Scottish music has always been recognîzed as distinctly individual bacausa o! the unusual charm in malody and rhythm. During the week o! January 25tb, wherever clansmen congregated, the songs and stories and plaudits o! Robert Burns have bean recounted witb high acclaim. Tfiey were cela- brating the birthday (Jan. 25, 1759) o! thair national songstar, Bobbie Burns. In cottage homes, lodges, and social circles o! ahl kinds "ýShould Auld Acquaintanca Be Forgot"l has bean sung with clasped hands in circles about the room. It is the ganeral belle! that Auld Lang Syna was writtan by Burns, but, as a matter o!f fact, the thema dates f ar back of "Bobbie" and is a resetting by the Scottish bard. In a letter to a friand, dated Septamber, 1793, ha says: "One more song and I have done-Auld Lang Syne. The air is but madiocre but the fol- lowing song, the song o! olden timas and which has neyer been in print, nor aven in manuscript, until I took it down fromn an old man's singing, is anough to recom- mand any air." In similar strain, to another friand, Burns wrote: "There has bean an old song and tune wbich have often tbrilled through my soul. I shaîl give you the verses on another sheat. Light be the turf on the breast o! the heaven inspired poat who composed this glorious fragment, Auid Lang Syne." Many o! the best known Scot- tish songs are the satting to music b! the poems o! Robert Burns, such as "Scots Wha Hae," "Flow, Gantly, Sweet Afton," "Coming Through the Rye," "Ye Banks and Braes o!

Trusting this finds the local authorities bard at work on this big re-habilitation scheme wa are hearing so much about.

The task includes supplying food and comforts to war prisoners, looking after civilian war victims, col- lecting blood serum to restore the wounded; building, equipping and staffing hospitals; supplementing stocks of medical and surgical supplies, and providing auxiliary nursing services. A UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD National Red Cross Societies throughout the world are linked to&ether in a universal brotberhood through the International Red Cross Committee in Geneva, Switzerland-a neutral country. Here in 1863, the Red Cross was founded throqgh the efforts of the Swiss author and philisopher, Henri Dunant, who had been impressed by the pioneer work of tha Englishwoman, Florence Nightingale. Here, in 1864, was drawn up the Treaty which committed sixteen nations (since joined by others) to observe the international conventions which make Red Cross work possible. Since then, the emblem chosen-the Red Cross on a white ground (the flag of Switzerland "ici reverse")- has become the worldwide symbol of man's humanity to man. n ARIETY' Is the Spice of Lufe And this applies particuiarly ta the every day family menu served at each meal ta keep the family happy and healthy.

HOW THE WORK IS CO-ORDINATED This International Committea of dia Red Cross sits continuously in Genava, supervising and co-ordinating the international work of the Red Cross Sociaties. It sands is own delegates regularly into pri son camps, and sets up international agancias to aid risoners of war, rafugees and other war victims. It keees a card index of ail prisoners of war, and arranges intercom- munication betwaen tham and their families. It arranges exchanga of prisonars.
