Britten, one of 'England's . youngest

the "Variations" in June and July of
1937. The work was first performed
at the Sa•Izlbnrg Festival that year,

Neel performance in London the foll-
owing year. It has since been played
by many orchestras in England, the,

since the moved to it with 'his family
about 50 years ago..
One by one he saw his sons and
daughters get married and to some
extent the :home ties broken, About
seven years ago his 'wi'fe died and
since then. he has lived alone.
He enjoys company, has plenty of
it, and in the evenings loves to
smoke, abet .and have a game , of
euchre.
He is still keenly 'observant and
is possessed of a ,memory that is
wonderfully retentive. Last summer
we called'to see 'him with a friend
whom he •had not seen for more than
40 years, and instantly he called him
by name.
Mr. McDonald is 'known to every-
body as Black Angus. Ask him the
reason why and he is likely to tell
you it is because no one 'could sug-
gest a better.
On asking him what we sh'ou'ld do
to attain longevity, with a smile he
advised us to live an entirely different
life from what he :has done.
"Then to what do you attribute
yours?" we asked.
The answer was: "To eating any-
thing and everything I wanted that
was eatable, and to drinking any-
thing strong or weak that was drink-
able,"
Years ago, when handy with the
nuzzle loading gun, he took delight
in 'bringing a 1b]ack squirrel from
some towering elm; at other times 'be,
would place a snare or set a trap to
capture the unsuspecting muskrat or
the wily mink.
Back in the -days when wire fences
began to replace the snake -rail ones,
and when farm lands needed Hauch
drainage Black Angus was in great
demand to dig post holes and make
ditches.
One noticeable 'peculiarity about 'his
work was the price, which was 5c a
.post hole. and a York shilling ,(12%'c)
a rod for ditching, and the price
never varied.
It nattered not to him whether he
were working in soft soil or in stiff
clay with stones as a handicap, the
price wasn't lowered or raised.
Angus laughed heartily when we
reminded him of the morning he
went to Seaforth to see the circus,
from the tone of unloading at the
station .and the ,patching of tents in
the old lair grounds, till the last
canvas .covering was lowered at
might.

The slow parade dawn Pennsy]-

White House, accompanied by the
President anal Mrs. Roosevelt, was
but the first of an intense 'succession
of activities. The weather was clear
and very warns.
Then came Washington's great soc-
ial moment: The garden party at the
British Embassy, where some 1,500
guests waited in the gardens of the
red=brick Embassy.
There was no doubt about the
royal - couple captivating Washington
as they have all the gatherings in
their whole itinerary where they were
seen and greeted.
On Friday, King George VI, who
reigns over the "'mother of parlia-
ments" at Westminster, met men -
ers of the United States legislative
body in the 'huge, high -domed ro-
tunda of Washington'scapital. With
Queen Elizabeth at this side, the
King shook hands with 400 United
States senators and members of the
house of representatives. The brilliant
reception, demonstrating anew the.
international friendship pledged the
previous night at a state dinner byKing George and President Roose-
veli, took place less than 100 yards
=fromthe spot where victorious Brit-
ish troops held a mock legislative ses-
sion in the House chamber 1215 years
ago and then sacked and 'burned the
capital. The King and Queen had a
smile and a hand -shake for every one
of the American legislators.
From Capitol Hill, the party drove
swiftly to the Navy Yard, and em-
barked on the presidential yacht.
The party lunched during their sail
down the Potomac River, and were
ready at Mount Vernon to `stroll
about the grounds, lay a wreath on
Geonge Washington's tomb -one of
America's most sacred spots-idt

summer days 'Black Angus may be
seen sitting in the shade near the
doorstep, or at work in the garden,
