Hamilton's 1080 Argyle St (West end) C3 SLY President's Remarks Today, particularly in the Highlands and Islands, events are moving so swiftly that it is difficult to keep pace with them or to assess their significance. The discovery of oil round our shores has already made a tremendous impact on our lives and must revolutionise our thinking. Whether we like it or not we have to accept the simple fact that in the Highland and Islands (even in Scotland) things can never be the same again. The oil situation has come to stay. We cannot ignore its implications or the potentiality of its effects. Contrary to popular opinion. An Comunn Gaidhealach is not opposed to oil. Indeed, we have reason to be thankful that this source of wealth has been found in close proximity to our shores. Throughout the years we have seen the ablest and best of our people leaving their homeland to seek a better and a fuller life beyond the seas - to say nothing of organised evictions and widespread clearances - all of which tended to destroy us as a people and provided alien landlordism with the opportunity of adding insult to the many injuries and injustices which Gaeldom has suffered throughout the centuries. We hope that the new-found wealth around our coasts will serve to keep our people at home and perhaps bring back some of those who at present employ their skills and talents in foreign lands. We also hope that the emergent Highlands will be able to combat the ever-recurring threat of turning the whole of Gaeldom into a vast recreation park, reserved mainly for the sporting activities of hunters and fishers. Our vision of the Highlands (and indeed of the whole of Scotland) is one of thriving communities living satisfying lives in their own land and developing and preserving those cultural assets of language, music and song, which belong to us as a people. The danger to the Highlands is not from oil in itself but from the continuation of a system which for centuries has sought to submerge our language and culture in an alien way of life. In this connection, it is significant that the Welsh delegate, speaking at the Ayr Mod, characterised as "criminal negligence" the attitude of successive Governments to the Gaelic situation. It was with these considerations in mind that at this year's Conference it was unanimously decided to convene a special Conference later in the year to study the situation in all its aspects and to make positive recommendations. Time is not on our side. The developing scene in the Highlands and Islands calls for urgent action. Our requirements must be clarified and pressed to acceptance. At a very critical time for the Gaelic language, it is interesting to note that the Preliminary Census results showed the arrival on the Gaelic scene of some eight thousand Gaelic speakers as compared to the situation ten years ago. Whatever the final figure may be, the fact is that probably never before has interest in Gaelic been so deep and widespread. Learners of Gaelic are now counted by the thousand. Writing in the Press recently the Very Rev. Dr. Tom Murchison posed the question, "Has Gaelic made a comeback?" and he urges the Registrar General to supply the answer. It is high time the facts were known. Summer schools of Gaelic at Sleat and Stornoway have been held this year again and Gaelic Drama continues to make pleasing progress. In co-operation with An Comunn the Post Office have produced a bi-lingual airmail letter which is available at all post offices. 9 Last year's National Mod at Ayr was an outstanding success and we are confident that this Mod at Dundee will be equally successful. We are grateful to the Dundee Mod Committee for excellent preparatory work over the last two years. We are most grateful to Local Authorities throughout the country for their generous support of the work of An Comunn, both generally and for specific projects, notably the Correspondence Course. We should also like to express our gratitude to Messrs. John Player & Sons for continued financial support in the provision of prizes for Senior Choirs and adult Piping Competitions. We are very glad to note that this year Messrs. John Player & Sons are extending their sponsorship of prizes to take in the Rural Choirs. This is a very generous gesture for which we are very grateful. We should like to express our thanks to all those who have worked with us and encouraged us throughout the year - Branches which ran Provincial Mods, Schools which included Gaelic in their curricula, teachers who devoted time and skill to teaching our language and song, parents who encouraged their children to use the language of our people and many Others too numerous to mention. The coming year is one of vital importance to Gaelic and we confidently ask the support of all our friends for the proposals which we shall certainly be putting forward. We now have four Regional Councils in An Comunn. The recent formation of the Argyll Region adds considerable strength to our forward move towards a better and more equitable deal for our language and our people.

'S e buannachadh am feabhas a tha 'g adhbharachadh air cultaic do na h-ealainean, agus mar sin tha e ceart gum bitheamaid an co-bhonn ris A' Chomunn Ghaidhealach ann a bhith ag adhartachadh ealain sluagh sonraichte aig an tri ficheadamh Mod Naiseanta's a h-aon. Tha e 'na adhbhar uaill dhuinn gur sinn a bha 'nar meadhon air samlladh follaiseachadh na cruinne a thaobh dualchas na Gaidhlig - A' Phiob Mhor - a thoirt a steach dhan Mhod Naiseanta do dh'inbhich agus tha sinn an dochas gum bi an cultaic a cuideachadh gu misneachd a thoirt do dheagh luchd-seinn tighinn air adhart gu tlachd a thoirt dhuibh. G. A. Iden, Fear Cathrach agus Ard Fhear Stiuiridh, lain Player agus a Mhic. The pursuit of excellence is the underlying theme of our support for the arts, so it is appropriate that we should be associated with An Comunn Gaidhealach in fostering the folk art of a great people at the seventy-first National Mod. We take pride in having been the means of bringing that world- recognised symbol of Gaelic culture - the Great Highland Bagpipe - into the National Mod at senior level and hope that our support of the major choral competitions is helping to encourage more fine singers to appear for your enjoyment. G. A. Iden, Chairman and Managing Director, John Player and Sons. 10 An Comunn Gaidhealach
