'MacNeil' Dedicates Life By JOSEPH MacSWEEN CASTLEBAY, Barra (CP)-- When Noah offered to save the MacNeils from the Biblical Flood, he was told in Gaelic: "Thanks just the same, but we have a boat of our own." This yarn was related with chuckles by Robert Lister Mac- Neil, 74 - year - old clan chief, when he showed a Canadian re- porter around ancient iKsimul Castle, which he has dedicated his life to restoring The MacNeil, as he is called, obviously takes pride in the fiercely independent reputation of his sea-roving ancestors who from time immemorial ruled Barra, 35-square-mile isle in the Outer Hebrides off northwest Scotland. MacNeil, from St. whose father was Stephen, N.B., has _written Castle in the Sea, a his- tory of Barra and his clan with emphasis on Kisimul, a square- towered fortress nearly 1,000 years old. Proceeds from the book will go toward further restoration of the castle, a project begun by the chief in 1937 when he bought the granite edifice after it had been out of MacNeil hands for 100 years NEW RESIDENT Brought up in the United States and a New York archi- tect for many years, MacNeil declared: "'All my life Barra has been instilled in my heart and mind as the place to be. ... I love the land as passion- ately as a native" But MacNeil, who has trav-| To Restore Castle of Clan said 43-year-old Hugh Mcrrison, Castlebay postmaster. Morrison, in his stone- floored Oific A' Phuist (post of- fice), where Gaelic is the lan- guage of business, told of the hardships of wresting a living from the sea and from the rocky crofts, or tiny farms, where seagulls and sheep forage side by side. TWIST IN BARRA Why did the Barra people go in such numbers? "From where you stand, you can see 10,000 reasons why," said one dour old crofter, re- ferring to the rocks. "But they kept the Gaelic over there," he added proudly. 'We've seen copies of the last Gaelic periodical, Mac - Tala (Echo), that was published in Cape Breton." Barra's bunker - like stone cottages, roofs of turf and thatch and walls only five or six feet high have withstood At- lantic gales for centuries. But AD MAN AND PARTNER By BOB TAYLOR ST. MATHIAS, Que, (CP)--A former Winnipeg designer and an Australian advertising copy- writer find themselves being forced into the antique business in this village near Montreal. "People keep dropping into our house to admire the furni- ture, then talk us into selling various pieces," says Norman Woodburne, 29. 'Vince and I find we're gradually being changed from enthusiastic ama- teur collectors into full-fledged antique dealers." Mr. Woodburne, the Austral- ian, became friends with Vin- cenzo Maruco, 31, through a mutual taste for early Cana- diana. They agreed one evening that their Montreal apartments didn't provide an authentic set ting for their collections. "What we needed," says Mr. Maruco, a display consultant at Would Rather Make $ Than Give Up Hobby one of Montreal's exclusive fashion houses, "was an 18th- or 10th-century house." One day after a visit to nearby Jacques de Granby His- toric Village on Highway 1, they drove into this community just across the Richelieu River from Fort Chambly, RESTORED HOUSE There it was--a 150-year-old house with a fanlight over the front door and traditional multi- paned windows. They decided to buy. In their spare time during the next two years and with the help of professional craftsmen, they restored the two - storey, stone-and-timber house. The two bachelors furnished it with such antiques as a cher- rywood dining - room set, four- poster beds, corner cupboards, maple blanket-chests, glass or- naments from Upper and Lower they haven't been able to keep out all traces of so-called mod- ern culture. One night there was an "'over- 30s dance" in Caslebay. Asked how dances came to be segre- gated By age-groups, one 17- year-old local lass replied re- sentfully : "The older ones used to laugh} at our dancing, especially the twist."' Just who introduced the twist) blessing is out of Barra's range.

Pretty soon people were making the 20-mile drive from Montreal on | weekends just to take a look." "Not just weekends," Mr. Maruco recalls, "'An American couple drove up in a_ station) wagon one Tuesday night just as we were eating dinner, They left with our six dining-room chairs, a set of carved curly maple." CHANGE OF PACE Why the interest in antiques? With both of them involved in the world of women's fashions, they find their working hours filled with '"'What's new?" and "'What's in vogue?" "With antiques as our hobby," isays Mr. Woodburne, "we're jable to fill our leisure hours with 'What's. old?' and . 'What used to be in vogue?' "' Mr. Maruco, who studied de- sign in Winnipeg, Montreal and London, feels ther? is a special charm about doing business in a village. "We enjoy spending} ev time with people who like hunt-| ing for antiques.

And a cabinet minister told Tepo: confidence: sions of Sir Alec are deceptive or wrong. For instance, people say he's a little chap. But he's six feet tall." That's taller than Harold Wil- son, Labor party leader, but it is on other merits Sir Alec hopes to win the Oct. 15 gen- eral election. Columnist John Grigg sums up the range of his appeal this way: "He remains the darling of the faithful stick - in - the- muds . . . while he strides to- wards the hustings as the apos- tle of modernization." "Gentle Alec," the fourth suc- cessive Conservative leader in four general elections, is show- ing more clearly than before the inner core of toughness that has long been recognized by former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and others. NOT SO AMATEURISH The dramatic fact is that un- der this elegant "amateur'-- Sir Winston Churchill once called him "Home Sweet Home"'--the Tories have picked themselves off the ground and fashioned a total change in the British political scenery. Just a year ago they were in utter disarray -- humiliated by the failure of the European Common Market negotiations, shocked by spy and sex scan- dals and torn by a leadership struggle after Macmillan re- resigned because of illness. Stepping on to this chaotic stage--reluctantly, it seemed-- the 14th Earl of Home, with a background of Commonwealth and foreign affairs, was the least known prime minister in many years. Labor taunted the Tories with being the "party of the past," going to the House of Lords for a leader who had to shed his title .under the new Labor- inspired Peerage Act. The unusual scene prompted one writer to sum up public reaction in sporting terms: "The image has been so con- sistently presented of-a man on the touchline, watching the con- tortions of the sweaty profes- sionals with a courteously dis- guised distaste, that when the ball flies into his hands and he runs off with it, there are nat- urally still a lot of -spectators who can't believe their eyes." WORK FOR PARTY The image of aristocratic de- tachment has persisted, hence the "amateur" label frequently applied to Douglas-Home. But from .the first he exhorted the party in workmanlike terms: "The fact that there is a gen- eral election ahead must never be out of our minds--every act, every speech, must have that in mind." Douglas-Home, showing a vi- gor surprising in a man of apparently languid disposition, set the example in a "meet the e'"' program that took him whistle-stopping ail over Brit- ain. "It's all whistle and no stop," he scoffed Wilson, who charged Douglas-Home did not get down "|to brass tacks on isues. But even before the formal cam- paign began most voters had seen the thin-lipped, patrician face either in person or on tele- vision, earnestly peering over hailf-lense spectacles. More comfortable in foreign than domestic affairs, Douglas- Home repeated countless times the proposition that Britain's presence in the highest world councils depends on possession Labor spokesmen chortled over Sir Alec's 'matchstick economics,' deriving from his derstand economic documents he used matches, 'moving them into position to simplify and illustrate the points to my- if." self. SPOKE IN TORONTO Perhaps the prime minister's biggest contribution to world po- litical thought was outlined in a February speech when he said a "sea-change"' is coming over the world. He developed the theme that industrialized nations of the northern hemisphere; whether Democratic or Communist, must abandon ideological con- flict and help the hungry mil- lions of the underdeveloped southern hemisphere to avoid global racial strife. Douglas-Home's greatest tac- | tical weapon against Labor was | that he alone could decide the election date and, postponing it to the bitter end, he caused Labor to dissipate some of its burgeoning strength while the Tories recovered and past dis- asters receded in the public memory. The delay also enabled him to steal some of the thunder of Wilson, an ardent Common- wealth man, by presiding over a Commonwealth prime minis- ters' conference in July, pick- ing up added prestige. Few observers ee Douglas- Home as a match for Wilson in debate. Yet the prime minister escaped severe mauling in the House of Commons despite a shaky start. He called his op- ponent the "14th Mr. Wilson." "The arrogance of brain is pitted against the arrogance of blood," said a political reporter of the contest. between the plump Wilson and the lean Scot- tish landowner.
