Sutherland has found that his visit is lasting far longer than he anticipated. Mr. Sutherland came from Scotland to visit his daughter Margaret Elton and her hus- band Harry. but became seri- ously ill some months ago and is still recuperating. 1n the meantime. the Eltons have had to move to Ottawa where Mr. Elton. a TV personality. receiv- ed an appointment to CJOH. an independent station in the cap- ital. Mr. Sutherland. in a rich Scottish accent. can relate many interesting stories of his fascinating life. He left Scot‘ land in,1908 and spent 25 years in business in Bolivia and oth- er parts of South America be- fore returning. Rev. Sutherland later became rector of the pre-reformation Church of Holy Rood at Stir- ling. He once had the honor of being the guest of King George VI at Balmoral Castle for a weekend when he preached at Crathie. the church in Aber-‘ deen where the royal famlly worship when in residence there. Mr. Sutherland is presently staying at the home of Miss F. Neale on Brooke St. and hope: to return to Scotland shortly. One interesting story Mr. Sutherland tells concerns the election to Parliament for Dundee of Sir Winston Churchill in 1910. Mr. Su- therland’s brother. the late Rev. Lewis Sutherland was attending St Andrew‘s Uni- versity at the time and was one of the students who pulled Sir Winston's car- riage through the streets after his victory.
