We ade the most o! our adventure in the big city, in fact we were almost like a couple of youngsters irom the back wocds. Af 1er dinnen, where by the way, we listened in amused si- lence as a socialite discussed in detail with an acquaintance her latest massage we made our way te the familiar hall c! music. We settied back ln our cemfortable grey piush seats in the. balcony te watch the rest cf the audience file in. Most of them, like aur- selves, were very ordinary peo- p]e who love music. It was a thriiling experience from _the moment that the 200 voice choir took its place on the vast expanse o! platferm. The woiMen were attractively gowned in long sleeved, simply styled ,<, cwns cf dove grey. The men tâblade a startiing contrast in their wq3Fýhite lies and tails. Arnanged in- front cf the choir was the Phono 1 ETCOVE 'OIL Sample Fares . . . see Bowmanville To 'à Toronto Kingston Montreal Toronto Symphony Orchestra anti the fbur soloists, Pierre Boutèt, Doreen Hulme, Virginia Lippert [and Desire Ligeti. On the podium immediately before the throng o! musicians stood their conduc- tor. Sir Ernest MacMillan. From the first note of Sir Er- nest's matchless arrangement cf "The King" to the beautiful Ben- edictus and Agnus Dei cf the Mass, it was w magnificent per- formance! The master musician touched every hÙman emotion as the choir sang its glonlous paean of praise or reverentiy petitioned for peace. Most stirring o! ail to the writer, was the prayer, "Dona nobis pacem,'I - Grant Us Thy Peace. Every voice, every in- strument in the orchestra, com- bined with the sweling vibrations cf the organ te be led by their conductor in a great harmonious cny for peace. We could net help but think, as we listened, of the peoples o! the4world, who stili in despenation cry eut for such a peace. Later, by special invitation, we joined the thnong cf well-wishers back stage who ciamored te shower their sometimes gushing compliments on Sir Ernest and the billiant soloists.

MUSICIANS IN THE MAKING There are few towns in Ontario who can boast of such a musically minded younge.r generation as does Bowmanville. We wojuld like to take a guess that least two out of three youngsters in this town are taking, or bave taken at some tîmq or another, music lessons. In additiont to private tutoning, every school child participates in well instructed music classes ùn- der the supervision of Mr. R. G. Harle, musical director. We can be justly proud! Remember the Public School presentation o! "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" and the High School's "Pirates of Penzance." Two first-class pieces of musical entertainment. Elsewhere in tbis week's issue is a list of the pupils of Bowman- ville music teachers who success- fully passed their Royal Conser- vatory of Music exams. We are happy te add our congratulations upon their achievements, though we do se wîth a sense of regret that there are flot many more who are willing to make the sac- rifice and effort to meet the stiff requirements of music exams. These teachers, Miss Phyllîs Chai- lis, Mrs. Reta Dudley, Mrs. Al- bert Cole, Mr. W. C. Workman, and Mrs. R. G. Harle are unstint- ing in their efforts to further Bowmanville's musical education. Until a few years ago one of the annual musical events in Bow- manville was the Durham County Festival of Music. Not only did the town youngsters have the op- portunity for public performance, but cblîdren from all over the county were able te display their talents. Gasoline rationing was partly responsible for the curtail. ment of such a program, but somehow now that life is back to normal again, the Festival still remains a thing of the past. Last faîl a number of the mu- sic teachers in Ibis area met to discuss plans for renewing in- terest in Music Festivals, but somehow their plans neyer mat-1 erialized. There i se much that both teachers and pupils are able to learn from such Festivals in the valuable platform experience and the helpful remarks of the adjudicators. We suggest then to you, who would be the supporters o! such a venture, the re-estab. lishment of an annual Music Fes- tival which wili give our musi- clans in the making opportunîty to make known their ability. Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than fron, those very things for which you are angry and grieved.-Marcus Antonius.

Cut in the pepular coach- man style witb a high stand-up collar it was unusually smart and attractive. The clesely fit- ted idea was carried Ihreugh in a plain suit o! skipper blue which would be ideai for the business girl.

These are the words of Gilbert Luy,-Secretary- general of the Swiss Red Cross during a recent trip to Canada. Mr. Luy continued, "In many countries in Europe the soldier is aUl important so long as he is ........ doing bis job in war, but once he ..~becomes a civilian, he is so eas- ily forgotten. In Canada it is so different. His work as a soidier is remembered ... but his future as a man is important." Perhaps this is the greatest compliment that could be paid the Canadian Red Cross Society by anyone, but from a man who is in the position of Mr. Luy and bas seen Red Cross at work in so ma- ny countries, it is a tnibute. It is what everyone promised tbe boys when they lef t for overseas .... andI it is the most important of the Red Cross Society's activities.
