„Ol ,, yes,'' said he, "I suppose my

landmark around the University for
the last four years. But everything
changes."

said he "It was practically as the

the poem in The Telegram.. It was
a protest against the people who have
suffered nothing presuming to pilo
test against a reluctance on the part
of others to be reconciled to the peo-
ple and the conditions 'which have
caused them suffering. 2t is entirely.
unwarranted for those wlio have not
suffered; to speak of reconciiliation
is all right, but they could very well
leave it to those who have the better
right to speak through suffering."
"And why chid you use the initials
L. X Y.'?".
"Oh, I just used any initials which
came into my head."
Lewis Alexander MacKay is a
product of the Canadian small town.
of which neither Canada nor the
small town nor the University of
Toronto need be•'ashamed.
Hensall, Ont., in Huron County, is
Mr. MacKay's birthplace. The village
has three or four hundred inhabit-
ants. The MacKay family moved
there 30 years ago. William MacKay
father of the author of the poen,
is the village schoolmaster. He
had taught in a little rural school
in Usborne, in North Huron, before
conning to Hensall. The family came
from Sutherlandshire, in Scotland,
originally. Lewis` MacKay's grand-
father settled in the Irish' settlement
of Dungannon, in the north of Hur-
on County, 70 years ago. Another
section of the 117acKays, which came
out about this time, located in Nova
Scotia, and still another found a con-
genIal resting place among the Scotch
of Zorra township. The MVlacKays
pronounce the family name.to rhyme
with "eye."
The student -poet's mother came
from Devonshire. He has both Eng-
lish and Irish strains in his ancestry,
as well as Scotch blood. ,"The Mac -
Kays came from Sutherlandshire,"
he said simply, "and were a fighting
clan, I guess, because they had so
barren a land. they had to fight for
what they got."
"Da you speak Gaelic?" he was
asked.
`•`No;I wish I could. I may learn
it yetn/it is such a sweet sounding
language, I do not play the bagliipes
but I eenfess that 1 like to hear them
I could sit here all day with therm go-
ing full blast."
Not a scurtilla of a smile gave a
clue to what was behind this proud
,profession of Lowers of endurance,

Lewis Alexander MacKay came to.
Toronto in 1919. He is 22 years old.
f -Ie had been too young to enlist dur-
ing the war, although his uncle
and his five cousins were able to go,
Tliatmay account for the young
mans' conception of others than slac-
kers and stay-at-homes; being best
qualified to talk about "reconcillia-
tioin." The student himself went into
the Canadian Officers' Training Corps
whelp he carie to the University.
