The Scots-born CNR president said Robert Burns clearly under- stood the homely virtues needed today to mold the spirit of free- dom against evil and materialistic philosophies which deny individual ty. "Some wrters spend their time ferreting out salacious details which they attribute to Burns Mr. Gordon declared. "They want to know if he drank, or loved to excess. "They are the seekers after wooden legs, false teeth, and bad breath. 1 despise the trend." Mr. Gordon arrived in Oshawa at 415 pm. Saturday aboard his Private railway coach '"Bonaven- ure." VISITS FRIENDS The historic "Bonaventure" has on separate occasions sheltered Sir Winston Churchill, and a full meeting of the Canadian Cabinet. From the "Bonaventure," Mr. Gordon visited the home of W. A. Wecker, president of General Mo- tors of Canada Limited, to be en- tertained at an Informal gathering of close friends. Promptly at 6 p.m., Mr. Gordon entered UAW auditorium, preceded by two pipers in full regalia, to begin the ninth annual Burns' Sup- per, sponsored by the St. Andrew's Society of Oshawa. About 600 guests filled the audi- torilum to capacity, and tartan ties and sashes of many Scottish cians added bright color to the, ceremony. The Haggis, national dish of & Mr. Gordon expressed pleasure at the true scent of heather no- ticeable in the auditorium: Leading up to his toast the famous poet, Mr. Gordon in~ ed that Robert Burns was born in finding verty, and received no ormal education, yet during*his short 37 years on earth produced writing which remains immortal, "Few men have been as thor- oughly analyzed as Robert Burns," Mr. Gordon noted.

Burns' authorifative pen ke for Scotland, preaching T- hood of man, Mr. Gordon ted out, but also voiced humanitarian principles needed by all countries of the world. : "Love of country is the basis of all humanity," Mr. Gordon said. "Scots have learned to live with others: yet retain their na- tural qualities." "In Canada's harsh climate, they find the elemental challenge of their own bleak country, and also find room to breathe. "Love of tland in no wa disturbs their loyalty to Canada." Several of Burns' better-khown poems were quoted by Mr. Gor- don, who wrapped his tongue around the difficult dialect 'with native-born reijish, & His private secretary, Walter Smith, said that the presi- dent regarded these Burns" Sup- per affairs as high spots in his year, which afforded him a great deal of relaxation from an exact: ing job. Last year, Mr. Gordon spoke at a Burns' Supper in Saskatoon; in | Scotland, was piped to the head table by Donald MacLellan and] Guy Wilson, and the traditional "Ode to the Haggis" spoken by! Matthew Kerr. Following the main eourse, each of the guests was treated to a pinch of snuff from the mull, or goat's head. SPEAKER INTRODUCED Dr. Matthew Dymond introduced the guest speaker. "Donald Gordon is probably bet- ter known throughout the world than any other Canadian," said Dr, | Dymond. "Canadian National Rail-| ways owes the best five years of | its life to the leadership, vision, shetgy and enthusiasm of its presi- |ed 1954 at St. Johns, Newfoundland, and in 1953 Chicago, Illinois, Before raising his glass to toast The Immortal Memory," Mr. Gordon EY that the true flavor nal spirit of Burns and emo work was rarel, was reapprat in the light of a personal crisis in human experi- ence. In appreciation of Mr. Gordon's remarks, Alex C. Hall, QC, claim- that the Jrest speaker had captured absolutely the spirit, hu- mor and humanity of Robert Burns. "We were not listening to the president of Canadian National Railways," said Mr. Hall. "We were listening to another Scot, ry. and a lover of poet | Deaf Xi OP) Alte sd \ € iy with fluffy feathers is helping deaf The bird is part of equipment |at the Sunny View school in Tor- {onto where 85 deaf children are icarning to taik.

An official of a Toronto insur- ance company which engaged a Sunny View graduate télephoned the school three months later to inquire if any more graduates were available for positions. Miss Grant said parents of deaf children should seek help early. She said she knew of a 13-month- old baby who had learned to read lips. 'We don't teach children sign language," Miss Grant said.
