ri%%'AXzAiTA zï 'iu Mune- arT. .~fWIÂWTlTURDY M YSh,15 I"Tu rtle Club" at ConferenceI by ELOIX CARRUTIS LUNNEX MAYBE THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT TT WANTS We are hearing some talk these days about cars in line with whfat we have been say- ing for several years. Cut out the chrome, make a well built car, and bring down the price. Some people are even begin- ning to tire of "fins" and al that extra space out behind which only makes it bard to get the thing parked in one block. Some people in fact have been buying British and Euro- pean cars which are smaller, and cheaper. A woman writing a letter on cars to a national magazine, said: "A large number of Amn- enicans don't want an overin- flated Leviatan-just econom- !cal transportation." We think the same applies to Canadians. And a man writing on a manu- facturer's proposai for more chrome and spiashier trim to combat the sales slump in cars, asked, "How unrealistic can they get? Wrhat they ought to do is rip the nasty stuff off their monsters and cut prices." Weli, we don't know if chrome is nasty stuff, but it is unnecessary. And we do think a shorter, narrower and higher car would be infinitely more s.ensible. For a few years the public has been "sold" on the idea of longer, lower, wider- being an age of advertising, you can seli anything tbrough ad- vertising promotion-but noxv people are beginning to ques- tion the wisdom of some or al of these features. But in cars and women's clothes, the public is frequently told that, "This is it, the latest thing. You can't afford to be different." C'ould il be Ihat the Wormn is develop- ing a bit of hackbone, is begin- _i;ng to turn, and sa 'N', "It's not mhat we want at ail. and wc jolly well won't buy it"? Yet this takes a long time to tnickle through to the top, or having reached there, to con- vînce those who design either cars, or education. But in th-e matter of cars, we look at it this way: they've "gone about as fur as they can go" in the present trend, and we shouldn't be surprised that in a year (maybe it will take two) the advertising will be emphasizing "the rich elegance of the car uncluttered with superfluous trim-so right. Its quiet beau- ty says worlds about your taste, yet the cost will surprise you -" and so on. Let's see how right or wrong we prove ta be. A FIRST FOR VANCOUVER This is certainly a year of festivals. Vancouver, B.C., is having its first International Festival, and the line-up of at- tractions and particularly of artists of the music world, is quite fabulous. Maureen Forres- ter, Glenn Gould, Lois Mar- shall are among the soloists, and Bruno Walter and Nicho- las Goldschmidt will conduct the Festival Orchestra macle up of the Vancouver Symphony and the CBC Symphony. There are opera, chamber music, re- citais, drama ("The World of the Wonderful Dark" by Lister Sinclair), mime with Marcel Marceau, jazz, films, and an exhibition of Dutch paintings from the l6th century to the 20th, also a book exhibition. There is a great attraction to festivals, as has been proven with Edinburgh and our own Stratford. They provide a focal point for tourists and there is about them an atmosphere of excitement. Perhaps it is part- ly the journey and the atmos- phere which attract so many. When the Stratford company played in Toronto this winter, they did flot receive nearly the response one would have ex- pected, though this niay have been partly dite to the choice of plavs. At an * rate it is good to see another festival of so high a calibre latinchied. Vancouver*s is labelled "first annual" which is encouragîng. We hope the ifinancial results will enable them to plan their second, and many more. This year, of course, they will have the great ad- vantage of thousands coming to B.C. for its centennial. We see by advertisements for Euro- pean tours that a number of ~,Trouble Is Business 0f Salvation Army On this day a pisoner is be- Ing paroied to a new and better 11e; an unmarried mother is seeing ber new-born child...fr the first time, confident of nis future and llerst an alcoholic ---is bciigWhèled in bis recovery from delerium tremens, a mid- dle aged immigrant is learning r a new language; a 13-year-old girl in a sium area bas received word that she is going t0 sum- mer camp. AIl of these things, and cou- ntiess others, are possible be- caýuse of the work of an inter- national army whose pnide is that no one fines a gun or Iknows how to tbrust a bayonet. b. This is an army composed of bundreds of thousands of ac- tive soldiers led by an inter- national corps of over 26,000 officens and cadets who battle in 85 countnies and colonies throughout the wonld. They speak in 103 languages and diaiects, work outdoors or inside, in nain, snow or sieet. They pop up in the -skraibigest. places- after a -Jlpanese earth- Sa new England flood, an Indian famine or a Mexican epidemic- anywhere disaster bas stnuck and help is needed. The poor inhabitants of the slums, the distnaught unmarr- led mother, the iost derelict, the pnisoner and the paroled, the dope victim, the jobless wanderer of the city's streets are the people who know this awjny well. The ordinary citizen also recognizes them: a cheerful uniformly-dressed band of de- dicated men and women who work, sing and preach in count- less cities throughout the world - The Salvation Army. These are a troubie-hunting bunch of people who go ouf of their way to look for it. Trouble is their busines§ and they have organized to figbt against it in a highly efficient manner.

The power of fine music, good acting, great art ... then takes over and the result, usually, is that someone's life bas been enriched, flot just for f: a few hours, but often per- manently. Also, and very imr- portant, festivals give artists audiences. There are getting to be more outiets ail the time for the professional actor, sing- er, musician or dancer, and this is good. This kind of grow- ing is the kind we want. Incidentally, we see the no- tice of a book by Ken Liddel "This Is British Columbia" jpublisbed appropniately in the province's centennial year. It sbould give much interestn information. sig SEPTIMUS PORDAGE Speaking of books, we are currently enjoying Howard Spring's "Time and the Hour".

The Bishop advised parents to rernember that thir Children are their first neighbours. It is most important to set the best example to children, he said.

OBITUÀRY MISS ROSE SOMERSCALES Miss Rose Somerscales, who spent most of her life in a val- lant battle against the odds of ill health, passed away in Mem- orial Hospital, Bowmanville, on April 18, 1958. Miss Somer- scales was in hospital in Toron- to and Bowmanville for the greater part of the. last six months. She was 48. Though having the handicap of extremely poor health for the past 20 years, Miss Somer- scales was always busy, either pursuing her work of textile knitting or in her hobbies of painting, needlework, making jewellery, or whatever else she could find for ber active mmnd and fihigers to do. At one time Miss Somerscales worked in the Thompson Knitting Com- pany here, then followed this line of work in Hastings and Peterborough. Affer returning to Bowmanville she continued to do work at home for the Her- bert Hosiery Company of Pe- terborough until about two years ago. Her paintings were much ad- mired by friends and those wlio Some day somebody ls going to corne up with a parking me- ter for a phone booth and make a lot of people happy.
