Nusic is Theme of Twin Addresses At Rotary Club Meeting Friday' Custom deviated siightly at the Ïeekly luncheon meeting of the Bowmanviile Rotary Club Friday, September Ist, at the Balmoral Hotel, when the regular guest speaker's spot on the agenda was taken over by Rotarians Keitb Siemon and Keith Jackson. Be- tween them, they entertained Ro- tary by offering an opportunity to club members bo exercise their vocal cords and chuckle 10 a dra- mnatic presentation of humour. * "The Two Kelths" Billed as "The Two Keitbs," the duel swung mbt an harmonious, if somnetimes discordant, rendition of their theme song, "Show Me The Way To Go Home." Introduction complete, Dr. Keith Slemon posed himself bebind the lectern and toid Rotarians that although a star-studded program had been carefuliy arranged, Danny Kaye, bhc Bell Singers and The Four Gentlemen could not corne because of previous en- gagements at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. Musiç la the fourtb great ma- terial need, according to Rotarian Siemon, and "wbether we know it or not, there is a need in eacl" ane of us that music can suppiy." In hi$ opinion, it appeals to the lovers of the beautiful, and quoI. ing Thomas Carlyle on music he said, "Il may lead us to the edge of the infinite and for moments let us gaze into it." Brief History AnCient people knew notbing of musie in comparison to wbat we know today. It was piayed on drumi4. and flutes for no apparent, reason other than rnaking.' noise. The Hebrexv and Serian, however, introduced music imb their re- ligio n.. It might be said that ancient Greeks gave impetus to the evo- lution of music by linking it ivith poetey, for they were the first to do il. The Roman worid added the organ and 'strangely enough, the bagpipes." jIn the i6th century, Martin Lu- ther, the German ecclesiastic who led a reiigious revolution, reviv- ed the appreciation of music. ln the l7th century, the first operat- ic company was formecl and at the same time, musical instru- ments, bandled by competent mu- sicians, became numerous. Concluding bis short introduc- tion t0 the choral phase of the progeam, Dr. K. Siemon said, 'There is one common denomin- ator to most good music, and that is beauty, purity and melody." AIl Maie Chorus "Roll Rotary," the iilting song synonmous with the service club'$ name, keyed members mb oa' singing-pitch" and set the stage for an harmignious "Home On The Range." Rotarian George E. Chase pleased club members by contributing a solo, second stanza of the one-time favourite of the late President Roosevelt. "Stod- ala Pumpa" and 'Onward Christi- an Soldiers" ended the first hall of the vocal program. "The Sermon" Considering il proper, after tbe singing, 10 address the gathering, Rotarian Keith Jackson took the lecteen to deliver "the sermon" en- titied "The Anthcm."

W. is a vcrbatimn report: "I listencd 10 the church choir sing an anthem 'bout the settin' sun, they had one awful lime, I'11 sav. before they got the settin' donc. The organist be started first, a-playin' somethin' soft and low, a littie taon a-runnin' through with no place marked for it 10 go. -Well, thon he nods his head a speil and 57 singers rose, 10 sing in 57 ways Just how the sun she cornes and goes. -Righit at the first one lady sang, the rest *ust standin' there a speil, just like as they would let ber go and have her fili of sacred yeil. She went up bigh, about two feet, a-tellin' of the settin' sun, ancý 1mw il mneant b ail the birds that one more day was through and done. "Then ail the rest they butted ini and sang about their Sunday best, the aim a-seemin' unto me 10 tell the sun went over west. "0f course, that's somethin' we ail know, we see the thing most cvery night, but then the singers seemed t0 want to clear updoubt and set things right. *"Well, thon some basso he chirped in and sang notes low dowu 10 bo is shoes, describin' Ibis here settin' sun in ail ils reds and pinks and blues, and be kept sinkin' iike the suni, a-strikin' at the notes kerplunk, asurin' us for sure the sun had gone and sink and sank and sunk. "About Ibis lime the other folks got tired of bavin' nought 10 do, decidin' thal they'd chin in then and do a little singin' 100. And so lhey started in to tell, as though the thing xvas stili quite new, about the closin' of the day and where the sun was beadin' bo. "A tenor then took up the job, a-liftin' up bis voice on high. 10 break the news unto the folks the sun was sinkin' 'neath the sky. "*They wouidn't let that old sun sink just like she ought to go and do, tlxey fishied the sun up once again and made ber sink beneath the blue.' 'We was a-thinkink' by Ibis lime the sun was sunk behind the sod, and that by now the moon and stars would be appearin' -on the Job., But Plhbe biest if that could be, for Mr. Bass he boliers loud, as how the sun's a-sinkin' now and sildin' down bebind a cloud. ',When they got through I didn't know, I tried to give the thing a tbought, I ain'I quite sure though even yet, if they sank that sun or iiot." Editor Mentioned The Anthern's rendition was greeted with a hugo ovation from Rotarians, and it was during this period of the program that Keith Jackson expressed kind thoughts of The Statesman's Editor, Geo. W. James. He even saw fit to add a siight tribute 10 George and to ail wcekly editors across Canada. He read a verse entitled "The Couîntry Eritor. The Editor stood at the Pearly Gale His facc was wan and old, He kcenly asked the man of fate Admission 10 the foid. '\Vhat have you done," St. Peter asked To seek admission here?" -IJ kept a country printîng plant For manv and many a year." The Gates swung open wider As St. Peter touched the bei!, "Corne in," he said, "and take a harp, You've had enough of Hel!" Sing-Song Again Keith' Siemon as son.g leader took over command of the ýp- plauding once more and Rotarians lent thciÈ voices to such old fa- x-ou rites as "Iln The Evening By The Moonlight' Our )Boys xvîll Shîine Tonîight. aiid "In The YOUR EYvES and.

The finale was the Rotary song which hinges around the actual spelling R-O-T-A-R-Y. More Noise But it was not only the iboist- erous singing of club members that provided ail the noise at the luncheon. Indeed, one table in the south-east corner of the din- ing hall was singled out as being '1consistentiy noîsy." Subsequent- ly. Sergeant-At-Arms Howard Rundie brought forth balloons, and passing thema among the constant offenders, suggested a competition to see who had the most wind. Rotarian Abby Darch won, but then he p]ays a wind instrument professionally. His prize? Another balloon. In another instance, two Ro- tarians staged a ýballoon blow-up race. "Didn't know you were that fult of wind," said the man with the smaliest balloon at the haif- way mark. 'What keeps you off the ground," a gasped retort came back. From the viewpoint of ail mem- bers, the Rotary luncheon was a successful affair. Flowers and Guests Rotarian Lin Mîtchel thanked Keith Jackson and Dr. Keith Sie- mon for staging a program "which was thoroughly enjoyed." Presi- dent Jack Eastaughi added his congratulations wben closing the meeting. Rotarians Frank Jamieson and Pete Neweii received birthday fiowers. Guests at the Friday luncheon included: Rev. A. E.j Eustace, Orono; Walter Carter, Toronto; F. C. Adsett and E. G. Gurnett of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission's Belleville office; Keith Billett, Bowman- ville's newest optomnetrist, and Rotarian Eric Jones, Oshawa. A Statesman Want Ad wili seli articles no longer needed, and possibly pay for a month's oil or a ioad of coal. Apprentice training on Canad- ian railroads origin*ed in 1870, on the Grand Trunk Railway. Ati present, on the Canadian National, successor 10 the Grand Trunk, five-year terms of apprentice1 training are given in eleven dif- ferent trades..1 -<cl,/vl Noe>O Conservation is a feequentiy-used word these days in Ontario. Nor are we awakening to the seriousness of the situation a minute too moon. The increasing evidence of soil erosiori, fioods and poor soil management is appalllng. As I travel the province, the signs of increased pride in our homes tbrilîs me but bare hilîsides, deep gulleys and rich soil deposited in hoilows modify my feelings of jubilation. Even the urban dwelier can do his part to help the situation by maintsini' soul fertility and planting trees. Týhere ino need to wait until next apring te plant one, as most will do well when pianîed in September. Rlawmed If you look longingly at andirona and fire baskets for your fireplace but decide they're stili beyond the budget, bey Ibis simple suggestion picked up while visiting a friend's cottage. An oid steel tire nim bad been picked up aI a junk yard and cut with a back-saw as shown in the illustration. Placed in the fireplace, the rim was particularly e!ective and flot unattractive. The open space permitted good draught and the rim made the task of cieaning ouI the ashea niuch iighîer. Jewel aux«s Christmas is ai!l a long way off but nt least one person is thinking about il. 1 found my sister making jewel boxes aq Yuletide gifla for a few of hec frieads. Tin powder boxes and cardboard cheese boxes were being transformed int attractive jewei cases. The bright plaid covering on soma of the hoxs was as eye.catchjng as the frugaines of the ides. Ski Holder If you have tripped over your skis al summer as bhey reclined in the corner -of the garage, you'll be rceptive to a suggestion for their atorage. Try hang- ing them between the studs as ahown in the illustration. I did and it hanu been marvellous. .; HAYDON -* Mr. and Mrs. Jack PotIs and Tommyi witb relatives in Colling- wood.
