PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TO WN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 703, AD Departments Kinsmen Band Concert Draws Large Audience The Whitby Kinsmen Boys' Band reigned supreme lasi night on the occasion of the first public concert to be presented by the band since its inception seven short months ago. In September, 1946, Kinsmen , and citizens alike said they would have to be shown how a band could be organized and taught to play to- gether in seven months as per the promise of the original bandmaster Ragnar Steen. Last night the boys of the band did show the citizens of Whitby that they could play to- gether after only a short while and when the final curtain came down on the presentation there was mot a member of the audience that was disappointed in the performance. The program consisted of a very well selected repertoire of marches, waltzes and novelty numbers and the band under the direction of Kinsman Cam Marchant and the assisting artists turned in a brilli- ant performance. One of the high- lights of the evening was the singing of a group of young Whitby girls under the direction of Mrs. P. N. Spratt. The all-girl ensemble rend- ered several beautiful numbers and were roundly applauded by those in attendance. Mayor William Davidson, who gave a short address in connection with the concert, congratulated Bandmaster Cam Marchant and members of the band on the fine showing they had made and stated that the Town of Whitby owed a debt of gratitude to the Kinsman Club of Whitby and in particular to former bandmaster Ragnar Steen who had conceived the idea of the band. prior to leaving the town to take up residence in Ridgetown. Mayor Davidson stated that it was almost unbelievable that the band could perform so profession- ally considering the short, time they have been playing together. He said that a great deal of the credit must of course go to Mr. Marchant and Mr. Steen for the interest they have taken in the project. Mr. Davidson drew to the atten- tion of those present that it was the first time in the history of y that the town could boast of s' band and that it was a fact f which the town could be proud.

Saying that it was the intention of the Kinsman Club to sendt each and every member of the bandgway for a holiday this summer' the mayor said that he realided that this could not be done without fi- nances. He added that he wished to make a contribution to a fund which he hoped would grow and which would provide for the boys in the band both toward instru- ments and the cost of a vacation 2 during the summer. Mayor David- son called upon all citizens of 'Whitby to get behind the fund drive and support the band to the limit. Gordon Hawes, president of the Whitby Kinsman Club, expressed his thanks to those in attendance say- ing that it was a true indication of the esteem and feeling the citi- zens had for the project. He said that it was his fondest hope that the citizens would get behind. the band and give it the boost it needed to become cne of the top bands in this section of the country. Praise was heaped on Bandmaster Marchant from all sides following the program and he was roundly congratulated for his efforts in welding the band into shape for their initial concert in the short space of only seven months. Added praise was also directed toward Ragnar Steen who had attended the concert after making a special trip from Ridgetown to be in at- tendance.

Phone 352, Whitby (tr) the start of the war, the Whitby Yacht Club is faced with a tough reorganization problem according to the 'directors. The toughest and most perplexing problem of them all is the fact that the club house is at present surrounded by more than a foot of water due to the fact that the water at the lake is the highest it has been in several years. The club directors have declined to re-open the club until they were assured of sufficient local support from active members. By this they meant that they could see no fu- ture in throwing good money, at present in the treasury, after money already expended unless it was go- ing to be of benefit to someone, Another serious problem that has been confronting the club directors is the fact that the boats at pres- ent owned by the club are not in good repair because of lying idle during the war years. they point out that the boats could be put in good sailing order once again with very little effort provid- ing the interest was there.

They have also expressed the intention of do- ing most of the repair work neces- of the club as it provided a fine source of recreation prior to the war. It is believed possible that with co-operation all along the line both from directors and prospective mem- bers the club can be started again and if so in the near future before it is too late in the season. Many prospective members of the club own their own craft and have been working on their boats for some weeks now. The need for such an organiza- tion has been clearly shown and it will certainly be a feather in the cap of the directors if they decide to make an effort toward the re-es- Jabligment of the yacht club in the wn.
