- "1 ledge and experience, his genial'per- sonality and high standards of ethics, 1;. gentlemanliness and courtesy. He taught by example as well asby pre- 1cep’r, and the lessons he inculcated 33] were invaluable to all who were priv- j ileged to receive them. . '

, é Up dntil his recent illness, Mr. Bar- .Il low continued to take a keen interest

1‘" in the activities of the, youngergen- , eration, and was a familiar spectator at their sports and other pastimes. “ Always quiet and unassuming, his in- fluence nevertheless was felt wher- {4 ever he went. His remarkable mem- ‘l cry for names and faces of boys who lhad passed through his hands—who f}: had themselves become fathers and even grandfathers in many cases—-

‘ was traditional; but to him it seem- ed quite natural - because teaching 1 was for him not a chore to be done- but s vecation in the true sense of the

Presidency of the Archbishop of Cain-

ference for the various Churches

:which make up the Anglican Corn-

munion. This is not so. The Lambeth

' is not s legislative body in any sense.

It is purely a consultative assembly

of (Anglican) Archbishops; and,

, Bishops from around the world.

Doubtless, deliberations of the Gon-

ference do have an influence on cer-

tain internal policies of the various_ autonomous Churches, but they do “

(not have any legislative force.

Each Church of the “Anglican

I‘Communion” has the right of selfg

; government and practises it rigidly-

subject, of course, to the ancient

creeds and formularies. The Arch. bishop of Canterbury has jurisdic-

‘ tion only in his own Province. While

he is recognized at the Primate of the

x Church of England—that is to say,

:of the Church of England in Eng-

l,land—-—he has no legal authority in,

‘Issy, the Protestant Episcopal Church

",in the United States, the Episcopal

‘Church of Canada. He is “primus ,linter pares,” by virtue of the histori-

‘Ilesl importance of his See, nothing

more.

CanadianhAmerIcan‘ Ties , A practical suggestion for the "strengthening of Canadian-American ; ties, especially in theeconomic field, . has been put forward by Senator "l George D. Aiken, Republican, of Ver- 1mont. ‘

In a Senate speech, Mr. Aiken lpredicted that “social, econbmic and political fortunes of the two nations will become more closely interlocked min the next 20 years”. In order to make the relationship as satisfactory as possible to people on both sides of the border, Senator Aiken suggested >. that the United States Congress and :the Canadian Parliament should es- lahlish “re‘ciprocal sub-committeeS” ;%I,hal would meet from time to time “gto discuss matters of common inter- :l‘est. This, of course. has been men~ ’ iioned before. In fact, there have

after the preparation, was injected;

,vacc’iine could cause damage to the '_

the two countries to discuss specific issues, such as American tariff in- crease and embargoes on certain Canadian (products. Senator Aiken’s idea—and it seems to be a good one —is that there should be consulta- tion not only when some specific problem arises but periodically so as to ease petty differences before they have time to develop into serious . ones. .

~With respect to supplies of “mu-‘ tually produced items” such as wheat, oil, lead and zinc, Senator Aiken be- lives that the two nations “would do well to consider such supplies as a single stockpile in the sense of s co-operative understanding relating to production, stockpiling and dis- posal’g’. This, too, appears to have merit. Certainly, that would be the procedure in the event of war. There would seem to be no good reason why, with a little give and take’ on each side, it could not work to mutual ad- vantage at all times.

Anything that might help to keep the United States and Canada on good terms is worth trying. The im- portant thing is mutual respect, a genuine desire (m the part of each nation to recognize the problems of the other.

There are five parishes, namely, Point Prim, St. Louis . (Scotcbfort), St. Peters, Malpeque (at Low Point) and the Parish of 'port Laj'oie (Fort Amherst). The priest (Gratien Raoul) of Fort Am herst had disappeared as had the most valuable of the officers’ ef- fects the day before he landed. The priests of St. Peter’s (Rev.

Pierre CaSsiet) had been sent in the first transports, those of Point Prim, and Malpeque he expected to send out now.” (Jean Biscarat / was drowned with many of his parishioners and the crew in the ship “Violet,” off the coast of England. Pierre C-assiet landed in France and for many yea-rs was the rector of the famous shrine of, NotreDamc of Betharram, near Lourdes, where he died at 93 years of age. Father Jacques Girard of Point Prim was on the famous ship “Duke William” with 400 Acadians. The tragic story of his landing at Penzance, England, is found in “Remarkable Voyages and Ship- wrecks’ by .Barrington. Father Joseph — Sylvestre Dosquc. pastor of Malpeque escaped to Quebec.

SENATE AT WATCHDOG ,

The Senateis too often brushed off as being an ineffective bunch of old fuddy-duddlies..But that su- perficial criticism does scant jus- tice to the excellent work done by Senate Committees, when four or five outstanding Senators time after time hoist one of their com~ nuttees far above the level ac- hieved by any Commons commit— tee. One such was the Senate Finance Conun-ittee, especially in the years 19511301955 when Sen- ator Crerar was chairman of it.

‘He kept that conunlttee hound ving after the twin evils of infla- tion and high taxes, which were shown to stem from . the then Government‘s neckless , extrava- gance in large measure.

In the eyes of the Crerar com- mittee, the worst manifestation of this government extravagance,

The Canadian Boot Son

"The Edinburgh Scotsman

The haunting second verse of the Canadian Boat Song has no doubt been sung often and with

,great feeling during the current

Skye Week.

It is, very' naturally, a great tourist asset to Skye, evoking as it does the very spirit of the Hebrides. ,

But its origin has for long been a matter of controversy—which is revived again by B. H. Humb~ 1e (Dunbartonshire) who after very close research has this to say about it:

Five books have been written

'about it and only two of them

claim the same author. Altoge- ther eight names have been list- ed as possible authors.

‘ DISCOVERED ’

The mystery arose because the song was not “discovered” till 50 years after its first appearance, by which time those concerned

had long vanished from the

scene, or, to quote Neil Munro, “the’song which misfired in 1829‘ became a battle hymn of Scot— tish Land Reformers in 1885." Possibly the song would be un- known to-day had not Joseph Chamberlain quoted these lines in the course of a political address at Inverness in 1885: “From the lone shieling on the misty island Mountain's divide world of seas, But still our hearts are true— our hearts are Highland And in our dreams we see the Hebrides. all are these mountains and these woods are grand But we are. exiles from our Fatherland.” According to a contemporary account “the excitement of the audience was great and the ef—

HUGE PEACETIME GROWTH.

that the civil service contained-

But bheu—stmprise. Instead of shrinking as the extra wartime work was gradually eliminated, the civil service fatth and swelled, until today it stands at over 190,000. In other it has expanded more in recent peacetime years; than in those busy years of war.

The search for the authoi‘ started. The words were dis- covered with four other verses in an article in “Blackwood’s Maga- zine” in 1829. At that time the chief feature of the magazine- was a discussion in each issue by a group of. literary folk. The verses were included in such a discussion so the author must be one of the group.

The group—a very distinguish- ed one—consisted of the editor, Professor John Wilson, who used the pen name of Christopher Nor: th, John Galt (author of “Annals of the Parish”), James Hung (the “Ettrick Shepherd”). J. G. Lockhart (Sir Walter Scott’s son in-law), Dr. William Dunlop and Dr. D. B. Mair.
