Robert Burns, whose birthday We celebrate this month, has in the past fev. ywrs been not only enshrined in the hearts of the Scotch but many organizations have kept his memory green, like Women's Guilds and In- siiiutes, Eastern Star &c. as well as many others. The late Ramsay McDonald in un- The late Ramsay McDonald in un- veiling the Burns statue at Dunfries last year said, “If Burns requires advocate at the judgment seat every Scottish heart and voice will be lift- ed up in suppiication on his behalf.” We may tread on dangerous ground to men‘ion reiigion, politics, class prejudices in discussing Burns. This would be a fatal blunder, not for him but ourselves. Burns belongs to very few poets who Were capable of sym- bolism. In “The Cotters’ Saturday Night” he symbolizes the true pa- ternal spiritual worship of God in the home, the true foundation of na- tions and people. In his dying hours he wrote that great passionate love song “0 wert thou in the Cauld Blast,” truly a gem of Scottish lit- ex-ature. Burns had a great wealth of vo- ca‘bulary and he fearlessly exp056d hypocrisy and arrogance. Burns was also a severe critic and spared not the church in its social 'set-up. Holy Willies’ Prayer was one of this type of poetry and Tam o’ Shanter was a marvelous inspira- tion envisaged in the church. The glow of immortality is seen in many of his poems. He had as his friends the fIOWers and animals and wrote lovely verses on them. His life was mostly unhappy, espeâ€" cially in his closing years but he drained the cup of life to the dregs. He saw life in its entirety. Nothing was too small or lowly for Burns to interest himself in and humanity appealed deeply and strongly to this great lover of his fellowman. Burns was no hypocrite. He, not like other poets, didn't turn to writ- ing owing to physical disability. He had a great physique. was a plow- man and an athlete. He had a great soul which fact was revealed in his tender, beautiful poems. Sir Walter Scott‘bears testimony of the poet’s success. “As for Burns,” he said, “I was a lad of 15 when he came to Edinborough, but had. sense enough ROBERT BURNS to be intereéted in his pOetry and} would have given worlds to have known him.” 1 C. Garbutt, F. Clarke and William Daniels Are Elected Trustees MALTON District Items Of 60 Years Ago At the inaugural session of the York County in January 1878 N- Clarke Wallace of Woodbridge, then lst Deputy-Reeve of Vaughan Townâ€" ship was elected Warden. His op< ponent for the office of Warden .was Mr. Fleury, reeve of Aurora. Each candidate received 20 votes and Mr. Wallace was elected by the casting vote of the reeve of York Township. In the following month of February the same year Mr. Wallace was se- lected Conservative Candidate for the House of Commons in the rid»- ing of West York in the election that followed later in the year. The hereditary title of Baronet was the creation of James lst, who was King of England from 1603 to 1625. James, even he was a Scotch man. was continually in financial 'distress. In the second year of his reign in England his debts amOunt- ed to £800,000, which was the reve- hue of two years. In order to raise more money he went into the lucra- ‘tive business of selling titles. Peer- eges sold for as high as £10,000. He also sold many high offices in the "state. Ordinary knighthoods are not hereditary. The fear of causing too (much indignation among the “ancient nobility” made it impOssible to sell !too many peerages and so the title ;of “Baronet” was founded which in reality is a knighthood which passes on from generation to generation in the same manner as a peerege with (the principal difference, that the :lholder was not eligible to sit in the [House of Lords. It is stated that flames raised £90,000 from this sale 'of this new title. The sale was made principally to wealthy land-owners. t l I J l 1* A “Drunkards’ Aid Society" was organized at Mono Road early in i‘1878. It was modelled after an or- iganization that then existed in Dun- Edee, Scotland. Its purpose was to iconduct home any who had partaken :of too much alcoholic beverage and 'were incapable of making the way ihi-m or herself. It is said that the iconduct was accompanied with vocal ,selections such at “The Little Brown Jug" and was of such a nature that l‘ the same person was never known to l‘have to be assisted home the second ‘time by this energetic organization, l i l l ichinSOn in that locality. Early in April 1878, the barns and l 'Istable of Alex Cranston at lot 20, Concession 1, Albion were destrOyed} by fire. According to an item ap-l 'pearing in the “Toronto Mail" (not the Mail & Empire), 2. horse was stolen from the stable of a Mr. Hut- According to the story the thief took the horse to the Cranston stable left it there :and stole one of Mr. Cranston’s horses and then to cover the whole affair set fire to the buildings. He then drove east across 20 side road beyond Mount Hurst (Castlederg) and tied the horse to a tree in George Robinson’s bush. He then went to Robinson’s stable and stole some hay for the animal. The horse was later discovered still tied to the tree by one of the Robinson family who fol- lowed the hay that fell here and there from the stable to the bush. We have not been able to learn just why the thief left the horse in the bush or whether he was ever appre- hended. Bolton in 1878 was said to have more law to the acre than any 10- cality in the province of Ontario. So law conscious was this hamlet that it was stated by one who then: re- sided there “that a man or boy could not perpetrate the most innocent joke without having to appear be« fore the Justice of the Peace and pay amounts varying from $4.85 to $13.65 the amount invariably en‘ding with 5 cents.

Miss Izzard explained how the post~war conditions in Italy had led to the general acceptance of Fascism. She also outlined the main principles of Fascism and its retro- gressive effects on German and Ital- ian Women. This was contrasted with the higher status of women in democracies. Canadian women, Miss Izzard believes, are not making all the contribution they might toward a better government. Perhaps their political liberties came too easily.
