Varied Concert f Lakeview Park Sunday Next The program to be given by the Salvation Army Band, on Sunday afternoon, at Lakeview Park, gives promise of real interest. - Featured will be the cornet solo of Musician Ernest Sargeant. A cornetist of the first rank, he will display his virtuosity in a brilliant composition of Eric Leldzen of New York, Mr. Leidzen in addition to his teaching at the Julliard School of Music, is also the arranger for the famous Goldman Band, and has recently finished a complete transcription for the Philadelphia Symphony Or- chestra of the entire works of Bach. The remainder of the concert will be played by the full Band, and for that Bandmaster Herbert Gen- try has chosen the works of a group of composers domiciled in London, England. These men, all of the younger generation, write with a definite trend to modern harmon- ization. This is especially true of Phillip Catlinet, who in addition to his Salvation Army affiliates, is al- so one of the staff muscal arrang- ers for the British Broadcasting Company, Major Rance is also ac- knowledged for his unusual tonal effects. In fact his compositions are very difficult of performance because of the bizarre effects he at- tempts to portray. He is very defin- itely a musical artist, providing in tone what the painter shows in colour. Bandmaster Dove and Skin- ner are more orthodox in their writing approach, but both have Wilyien music that touches the The program is as follows: March, "Thames Valley," Rance; Selection, "Perfect Submission," Dove; Cornet Solo, ."Happy Day," Leidzen; Air Varle, "Sunbeam," Catlinet; Selection, "British Melo- dies," Gullidge; March, "Camber- well," Skinner. .

J. 8. P. Armstrong, agent.general for Ontario in London, sald today that due to delays necessitated by docu- mentation and inquiries the August movement of British immigrants to be flown to Ontario might be less than anticipated but it was hoped that a daily quota of 80 would be reached by September. He estimated about 40 Britons a day would be moved to Ontario by air in August. The scheme calls for a total of 7,000 immigrants for the province. In one week 3,000 letters of ap- plication had been received at On. tario House and about 100 visitors a day were calling in person. "We have 200 accepted and ap- proved for the August flight and another 200 to 300 approved and going through documentation," Maj. Armstrong said. "Many applica- tions have come from Scotland and Northern Ireland and have to be checked but I don't anticipate any difficulty filling the September- October-November plane quota of 80 dally. Those accepted have no contracts but are met on arrival in Ontario by placement officers who give de- tails of available employment in Ontario and seek to direct the im. migrants to less congested areas of the province. London officials had sald earlier that. many applicants withdrew when they found they had to break up their homes so quickly. VACATION NOTES!
