TERDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1950 TECNDA TTSA.EWAVLWfMr~r Only One Contestant Appear.d for Public Speakling Contest It was annaunced as a campe- titilon. it was supposed to be a cOzmPetition, but was it? If so, it certainly was a small one. The Public Speaking Campetition for PUPlla attending the Darlington Township achools was held on Wednesday evening, October 25, ini Hampton Sunday School, %ýîth ~ onecontestant, three judges, Ïma a mail audience with Garnet MA.ckard presiding. Last year it Was reported there were over a dOZen contestants. The one contestant was Chris- tixia Lamnb, Shaw's, who tald the story of "Canada's Coat o! Anms," With a picture, sa that she could elplain it. Christina is a pupil of Mrs. L. Atchison. The three judges were Miss Jean Cunningham, and Miss Leila Carr, of the Bowmanville High Sehool staff, -and Mrs. D. Barnet, a former teacher at Providence. It was disappointing for every- one ta see 50 few interested, be- cause the Lions Club cf Bowman- ville had promised ta donate prizes, and a nice evening had been planned. As it was, Chris- tina will get firat prize anyway. Talks given by contestants are udged on the basis o! material, ~.Iwhich there is 15 points, style qJ7 whlch combines coherence and force; language 10 points, deliv- ery 60 points, cambining general effectiveness and voice. A few points mentioned at this competition for othen prospective speakers ta remember, are: speakers ta remember, are: Look at yaur audience, and talk ta theni. If you are nervous, don't show it, at least try not ta. Watch pronunciation. Make sure the talk la at least the required length. Padding is generally dis- couraged in a speech. Group words together well, sa that the talk ia smooth and sounda nal. ural.1 Winners, or rather the winner of. the township competition wil compete for the county prize county winners compete for thE district prize, and winners of thai compete at Easter in Toronto foi the Provincial prize, The next competition will be on Fniday, Nov. 3rd, at Black< stock. Here's hoping the young aratars in Cartwright Township will turn out in larger numberý than appeared at Hamipton and show what they cari do' in the way of public speaking.
