Parents can our own small town and com- munity from a musical poirft of view, yes and from a cultural point of view. Culture,in my dictionary, Cas- sells, is defined as "a state of in- tellectual and artistic develop- ment." Some will probably argue that they can get along very well without culture and that, to my mind is the first sign that they do need it. We should all admit that we need a steady injection of intellectual and artistic devel- opment if only to offset the rough side of life with which we are faced at all times, especially if we read newspapers and have a suf- ficient number of contacts with other humans in all walks of life. We have all seen and met people who are very well endowed with this world's goods but they could still use a little more culture. On the other hand we meet people who are in the opposite category, little wordly possessions but lots of culture with which to even up the journey through life and give a little contentment. This seems to be developing into a philosophy of life column, My point is that none are exempt and that even to the most cultural, a little more will do no harm. My own experience along this line in 1949 was a rich exper- ience. Through this column alone I entered into some very fine cul- tural discussions, especially about music, with people who either wrote me or stopped me on the street or who spoke to me at so- cial gatherings about certain points. Reviewing the year and start- ing with the younger generation, I am bound to mention the very fine move which the Public School Board made when it appointed a music teacher for the schools. Good work was being done but more assistance is always a help. I also would like to point out the work being done in the churches With their junior choirs. This _Move is becoming more and more prevalent throughout the country and it is a good move, not only musically but also in teaching the younger generation that it is up to them to step into church choirs when they are older and to accept some responsibility in the church life of our nation. Incidentally, I am one of those who happen to think that church fife is very, very important and vital to a happy and contented people. Then the High School Glee Club covered itself with glory in coms petition and the future for this organization is very bright. The Appleby Boys' Choir won in its field at the Kiwanis Festival and Bave an excellent Christmas pro- gramme. Our church choirs hold up but they do not get the sup- port they should get in the grand work they undertake, that of leading the praise in the worship of God. Men, and especially ten- Ors, are needed badly and I feel certain that there must be some around. All it needs is a realiza- tion of the importance of the work, (There have been changes in two churches regarding organists and choir leaders and we wish the newcomers well in their sur roundings. Incidentally, there was a new church opened up during 1949 and music takes an import- ant place in their form of wor. ship. There were several youngsters 'Who took prizes in the instrumen- tal classes and vocal classes at the various school festivals and one or two at the Kiwanis festi- val. Our congratulations and may they keep up continued interest. A new organization which started through the cultural channels of the Arts and Crafts was the Oakville Choral Society, giving its first concert in Apuil, 1949. Many people worked hard at these various activities, some burned with enthusiasm for a while and others became indif- ferent. It always has been like that and always will be and any- one who has a little understand- ing of the whims of human beings never gets overly discouraged. Our local band has-also chang- ed leadership in the past year and great improvement has been noticed. Many young boys are taking up the playing of instru- ments and this augurs well for the future. play a big part in encouraging their children's activities in music at the schools, not just to laugh at them when they practice or wish to tell of what they are doing. It is very interesting and sometimes important to them and should be treated in that manner. There are many, many channels for human endeavor. Because some people will not accept their share of responsibility, others have to shoulder too much, the result being that an inferior job is done or health Is ruined. To combat the many isms, one es- pecially, our people must be hap- py and have a certain amount of contentment. Music can help, be it by performing or listening. If you are a listener, remember that someone has to perform and prac- tice to give you the privilege. Be sympathetic and help if you can, it will help you to be happy. Hap- py New Year. As a parting shot, I ask you to remember that 'our people can sing, compose and act as they wish. There are some parts of the world where people do these things according to the dictates of a few. If what they do does not fit into the scheme of things, it is just to bad. 'Winner of the Week If Miss Lois Lunau, 20 Park Ave, will call at Lafquist's Re- cord Bar, she will be presented with a Red Seal Record with the compliments of the Journal Charges against Ben Walsh, Colborne St. west service sta- tion operator accused of contra- vening the town gasoline closing bylaw by remaining open for business Sunday, Nov. 27, were dismissed in court Thursday by Magistrate Kenneth Langdon. II feel that the objection of de- fence counsel, that the manner of determining rotation of sta- tions remaining open for Sunday sale, is well founded," Magistrate Langdon stated. "The bylaw spec- ifies that council shall determine the system of rotation, yet the chief of police has done So." Clerk Clarence Byers testified the bylaw regulating hours of sale had gone into effect Nov. 24, and that he had advertised the fact in the local press. Each op- erator had also been personally notified, he stated. Constable Péter Devenish told the court that the following Sun- day he found the Walsh station open for business, and that three motorists had purchased gaso- line while he kept the station un- der surveillance. "I informed Mr. Walsh that a rotation system was In effect, and asked him if he was confus- ed as to how it worked," Chief John Derry testified. "He told me he wasn't confused, but that, on advice of counsel, he had decided to contest the validity of the by- law."

Freeman concerning the list, but I do not know if he had it ap- proved by council or not." Mr. Conachie protested what he termed the "discrimin- atory feature" of the bylaw. "If the discrimination permitted by the act is not used in a reasonable way, it becomes an abuse of 'the powers conferred," he contended. "Creation of a monopoly by de- fining areas that make except- ions of Shell Oil and Diesel Mar- ine Co. make this statute such a rank discrimination that it does constitute abuse." OAKVILLE 1060 1060 RADIO DESPATCHED (Ags Town Solicitor Angus MacMil- lan held that s designa- SSE -- ted by the bylaw did not discrim- inate against the ordinary op- erator. "Other stations can be erected, in these areas, but at the moment one operator on Queen Elizabeth Way depends for the most part on transient business, while the Diesel Co. has about 95 percent marine business," he declared, "I feel accused has other avenues of attacking the bylaw, if he so desires, than in this particular manner." "The court feels the exceptions are reasonable, and that council has not discriminated against you," the magistrate told Walsh. "However, I do think that the manner of rotation was not in accordance with the bylaw." CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH CORNER WILSON & COLBORNE STS. Pastor -- Rev. Albert A.
