STATSMM, -E- . ý-- . . , o- A OT U SAY i tU by ULUlE CARRUTREES LUNNET SCOTLAND ABROAD Do. you rernember those beau- tiful Scottish dances in the short feature which preceded the Boishai Ballet film? The gaiety, the interesting orngin of the dances, the perfection o! the performances, the stately grace o! the dance performed in the ballroom of an ancient Scottish castle--all cornbined te thill the Scottish heart, howcver many generatiens re- maved from Scotland. But the r beauty, grace and poignancy o! the rnusic and traditional dances thrilled rnany other hearts as well. Vie thought of this film again as we read ail the tributes ta Robbie Burns last weekend, and we thought that it is a very interesting thing that the pocrns and sangs writtcn in a f ew ye*~rs <he died at 37), in the l8th centurY, should stili be so enthusiastically rcad, quoted, and sung. More particularly since his work is rnainly in a dialect foreigcn to many. lt doesn't seem ta matter. The truths, the humour, the satire, survive the centuries as the work o! the gifted always does, I and the swectness, the gaiety or the sadness of the sangs stil &tirs the heart as rnuch as ever -perhaps because humans haven't really changed much, despite the trappings o! a di!- ferent age. These sangs o! Burns, and Inany another Scottish air, we would like ta hear more often. 'theY werc written fram the heart, and they reach it still ta knov that more people than elVer are celebratîng Burns' birthday. and that the livel, and lovcly Scottish dances are being kept alive by societies, particularly in the Maritimes. LITTLE KNOWN In a talk with Mr. Jamnes Rickaby of Taranto following his address at the Men's Cana- dian Club., ve were interested ta hear what he had ta say about Mr. W. J. Morrison, for many vears Superintendent of the School for the Deaf at Belleville, and who was prin- cipal of Bowmanville High School from 1919 to 1929. Mr. Rickaby has been a tea- cher of the deaf sînce 1939, with tirne out for war service. Mr. Morrison engaged him at the Belleville school and about hlm. Mr. Rickaby says, "Very few people know the magnitude or the importance of the work Mr. Morrison has done in the field of teaching the deaf." Mr. Morrison believed that deaf children should be taught or- ally, that in this wvay theïr mninds could be opened up zso that they could realize the pos- sibilities o! education and be- corne normal people. In this and other ideas he stuck to his guns in the face of opposition and disagreement, and he has been vindicated. This method is now used throughout Ontario and the results are splendid. "It is a great pity that so few peo- ple know what Mr. Morrison did and what he achieved," said Mr. Rickaby. "He should have an .E. Vie didn't know anything about this, and probably a greut many a! you didn't either. Cer- tainly, one would flot hear -)f the importance cf his achieve- ment from Mr. Morrison. He would be interested in the cause and its benefit to hundreds of deaf children, but we do flot sec him putting himself in the spotlight, and that is probab~y why we, outside the profession. knew littie or nothing abolit it. So here's a salute ta you, Blackstock United Church Reports Balance on Hand BLACKSTOCK: Tuesday ev- ening was a busy evening in Blackstock. It was district lodge iight, executive meetings o! O.

TBLEPMONB .gg~ Mr. Mornison, frani at least one smaU setion o! the public. 0 0 * NOTES And speaking cf recognition, how plea.sed we were ta sec the Queen had conferred a "Sir" on Alec Guinness. Vie imagine this recognition o! a fine tal- ent pleased rnany play and mo- vie geers; perhaps even the democratic United States would- n't mind, for they have a very high opinion o! Alec Guinness, even if their recognition came rather late. It was really "The Bridge on the River Kwai" which made hais reputatien soar in the US. Strange that they had not recagnized his talent in other films, or credited his reputation on the British stage. Incidentally, this rnovie is cam- ing ta the Ro yal in Bowman- ville, Feb. 7 ta 11. You should- n't miss it. Vie know we've mentioned Sornerset Maughamn recently, but he bears frequent men- tion. Vie like what he said in an interview with Philip Toyn- bec: "What vou have ta rernern- ber about me is that 1 arn a relie cf the Edwardian era. It rnay seemn very old-fashioned ta you, but I believe in story- telling." Cheers and huzzahs for Maugharn. Oh that a story, for its own sake, would again re.- ceive proper respect in the lit- erary wonld. Mr. Maugham finds propa-1 ganda in a story boring. Hie daes net think it belongs there, but elsewhere. A goad tale is its own excuse. Vie think many, many rcad2rs today agree with Maugham. By propaganda he means politics or philosophy, neither of which he thinks is suitable material for the genti- mne storyteller.

The purpose of the Books is: lst,- Ta record local History ; 2nd-To give expres- sion of talent: 3rd-To get us back to thinking. Vie should strive to be ar- tistie, interesting and indivi- dualistic in making aur books. jThey are valuable, authentic and historical records charac- teristic to our own particular area in Ontario. Mrs. Viaiker suggestecl the. type of book mast suitable and materials ta use. She gave us many ideas where ta obtain in- formation pertaining ta aur district. Mrs. Viaiker started us thinking about the many chan- ges taking place in aur cern- munities which should be re- corded. Progréss Is beinst made wt rapid strides in farming rneth- cds and this rmeans stonies and pictures for aur Hiatany Books. Our schoals, churches, commun- ity centres, clubs, etc., al should have their places in our books.
