The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 12, 1978 Section Two Hold Pancake Supper at Salvation Army OCMA's Spring Concert Presented on, Saturday By Coby Veenstra On Saturday, April 8, the Ontario Christian -Music Assembly performed its, annual spring concert under the direction of Mr. Leeadert Kooy, .ARCT. Presideat, Mr. Chris Nobels, conducted the opening devotional and all joined i singing, "Abide Witb Me". Then the choir sang a joyous gospel byma "Saved. " The orchestra performed two movements of "Schubert Suite." The orchestra bas a wide age range beginning as youag as Il. There are quite a few youngsters including six young Kooys. It is iadeed -1a thrill to hear such lovely music coming from the instruments of such young musicians. The entire orchestra has corne a very long way in the past few years. The il voice children's choir sang several songs and consideriag their small number, did very well. Five year old Benjamin Kooy on more than one occasion stole the show with his big-eyed earnestness in singing interspersed with beart-felt yawas. The choir performed a beautiful arrangement of an old Genevan Psalm tune, followed by another sing-a- long, "O Lord of Hosts How Lovely." Then, the orchestra sailed smoothly through some rather difficuit passages of an Overture by Eugen Fullen. Bill Kooy played excellent solo on his trumpet. A choir performance of en excerpt from Beethoven's "Mount of Olives" began beautifully. -Soprano soloist, Mrs. Rie Schoute, effortlessly oversangl the eatire choir. Unfortunately the choir experienced some difficulty with pitch, la the middle, but it is to their credit that they were able to rally -and finish with a beautiful, typically Beethoven ending. Kooy himself played an organ solo, "Cuckooý and the Nightingale" by Handel. Rehoboth Chdrch members were pleasantly surprised by the sounds coming fromtheir new pipe organ. Thea the orchestra bouaced into an all time favorite, "Stars and Stripes Forever."l one of the choir members inadvertently provided a minor strobelight effect when the light caught bis glasses energetically tapping along. Kooy himself was so caught up in the enthusiasm of tbe moment that he almost flew beadlong into the aearest tuba. A beautiful Ambrosian "Song of Praise" by Gebhart was followed by another sing-along, then a very popular Dutch march by the orchestra and again the front row almost came under air attack by flying conductor. Eric Wild is a master of re-arranging familiar songs into new and exciting music. "Go Down Moses" is typical of bis work. La a beautiful performance of this spiritual, the choirs and baritone soloist, John De Cloe, sang. the traditional words andi melody w ith aew, often startling harmony. Tbe orcbestra played a 'two-note theme which gave listeners the sensation of actually hearing the slave chants as the slaves labored under Pharaoh. The final number was, Cantata Ï7 on the hyma "Lead on O King Eternal" by Leendert, Kooy. The unusual and very busy harmoay gave an impression of the confusion of the battlefield. This' was offset by a quieter, prayerful interlude and coacludéd by a sing-along. The closing words were a beautiful message to carry one home. The cross is lifted o'er us, We journey in its light. The crown awaits the conquest, Lead on O God of might. Hr'rA YDO«N Mr. Ken- Millar, Oshawa, called on Mr. and Mrs. Weir Swain, on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Black- burn and family, Orono, visited Mr. and Mrs, WiIbur Blackburn and family on Sunday., Allan Ashton spent the weekend with the Youth Parliament, Oakville.

Schools to Receive Wildlife Information Kits The Ministry of Natural Resources will distribute more than 30,000 wildlife educational kits to Ontario public and secondary schools during National Wildlife. Week, April 10 through 16. The theme of this year's program is "Wildlife Protection." The educational package includes two wildlife pro- tection puzzles for students to p ut together, an information. booklet coataiaing feature articles on wildlife habitat protection, ea.dangered species and the work of conservation officers. Material was.comnpiled by federal and provincial wildlife agencies and was produced by the Canadian Wildllfe Federa- tion. "My Ministry is pleased' to support the Canadian Wildlîfe Federation ia focussing attention on National Wildllfe Week," Natural Resources Minister Frank S. Miller said today. "I hope that the material we are sending out to Oatario students will help develop a real appreciation of both wildlife and the need to p reserve wildlife habitat for future generations." National Wildlife Week serves to commemorate Jack Miner who established the interaationally known bird sanctuary at Kingsville, Ontario, southeast of Windsor. Following bis death in 1944, the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Foundation, lac., founded ini 1931 to administer the Kingsville sanctuary, continues ta operate under family direction. Jack Miner (1865-1944) was Obio-boru but came ta Ki ngs- ville with bis family whea he was 13. As a young man, he launched the first Oatario game protection association, gradually establishied a haven for ducks and geese until it became widely known, and was a pioneer in thebanding of birds to establlsh their migration patterns. Ia 1947, by unanimous vote of the Canadia parliameat, National Wildlife Week was established by the National Wildlife Act to dedicate a special week to remind Canadians of the infinite value of wildllfe. Significaatly, the week always contains April 10, Jack Miner's birthdate.
