Printed by Wm. Hodge & Co. Ltd, Glasgow ISBN 0307 8957 I' MRS. MOLLIE RENNIE Mollie Rennie has had the honour of being the second lady elected President of the Burns Federation. She was born and brought up in Cambuslang, on the outskirts of Glasgow, and lived there for most of her life, before moving to the Jean Armour Burns Houses at Mauchline in October 1980. She comes from a family of dedicated Burnsians, both parents being active in the Burns movement and holding office in their Burns Clubs. Her mother was the first lady ever to serve on the Executive Committee of the Federation. Mollie joined the Mary Campbell Burns Club in 1948, and became Secretary of the Lanarkshire Association in 1957, a position which she held for four years. In 1958 she became representative for New Zealand and continued in that capacity until 1979 when she became Senior Vice-President of the Federation. She has a family of two girls and a boy, all married with families; Mollie now has seven grandchildren. She trained as a confectioner, later becoming a catering manager. She has travelled extensively to Burns suppers, in Moscow, Leningrad, Canada and Denmark, and this year spoke at thirteen Burns Dinners. She is extremely versatile in this respect, doing the Immortal Memory and the reply to the Lassies, as well as singing and reciting the Address to the Haggis. 5 FROM THE EDITOR YER the past dozen years I have visited Australia several times on business. On those 0 occasions I flew from one capital city to another, lived it up at the Parmelia or the Wentworth, attended a number of business functions and did various radio and television interviews. Each time, however, I came away with the feeling that there had to be more to Australia than publishers' offices and TV studios; and just as one de luxe hotel is pretty much like another these days, so also the down-town areas of big cities are not so very different the world over. My last trip, in March, therefore, was pure self-indulgence--though some might consider it more in the nature of an endurance test. In less than a month I covered over 16,000 miles by road and rail, miraculously escaping the worst effects of the Qantas and New South Wales Railway strikes, and savouring the delights of Dandenong and Darwin, the amenities of Curtin Springs and the cuisine in Cocklebiddy and Three Ways. By the end of the month I had a much better idea of the immensity of Australia and its vast emptiness, diametrically opposite to all my previous impressions. Obviously any country, which is virtually the same area as the United States but only supports 14 million people (two thirds of whom live in the state capitals), must have a lot of open spaces. My only previous experience of the Outback had been visits to King's Park in Perth, but the real thing is difficult to describe. From Darwin to Adelaide, a distance of more than 2,000 miles that is comparable to the distance between London and Jerusalem, the great bulk of the terrain is red sand-enlivened this year (thanks to exceptionally heavy rains in January) by an astonishing profusion of flowers and plants. About 600 miles of the highway, from the Northern Territory border to Woomera, is unsealed--a euphemism that conceals the most horrendous corrugations, potholes, ruts and choking red dust. Imagine a journey as long as the drive from London to Inverness in those conditions! By contrast, my crossing of the continent from Perth to Sydney was accomplished in the height of luxury and comfort aboard Australia's Indian-Pacific, arguably the last of the great trains in the world. The journey takes the best part of four days and three nights and the train is more like a travelling hotel, with a tradition for superb cuisine (the chef was trained at Gleneagles). The well-appointed club car even boasted a piano and during the lull between the first and second sittings of breakfast on the first day out I seized the opportunity when no one else was around to try it out. I retired to my roomette about 8.30 p.m., hoping for an early night, but shortly thereafter there was a knock on my door. 'You were playing the piano this morning', the Senior Car Attendant accused me, 'so we need you for our concert.' He was a great deal bigger than me so I could hardly refuse. I said that I had no music, but I did not get off that easily. Apparently no passenger on the Indian-Pacific worth his or her salt travels without a song-book, while John, the Senior Car Attendant. a fine Irish tenor in the John MacCormick tradition. produced a massive sheaf of music. Suffice it to say that we were still at it at midnight-really only I 0.30 p.m. (Western Australian time) but we had to put our watches forward an hour and a half during the ceilidh when we crossed the border into South Australia. I cannot imagine many sing-songs where you have to put your watch back or forward at half time! Once I had got the hang of the rhythm of the locomotive and could get my fingers on the right keys most of the time the quality of the music improved. It is disconcerting to play a piano at 60 6 miles an hour; even Liberace isn't that fast. I was fortunate in having an undemanding audience, mainly wanting the old faithfuls from 'Amazing Grace' to 'Danny Boy'. Someone had a Welsh song-book, another a volume of Irish songs, and b~fore the night was out I'd learned a few Aussie convict and sheep-shearing ballads. But undoubtedly the most moving experience for me was to play the auld Scotch sangs. Admittedly, there is something bizarre and surreal about the strains of 'I Belang tae Glesca' in the warm night air of the Nullarbor Desert. and I wondered momentarily what the odd passing kangaroo or stray camel would be making of that. Inevitably it was a selection of Burns' songs that proved my undoing. An Irish tenor and a Scots-Australian baritone are a pretty powerful combination, but their sensitive rendition of such haunting ballads as 'The Lass o' Ballochmyle', 'My Luve is like a red, red Rose' and 'Sweet Afton' was a wonderful experience by any standards. When they got to 'Of a' the Airts the Wind can Blaw', however, the tears streamed unstrained down my manly cheeks. 'Is the smoke getting to you, Jock?' John enquired. 'No.' I snuffled, 'I think it's my jet-lag catching up with me!' On my last day in Australia I fulfilled a long-felt desire and had a swim at Swanbourne on the outskirts of Perth. This was another experience that proved my undoing. Not looking where I was going, I stumbled on the beach and stubbed my big toe on a boulder, almost detaching my toe-nail in the process.

The tenants live there, rent and rate free and receive a small pension. Funds are urgently required to complete a further ten Houses. Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John McKenzie's House and 'Auld Nanse Tinnock's' (the 'change-house' of Burns's poem 'The Holy Fair') were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R. Cowie, J.P., Glasgow and, until the new houses at Mossgiel were built, provided accommodation for nine ladies. They are now out-dated as homes but con­ sideration is being given to their being retained by the Association and preserved as a museum.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC JOURNEY TO GREAT BRITAIN MEETING OF JOHN PAUL II WITH LEADERS OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES Murrayfield Tuesday, 1 June 1982 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren” (Gal. 6, 18). 1. It is a joy to meet with you this morning and I am very appreciative of your courtesy in coming at this early hour. Yesterday, soon after my arrival in Scotland, I had the happiness of being greeted by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Right Reverend Professor John McIntyre. In this regard, I cannot fail to recall that first historic meeting in 1961 between the then Moderator, Dr Archibald Craig, and my own predecessor John XXIII; or the courtesy of Dr Peter Brodie during his Moderatorial year in attending, in 1978, both my own installation and that of John Paul I. I am aware too of the significance of last night’s happy venue, the precincts of the Assembly Hall itself, the seat of the Church of Scotland’s Supreme Court, and also the locus of that momentous meeting in 1910 of the World Missionary Conference which is generally regarded as marking the beginnin of the modern Ecumenical Movement. 2. It was in that same spirit of prayerful ecumenical endeavour that I also had the great pleasure last Saturday of meeting representatives of the Church of Scotland and the Episcopal Church in Scotland, together with other British church leaders. I am sure that you will agree with me that such meetings as this have an importance of their own; the very fact that they take place is a witness before the world that, despite the sad history of division between Christ’s followers, all of us who worship the one true God are desirous today of collaborating in the name of God and of working together for the promotion of the human values of which he is the true Author.

  • Classification of Arid & Semi-Arid Areas
    Classification of Arid & Semi-Arid Areas: A Case Study in Western Australia Guy Leech Abstract Arid and semi-arid environments present challenges for ecosystems and the human activities within them. Climate classifications are one method of understanding the climate of these regions, giving regional- scale insight into parameters such as temperature and precipitation. This essay qualitatively compares the application of four different climate classification schemes (Köppen-Trewartha, Guetter-Kutzbach, De Martonne and Erinç) to a transect across Western Australia. The classification schemes show a distinct climatic gradient from the wet coast to the dry continental interior, with the most pronounced gradient located near the coast. Strong agreement is found between weather stations and classifications for wet and dry years, indicating that the weather systems on the coast also govern weather inland. Historically wet and dry periods, as well as long-term drying trends were also identified for the coastal regions, which could affect the livelihoods of many people. A long-term drying trend is also evident at Kalgoorlie- Boulder, the most arid, inland town. These results show that climate classifications can identify major trends and shifts in climate on a decadal or yearly basis, and it is hoped that they will become more widely used for this form of analysis. Introduction Arid and semi-arid environments make up a large portion of the Earth’s surface (Figure 1), and present challenges for human ecosystems located within them. These regions are generally defined as having low average rainfall, often associated with high temperatures, which impose fundamental limits on animal and plant populations, and on human activities such as agriculture (CSIRO 2011, Ludwig & Asseng 2006, Ribot et al.
