Mon 4 w'f::nfiic'snAv'.-Mar 15.11957 New In Nonsense

It appears that the United States' policy of trying to keep on good terms with President Nasser of 1-:g.x pt at almost any cost is having an effect on circumstances far re- moved from contemporary politics. in New Hyde Park, N. Y., for ex- ample, it has prompted school board officials to tamper with the basis of the Ten Himmandments, which under State law are permitted to be recited in the public schools.

As everyone knows. the preamble to the Dccaloguc reads like this: "I am the Lord thy find which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage". Well, to the above mentioned offi- cials, the words "the land of Egypt" seemed to convey an affront to Mr. Nasser and to be out of keeping with the State Department's gentle hand- ling of that gentleman (using the word in I strictly formal sense); so they gave instructions that the words should be left out. The pre- amble now reads: "I am the Lord thy God which have brought thee out of the house of bondage". Pre- sumably, the pupils are expected to forget all about Egypt's part in the great drama-a part which, inci- dentally, had its good points as well as its bad ones - and not. to ask any questions concerning the identity of the house of bondage. This will serve the double purpose of pre- serving Egypt's integrity viz-a-viz the Biblical story of the exodus and of keeping Mr. Dulles from undue embarrassment In his negotiations nith Mr. Nasser.

If the State Department doesn't present some sort of accolade to the aforesaid school board, it will be derelict in a simple duty. It must have taken-I lot of courage-or tomfoolery, according to the point of view- to defy history as well as simple truth out of respect for the arrogance of I dictator who probably won't appreciate it anyway. There's always something new to report In the field of incredible nonsense.

The Municipal Federation

The Constitution of the newly

organized Federation of Prince Ed- ward Municipalities is an impressive one. "The objects of the Federa- tion", It states, "shall be: (at The guidance and improvement of legis- lation, both Dominion and Provin- cial, upon municipal questions and the betterment of municipal interests generally. (bl To secure united action for the protection of indivi- dual municipalities and municipal interests as a whole. (cl To hold meetings for promoting the above objects and for creating and foster- ing a fraternal spirit among those engaged in municipal work."

There is here a recognition of the well tested axiom that in unity there is strength. But there is something more. There is an aware- ness of the fact that the municipal- ity is the basic unit in any democra- tic system and, as such, needs and deserves Informed and enlightened leadership which can hold its own with that on the so-called "higher levels" of Government. The em- phasis today is on centralization of power and of taxing methods--- which of course are the implements of power. Perhaps it was inevitable. although there are reputable politic- al scientists who believe that it has gone much too fnr. in any cue, it be: not detract from the impor- tlncc of sound civlE administration.

Instance when "the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you". Even the fellowship and mutual support which, as members of an associa- tion. the officers of the various towns and villages will enjoy. will be of ineatimable benefit; for munici- pal administration is often a weary- ing and thankless task.

Mayor Bruce Yeo, the first Presi- dent of the organization, brings to his post a wealth of experience and I reputation for getting things done. He has been Mayor of Montague for almost as long as the present gen- eration can remember; and, al- though he would never admit as much, almost any Montague resident owould say that the town's fiscal strength - which is quite impressive for a town of its siz'e-is largely the result of his indefatigable Ia- bours in its behalf. Under his lead- ership. supported by an able and -f'epi'cscntatiye group of officers, all enjoying the willing counsel of Mayor .I. D. Stewart, who has had much experience not only in local Zovernment but on I Dominion-wide front, we feel certain that the Fed- eration of Prince Edward Island Municipalities will have an auspic. lous beginning and go forward to a fine program of service,

Sale Places For War

How is it that South American countries can fight and scrap among themselves without bringing even a word of reprimand from the great powers of the United Nations, while if two European or Asian countries as much as talk angrily over their fences the U. N. General Assembly is called into session in great haste and all sorts of dire pun- ishments are threatened? Hardly a week passes that doesn't bring at least I rumour of war from two or more States, yet scarcely the slight- est notice is taken of it.

The latest countries to-get into a fracas are Nicaragua and Hon- duras. Yet, apart from a formal and mild gesture of protest from the Association of American States, they have been left pretty much-alone to settle their differences, peaceably if possible, by war if they think it necessary.

whence comes this virtual in- difference to South American frac- tiousness? Is it that these countries are so addicted to little skirmishes and revolutions that the oumide world hasn't the heart to interfere with their cherished pastime? Or, is it that there is some mysterious formula by which disputes in that part of the world are prevented from developing into world conflict and that, therefore, they are con- sidered of little or no importance to the overall pollticalr pattern of the world? It is a curious fact that, although petty wars and insurrec- tions are familiar parts of the South American social scene, there never has been a prolonged and devastating war of the kind that has plagued Europe so many.times. That, of course, may be the reason why rc- current alarms pasa virtually un- heeded. At all events, South Am- crlca, of allgthe Continents, appears to be the safest one on which in start regional strife.

The Skirl 0'

The Pipes

From Coming Evcnta In Britain

To the true Scotsman there is I no sound quite so'w0nderful as the skirl of the bagpipes. This en- thusiasm is shared by many visi- tors to Britain. even though others might be found to agree with the seventeenth century diarint Sam- ucl Pepys, u ho once described the sound of the pipes as being "at its best, mighty barbarous mu- Iicl"

Bagpipes are among the oldest of musical instruments - so old that their true age and origin are unknown. The Emperor Nero piny- ed them and they were known in Incienl Babylon. France, Italy, Spain, Greece. Persia and Russia - as well as either part: of Bri- tain besides Scotland - all have some form of bagpipes. but it is with Scotland that they are es- pecially associated and it in there that they have been most highly developed.

In their modern form the Scot- fish llighland bagpipes comprise an air bag. usually made of sheep- skin. into which are bound five pipes: I bass drone. two tenor drones, the mouthpiece. and the chanter on which the tune is play- ed. The chanter is I short pipa pierced with eight holes, one for the players thumb and seven for his fingers. and with these eight miles at his disposal the player can produce nine notes, from low G to high A. But he gets the most out of his limited compau by the skilful introduction of "'wnrblerI" tor grace-notesl which, together with the wailing drone, make up the familiar "skirt" of the bag-

pipes. SIXTEENTH CENTURY

Most of the Highland piper'I music dates from after the six-

teenth ceniury. Before that time the strolling bagpipe players Used to improvise their music or play variations on folk-songs. Not until the Scots adapted the pipes ll their own characteristic instru- ment were the strathspeya, reels and pibrochs composed which now make up the piper'I repertory. Many if these date from the day! of the Mnccrlmmons, hereditary pipers to the MacLcods of Skye. and the greatest family of pipers ever known- They held I school It Dunvegan. and their teen?! '0' making I good player was seven generations of pipers in the family and then seven year: of study.

At that time every clan main- tained its own piper. whose duty was to play the morning seren- ade. the rec-II or Itrathspcyn for lhc dancers, and I special PING on the bIf1h or death of I clln Chieftain. He was proud of his pos- Ition. and one old viper. '0 Wh0m the suggestlonn had been made that he might do odd jobs on the estate when not pract.islng,pr.I- plied with the dour comment.
