Gnltty Splnaeh Washing spinach uscd ta be anc of Uic chores I aefinitely dis- liked, until I started using twa dishes sud now it la anc o! Uic esyJobs. Cut off Uic root ends then wash by sluishing it upan down in a large pan with plenty o! water. I use Uic dish-pan. Lift Uic spinach out and put it huao thecIkettle in which it is ta be cookcd. Empty Uic dish-pan sud ninse out Uic ssud in the bottomn. Lift Uic spinach out o! the kettie and wash again i heUic'dish-pan. Continue this until all Uic ssud is gone. Sometimes twa washings la enaugh but it usually takes* three. By lifting Uic spinach out each tume, Uic sand la lcft in Uic bot- tam o! Uic dish. If the watcr la poured off, Uic sand is left, and gritty spinach is Uic rcsult. Serv- ing gritty spinach should be an. offence in any court o! the land. Spinaeh Hints Neyer add any water ta cook spinach, for there is enough water dlinging ta the Icaves. Be careful not ta aver-cook. Fiftcen minutes la usually sufficient. Drain thon- oughly as watery spinach is an abomination. Spinach, like par- snips, needs plenty o! butter sud a pinch o! sugar improves Uic flavaur. Whcn I say a pinch, I mesu just that, as a spoanful wauld ruin it. A dash o! nutmneg hs a pleasant change, and a sus- picion of scraped anian la liked by sanie. For spinach salad, add a little anian and salad dressing and Pack into small moulds ,(egg- cups wrnl do>., Chil sud turn out. Arranged alternatcly with toma- tocs, on a cold meat piatter, makes an attractive laaking dish.

The interpretation of the piece Was a revelation ta the audience, Who greeted the effort with greal eclat. Ail who hieard these choirs were veritably awe-strjcken, and many have recounted in terms ai superlative praise, the effects, physical and spiritual, they them- selves experienced during the singing. These teachers are so mnuch mare than musicians. Cul- ture and study, addçd ta their in- dividualistjc artistic qualities, and the inspiration that they are un- daubtedly gleaning from one higher up, are permitting them ta ;inspire and be mnspired, and per- fect leadership is the result. This Was one of the mast enjayed classes in the festival. The shield 'Was given ta ane chair for six months, and ta the ather for the remaining six months before next year's festival. Marks awarded were 80 i bath cases. Boys' and Girls' Solos As in former years, the boys' and girls' solo groups were aver- whelmingly large, and short leets had to be formed, i classes 39, 40 and 42. The singing thraughout was admirable - the test pieces better chosen than those of last year. "Cabbler, Cobbler Mend My Shoe" was a great ahl-round fav- orite. The children, wha seemed ta feel s0 happy in the singmng of it, passed the jay over ta the audi- ence. The same joyful spirit was canveyed in the singing of "The Maiden's Wish." In class for boys' unchanged vaices, "Killarney" had been set as the test piece. This seemed ta suit most of the entrants, and same excellent renderings were given. Those who were outstanding were, Jean Malcolm, class 42, a singer of excellent taste, with good style and fine interpretatian. Her singing was a delightful pre- sentation. Ruth Stevens, Bow- nianville, the second i this graup, has great possibilities. Her sweet rounded tone rang thraugh the hall. She has the benefit alsa of natural musical ability, a sense of ryhthm, and easy production. She promises ta, become a most attrac- tive vocalist. In Class 40, unchanged voices, there were over 40 entries. There were very few af these who could not be termaed good singers. Two anly were outstanding - Ernest McLean, a decidedly tasteful and artistic singer, with a beautiful full throated F, a note that he seemed ta be~ able ta hold for any given time; and Richard Bawles, a poetic singer with wonderful mu- sical ability. His tone throughout was pure and beautiful. Russel Alldread, Bawmanville, came first i Class 39. His render- ing af I"Cabbler, Cobbler Mend MY Shoe" was simple and sweet. The saine may be said of Ellis Wilson, ,Port Hope, and Ross Metcalf, Bowmanville., There wasn't very t uch ta came and go on, for al 1Èe exceptianally good and only two' marks divided them. Much credit is due ta athers in these classes who gave good performi- ances, but, as Dr. Fricker said, 'You can't ahl take the first place." rhese included Annie Watt, Port Hoape, Jim Southey, Eric Mcflveen and Alan Lobb, ahl of Bowman- ville, and a pupil of Mrs. Camp- bell, Russel McKay, R. R. 3, Cour- tice. This lad is worthy of special mention in that he is the possessor of a most unusual type of voice. Elis quality is, as yet, in the malt- ing, but it is of a strange, haunt- ing type that h s s different. His top F. was what the adjudicatar termed "Iheavenly.' We do hope to hear froni this singer again; he is hikely ta become one of the 'surprises" of future festivals. Sehool Duet Many pleasing teams came for- ward ta sing "Tara's Halls", the ever-lovely aid Irish sang. Judg- ing was very difficult in this class, as it was in aIl ather children's classes. After a thorough weed- ing, hawever, a short leet was aormed and final decisions arriv- ed at. Without exception, all the children sang well. The best in the group were Gwen Gibson and Patsy Fenton, Newtonvîlle, who earned 80 marks. Second came A.rlene Northcutt and George Ro- berts, Bowmanville, two extreme- ýy taking singers, who earned 78, and third, Lenore Collacutt and Doris Stevens, R. R. 3 Bowman- ville, 76 marks. Rhythm Band A fan aof entertainnient entire- ly new ta this festival came in the form of a rhythm band. Introduc- ed by Mrs. Switzer, Blackstock, it ond, sud Isabel Nayhor anc mark behind Uic second. This was a hard fought competition sud must have been difficult ta grade. "Ail Uic players disphayed good tone sud excellent musical ability," as- serted Dr. Fnicken. Bruce Lons- bcrry, rcmembened by his excel- lent performances o! hast year, has improved grcatly in Uic inter- val. With a continusuce o! his present fine tuition, he will most surchy devclop inta a vialinist a! no mean order. Violin - Glass 38 A much mare mature tone was displaycd by entrants in chass 38 and cxcellcnt wark was displayed. "Senenade" by Schubert was Uic picce, sud it pnovcd a neal test. The winncr was Neil McCulhach, R. R. 4, Oshawa, who gaincd 80 marks for a veny fine rendering. Dr. Frickcr rcmarked that Uic violin phaying was on a very high level sud that he had enjoycd Uic performances. The second place was taken by KciUi Chute who earned 75 marks on a vcny good shawing, whihe John Wickctt, Port Hope, wha also phayed weil, receivcd 72. "On thc whole, this has been a vcry excellent class", remarked the adjudicatar. Solo Folk Diance In Uiis ciass, which is always weil patronlzcd, Uic !irst place went ta Margaret Rowe, Bow- mnville, Uic second ta Margaret Flintoif, Orono, and Uic third ta Georgina Gibson, Bowmsuville. Unfartunately Uic writen was un- able ta be present at Uiis session. Class 20 - Mezzo-Soprano The singing in this graup prob- abhy attained a highen level Uian did that o! any oUier aduht solo section in Uic festival. Lillian Naylon disclosed a beautiful so- prano voîce, which sccmed well suitcd ta Uic sang. Unfortunately Uic presence o! a cohd blurred the tane. She has a fine ,feeling o! musical values with a nice sug- gestion o! varied calour and mood. She has also good diction and in- terpretative ability. In spite o! hen indisposition, she made a very favourable impression upon the adjudicatar, wha said, "This girl has a lovely voice."l In much betten trlm, and full o! sparkle sud gaiety, Ruth James, Bowmanvillc, who was awarded first place with 80 marks, gave a veny striking performance a! hen solo. We cannot but pay tnibute ta her evident ability sud artistîc sense. For a Mezzo group, "Sing On" was a pon choiqe a! piece, and if wcaknesses wcre evident i Uic singing o! Uic marcflonid passages, her strength in cvery other sense was most admirably1 displayed. "Birds sangs," as Uieyi are commonly termcd, require, special treatment and arc writtcni for sopranas o! Uic coiloratura type. I f Ruth did nat achieve Uic full birdlikc tones dcmanded by' Uic sang, she lent ta it Uic essencei o! joy and abandon. We do, in ail sinccnity, advise Uiis singer ta "sing on", sud we can canfidently1 predict for her real succcss in Uic future. Second place in Uic Mezzo- soprano group was taken by Mar- garet McLehhan, Part Hope, wlth 75 marks,, sud third by Lilisu Nayhor, Bownvllc, with 72. It is aur opinion that Jean Mal- coîni sud Ruth James are Uic two outstanding solodats for this year. Our beau wlshes for a furthersuce o! success go ta boUi. Mixcd fluet There was on]y anc cntry in the Mixed Duet section, sud that was disappohnting ithat Uic singer. were not weil matchcd. A picas- sut soprano, sud a good baritone do not always malce a good bhend. Howevcr, as Dr. Fnickcr said, "Thcy arc a promiming pair, sud no doubt Uiey wiii came back an- oUier year very much improvedY" Pauline Deline sud Robert Jarvis, Newcastle, gave a pleasing inter- pretatian a!
