But keep your eye on these young singers, too: Peggy Pack- ard, dramatic soprano of Vic- toria; Donald Bell, 21-year-oid baritone from Vancouver, who is now studying in Berlin; Mar- ilyn Duffus, contralto of Mooseý Jaw; Louise Roy, St. Boniface soprano, and Ann Stevenson of, Newmarket, Ont. Then there are the instru- mentalists: pianist Glenn Gould, whose Town Hall debut in New York last year was a triumpli; George MacDonald of New Wa- terford, N.S., a clarinetist who represented Canada at the Fes- tival of Commonwealth Youth in London last faîl; Neil Van Allen, pianist now in Engiand; Harvey Seigel, a young violin prodigy at ten and now of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra; Betty-Jean Hagen, Edmonton born violinist who is a winner of the Carl Flesch Medal, and of course Jean-Marie Baudet, of Montreal, an internationaily known pianist and conductor. AUl these, -together with Can- adians Percy Faith, Mart Ken- ny, and Guy Lombardo, have made a good start for Canada' in the worid. of music, An i- ternational festival at Ottawa would give a great many others a chance to achieve their des- tinies. (By Benjami There bas been some talk- and possibly by Ibis time some planning - of an international arts festival for Ottawa in 1958. Ib is just possible Ibat Canada is ready for it. At least, other countries wbich are finding places in their ballets, operas and symphonie performances for Canadian men and womnen are beginning ta look very ser- iously toward Ibis country as an important patron o! culture. Although a national culture, as sucb is !inding lb di!!icult 10 be born in Canada, we have come to recognize with pride the assistance whieb our own musicians, composers and sin,,,- ers are giving to the mainten- ance o! international vîrbuosi- ity. Doubtless, we are not going bo create anotber Edinburgh Arts Festival overnigbt. And we do not expect 10 have a La Scala or a Metropolitan Op- era witbout long years o! build- ing. But we have made a goodI start in the theatre at Strat- ford, and there seems to be no good reason wby here cannot be a Glyndebourne in Canada. Australia bas a notable groupi of musical artists, lîke eompcs-i crs Arthur Benjamin and Ed-1 wvin Carr; but we also have our musical nobilîty in such persons as Sir Ernest MacM~il- lan, Healy Willan, Louis Apple- baum and George London, al- tbough Ibey, boo,bave gone to London and New York from lime 10 lime bo learn and work. Il seems appropriate that Ot- tawa - should be the home o! such a festival, sînce il is ne- bually the showplace o! Canada bo the diplomats o! the world, and it is also in order Ibat Ille people o! Canada sbould be cx- pecbed ta support tbe idea fij- nancially. First o! aIl, - a Ibea- Ire is needed, and there is just time to gel one built, one that will house at least 2,500 people and be o! use for shows and concerts during the xvhohe year. Now, music is not the only art, and a festival o! arts wouid also include drama. But let us just for a whihe try ta make some assessment o! Canadian mus ic. Music bas not been long re- leased from the taboos o! a colonial country. The first peo- pie wvho came bere liked music, but they bad no time to pursue it. In fact it was bbc source o! some disappoinîment for a mani 10 learn that bis son wished Io play the barpsiebord as a ca- reer instead o! wanting 10 plow thie land and eut down bbe for- ests. Perbaps that is why early Canada did nol produce much in the wny o! music. There were 100 many other tbings 10 do. But now tthat we bave cauglît up 10 older and smaller counitries industrially we are ready ta compete witb thieir music. These days a man tlîinks it is wonder!ul tbat bis son o:ý daughter looks toward a career in musie. They may even bo able 10 make a lot o! money like Gisele MacKenzie and Os- car Peterson. There migbt even be another Edward Johnson in Canada ta take over the Met. A.t worst there is always a sing- ing schoiarship 10 xvin, or a prize on "Singing Stars o! To- -norrow", whicb is certaiîîly nut înxvortby o! an ambitious a.'- ;ist. Then, too, there is always a chance o! being taken on by bhe Enrl Terry Singers, the Don Wright Chorus or thie Leslie Bell Singers, aIl o! wbomn do a lot o! tr-aveling. The provinces themselves are aiready providing good talent for national festivals. Charle.i 'bieebas been dead two years, but bbe band festivals o! Wa- terloo, Ont., still go on. The Edmonton Sympliony Orches- tra and the Halifax Symphony, formerlu a symphonet.tc, are Historical Letter About Early Darlington Family Written 70 Years Ago Editor's Note-Dr. L. B. Wil- liamis, our local historian, digs Up a pioneer letter under date of Nortbvile, LaSalle Co., Ill., U.S.A., April 22, 1883. wherein Mrs. 'Cotteau, nee Sarah Lett, is endeavorlng to clear ber brother Benjamin o! bue Gov- ernment's< implicating hlm in the "blowing up1' o! the first 'Brock Monument at Queenston Heights. Beni was a free-lance sup- porter o! William Lyon Mac- Kenzie in the Rebellion of 1837, with a price on bis head, dead or alive. He was with the Red Coats, througbout this Darling- ton Township section, follow- ing, chues rumnored here and there of bis hideouts until I.e made good bis escape across the line. The Doctor can humorously amplify on a number o! his narrow escapes. The Letts, per- haps Darlington's fisrt Dutch immigrants, came here from Quebec (Hull) to the 7th Con- cession and Inter sold their farmi to the father of the late Eber Milîson who built the present fine brick borne in en- vious view o! the venerable olI1 frame bouse o! the Letts which stili stands, well over 100 years old. Dr. Williams has set to sereen pictures a beautiful piece o! poetry in which Miss Lett expresses bier iongings for the old Darlington home envi- ronment o! ber childhood and in that nostalgic mood in the letter in question she appends namnes o! neigbbors dear to ber beart.-G.W.J. Northville, Ill., April 22, 1883 Sir- It is just 44 years ago today sîîîce I left my home in Dar- lington. I promised 10 write back, but we had so many mis- fortunes-so many deaths in our family-tbat. I who neyer likcd to bring doleful tidings, neyer wrote back.

Sarah Lett Cotteau Recruits for Ministry In the' United Church Hit an Ail Time High Toron to-Thirty - five per cent o! this year's 170 new candidates for bthenîinistry corne froin bbc homes o! laboring men, Rev. W. Harold Young, D.D., Secretary o! tbc Board o! Colleges and Sccondary Schools o! Tbe Unit- ed Cburch o! Canada, stated. "Homes o! the medical profes- sion aeross Canada have Ibis year failed to produce a single minister for bbc Church," Dr. Yo un g said. Businessmen's bornes have produced 28 per, cent o! the total number o! new candidates; 18 per cent come from farmer's homes; il per cent corne fromn the manse. Number o! this year's recruits breaks ail previous records. Last year's total was 163. There are now 627 ministerial candidates in ail United Cburcb colleges and sebools, compnred with 592 a year ago. This is also a bigb record. Ten years ago Ihere were only 362 candidates in bbc United Cliurch ministry. i Withi new United Churches opening at tbc rate of one every 12.-days, Dr. Young is still deeply concerned with the problem o! empty pulpits and over-worked i Lions Club (Continued frorn page one) thaus. Below these men are the variaus branches o! bbc depart- ment ineluding the Accounbanb's, Registrar's, Eiementary Educa- tion, Seeondary Education, Cor- respondence and several others.

About 2,600 are expectèd ta graduate this June.
