Of The MacCrimmons Control Over English Public
Many people journeyed over to "Skye recently, sailing across the Sound of Sleat over a calm, sunlit sea. The Arst of the two island gatherings was held overlooking the shore beside Isle Orngay.
This is a Highland meeting of the oldfashioned sort, Skye, the ancestral home of the Ma¿Crim- mons and the MacArthurs, has this week heard the sound of Highland war pipes carrying for across the land and sea. When at the South Skve Gathering the first piper was turning his pipes, thin clouds were resting on the slopes of Ben Scriol that rise from the waters of Loch Hourn.
At Eton. Harrow and Winchester, three topnotch public schools, soute 2,230 scions of the United Kingdom's wealthiest and most aristocratic families were last year enrolled.

The piping eyerits. Judged by Mr. Archi- bald Campbell of Kilberry, Pipe- Major John Macdonald, and Mr. Seton Gordon, attracted most of the leading pipers of Scotland.
In the competition in classical pipe music, Piper John Wilson was placed first, his tune being a very beautiful pibroch-known as "The swan song of Marion." Owen Mac- Niven, a student of Glasgow Uni- versity, distirigulshed himself by being second, playing "The Lament for Patrick Og MacCrimmon" tunefully and correctly. The winner of the third prize was Malcolm Macpherson. who played "The Earl of Seaforth's Salute."

In the Moscow Kremlin itself sits ex-public school man Rajani Palme Dutt, whe on occasion wears his old school tie when attending secret meetings of the sinister Communist International's Execu- tive

Later he continued his studies abroad, be- came a technical journalist, and was before long appointed Statis- tical Director of the Ministry of Labour. Many times has he pre- sided over statistical conferences ri the International Labour Office at Geneva.

A SUCCESSFUL, GATHERING
There has never been so success-
tul a Skye gathering as that which took place to-day. The day was brilliantly fine the crowd of spectators was easily a record. In the bay yachts rode at anchor, and all the morning a stream of motor-cars poured into Portree.
The piping at the Skye gathering is considered pre-eminent, and the pipers content for the Dunvegan Gold medal and five other prizes. It is a condition that the winner. of the Medal must play a Mac- Crimmon pibroch, and to-day there was very close competition. In the end.
