Gaelic Language gaining Ground in cape Breton

Tl-..tl the Gaelic language is not my holding its own. but is slow- ly, heyaloplng in Cape Breton is the opinion of Major Colin Ian whchglson MacLeod. famed Soot- ;,5h piper and Gaelic scholar who ,5 hfff to adjudicate the High- lllld dancing and Dim"! durlng .h.. wlsical Festival.

slat. MacLeod thought there ttmlld be a great deal more of We Gaelic spoken if parents would only remember that their .m1clrEl”l can lose it if they have ,0 (lllIllCe to converse with others. He thought the primary respon- t;l,)',llll' for keeping the language alive rests with the parents.

He said it was being taught now ; lire schools in Nova Sootla but yrliclcs the only real progress will nnlc when the teaching reaches tllnvrrslty level. In Scotland the umt-elsltles have endowed chairs 1.. bring the lansuase to the neo- me as a living tongue and in Nova Scotia it is being taught lo adults at night tluough educa- tional grallts. V

umlt-ver. the Mayor expressed -he fear that perhaps the ever mlnrilll dancing and piping might M59 be use of the Gaelic into my background. He maintains that .lkc real progress the Gaelic Dc recognized as a language crslties the same as French ; ly other.

A native of lnverness Major .iia:l.eori arrived by air yester- .iay dressed in his kilt. He belongs -n the MacLeod of Lewis Clan l'lll started playing the pipes -mm: he was 10 years nld. He .me to this country in 1949 af- 'er serving in the Army during the last war in the Intelligence Corps. He is still a. member of the Re- 5P."l'P5 Force.
