		The evolving values of today's Scottish Canadian community are thus of vital concern to the social and economic planners of Canada.

	* News @Guelph *
		Although Waterston's specialty at Guelph was Canadian literature and she never had an opportunity to teach in the Scottish studies program, her love of Scottish writing and her research interest in the genre have never waned.
		Waterston links the works of Canadian writers such as Alice Munro, Hugh MacLennan, Margaret Laurence and W.O. Mitchell to Scottish writers such as Scott, Barrie, Robert Burns, Thomas Carlyle and Robert Louis Stevenson.
		Here, she found herself ensconced in a city founded by Scottish novelist John Galt and at a university that was to become world renowned for its academic and archival offerings in the study of Scottish history and culture.

		A lesser Canadian poet might have been tempted by the affinity between, for example, hock and hockey, but Buchanan aims higher, soaring on the viewless pig’s wings of her poesy, but never forgetting her Scottish ‘roots’ (1.17).
		Since even Northrop Frye had Scottish ancestry, there can be little doubt that the Scots were responsible for creating the “garrison mentality,” the “terror of the soul,” and the “[a]dolescent dreams of glory [that] haunt the Canadian consciousness (and unconsciousness)” (Frye 827, 830).
		This neglect is dismaying in view of “the depth of Scottish influence.

		The Scottish military tradition lives on in Canada, perpetuated primarily by the militia regiments and the RCAF and RCR pipe bands.

		As the war progressed, the unit adopted one single set of dress distinctions, and became known as simply "Canadian Scottish".

	Buttons
		However, unit's such as the Royal Canadian Regiment and Queen's Own Rifles of Canada do not wear the crown of the current monarch and their pattern of badges do not change.
		Designs varied from a complete depiction of the cap badge (as on the Toronto Scottish button) to the use of significant icons (ie the falcon's head of the 48th Highlanders or the Little Black Devil of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles).
		Some of the buttons illustrated here appear to have a "Queen's Crown" (in other words, may appear to be postwar in manufacture, as most badges were changed in or after 1953 to reflect the ascention to the throne of a new reigning monarch).

	Studies in Canadian Literature
		Both Calum, a Canadian descendent of displaced Scottish crofters, and Kenn, a native Scot, struggle to decode the barely audible notes emanating from the vacuum created by received notions of history.
		The Scottish ancestral past--the darkness of the diseased blood and the music that rise within Calum--becomes viable for him when it merges with the darkness that is without, the Cape Breton evening and death.
		Calum's ruminations before his fatal fall further parallel the disintegration of the Scottish Highland community with the dissolution of the contemporary Gaelic-speaking community in Cape Breton: "[F]or the first time in the centuries since the Scottish emigrations there is no human life at the end of the dark road" (155).
