Still About Scots It is a fact that no other country in the world emigrates as many people as Scotland. Some put down the reason to "high fertility and low econmy", but I rather suspect that it has someâ€" thing to do with the country‘s brutal bloody history. Most Irish McAllisters can trace their antecedents back to Scotland to the time they fled the clan wars â€" members of the MacAllister clan were gentle folk and peaceful . . . Bending over my shoulder is the Editorâ€"inâ€"Chief â€" a Macdonald + who wants to know what I‘ve got on him: What have I got? Quite a lot. Bend your ear and I‘ll tell a tale ... The Macdonalds hail from Glencoe but few today, if any, reâ€" side in this beautiful Highland valley, being found, instead, in all parts of the world. This is quite surprising when one considers how few escaped the infamous massacre on that bleak February mornâ€" ing in 1962 (what did somebody say about fertility?). _ â€" This was one time when no one said "Hurrah" when they saw the Campbells coming, for they were the ones who perpetrated the foul, black â€" hearted deed against the Macdonalds of Glencoe. A Bloody Crime PIRNED Ond l e dn udnc ns isnn in o ifracne l c d ds c ind o n d I crossed the foot bridge where his hallowed steps had converged most regularly upon the local pub. Robbie was as fond of the "water of life" as he was of women and it was said that traversed that bridge the night he met his doom on the Kilmarnock Road. He was kind of fu‘ then but it failâ€" ed to keep him warm. He was born on the 25th of January, my daughter was born on the 23rd. January is named after the twoâ€"faced god, Janus, who looked into both the past and future. We mortals can do that too: "Miss Jocelyn McAllister, who today became the bride of . . . Usquebae Reminiscing of my years in Scotland also reminds me that the country‘s biggest exports are Scots and Scotch. And both receive their rightful share of attention from the Scottish governâ€" ment which would like to do something about stopping the flow of Scots and increasing the flow of Scotch. "Sceotch", of course, is whiskey. It is still refered to in the Highlands by its original name "Usquebae" and when translated into English and dollars we can understand why: Usqueb«> â€" The Water of Life â€" is Scotland‘s best dollarâ€"earning commodity. The distilling of malt whiskey was a domestic craft practised for centuries by the Gaelic Highlanders, while in the Lowlands the popular drink was an ale which was called "twoâ€"penny", sold at twopence a Scotch pint. In his famous poem, ‘"Scotch Drink". Robert Burns confessed he had an appreciation for both the Lowland and the Highland forms of refreshment. He wrote: ‘"Wi‘tippeny, we fear nae evil. _ Wi‘ usquebae, we‘ll face the devil‘" The Glencoe affair violated all the "rules" of clan warfare and was the blackest of crimes which history lays at the feet of Campbell chiefs. It was "murder under trust‘"; a coldâ€"blooded, cowardly, contrived stabâ€"inâ€"theâ€"back; a breach of hospitality which is always held so sacred by the Gaels. And all for a few head of cattle. The Macdonalds had raided the Campbell camp and made off with the first Campbell Earl of Breadalbane‘s livestock. Jocelyn was born in Ayrshire, proudly known as Burns‘ Counâ€" try â€" the birthplace of Robert Burns. His cottage was but a mile or two from the nursing home where she was born and his statue stood down the street overlooking the ocean. Each time I shopped, Our youngest took off for Ottawa with our eldest Easter weekâ€" end and our cat took off after father. This strange: transference of affection had him opening doors and shutting them, filling saucers and washing them, stroking, patting and sympathizing. The last straw came when he coaxed me into our daughters‘ bed to keep our feminine feline from pining. "She can sleep on the foot of my bed," I suggested. "Oh, she doesn‘t like yours," he replied. Neither does he â€" it‘s twinâ€"size. Looking Back Across the room, Jocelyn is all knees and elbows â€" an abstract composition that, but for her age, could be entitled ‘"Teenager with Telephone‘". Suddenly, for no reason at all, a flood of memory brings me back to that cold winter day on the west coast of Scotâ€" land where she was born. I was no older than she is now and I was frantically ringing the bell in my hospital room for the doctor. Fortunately, he arrived before she did. He took no account of my three days of labor and indignantly wanted to know why I couldn‘t hold out until Burns‘ CAMBRIDGE #«&* birthday How Green is Your Grass?

Then, at a given signal, the troops turned on their hosts and murdered them in their beds. But of the men, women and children who got away, forty more died in the heavy snow while attempting to flee from the Glen of Weeping. How‘s that for a story? The Editorinâ€"Chief says that while joyous it is at least momentous . . . When he takes his shoes off to go to bed, he drops them from a height of not less than 6‘. He treats his two small sisters with a rough kindness that includes verbal and physical teasing, hiding behind doors to terrify them and bringing home small treats. In August of 1691, the Crown came forward with a plan which offered indemnity to all Jacobite chiefs who signed an cath of allegiance by Ne‘er Day (New Year‘s Day), 1692. The Macdonalds were tardy in complying to the advantage of Breadalbane, Dalâ€" rymple, Glenlyon and King William who set the stage for the mas sacre. Yet some managed to escape. Gaelic legend claims that just before the disaster several families were warned by the moaning of the "caoineachag" â€" the little weeper, a Celtic spirit. He is large â€" and getting larger. He is hairy â€" and getting hairier. He is loud â€" and I don‘t see how he can get much louder. He sneaks his father‘s razor and cleans up his incipient moustache and the odd whisker and no one ever mentions it. His face is usually spotty or he has a boil, which he accepts philosophically, though six months ago, before he started high lchgl.‘h:doduedthnhowuldn'tgotoschoolifhehada boil on his face. He is moody; never a talkative boy, he comes home from school some days and I‘m sure he‘s been stricken dumb since he left the house after breakfast. Other days he comes home and is, for him, almost garrulous, even following me to the door of the bathroom and standing outside so that he can talk to me He would probably kiss me in public if we were on the steps of the guillotine, but not under any other circumstances. He is honest in his thinking â€" and he also pays his debts as soon as he is paid (he gets 70c an hour at the local IGA for a few hours‘ work on the weekend.) He has a wonderful sense of humour, which enables him to accept his own failures, academic and otherwise, with wry comâ€" ments. Academically, he‘s not the most intelligent boy I know and he has difficulty in expressing himself â€" this sets him apart in a family notorious for being gabby and bright. For this he plotted revenge with Capt. Robert Campbell of Glenlyon. Sharing their bloody crime is Sir John Dalrymple, a Lowland Scots politician who had an implacable hatred of anything Gaelic or Highland, and King William of Orange who sanctioned the deed: I have it on the best authority that King Billie could never wash the blood of Glencoe off his hands. When he goes upstairs, the old house quivers on its foundaâ€" tions and the cockroaches tremble in their holes.

What is shaping up to be an annual affair is the Easter Walk, staged by some of the students of Downsview Secondary School. It all began last year, when a number of students undertook a return walk to King City. At 7 A.M. on Tuesday, April 20, 120 students gathered at the school for the Second Arnual Walk, this year to Kleinberg, which is approximately 35 milâ€" es, round trip. The students who had cars patrolled the route and picked up any stragglers who found the going too rough, or couldn‘t compete with the blisters on their heals. A group of 6 walkers tried a short cut, but found that they had wllked 6 miles off course, but were able to hitch a ride back to the highway.
