Critics often debate the sugges

would be just asentertaining if.

Christopher Marlowe,, to whom the

students who have°read the O$ian
poems, are not. greatly disturbed by
the 'knowledge that these Gaelic
legends were not written by the
Irish Ossian at all. But how does
this' point of view stand up in;
respect to the tearing down of old
buildings and the destruction of
old landmarks?
Two of the most famous music
cantles in the world, 'the Metro-
politan Opera building .and Car-
negie I•Ial'l ta'i New York City, are.
being seriously considered' for re-
placement. Bids have been made
roe the properties by interests de-
siring the valuable sites for office
buildings, The very thought of it
has brought pangs of sentimental
remorse to many people who dis-
like to see their traditions go. But
in matters of this kind the com-
mercial- interests — there is little
money in the. arts with which to
contest such encroachments—us-
ually win.

present quarters and "hung out its
shingle in`.'e new building' in an-
other part of the city. ' A new
opera house might`be a good'thing
economieally, but it would never
have the same inspiration for new
artists, nor could it offer the at-
mosphere, to performer and patron
alike, which the greatest vocalists
of all time haveelcreated in thl
old house.
Although the Royal Opera ITouse
at Bayreuth, Germany, was built
in the '18th Century, and the
Festspielhaus is still in use there
though it was standing several
years before the Met opened in
1883, both the New York music
centres are considered old.
—The interior of the Met is im-
pressive, spacious : and dignified,
with that . -important Old World
charm; but there are not enough
cheap seats to make` the enterprise.
economical. The exterior is unim•
pressive. Carnegie HaIl', seats
2,760 people and has good acoust-
ics; but many 'financial sacrifices
have been made to keep it going.
If the New York Philharmonic can
raise =$4,00Q,000it will buy the
hall, and spend another $1,000,000
in renovations. That will ' he a
cheap home for the orchestra, but
since the Philharmonic ' has ' no
money it is far from solving its
problem of a permanent home.
I have mentioned this matter
because I have never thought of
the lYlet as being an American in-
stitution, Spiritually it belongs to
all of us who like good music' and
who think culture' is worth pre-
serving. The Met in New York in
the same sense as the United
Nations are there. It is no more
national than chow mein. Virtuosos
from all lands—Kirsten Flagstad
from Norway, Jussi 13joerling from
Sweden, and George London from
Canada, as .well as the Americans
-Roberta Peters and Marian And-
erson --have made the Metropolitan
Opera what it is. And that is
why people everywhere, will watch
with interest the fate of the Met
and Carnegie Hall.
It may •tit be possible for Car-
usos and Jenny Linds to endure
forever in the flesh but there are
many among us who have a Pas-
sion for stability in a changing
world. In Saint John, N.B., there
ie. an old' grave yard in the centre
of the city. The location is a
valuable commercial possibility,
but by historic decree the burying
ground must always remain un-
disturbed. Such decrees have been
known before, but succeeding gen-
erations have always found' rea-
sons to invalidate them. . Notso
in Saint John. Although the peo-
ple laid to rest there would be just
as restful removed to another lo-
cation, ,it is a source of. great in-
spiration to the townspeople and
to visitors that this plot of land
still abides in the pristine atmos-
phere and purpose of its first days.
Much of what we call traditional
is not transportable, and a void
has been left in Vienna, Ont.,
where a stone tablet now marks
the site on which stood the home
of Thomas Edison's grandfather.
henry Ford bought the historic
building some years ago and mov-
ed it, board and nail, to his mus-
eum in Michigan.
I doubt if the Metropolitan
Opera house would be quite as
significant if it moved out of its

One of the muses once said of
home: "There is a spot of earth
supremely blest; a dearer, sweeter
spot than all the rest." And who
recalls the native fields and de-
lightful meadows of home without
remembering the aromatic beauty
of the wild flowers that are found
there?
Frank Johnson, of Ocean Park,
B.C., was moved by nostalgia a few
weeks ago to remember the May-
flowers that grew along the back-
woods trails in Nova Scotia when
he lived there 50 years ago. Having
been a school teacher in the west
for many years, Mr. Johnson had
now retired, and in the twilight of
i:is life was prone to think of the
days when life was young.
I have heard of sailors bottling
up water from foreign seas, so
that something of that enchant-
ment might be retained during the
last years of land -locked retire
ment. And many of us have pack-
ed handfuls of good earth into
small boxes and brought them
home with us as mementoes of
sentimental journeys. But Frank
Johnson thought his native prov
ince would be nearer to him if he
could see some Nova Scotia May-
flowers growing in his British
Columbian backyard. He wrote a
letter to the school principal at
Wolfvillee with the suggestion
that a small boy secure a few
roots and send thein to him,. so
that a bit of his native land might
bloom in British Columbia also.
One boy was happy to oblige,
and a parcel of plants was shipped
off across the continent. Before
they arrived, however, Mr. Johnson
had died.
Would it be too much to hope
that some Ocean Park schoolboy
has in the meantime planted those
Mayflower roots as a tribute to a
man whose last thoughts were of
the simple beauty of youth?

MARIE FRASER
Years ago, our grandmothers
highly recommended an annual
spring tonic, usually of good old
sulphur and molasses. Of course,
today we know that with plenty of
dairy and other foods round the
calendar we don't -need a tonic, for
we can keep healthy just by eat-
ing these foods, in all their variety,
throughout the 12 months. '
When we think of our varied
dairy foods, and the many ways
there are to use them for summer
eating, we find they're actually
part and parcel of nearly every
summertime meal. You know how,
even on. the hottest of days, we
ran be refreshed in a moment with
a cooling milk drink, and how we
delight in berries and other fresh
fruit with cream. Or think of
salads, combining cottage or Can-
adian cheddar cheese with the
great variety of our own fruits
and vegetables. And salad dres-
sings of sour cream, cottage
cheese, or whipped cream. Often
at these meals, buttered rolls or
other crisp accompaniments com-
plete the main course. With a
simple light dessert made of whip-
ped evaporated milk, or that top
favorite, ice cream, our entire meal
is ready.
For June is Dairy Month, we're
ocktailers—
Tailenders
Stanley Jones tells of being on a
plane en route to Europe, A team,
oe U.S; skaters was 00 board on
the way te, compete in the Olym',
pits.
"When the steward of the plane
passed out cocktails — a vicious
custom where the non-drinkers pay
for the drinks of the drinkers—he
canto to this Olympic team and
remarked, 'Of course these will, not
take any, and the coach nodded
agreement.' If they had they
would automatically have . ruled
themselves out of the severe com
petition.
Pruning away handicaps is , a
"must" for Olympic competitors—
indeed for ail who strive in sports
to reach the top. Surely in the
severe competition- of modern liv-
ing this "stumbling block" should
be avoided by all youth: Very of-
ten the one who begins as a cock-
tailer only, becomes one of life's
tailenders.
