This has, naturally, Btered into the choirs of most fhurches, especially in the small- an Bling, |S" towns and indeed, into some fad Wf the larger city choirs. Z Phere was a time when the 1 - vo Your, Burch and its various organiza flons formed a major part of the ite of the community. Midweek tivities were plentiful and the ghoir was the musical centre of AU Ny i omiaunity. However to auots oR Wn oft spoken phrase, times have @hanged, but .the importance of, Whe church choir, in religious and Busical life has not changed one ta. Many of the world's great sing- Ing artists got their start in the mall town church choir. They progressed to larger city choirs 8s their training warranted, and Wfheir experience in church choirs fas often a bulwark against many Problems with which they were {beset in their professional car- . In this respect, I mean the hurch environment in which they forked. Not for one moment do I ggest that the choir was the fehief instructor, musically, but it gid provide a good grounding. There are many excuses given or not joining a church choir, me of them indeed are quite lo- cal and valid. I have known peo- fle with excellent voices and I have approached them, asking fihem to join the choir. However, it turned out that these people did lot have any experience in read- fing music at all, and therefore finey felt absolutely lost when it ame to reading church anthems. To these people: I can only say that if they are keen, they should fioin, and in time they will be of od assistance to the choir. There are others who have ices and experience, but other things interfere, They just will mot be tied down by having to at- tend choir practice and two ser- ices on Sunday. Thére are quite few of these people, but it is a strange thing to notice, at least in my experience, that they are bot regular church attenders. I was 'once asked' what was the ffirst requisite for joining a church 'hoir, and 1 rather think that I created a little surprise, when I 'GAGES WAL church whether they are in the fchoir or not, they would be reg- lar choir members. Voluntary choir members cannot be bull- [dozed and shouldn't be. I have heard of some leaders 'who are positively nasty and un- Christian in their attitude. This is fpossibly because they are ambit- dous musically, and feel that if they can build up a splendid choir they will be offered a better posi- tion; I say possibly. . As a rule they do mot get very far. Most of the time, this kind of person believes that the music in {the church js the most important thing in the church instead of be- ing that the choir is only a bart, of the worship, and if the {singing of the choir can create a lore reverential and worshipful attitude, so much the better. Then of course, we do come a- cross the musical "snoot." That is less steel within five or ten years, according to the October Reader's Digest. The report by Harold Man- chester is condensed from Popular Science Monthly. Largest im- mediate North American source will be from a mine near Allard Lake, Quebec which begins pro: duction in December. Forty percent lighter in weight than steel, titanium's strength'and rust resistance make it a natural for military as well as household uses. Tanks made of the metal resist penetration better than steel tanks of the same thickness. And samples of titanium immer sed in the sea for 60 days show no corrosion, suggesting multiple naval uses which will eliminate the need for painting. Titanium alloys when fully developed may affect a possible 20 percent re- duction in the weight of airplanes, thereby doubling a plane's pay load. Though full production uses are still in the pilot-stage, govern- ment and industry have spent more than $15,000,000 on titanium re- search during the last four years. Titanium oxide is already widely used in the manufacture of white paints, powders and creams as 2a whitening agent to make white things whiter. Gem-cut crystals of the oxide are not quite as hard as diamonds, but more brilliant. "Titania" is the first really new gem in history. First discovered about 160 years ago,. the metal is the ninth most common element in the earth's crust. The richness of North A erican deposits make this conti ent independent of imports. The Allard Lake mine, a joint project of the Kennecott Copper and the New Jersey Zine companies, con- tains the world's largest known ilmenite deposits. The estimated 200 million tons of ore in the res- erve runs 40 percent irom, 35 per- cent titanium oxide. shoulders. "I have weakened!" But then who wouldn't = after attempting to perform the grace ful art of dancing at Teen Town last Friday evening. Throngs of teen-agers filled the hall for the nominations, which according to Ruddy Whiting "would carve the destiny of Teen Town." And what nominations! A scramble of nom- inations, seconds, and a great number of "I withdraw," were screamed at Ruddy as he at- tempted to conduct the business at hand in as orderly a fashion as possible. After 'everything was cleared up the list of candidates read as follows: MAYOR: George Farrow, Bill Weatherbed, Glen Rowe, Glen Leatherene. REEVE: John Ford, Barb Ross. Bronte Rep.: Walter Allan. Town Rep.: Isabel Currie, Bud Brockway, Ken Brown FORM REPS.: B. Hills, Rex Louth. Anne Osborne, Bill Cud- more, Chrick Wilson. 3rd: Roy Crichton, Charlie Watt, Helen Adams, Reg. Forth. 2nd.: Phil Crompton, M. Evans, ist: Mike Snyder, Penny Cor- nel. An election parade is to be held this Friday evening, forming up at Wallace park at 8.00 o'clock. Candidates will decorate as many vehicles" as possible with crepe paper, posters, etc, and the par- ade will proceed down Reynolds Street, along the "main drag" to the west side of the creek and re- turn via the same route. To top the proceedings off the music for the evening will be pro- vided by none other than Bernie Saunders and his All-Stars, an ag- gregation which features as 'its vocalist a brilliant Negress, wio Is reputed as being a second Nel lie Lutcher. All and all this should Drove to be a real bang-up night and should draw an even larger what 1 call them. They think that because of their experience and musical ability, - the calibre of music and leadership is not up to the standard of their ability. I could tell some interesting stor ies about ome or two I have met in this class in my 20 years' ex; perience as choirleader. Humility is Dot in their make-up, and they forget that if they do happen to have' a good voice the Lord gave it to them, and that even if they do produce correctly, it is only as the Giver intended. As I say, thank heaven there are not very many of theses people. In closing let me suggest that anyone reading this who has a voice and some . ability which would be useful 'to the church choir, get in there and use it. Musical instruction Gan be purchased for dollars and, cents, but remember you were given a. voice at birth. Others were not so fortunate. : As long as there are churches, there will be church choirs need- ing members who believe in what the church stands for.
