6 Facal o'n Cheann Suidhe "Tha mi a' creidsinn gur iad canain, litreachas, eachdraidh agus beul-aithris na Cuimrigh oighreachd luachmhor clann na Cuimrigh uile." Sin mar a thubhairt Seoras Tomlinson a Roinn an Fhoghluim cho fad as ri 1947. Cha d'rinn duine sam bith 'na inbhe ann an Alba seo a chur an ceill as leth na Gaidhlig. Tha'n t-am a nis aig cuid- eigin a dheanamh. Co aig tha fios de mar a dh'adhartaich cainnt mar sin aobhar na Cuimris o'n a' chogadh mu dheireadh ? Tha fios againn gu bheil cion taic na muinntir an ard inbhe a' misneachadh naimhdean na canain gu bhith a' cur eagal le bhith bruidheann air sparradh na Gaidhlig air daoine, gu bhith cur sios oirre agus a' bacadh oidhirpean chomuinn is dhaoine a tha 'g obair gu inbhe a thoirt dhith. Tha feum aig buidhnean mar Comhairle nan Eilean, luchd-foillseachaidh leabhraichean, Comhairle nan Leabhraichean, Sabhal Mor Ostaig agus An Comunn air cuideachadh airgid ach tha an aon fheum aca air taic gu bheil urrachan mora an riaghaltais a' gabhail ris a' Ghaidhlig. Gus am faighear sin bidh e fhathast doirbh impidh a chur air na gealtaich, ruaig a chur air na naimhdean, na leisgein a dhusgadh, cuisean a shoilleireachadh do luchd an aineolais agus ruaig a chur air na raodain shuarach a tha g obrachadh bho 'n taobh a stigh gu cur as d'ar canain. Is minig a chaidh a radh nach eil ceangal aig A' Chomunn ri polataics ach ri linn a ruintean fhein feumaidh uallach a bhith air air son iomhaigh na h-Alba oir's i a' Ghaidhlig a' bhuaidh as sonraichte agus as duthchasach a th'ann an Alba an diugh. As aonais fior-iomhaigh is coma Eireachdas a bhith ann no as. Thuig an Gall, Eachann Boece, seo bho chionn ceithir cheud bliadhna agus thubhairt e mu na Gaidheil, “Faic a nis a' mhodhalachd a bha mar chuibhrionn aig na h-Albannaich o shean." Thubhairt fear eile, " Fad da mhile bliadhna ghleidh iad a' chainnt slan, neo- thruaillte." Tha moran an Alba ag aithneachadh sin a nis; gun aidicheadh ar cinn-iuil sin gu follaiseachadh a dh'aithghearr, oir 's docha gun dean an ola sinn beartach ach leatha fhein cha ghleidh i sinn ' nar n-Albannaich.

407 Union Street, Aberdeen Telephone: 575373 EARLY CLOSING 1.00 p.m. Saturday PRESIDENT'S REMARKS Although far greater support from the State, financial or otherwise, is required if Gaelic is to survive let alone flourish, it would be wrong not to acknowledge an im- provement in the situation and to omit to thank the officials of the Scottish Educa- tion Department for their courtesy and friendliness in dealings with An Comunn Gaidhaelach. At the same time we should not forget our own Mod committees who can never be thanked sufficiently for what they do. Only someone who has been involved on such a committee can understand the extent of their labours and sacrifices. We are greatly indebted to those who donate to our funds and to our sponsors— John Player Er Sons Thistle Records William Grant & Sons Ltd., Distillers Strathspey Highland Malt Whisky MacDonald & Muir Ltd., Distillers Aberdeen Et District Milk Marketing Board

q Tha taic-airgid lain Player is a Mhic do cheol is do dhrama airfhoillseachadh gu fior mhath an Alba le ar ceangal ri Mod Naiseanta A' Chomuinn Ghaidhealaich. Tha sinn a rithist toilichte taic a thoirt do fharpaisean piobaireachd inbheach air son Bratach Oir is Bratach Bheag Oir lain Player, agus do fharpaisean nan coisirean mora is nan coisirean duthchail. Tha sinn air a bhith air cul a' Phiob Mhor a thoirt am follais aig a' Mhod Naiseanta am measg inbheach. Tha e 'na thoileachadh, mar sin, a bhith a' faicinn na farpais a' dleasadh ard inbhe am measg phiobairean. Tha sinn cuideachd an dochas gu bheil ar cultaic air comhnadh a thoirt do bharrachd choisirean gu tighinn air adhart gu tlachd a thoirt duibh. Tha sinn a' guidhe araon do luchd-eisdeachd is do fharpaisich Mod Naiseanta sholasach is ainmeil an 1976. Geoffrey Kent Fear Cathrach is Priomh Fhear Stiuiridh lain Player is a Mhic ********** John Player and Sons' sponsorship of music and drama is best exemplified in Scotland by our involvement with the National Mod of An Comunn Gaidhealach. We are again pleased to support the senior piping competition for the John Player Gold Banner and Gold Pennant, and the senior and rural choral competitions. In fact, we have been concerned with the introduction to the National Mod, at senior level, of the Great Highland Bagpipe. It is very gratifying, therefore, to have seen the competition steadily become a major event in the pipers' calendar. We hope, too, that our backing has helped more choirs to appear for your pleasure. We wish audiences as well as competitors an enjoyable and memorable National Mod in 1976. Geoffrey Kent Chairman and Managing Director John Player and Sons

Use us more. Make your Royal Bank cheque account more than a convenience... make it an asset. Take the resources of our service departments to help pay your regular bills for you, and generally look after your money Use the experience of our bank managers who deal with money all day long and know a thing or two that you may not. Use the 'extras’ that make all the difference, like 24-hour cash cards and travel cheques. But most of all, take comfort in the knowledge that the Royal Bank is there for your use. Think of us as your own personal bank. And you’ll get a lot more out of your cheque account than cash and security.
