ranked well in the standing but this year the boys and girls ex celled themselves it speaks well both for the native ability of the students and for the training imparted by kenneth r harrison music teacher at both schools anyone who has had any experience with young voices will know just how pains taking a job it is to properly train choirs trios and duets for festival competition and to know that mr harrison was also interested in the peel festival plus carrying on his regular duties as organist and choir leader at a guelph church and planning a high school good news for students generosity of a local merchant and a local business firm opens a new field for high school students who plan going on with their studies it is a magnificent thing which sid sil ver and the smith and stone firm have done in establishing bursaries which will materially assist deserving students the smith stone scholarships have one restriction that they be used only in the study of engineering this is logical of course as the company is interested in training en gineers and has in fact given positions to local boy3 during and after their engineering musical concert last night gives an idea of the magnitude of his duties this past month with such an interest in music indicated locally we wonder if georgetown couldn t invite the festival here next year it used to be the custom to move it from town to town each year and while it is easier planned in one centre and the facilities offered are excellent yet there are advantages too in giving people in other towns the opportunity to have the festival in their own locale last time it was m georgetown was back in 1940 when it was held in st john s church since then we have at least two other potential sites wrig- glesworth school auditorium and st john s hall courses mr silver s awards established in mem ory of his father are much broader in scope this cash award can be given not only to a student going on in any university course but can be applied to any type of advanced study we should interpret this as meaning that sucn courses as nursing art radio tech nician could be considered as professional study in years to come there will be many young people who will look back on the bur saries with gratitude for helping them along their life s career l1kt jasan uncls urn quests golden fleece as he u s begins its partial mobilization program uncle sam is loosening his purse strings to onter the international market in an expensive quest for large sup plies of wool which today is truly the golden fleece a compelling reason for the in tensive buying program is indicated by the recent disclosure that the country has failed to build an ade quate stockpile of wool to meet the present emergency meanwhile prices for this vital commodity have soared to the highest level in his tory notes the national geographic society although practically every nation grows some wool most of it comes from southern hemisphere coun tries australia argentina new zealand south africa and uruguay australia is the world s leader ac counting for about onefourth of the international supply large pro ducers in the northern hemisphere are the united states great bn lain spain france and italy but u s demand for wool has far outdistanced the domestic sup ply the nation normall consumes about u00 million pounds
