STORM
OVER
KILTS
(Government
to
Return
Kilts
Taken
From
Reserve

at
Outbreak
of
War
By
DOUGLAS
HOW
Canadian
Tress
Stall
Writer
OTTAWA
Qh
Temporarily
at
least,
controversy
died
away
and
the
kilt
has
been
left
to
work
out
its
destiny
in
Canada's
military
ranks.
It
arose
from
the
Defence
Department's
post-war
decision
that
Canada's
reserve
Highland
and
Scottish
units
there
are
roughly
15
from
Nova
Scotia
to
British
Columbia
would
be
issued
batttcdrcss
for
training
and
parades.
v
Only
pipers,
Ottawa
announc-edi
will
receive
the
kilt
at
government
expense.
BeJore
the
war,
the
government
gave
uniform
allowances
to
reserve
army
units
and
Highland
outflts.could
put
the
money
towards
kilts.
Some
wealthy
units
bought
their
own
kilts.
Men
trained
and
paraded
In
them
and
when
war
came
in
1939
they
put
them
on
nnd
were
happy.
But
the
battle-dress
reolaced
them
and
continues
to
replace
them
In
the
new
peace.
Units
complained
that
they
were
'being
sapped
of
their
glamor,
their
lure'
for
recruits.
Ottawa
raid
Highlanders
could
buy
kilts
if
they
wanted
them,
but
could
only
wear
them
on
srch
occasions
as
ceremonials
and
for
walking
out.
Later,
as
protests
continued,
Ottawa
said
the
kilts
taken
away
from
reserve
units
at
the
outbreak
of
war
would
be
returned.
Eventually
the
storm
subsided.
Reviewing
the
situation
recently
in
the
Ottawa
Citizen,
J.
M.
Younger
warned
that'"if
the
kilt
goes
'nac
malr
we'll
sec
such
deeds
again"'
as
those
of
Canadian
Highland
battalions
in
two
world
wars.
He
recalled
that.
Highland
traditions
and
color
were
such
that
once

ment

The
extraneous
influence
has
been
strong
In
Canada,
too.
"Members
of
200
Scots
organizations
throughout
Canada
.
.
.
have
evinced
little
concern
over
the
matter.
In
fact
some
of
them
have
signified
they
might
welcome
the
move
to
banish
the
kilt
tcmlporarlly
if
lt
would
result
in
the
rc-establlshment
of
the
connection
between
units
and
their
originators,
the
latter
in
most
cases
cither
these
very
Scots
organizations
or
Individual
members
thereof.
In
that
way,
they
say,
personnel
with
Scots'
majority
origin
would
be
restored,
leading
to
continuity
of
glamor,
tradition
and
splendid
service.
"Across
the
Dominion
today,
apart
from
military
units,
more
than
175,000
people
own
and
often
wear
the
kilt.
The
number
of
Highland
dancers
In
Canada
exceeds
50,000
and,
as
for
pipers
and
drummers,
they
are
legion."
Then,
growing
more
sentimental,
he
adds:
"Nevertheless
'Lochaber

jvalls
across
the

square.
'Jock'
stands
shivering
in

'troosers,'
quaking

Highland
soldier
will
be
his
'Balmoral
hat'
or
'cocked

He
is

sad
Highland
laddie
as
he
thinks
cf
the
proud
days
when
ho
was

as
"a

"And

scmeonc
is
lurking
fearful
of
