Toronto advertised every Fall. True, you get the concerts cheap- er if you take a series of tickets, but to some families who like music just as well as the so call- ed moneyed cultural class, it is out of the question, and these subscriptions which say that if you do not buy a subscription ticket, you cannot attend any of the concerts, well, it is just tan- tamount to saying, "I'm sorry, but these are for those people who have the money," There will be a lot of disagreement with this Queen Elizabeth Way PHONE 289 CLARKSON All Sizes Available Immediate Delivery "YOU CAN'T BEAT STONCRETE' statement. The more I see, read and hear of these things, the more admir- ation I have for organizations who provide free concerts for the people. There are some peo- ple who would not be 'seen at a free concert for fear someone might see them and say they couldn't afford to go to other con- certs. I would like to see all cities, towns and townships and provin- cial and federal governments provide a certain amount in their budget every year for art, not just music but all classes of art. True, the average town sup- ports a band, but there is a lot more that could be done for cul- tural adyancement.
