THURSDAY, APRIL 27TH, 1939 The Musical Event of the Year iThe words of Sir Walford Davies - "They do nat beat each other, but pace ecd other tawards perfection" - may well be the motta of Durham County Musical Festival which will be held this year in Port Hope, May 9 - 10 - 11. For several years now this important event bas been held with pleasure and satisfaction to those who gave it support, and with profit ta the scores who engaged in the numerous class- es. Trhe variaus competitions are open to young pelople in ail parts of the Durhamn County. They include vocal and instru- mental tests for timid beginners of prim- ary-class years and for persons more ad- vanced who have had years of training. In ail the yetars, thase respansible for the arrangement af the programmes and for the management of the important event. haveo enjoyed the ca-operation and support of the mnusic loyers of the county, hence the encouraging success achieved without interruption since the inauguration of the The valuerof music cannot bc too highly valued. In ail ages and ini ail lands it bas exercised a beneficial and inspiring in- fluence upon yaung and aid. Tumulte have. bee!n quelled, fear bas been removed, batties have been won, lives have been renewed under, the spell of the mighty power of music. IIow important, then, is the encourage- ment given by organizations such as the Durham Musical Festival, and how valu- able is 'the incentivd to study and ta prac- tice inspired by this annual event! Children who cultivate a lave of music and sang are not sa iikely to fali into evil habits, nor ini lateir years becoine a charge upan the State. Ail honour ta the men and women who are giving 80 mênch of their time in spon- soring an enterprise which la rightly con- sidered beneficial toa ah who actively engage iu its variaus classee and of lasting value to the community. We look forward ta not only a repetition of former successes, but ta further substantial advances. The. Value of Protective Fooda Sir John Boyd Orr, eminent Scatch phy- siojan who i» touriug Canada and addressed the Victorien Order of Nurses at Ottawa, made the foilowing among oCher valuable statemeuts : " if we could insure that every .person in auy country, especially thel mothers and ehildreu, enjayed a diet fully adequate for ,health, the uext gen«ration wauld be free from a great deal of the ill-health which affliets the present generation and wauld eujoy a mtuch higher standard of health, with the enjayment of life which health brings. To attain the uew standard of héalth we need a new standard of diet which wiIl provide a sufficient amount of al the food substances which the body needa ta attain its full inherited capacity for health and physical fitness. Such a diet consiste very largely of the "protective fooda," sueh as milk, butter, cheese, eggs, fruit and vegetables. In the United King- dom, there has been a great improveanent in the diet in the last twenty years. The consumption of pratective foads excepting milk has increased by about fifty per cent. Aecomanaying the improved diet bas been a remarkabie improvement in health. The worst farseaofnmalnutrition such as bad iekets and scurvy in infants have almast disappeared. Compared with the pre-war period the infant mortality rate has been reduced frani about 100 to 57. Tubercul- osis bas been reduced by about a haîf.

THE CANADIAN WEEKLIES (Editarlal lu Toronto Daily Star) Next Friday and Saturday Uic Ontario and Quebec division o! the Canadian Wsskly news.. papers Association is ta meet at Ottawa. This annual gatherlng la a reminder o! Uic fins part played by Uic weekly prees lu Canadian 111e and affairs; o! Its splsndid contribution te Uic arsas which it serves. It per- forma a service which sanie clty people are apt to undcresthta- ste. They underestimate, too, perbaps, the importance o! the smallsr communities lu wbich many o! the weeklies are pub- lisbed. These communities sup- ply the nation with mare than their share of its farsmost men and wamen; leaders in Uic pro- fessions, lu business 111e, lu pub- li l 11e. Iu journalism, as lu other spheres o! activity, rnany' important posta are held by men who had their early train- ing on a weekly nswspaper. There ila sreasbn fan this. The weelclies are dloser te their field and ta the life o! the, peo- pis Uian any metropalitan newspapen ýcan hope te be. Their writers know personufl; many of those about whomin«hey write. Thsy have their fingers upon Uiecocmmuniity pulse. They are lu toucb with Uic Uioughts and mannsr o! 111e o! thc men and women o! their constituencies to a degres which lu a larger constituency la flot possible. And Uisy learn th be accurate. If thers la a mla*ake lu name or initiais or luntje facts about a local gatherhig, Uisy soan hear about it. Sa Uic training afforded by a wcekly newspaper is luvaluable lu Ifs relation ta Uic realities o! hu- man experience and Uic import- ance o! !aitbful reporting.. A metropolitan nswspaper cultivates its field' «"sx"tensive- iy; a wsekly, "in"tensively. The former reaches out luto thç far corners of tles world for news o! what las happening there. The latter cancentrates on its own district lu a way which a city paper cannot possibly do. Instead o! foreign correspon- dents it has close-te-boms cor- respondents - country carres- pondents Uisy are usually cail- ed - wbo send it weekly bud- gets o! news from, places raund about. These rural part-Urne newspaperrnsn and newspaper- women make a genuine contri- butIon to Uic paper which they serve, and some o! Uism serve it for a lifetime. They give it a home teuch whicb the metra- politanpncss cannot provide. But, lifetinis service la not a manapoiy o! country carres-. pondents. There are weeklies which have been uader Uie management o! ans man for as long as mast people can re- membet. They have taken on his personality, and be and bis paper are ans in the eyss o!

In some cases, in- deed, a paper bas bsen banded dawn frani fathen ta son, and in turn ta the son's son, until it is regardsd flot only as the pro- duct a! an ludividual, but as Uic product o! a !amily. On Uic other hand, there are wseklies whicb have been taken aven b y men trained on clty dailiss, and same o! these have made a con- spicuatas success. Thers la a fine recipracity in it ail: the week- lies making their contribution o! personnel te Uic city papers, and the city papers ta the weekhies. One o! the finest men wbicb wsckly jaurnalism ever gave te ý Toronto or te, any other city was the late Joseph T. Clark, editor of The Star--and on Uila paper there are many athers wba bave had their training lu the small- er centres. The publisher him- self graduated from'-a weekly, and was secrstary-treasurer o! the Canadian Press Association when it lucluded bath dailies and wseklies. Mn.

This V/as well knawn ta those about hlm. luis heant, was great enough te lu-. clude ail, but in Uic last analysis its warrnsst hearth was for thes smail places and Uic smal papers. It la fitting, thsre!ors, that a tropby wbich the publisher o! The Star la donating te Uis Canadian Weskly Newspapers Association for annual campeti- tion should be a Joseph T. Clark i memorial, and so named. It la ta be - awarded ta the best ail- round nswspaper published in a tawn or village of 1,500 or less. And this ysar it will beF presented by the late Mn. Clark~sC talented son, Mr. Gr eg o r y Clark. It la a symbol not only t o! Uic late "Joe" Ciark's affec- tion for the "brethren" o! Uic weekliss, but o! The Star's con- tinusd appreciation o! their splendid service ta their cani- munities and ta Canada.
