Ordered Away From Princess

LONDON (Reuters)—-The Daily Mirror says a young Montreal lawyer who danced with Princess Margaret in Vancouver and Ot- tawa has been asked to stay away from the. remainder of her Canadian tour.

The newspaper says John Tur- ner, 29, was requested not to see the‘princess after they had danc- ed together until 3 a.m. last Sun- day at the govennorwgeneral’s ball in Ottawa.

Turner had been invited to join the royal party at Harrington Lodge in the Gatineau Hills but instead went straight from Ot- tawa to Montreal, The Daily Mir- ror adds.

A close friend of Turner’s told The Daily Mirror “palace offi- cials were most perturbed. They felt any further meetings between the princess and John would carry a hint of a new royal ro- mance."

Islanders, Visitors Enjoy! Highland Events At Eldon

The haunting appeal of the Lament and the lively flirt of the kilt drew hundreds of Island- ers to Eldon yesterday to the an- nual Gathering of the Clans. With them or alone came hun- dreds more from all parts of Canada and more than a dozen States of the Union to the south.

Though the crowd was 'some- what lower in numbers than last year their diversity of origins Was greater as they came from Arizona and Quebec, Connecti- cut and Bitish Columbia. Ala- bama and"‘Newfoundland.

This year’s Highland Games of the Caledonia Club of P.E.I. 'were officially opened by Him. J. Angus MacLean, Federal Min- ister. of Fisheries. who came from Ottawa to officia-te. Him- self a Scotsman and an Islander, he briefly told the gathering some of the history of the spot on which they' were standing.

HISTORIC SITE

Mr. MacLean recalled that the historic site was where the Sel- kirk settlers had landed from the Polly and even before that had

been a French settlement the ancient cemetery of which may still be seen. The Minister also reminded the Scots present «that their celebration was being held only two days prior to the 155th anniversary of the arrival of the Polly from Scotland.

The guest speaker was intro- duced by Bruce MacLaren, pre- sident of the Caledonia Club, who presided throughout the day. In charge of the athletic part of thegames was Brig. W. W. Reid. D.S.O.

The enthusiasm of the large entry list of dancers was match- ed by that of Mrs. Elizabeth MacGowan, Montague, who judgé ed the ‘open’ competition. She expressed her opinion that the games were rapidly working up to be the biggest in the Mari- times “and there is no reason why they should not be the big- gest in all Canada”. She was amazed at the perfection shown by dancers going through the in- tricate steps of the Highland Fling and other typical Scotch performances. The performers in the open class of sword dancing
