Vic-President David Higgon, Who occupied the chair in the absence o! Presidant Garnet Ricke- ard, assurect Mr. Armstrong that ,the Bowmaniville Rotarians would .ive serious considaration to both 'of his challenges. î Aimis of Music Festival " Introducad by Rotarian John 14 James, M.P., the speaker who is chairman of the Kiwanis Festi- val, outlined the aims and objec- tives o! the annual music festi- val there and told how the affair 15 organized. Primarv aim o! the festival, he said, is to encourage talentad competitors to continueI their music studies and, if pos- sible, to provide them with finan- cial assistance to do so. This year 12 schoiarships of S50 each xiii be awarded to participants in the festival for music lessons, and thesa amounts will be paid to their music instructors as tuition. Mr. Armstrong pointad out that thase scliolarship)s wouid flot ne- cessarily go to the winners in the various events but to participants whom the adjudicators fait would get the most benafit fromn further music training. He statad that many successlui artists in Canada had gotten the first recognition o! their ability at music festivals sucli as the one sporisored by the Kiwanis Club o! Peterberough. Musical Talent Reeognlzed "Ray Dudley is one who got early recognition at our festival", Mr. Armstrong said. '"You are justly proud o! Ray and we join you in that pride. We hava halp- cd many a youngster get his start by the Kiwanis festival". The speaker also stated that The Canadian Statesman had played a very important part in the success of the Peterborough festival. -'By the interest it has shown and the publicity it has givan to it, The Statesman lias created a situaýion whereby we receive *more antries from this area than from any other area which we serve", Mr. Armstrong, declared. The speaker said that entrias from Bowmanville, New-! castle, and the area to the north o! Bowmanviile are heavier than from any other area, and that credit for this belongs to the local paper. Public Support Important Ha pointed out that public support is very important to the suceess of the festival. If the fi- nancial aspect were more favor- able it would assure that more promising contestants would re- ceive greatar financial assistance for continuing their studias. It wouid also heip te defray the ex- penses o! contestants whe some- times must travel a considerabie 'j' A DREAM CODE TRUE i Your dream of owning your own home can corne true: We have everything necessary to help you build that home you and your wife have always wanted.

Expenses could also be cut down, if local music festivals could be held in the varlous towns and only the top contestants at these festivals enter the Peter- borough festival. It was at this point that Mr. Armstrong issued his challenge to the Bowman- ville Rotary Club te re-activate the Durham County music fes- tival. Ha pointed out that there are also public speaking competitions, verse spaaking, and dramatic competitions at the festival and there was something for every- one who wished to take part. The Peterborough Kiwarnis Club would be glad to see a choir from the Bowmanville Rotary Club taka part in the competition for service club choirs, he said. Personal Satihfactlon Mr. Armstrong said that there was great personal satisfaction from helping to organize the music festival and knowing that one is doing something to help further the musical education and experience o! the contestants. "We know that we are rendering a service to our community and helping privileged children, for it is a privilege for thema to take part in the competition", he stat- ed. There are no financial rewards for sponsoring the festival, he pointed out, since the Peterbor- ough Kiwanis Club have spent $6,000 on this project in six years Hoxvever, the club memn- bers do obtain their reward in the enjoyment they receive from the work and the sense o! satis- faction of doing somnething worth- xvhile for their comunity. Mr. Armstrong \vas thanked on behaif of the local Rotary Club by Rotarian Keith Jackson. Vice- President Higgon, in calling on John James to introduce the speaker, stated that the arrange- ments for the meeting had been made by Editor Geo. W. James o! The Statesman. Mr. Higgon calied on Rotarian Dave Morrison to make the an- nual presentation of the Rotary Character Award, which is awarded to the boy at the On- tario Training School for Boys here who, in the opinion of the staff, has shown the best acad- emie ability, athletic ability, good conduct and spirit of coop- eration. Winner this year is Ar- chie Simmermaker, and Mr. Mor- rison presented the gold statuette to hlm. Vice-President Higgon congra- tulated the Sirnmermaker boy on winning the award and wished hlm success and good luck in the future. He also thankad J. H. Brown, Supt. o! the B.T.S., both for making the selection o! the winner and bringing him to the luncheon. Visiting Rotarians were George Terry of Oshawa and Max Hof!- man of Brantford.

This low percentage of increase, too, is shown in the face of an increase in the index figure for materials of 93.9%CI and of Masàey-Harris hourly rates of pay of 165%ý as can be seen by referring to the chart shown above. Also, the indexes show that while farmi nplements have onily increased 66.5%1- there has been an increase in the price of farm products of 93.8 % and the scarcity of farin labour has caused farm wage rates to climb to 175.3%'. The partial absorption of the increased costs of materials and labour has been made possible by the continued great world demand for farm mechan- ization giving a volume that perniits a low ratio of selling expenses and high operating efficiency in manufacturing.
