Coppelia, Delibes' classic charmer among ballets, con- trasts the precision of 'the danc- ing doll with the mobility of a living dancer. The doll can whirl and strut in a clockwork copy of dancing, but lacks the fluid grace which gives the true dance its beauty. The Toronto company, after 10 years of swift development since its creation, seems now to be like a Coppelia coming to life. The next decade could see the National Ballet progress from competence to greatness. Signs of the transition can al- ready be seen. A. H. Franks, editor of Britain's Dancing Times, wrote during the com- pany's ninth season that the Canadian company reminded him of the Sadlers Wells ballet "in outstanding periods of their development." RAPID GROWTH Franks credited the National Ballet with 'the most rapid growth in the history of ballet" and said the company 'now can rank as a fully professional group qualified to appear with acclaim in any of the world's ballet capitals." But the British expert went on to say that the troupe's re- serve strength is "dangerously inadequate." While such stars as Lois Smith from Vancouver "would rank true ballerina status in any country where classic ballet holds sway," from his handsome wife. {tawa and their Kayville farm.

Salesman 90 Years Old HALIFAX (CP)--George M. Robinson is a salesman, and he's 90 years old. As an agent for half-a-dozen companies he sells shoes, shirts, office sup- technical and greeting and strength and allow time "for the gradual flowering of native choreographic talent." HARD WORK AHEAD The consolidation of past gains and the development of depth is likely to take more time and offer fewer of the spectacular spurts of growth which marked the first years of the National Ballet. Toronto critic Nathan Cohen has indicated that the company should no longer be handled gently merely because it is young and Canadian. Cohen observes that it now is "entirely valid to appraise the plies, gra cards. He wasn't always a salesman, however. In the closing years of the last century he helped run his family's livery stable, but in 1900 he bought a car and became Halifax's first car salesman. A few years before that he established the first tourist busi- ness in the province, conducting tours in a five-seat buckboard as far as Toronto and Florida. One of the oldest active mem- bers of the Masonic order in the Commonwealth, he belongs to the lodge founded by Edward Cornwallis, founder of Halifax. Nationa] Ballet in comparaitve terms with the great ballet or- ganizations of the world." Some experts have begun to hint already that the company has gone as far as it can with home-grown talent alone. Others have scorned the first attempts ot the company's own choreographers and its commis- sioned Canadian composers to produce original ballets. But, as Montreal critic Syd- ney Johnson puts it: "We have got a ballet company that has already achieved some sort of professional reputation and we cannot let it go. "We can criticize it, quarrel with it, tell it what it ought to be doing, but we must hang on to it. If we let this one die from Newfoundland Has Various Dialects ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP)--Dr. George Storey, professor of English at Memorial University here, says Newfoundland has as big a variety of dialects as is likely to be found anywhere. In some cases the English spoken has remained practi- cally unchanged since the first settlers arrived, but in others, words and pharses peculiar to Newfoundland have developed. Dr. Storey, who is preparing a dictionary of Newfoundland words, says the English spoken in Newfoundland is not stand- ard English, Canadian English or American--but "just as use-| ful as English spoken any-| where." | country on her own to further her husband's cause. i Since February and right| into the last week before the| New Party leadership conven- tion here she went on four speaking tours of CCF and New| Party clubs and trade union] groups. { "Wives of politicians do what] they can to help their hus-| ," she said in an interview from Atikokan in Northwestern) Ontario to Montreal. I "Some women think teas and 'coffee parties are enough. I feel I should do more than that." Travelling alone on trains and spending an average of six to seven hours in one city, she covered nine cities in the tour, speaking from a few notes and then presiding at question-and- 'answer sessions. She was on the go every day except Sunday. LIKES CAMPAIGNING | "I like doing this," said the 36-year-old mother of four chil- dren ranging in age from 5 to 14. "I don't think another lead- t's wife has gone out on her own like this before." « "But it is very difficult run- fing a home. Our children as- sociate politics with our not be-| 4ng home for any great length| of time." « Mrs. Argue, who maintains two homes for her family--one in Ottawa and the other on their| Kayville, Sask. farm--has a housekeeper care for the chil-| dren while she's away. * She prides herself on being an organized person "but some-| thing has to suffer and it is my housework -- which will al-| ways be there." "The children are good about | it, and love hamburgers and hot| dogs." { During the New Party con-| vention, Lynda, 14, Gregory, 11, Susan, 7, and Dawn, 5, will live in a tent behind the family's four-bedroom Ottawa home as the Argues expect to accom- 'modate at least 10 guests from | out of town. | Looking cool in a sleeveless] striped dress which comple-| mented her tanned skin, she) spoke enthusiastically about her| new role. MEN AT MEETINGS | "I'm surprised how many] men have turned out to hear me| talk. They like the idea of 'my| being around and think it's won-| derful that I take so much in terest in my husband's work." | Mrs. Argue found the tour ex-| hausting, though exciting. She] offset tenseness by exercising] at night and reading. l Her advice to other politi-| cians' wives: "The main thing| is to be yourself. People will take you as you are." | She would like to see more women active in politics, | "If they realized that 85 'per cent of the money earned is spent by them and if they knew how politics affect everyday life, I think they would be interested in it. "And men should be more interested in taking their wives out to meetings and nominating them as secretaries and local officers." Mrs. Argue also helps her husband by performing secre- tarial duties in his office, and she enjoys entertaining his par- Jaientary friends and his con-| stituents. ' Last year, without the help of | Assortment of Girls' Clothing, si caterers, she fed some 60 id ers who had participated in a march on Ottawa. The same] day she spent the afternoon entertaining 20 women farmers. The former Jean Ignatescue,| born of Austrian and Romanian parents, grew up on a prairie farm in the drought of the 1930s] and took an early interest in politics. She broke and trained| the yearly crop of colts raised by her father in the early days, and played softball at school. She was assistant secretary for the 1945 CCF election cam- paign in the riding of Wood Mountain, where Hazen Argue, a young farmer of Kayville whom she had known all her life, first sought public office.
