Our Caravan is coming to your area with a display of

ceangal co dhiubh, cha robh
milleadh ga dheanamh a
Duneideann. Sc fear a Faroe
a cheyd oifigear a chaidh dha
na h-eileanan agus Lochlan-
nach air taobh an far an Tir
vlhoir. Bha tuigse acasan nach
robh aig na Goill a bha
romhpa. Se bha so daoine
cruaidhe a thog aimhreit ris
an Riaghaltas nuair a thoisich
iad ach rinn iad an gnothuich
agus se atharrachadh seirbhis
a Phobuill a chuidich iad. Se
seirbhis ur a tha air a Ghaid-
healtachd an nis. B’fheudar
do gach neach a bha seirbhis
a Phobuill gabhail an Seirbhis
na Gaidhealtachd agus a bhi
dileas dhi, chan ann do
mhaighstirean Dhun Eideann.
Dh’ atharraich am Bord
cuideachd se thann
comhairle. An aile seachdar
tha an diugh aou air fhichead
air; 16 o chomhairlean na
Gaidhealtachd agus 4 o’n riag¬
haltas am Peairt. Air ceann
Ard Chomhairle na Gaidheal¬
tachd tha Gobhearuair a tha-
tar a suidheaehadh airson
deich bliadhna, se esan an
uair sin a tha dol na chleir-
each Ard Chomhairle air son
Alba air fad, ma ni e gu math.
Chaneil siorramachdan ann

againn a nis ach sgi reach dan
le mu 30,000 a shluagh agus
aon roinn mhor airson na
Gaidhealtachd gu ieir. ’Sann
ris an Ard Chomhairle a tha
gach ceangal on deas.
Agus de mun Ghaidhlig ?
Uill, se a Ghaidhlig canan oiti-
geil nan eilean is si dara
canan Alba. Thuig daoine
nach eil an Fhrangais a dean-
amh feum ach don 2 per cent,
a tha ’ga toirt nas fhaide nan
Ard sgoil. Airson a chorra
cha robh iad a dol a dhean¬
amh feum dhi co dhiubh. A
nis leis a Ghaidhlig a bhi a
togail ’sna sgoiltean tha iad
a tuigsinn barraehd mun
dualchas fhein, mun eachd-
raidh is mun ceol agus le linn
an da chultur tha Alba fhein
air aite ur a lorg ann an lit-
reachas san ealain. Nach eil
na fir a tha an ard inbhe gu

Cha chreideadh thu mar a

BMC car owners
Before 30th June you
must fit seatbelts.
If your car was registered between 1st January, 1966 and
31st March, 1967 you must have front seat belts fitted
before 30th June. But which belt is right?
If you own an Austin, Morris, M.G., Riley, Wolseley, or
Princess, the choice is simple — the BMC belts made for
your car. These will fit the anchorage points
already in your car. To fit the wrong belt is
as dangerous as fitting no belt at all. We are
your fitting station. We will supply and fit
whichever one you want.
