Mrs. ErydGa, Alitair. Eric and Ruth
A Bit of Auld Scotland . . .
' By Maxlne Burcn
r-t Statesman Wonuni Editor
America seem a land of picnics, bubble gum and railroad stations, to four Interesting visitors from
Scotland, who are vacationing in Salem. The travelf .Mrs. Jean Brydon and children, Alistair, 8, Eric, 11 and
Ruth 14, are guests at the home of Mrs. Brydon's brother-in-law, P. H. Brydon and family on Park avenue.
They arrived by train a month ago and plan to go: to San Francisco for a short stay, returning again
to Salem before entraining for the return trip.
The boys, wio wore their kilts of Cameron tartan when I met them, found fascination in bubble gum,
end have become quite expert in the art oif bubble making, according to their mother, who wasn't too happy
over the accomplishment. , ,
Gum too fascinated Ruth, though her Interest centers especially on the fact that "you see gum just stuck
on everything!" There is very little gum in Scotland, according to the visitors, and it isn't chewed in th
best society. ; i
Mrs. Brydon, who took over her husband's ships' repair business upon his death, has some 50 men work- '
Jng under her at her Porth of Leith plant at Edinburgh, Scotland.
Mrs. Brydon wa interested in our "custom of sharing' responsibility of food at "covered dish" picnics, i
When they entertain in Scotland, the hostess provides refreshments," she said. They do very little picnick- ;
ing there, it's too chilly, sh added. j f I
We explained that most wintertime hostesses furnish thf refreshments here too, picnics are less formal.
She marveled at the comfortable trains and the stations fn close proximity to cities, unlike her country,
where one must go far from town to get to the railway itations.
The boys attend George Watson's Boys college and Ruth is a pupil of George Watson's Ladies college. A
"college," they explained, is an elementary school. Children enter preparatory school at 5, go into junior at
7. and to the senior school for 6 years upon arriving at the age of 13. Few(go on the "varsity," as do our
youth. v- '
Vegetable and friuts have been so short that the children have lost a taste for them even bananas.
Many things art still rationed in Scotland, and the Brydons were hungry for candy. Petrol is rationed
cocrding to horsepower of the car and distance to travel. Rations do not allow for pleasure driving, so the
Scots take their pleasure afoot or on bicycles.
