E. Gorman of St. Gabriel's Church here, discloses the fact that, al. though a wooden building was erected after the arrival of the Rev. John Bethune from Montreal in 1787, the first Preshylerian Church in Upper Canada was built at Willlamstown, near Lan- caster in 1804-1805. The dis- about as a result of recent cor respondence in the editorial pnges of a local paper, To understand how this docu- ment along with many others re- lating to the early struggles of the Scottish Preshyterians in Cgnada, fell into the hands of the Catholic Church one musi turn haek the pages of history more than a hundred years. Ac- cordinz to Father Gorman, the Bev. John Bethune had heen chaplain to the first battalion of the Royal Highland * Emigraut Pegiment and when the regiment war disbanded he organized n Presbyterian congregation in Moontreal, In 1787, however, ha received the grant of land ap- propriate to his rank in the army equivalent to that of Capta'n tnd was apportioned 3,000 acres ir Glengarry. He moved with pis family to Williamstowa and thers continued the practie ol pie profession. When in later years some lit- fle dispute had arisen he ween Jiethune and his parishioners the difficulty was submitted 'o their Catholic neighbor, the famous Bishop Macdonell, who was him- geil a Scot. This precedent ap- pears to have become a practice, for Father Gorman believes the present document now in Ca. thelie hands came there hy way of some disagreement in the mat- gop Maedonnell seems to have sinoothed over. IROQUOIS SEARCH FOR ANCIENT LORE Invoke Aid of 'Washington Savant To Learn About Old Laws Washington.--Desperately an- xious to return to the customs of an earlier day, but incapable of recalling what those customs were, Iroquois Indians living in Ontario have forwarded an earnest plea for help to Dr. J. B. N. Hewitt, ethnologist of the Smithsonian Institution here. It is believed that Dr. Hewitt, a lifelong student of Indian languages and manners, is the only living man who possesses written copies of the old Iro- quois laws and ceremonials, which constituted the political system of the Six Nations confederation, The Canadian red men, who wish to return to their earlier ways, live on a reservation of some 60,000 acres near Brant- ford, and number about 6,000. They belong to the tribes which once made up the powerful Six Nations group, the Onondagas, Mohawks, Senecas, Oneidas, Cay- ugas and Tuscaroras, When the confederation was at its prime and the Iroquois were considered an especilally ad- vanced group of Indians, the main features of their highly specialized form of government and social order were the tracing of descent through the female line, votes for women, the dele- gation of power to a council of equal chiefs and a penal code which ruled out private venge- ance. Clear recollection of these things by the surviving Indians apparently has been lost, accord- ing to the appeal received by Dr. Hewitt, Males have taken rank as the head of family lines, in conformity with. the country's custom. Despite their seeming advance, it is the males who now yearn to return to the old ways. Oral Tradition Lost The old laws and usuages have been lost because they were al- ways handed down by word of mouth from generation to gen- eration. Though the pix tribes have complex dialect, including a terrifying system of verb con- jugation, they have no writings and always depend upon memory to keep their code alive. Long ago it began to break down and today, among the Indians on the Brantford reservation, only the oldset and wisest seniors are said covery of this information came | ter of the new church which Bis | to have even a hazy recollection of the system. But scholarly, white-haired Dr, Hewitt knows it in its entire- ty, 'and seems to be the only man' who does. Thirty years ago he made an extended visit with the Six Nations tribesmen of Canada, and took down the testi- mony of the old chiefs with the best memories, Indians are not a talkative race and he recalls that it was a job requiring patience. Line by line, though, he got the story, and it now reposes in his office, in the form of 200,000 typewrit- ten words in the Indian language. Dr. Hewitt knows the dialects of all six of the tribes. Though the Smithsonian In- stitution was established for "the diffusion of = knowledge," Dr. Hewitt doubts whether this pur- pose can be construed as requir. ing him to help in the restora- tion of a dead political system in a foreign country, and does not believe he will be able to grant the request of the Indians. He also doubts the feasibility of the plan, since the Indians are now living under a simple and orthodox form of rule, introduced by the Dominion Government in 1924, following a complete break- down of the tribal system, Most of the braves have accepted the new regime, and only a few of the older ones dream of bringing back the good old days. In the circumstances, and also because of technical difficulties involved, Dr. Hewitt does not believe he can accept the task, Women Held Power The central feature of the ancient code, as Dr. Hewitt de- scribes it, was the {importance given to women, They alone had votes. They elected male chiels as well as chieftainesses. The chieftainesses could depose male chiefs who proved to be backslid- after three reprimands in | line, with a special formula had been administered. The primeval rule of family vengeance, which led to perpetual blood feuds, was replaced among the Six Nations by a system of fines. A tribesman who killed another could expiate the crime by paying the aggrieved family 20 strings of wampum, ten for the murdered man's and ten to preserve his own. For a woman's life the penalty was 40 strings, a fine which would put a severe strain on any family's wampum reserves, « Dr. Hewitt's records show the law on these and other points, the formulas used at the induc- tion of chiefs and on other State occasions, the rules governing family relations and the religious doctrines of the tribes. He pro- poses to translate and publish all these. Though the Ontario Iroquois may not have him as a tutor, they may read his book, Dr. Hew- itt points out, and then decide whether, after all, they prefer the earlier ways, There seems to be a possibility that their zeal will decline when they are reminded about 'the power of the chieftain- osses, NORTH SASK.

The rest is not likely to be such a heartening job. At least half-a-dozen 'girls flashed flying feet at Wetaskiwin, Alta., during the Canadian championships earlier this month and any one of them might de- velop by next year into an inter- pational star, Two, in particu- lar, stood out as sprinters of ex- ceptional ability, apparently al- | ready ripe for competition in amy | company. But Wetaskiwin fail- ed to produce a single field per- | former of better-than-ordinary rating, There seems to be no | successor to versatile Fanny | Rosenfeld. : Three sprinters stand today as | top-heavy favorites to make!' places on the Dominion's Olym- | pic team, They are Mrs, Myrtle Cook-McGowan, of Montreal, Lil- | I'an May, of Montreal, and Bea- trice Gillespie of Edmonton. The present season has made Miss May and Miss Gillespie champ- inng-- successors to Mrs Cook- McGowan for the time being, gt least. Winner of the three Can- adian sprint titlex a year ago, Mrs, Cook-McGowan let them g® hy default and her fleet protege, Miss May, captured the only two she tried for. Miss Gillespie, who came to the Wetaskiwin meet totally unher- alded, went away with the inter- mediate titles and a powerful sen to wear a Maple Leaf at the next Olympiad. Her triumphs were as impressive as thoss of Miss May in the senior class. Her 100-metre win, a record- equalling affair, was staged io faster time than Miss May mau- aged in capturing the open cen- tury. Miss Gillespie ran the dis- tance in 12 3-5 seconds, one-fifth of a second better than the Mon- treal miss clocked. - Not far behind the two tueet leaders were three easterners and a second Edmonton star, who may turn the tables by next spring. . Elsie Proctor, Ottawa's 15-year-old sensation, was beaten by Miss Gillespie, but the fair- haired, frail little speedster may casily become her superior.

Mary Vandervleit, of New Lisk- eard, Ont, was only beaten by {aches in the senior 100 metres final and took second in the 200. Untrained and a noor starter, the northern Ontario girl's future de- pends on the sort of ecoaching she is able to get. Edmonton's gecond-best threat 1s Charlotte Daws, who won the senior C0 me- tres at Wetaskiwin. Miss Daws took the 60 metres Cenadian record from Mrs. Cook McGowan, running the dash in 7 8.5 seconds. Miss May TYe- lieved the former champion of her 200 metre mark. But Mrs. Cook-McGowan, will be back next simmer for the Olympic-year track battles and it is expected Lillian Palmer, of Vancouver, winner of the intermediate sprints in 1930, also will make a nme back. *Cnlcss Ethel Catherwood shows a suprising reversal of form the Do- minion's field squad will lack most of its point-scoring punch, Miss Ca- therwood, Olympic champion at Amsterdam in 1928, and unbeaten since she flared out of Saskatoon five years ago to become the "Sask- atoon Lily" until the Wetatiawin hampionships, took a beating by any Wade, of Medicine Hat, Al- ta., and Jessie Gillies, of Calgary. Miss Wade won the high jump at four feet, 10%2 inches --five in- ches under Miss - Catherwood's world s record. But her supporters believe the Medicine Hat athlete can do better, Miss Catherwood was not in good condition, being handicapped by an injured knee. She retained her javelin throw title but the Toronto beauty is not rated a strong Olympic threat with the pole. : . Outstanding in weight events, Jean Godson, of Toronto, may carry what hopes Canada has in the shot t and baseball throw to California. er 3l-foot toss in the shot put is far from the best she can do. But Miss Godson will not be able to replace Miss Rosenfeld, sprinter, weight-thrower, broad-jumper and hurdler. The Dominion at the mo- ment doesn't seem to have even a group of athletes capable of replac- ing the Toronto ace.
