NORTH French Dressing It isn't often that the mere male has an opportunity to de- monstrate his ability in prepar- ing fing foods--except, per haps, in France, where hus- bands are possibly just a bit more assertive. The men of St. Jude's church, however, have tried their culinary hands be- fore, and liked it. So once again this aggressive group has arranged to look after all the catering at their annual garden party, to be held on the lawn Saturday from 2 to 10 p.m But, just to' make certain that every last succulent menu detail will be correctly dealt with, they have imported for the occasion Monsieur Fran cois Smeethe, chef par execl- lence, who will act in a super visory capacity that positively guarantees to have mouths happily watering long before the supper hour rolls around. This will be one summer sup- per, gals that you are bound to enjoy! MUSIC ALBUM BY IRVEN FELL In last week's column I quoted an editor of the Canadian Review of Music and Art as writing the following; "The people will sing, given the opportunity and lead- ership; they should be given this opportunity 1 cannot this writer made the thinking help but wonder what had in mind when he statement. Was he about a group at a party, a choral society, a church choir? It is quite true, and I think most people will agree, that if someone with the ability to play the piano at a party starts to play, in no time there is a songfest underway. Many times I have noticed people sing- ing away at the top of their lungs with the veins in the meck stick- ing out and the face as red as a beet. As a matter of fact I have often marvelled at some of the voices in people whom I knew, but never suspected of being able to sing at all. This is one case where I can 'agree that, given the opportunity, people will sing. Let us now turn to organized singing groups, such as church choirs, choral socieities, and the like. Here is where I disagree. I know from experience that peo- ple who can sing, have choral experience and could be a won- derful help, will not sing, given the opportunity. Many are the excuses. In the first place we must remember that it entails a little time for rehearsals and in many cases these singers have something which they would rather do, than put in time at rehearsals. Ob, yes, they'll sing if they can come in at the last minute, but they do not like it well enough to put a little time in at it. I am talking about the habitual ones now. There are exceptions in all cas- es. I have asked singers in the last minute mysel? because I knew of their ability. Then we have those who will only sing in a choir with the right leadership, but the standard of leadership is judged by their own assumed brilliance. Nothing less than a Sir Ernest MacMillan or Dr. Fricker will do for these people; anybody else is beneath thelr idea, and as far as they are con- cerned, a waste of valuable time. A choir is far better without these people. Then we have the "too busy" ones. This does not just apply to singing, but to a lot of worthwhile things. There was a time when the law did not gov- ern the hours you worked In any event, 1 do not think I heard of so many busy people "I am so busy at the office that I like to rest when I get home, and when Sunday comes I like to sleep In," etc, etc. "If I can't be a regular attender I would ra- ther not join" How many times have we heard that one? I would like to wager that were never regular attenders in any- thing they ever belonged to. I could go on and on just out of my experience but what ls the use? Yes, people sing it given the opportunity and leadership But there are to many "buts" to class this as a generally true statement, It fs my experience that the real, genuine, busy per son, usually very busy with something over and above their generally for community good, who Is the one who can find time for relaxation in sing: ing. There are many who say they just love choir work, choral work and so on, but it is mostly lip service. Usually the really busy people have thelr time well planned, and have put aside so much time for relaxation of varlous sorts. It fs important to them as thelr busy time because relaxation time bullds them up for thelr work God in His goodness gave every one the same amount of time. It does not matter If you are a bil- lionafre, you have 24 hours like will the ditch digger. It fs how you plan the time which counts.
