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. ontomlnister will fill a New York Pulpit during July. Rev. Dr. E. M. Aitl-ten of Hamilton, and Rev.

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.
