The bagpipes and kilts have some claim to our regard. On some- what higher levels philosophy and poetry stand as valuable as- sets from over the border. A sound theology can be reconciled with Clydeside radicalism, stag stalking, salmon fishing, and a merry fling whenever the clans gather for the sword dance. That aside, the Scots have invented curling for the Winter season and gowff, or golf, for the Sum- mer days, for which the whole of the civilized world owes them a debt of deepest gratitude. Where the game originated is A start has been made from the Quebec end on the proposed high way to connect the towns of Rouyn and Noranda with Kirk- land Lake, and it is expected this road will be completed for traffic next year, each province doing the stretch within its own bound- aries. Mary Vandervleit, New Lis- keard's speedy girl runner, won the 100 and 200 metres races at the big meet in Toronto on Sat- urday. The whole district ex- tends congratulations. Shy Little Girl and The King somewhat of a puzzle. But there is reason to believe it was im- ported from Holland, for, in the year 1618, James VI. of Scotland enacted a protective tariff in be- half of the game. But long before this date, golf was played in Scotland and had taken such a hold upon the popu- lar fancy that the Edinburgh au- thorities took alarm lest the sport should put the ancient "waping- shawingis," or practice of arch- ery, on the retired list. There- fore it was ordered by His Majes- ty James IV that "golf be utterly cryit down and nocht usit." This happened in 1471. Likely the mandate would have had_ better effect if His Majesty had himself obeyed the royal rescript. But seeing he was content to hand over the mandate to the lords, spiritual and temporal, hoping they might do the right thing and himself stealing off for a round on the course, jit can hardly be surprising if the prohibition took no effect. A century afterwards another attempt was made to put down the golf game, but it wound up with a discreet compromise, namely, that golf should not be played during the time of ser- mons in church. That cautionary reservation has gone the way of others. But the royal and ancient game of golf is rightly named. The Scot- tish monarchs of the Stuart dy- nasty played it. Mary Queen of Scots tried her skill. Charles I was an adept with the niblick. The "Merry Monarch" was prob. ably too lazy for such exertion; he had other appointments. Yet James II was a devotee. When Duke of York, he chose "Johnnie Patersone" for partner in a four- And the some. And they won. Duke gave Johnnie half the stakes. And Johnnie builded himself a house in Canongate out of the proceeds. For him it was a "field day." It was not until the middle of the Victorian period that golf caught on in England with the same enthusiasm as cricket, tennis and other sports. Then clubs were organized and links laid out in all parts of the country. The late A. J. Balfour was a great player. He kept up the tradition and, did credit to the game. Today, thousands of votaries are never happier than when whacking their way across the the turf. And it is good medi- cine for young and old. There's a way out of the reparations bog.
