In the fall of 1946, the Barring- ham company commenced an ex- pansion program involving the erection of a new two-storey building, the installation of new machinery, equipment, and the re- arrangement of their production lines designed to substantially in- crease the volume and diversifi- cation of their products. The company is one of the largest manufacturers in Canada of rub- ber and plastic sheeting.

Then, on moonlight nights, for Johann dared not burn a candle, he sat on the deep ledge of his window and copied the precious score. His eyes nev- Johann Sebastian Bach For centuries the Bach family contained an unbroken generation of musicians. Great grandfather Miller Bach was so devoted to performing at festivals that milling never pros- pered. Grandfather ~~ Weaver Hans mace for his wife and for each of his numerous family an instru- ment. There were among them marvellous fiddles, some with one string and some with 20, wooden wind instruments like flutes and drums that even the smallest tot could play. And merry times he and his little orchestra enjoyed to- gether. Ambrosiys Bach, father of Jo- hann, was also a musician and he held the position of court organ- ist. He lived in the quaint Thur- ingian town of Eisenach. It was here at Risenach, March 21st, 1685, Johann was born. Johann Sebastian Bach was not a prodigy but a brave, industrious child, and his father taught him to play the violin. For generations the Bach fam- ily had formed themselves into a musical guild and met once every year in different towns for two-day celebration. Each per- formed on his favourite instru- ment and they sang chorals, bal- lads and comic songs together. These were very happy memor- ies for Johann. Then his father and mother both died before his 10th birth- day. His older brother, Chri: toph, organist at Ohrdruff, decid- ed to adopt him, When he left home he was allowed to take the thing he loved best, and he took his father's violin, Johann was sent to school and taught music, but was allowed to practice only one hour a day. He often went off into the woods with his violin to practice and then was punished for disobedi- ence. Christoph had a good mus- ical library, which he kept locked. Johann, tired of practicing the a er recovered from the strain. At the age of 14, he left his brother's home and with a school friend went to Luneberg. Music in most German towns was a very important element, and the best singers were set apart for the cathedral choir. The hoy's sweet voice and charming playing sur- prised the town's people, and presently he led the choir, and in part payment his education was given him in the gymnasium. For the rest, he was allowed to sleep in the organ loft, and he had an occasional bowl of soup and a bit of rye bread. Sometimes on a holiday he went to Hamburg, a hundred miles dis- tant, to hear the celebrated organ- ist, Reinken. After listening to the wondrous music filling the ca- thedral, he vowed to devote his life to organ music. When he was but 18 years he received an appointment as or- ganist in the church at Arnstadt,, with a salary of $40 a year; while he was there he took a vacation without leave. He went to Lu- beck to hear Buxtehude, the greatest organist of his age. When he returned his playing was call- ed fantastical. At about this time he married his cousin, Barbara. He became court organist and director of concerts at Weimar. His mag- nificent organ compositions be- long very largely to this period of his life." He made himself famil- iar with all the mechanical details of organ building, so that builders from all over the country came to Weimar for suggestions from him. While there he visited the splendid court of Augustus IT of Saxony, to accept a challenge with Marchand. Marchand dis- appeared. He was afraid to play before Bach. It is said that Bach discovered the human hand. Before this the thumb, in playing had hung down idly over the keys, and the fourth finger was very sparingly used, Bach employed all the fingers, (To be continued) WANTED LICENSED AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC - APPLY - OAKVILLE MOTORS Colborne St. at Reynolds Phone 460 'Thursday, October 14, 164g Local Firm Announces New Appointments ©.
