'r= CAZiAbIAN STA X, BOWMANIrLnLE, ONTABJO THUPBSDAY, MdAY 22, 1941 O-an LdnNwspapexR Ieveals Bhitaius Cause fought TYans Ago We have a page from the Mlus- trated London News, June 19, 1858, which was forwarded to us by Mrs. W. T. Perrett of Hampton. Various items such as titis h ave corne to our desk in recent weeks and ail shed some light on Eur- ope's bloody history from which people build forecasts of the out- corne of our struggle wth Hitler. Those who retain history wil recail that it took Britain about 15 years to beat Napoleon; that, genersfly, she stood alone; that in- vasion tbreatened and that final- ly there was a resurgence of trampled peoples who combmned with Britain ta beat the tyrant. Then for years the ebb and flow of reactionary elements through- out Europe which finaily tossed Napoleon III to leadership and the throne of France. He had been about 10 years in power when this issue of the Lon- don News was printed - and al Europe seemed afraid of his Pow- er and pretentions. Yet he always was a man of straw as events eventually proved in 1870. He and Mussolini fit the same pattern. But this paper of 1858, with Bri- tish thoroughness and seriousness discusses thxe State of Europe, the state of armaments, diplomnacy, strategy - and ail the box of tricks we are forced to re-examine today. We quote verbatim from this paper of 83 years ago: 11Ail Europe ardently desires to be free, and the more ardently in proportion to the enlightenment of the people.

For that period-long com- pared with onc man's 1f e, but a short tixnc in the history of nations -there has been nothing but war and the fear of war;-nothing even in the most peaceful days of transition from anc evil ta an- other but an armed truce, or the suspension of hostilities by the physical inability of the combat- ants ta continue their strife. From 1786 ta 1815 there were bitter and bloody struggles, that scttled no- thing. From 1815 ta 1830 there was sheer exhaustion. From 1830 ta 1848 there was renewal of the conflict, renewal of the distrust, and renewal of the exhaustion. From 1848 ta 1852 there were fresh struggles, fresh wars, and the pouring out of blood like wat- er. From 1852 ta 1858 there has been redoubled despotism, aug- mented armies of repression, and the marshailing of the young men of the nations by hundreds of thousands ta aid in the subjuga- tion of their own countrymen, and the general enslavement of Eur- ope. Despotism has the upper hand at present, and strives ta keep it. And cvery one of the several des- potisms that oppress this fairest portion of the globe is nat only alarmed at the idea of relaxing its grip upon the neck of its own sub- jects, but la dissatisfied with the geographical boundaries imposed upon it by the Treaty of Vienna of 1815.1 "lIt is passible that ere this tirne many of the questions which stil alarm and exasperate Europe might have received a satisfactory and permanent solution; and that the settiement of 1815 would have been reconsidered with a view to the future. But the opportunity was lost. Nothing was settlcd, flot even the smail question of the Danubian Principalities; and ail the bitter and dangerous work has yet to be done; ail the expense- and more upon its back-has to be reincurred; - and the world has ta be perturbed with' a stiil great- er perturbation than the last, that the common safety of Europe may be secured; and its nations lef t to the management of their own af- f airs, untroubled by the rivalries and animosities of unscrupulous tyrants.- "Englishmen may not fear in- vasion, but what they dilike, and will not tolerate, la unprepared- ncss anid perils which are be- yand the contrai of England, and which by the merest accident may in twcnty-four hours set ail Eur- ope in a blaze. The country knows what disgrace and bs aur un- prcparcdness cost us in the Cri- mean struggle; and neither ta please strong men like Napoleon III and John Bright on the one side, nor sagaciaus old women who can look through uilestones on the other, will it run the risk a second time. England owes it ta herseif, as well as ta the great cause of liberty, of whichi she has been the prophet, the teacher, and the -example, ta be as strang as she is free, and as ready as she la enlightened." We return this paper ta Mrs. Pcrrett, thankful that we have read it and rcprinted some per- tinent passages. The state af Eur- ope today can be written in mare ominous ternis than in 1858 - or even in 1813. Machines have changcd it an. And 83 years hence, no doubt, journalism will record a recurrence of ail this fear and terrorism. Just the rising and fafling of the infinite tide. GRAND CONCERT (Continued tram page 1) thus anly those close ta the front wcrc able ta hear to advantage. This was followed by a sang by Murray Tlhompson who shows promise of musical ability. A chorus by the Cowanville School was good, showing splen- Ldid harmony with a very subdued' volume. This was a noticcable feature of practically ail the choruses, and this resulted i showing careful training on the part of instructors. A piano solo by Ray Dudley was gaod, and Mamaon Keilough sang sweetiy. An unaccompanied selectian, by the Starkviile school, with qulte a small chorus, was wcil donc; and Anne Phîlhips' recitation was wel nendcred. This was followcd by a piano solo "Minuet" by Frances Croft; and a boys' chorus by the Orano school was excellent, as also a rural achool part sang by Maple Grove school. The harmany was particularly good. Biily Leask recited "Secin'l Things at Night" in a vex"y realis- tic manner, which caused consid- able merriment. A piano solo by Doris Stevens was well played; sud William Huycke, in a wcil known sang, had a ca, sweet vaice. A number rather out of the ordinary was Choral Speaking, by a graup from the West Primaçry school, and certainly showcd care- ful training as the result was practicaily like a single voice. An urban 'Échool part sang, by Port Hope Central School, was fallowed by a Rhythm Band-by Shaw's School. This was not only an unusual number, but was par- ticularly weil produced and well meritcd the hearty. applause which it received. Alex Keilough, in reciting "'Rid- ers of the Plains," showed that he had grasped thec spirit of the theme and ddlivened it in a vcry effective manner. This was fol- lawed by a weil-rendered sang by Brenda Bennett. A duet in excellent harmony by Betty Thonipson and Ann Brack- cnbury, was foilowed by the Cowanvilc School chair, sud a solo by Miss Mary Taylor. A cornet solo by George Rab- erts concludcd the first half of the prognani. A special award was madc, be- fane resuxnption of the second part of the pragrani, ta Glen Tamblyn of Orono, who bias shown very special talent in musical matters, and who rendcred a particularly fine selection on the piano. The second part of the pro- gram, by the more advanced con- testants, showcd considerable tal- ent, bath vocal and instrumental; and it is here where such a festi-, val brings out talent which might otherwise remain uxudeveloped. Miss Helen Abranis opcned the second period with a splendid soprano sala. A chorus by Port Hlope Public School foilowed; and while the chorus was large, it respÔnded splendidly ta the baton of Mn. Stanley. Robent Sculthorpe in a sang showed splendid promise, --and Jack Bongard played his trom- bone ta goad advantage and with excellent fane. A solo by Miss Josephine Can- cilla was very pleasingly nendTér- ed; and this was foilowed by a weil-played piano selectian by Mn. Laurence Morton. A duet by Misses Helen and Murmel Abranus showed careful training, and the result was a pleasing selection with gaod har- mony. Mary Fagan's recitation was particularly well delivcred, and. she put great expression into this number.

The truck, designed and buiît by Chrysler, proved its worth ta company and mflitary officiais on the proving grounds at Ojibway. The powrxful vehicle clinxbed the steep- - est grades and raced over rough ground like a speedy tank. At the top are two Chrysier officiais and two afficers at the testing ground.

Below are two views of the trucks in action. Goodman was disappoinfing, not in the rendering but in the nunu- ber. This was flic case also when this same selection "Clouds" was sung by Miss Mary Taylor during the finat hall of the program.

This was aiso the case wlth the langer United Cliurch chdlr, bath groupa liaving paid careful atten- tion ta modulation sud tone bal- ance. There wcne no prodominat- ing voices, and the harmony was excellent. A neading by Miss Bctty Stev- ens was good; and Miss Vivian Jenning sang particularly well in a special numbcn. A pnomislng vaice is that of Ronald Doggctf who has a banitone voice whicli wauld appea well worf h develop- ing. An unaccompsuied quartette, in whicli Mrs. Garnett, Mrs. West, Mrs.. Hodgert and Mrs. Wakelin fook part, was rather unusual, was brief, but pleasing in han- mony. A number of excellent selec- tians by flic Port Hope Band, and flic singing of God Save the King, closed a rather lengthy, but on the whale, a very excellent pro- gram. Mn. Brooks, the leader of the band, may weil b. proud of his organization, as fhey arc now capable of rendening some very excellent music with marked at- tention ta modulation sud ex- pression.

St. Paul's Prcsbytcrian Church choir, Port Hope, rcccived the shield in the urban class with 86 marks. Again Mr. Mclnnes dis- cussed the interpretation of the sang "The King of Love My- Shepherd Is", witli benefit ta the chair and audience. He warned the young soloists against being influenccd by "blues singera" when lic discussed the soprano class interpretatian cf its number. "Don'ýt do it," he urged. "Foilow your own instincts for goad music, dont do anything un- less it is beautiful."1 "Fantasie-Impromptull, the nuin- ber in the piano solo challenge class as playcd by Miss Helen Wiiliams of Bowmanvile, was awarded the top mar~k in the en- tire festival. The adjudicatar's remfarks were cnthusiastic about Miss Williams' wark. She was awardcd a gald medal for taking firat rank un the clasa. As last yean, the constructive commenta of the adjudicatar were possibly the most important fea- turc of the festival. The aspiring musicians seemed' ta take his . p oare nbis words of criticism with cagenneas. Sincerity, he said, counted heavily with him. "If people arc sincere sud put on a good effort sud fail, that la dif- ferent than putfing on the dag," lie commentcd.
