Dear Sir;-- Figures submitted by fifty chart- ered banks in Central Ontario dis- tricts immediately bordering on the Waterway indicate a total tourist $901,276.00. You are aware, no doubt, that a great many tourists reach the 1 Trent Municipalities already in pos- jon of Canadian fund and, for that reason, the total which we have com- piled with the aid of the chartered banks is a minimum one and it is more than likely that the grand total, if we were able to compile it, would be somewhat in the neighborhood of one and a half millions of dollars. If you are interested in the figures indicating the total of tourist revenue to any special municipality other than your own, same may be had on appli- cation to this office. The tourist re- venue for the past season to your municipality and district was approxi- mately $10,000.00. FRANZ SCHUBERT CENTENARY Just a few days ago we celebrated the 300th anniversary of John Bun- yan; and this week the life of Franz Schubert is recalled. Radios are papers record the events of his life. This musical composer was very pro- lific in his work, having written some eleven hundred musical compositions. "As has often been the case with great men, Schubert is said to have died poor, leaving only about ten dollars worth of clothes; but a wonderful legacy of glorious music. Jan. 31, 1797--Nov. 19, 1828 Twenty months ago the world was observing the centenary of Beeth- oven's death. Now it "is Schubert's turn. For, twenty months after he had acted as torch-bearer at Beeth- oven's funeral, and had proposed that prophetic toast to the next musician to die, he himself borne to the grave which he had begged for, close to his worshipped master's tomb. There is a singular series of ties between these two great geniuses. On "his death-bed Beethoven saw some of Schubert's songs for the first time, an -dexclaimed: "Truly, Schubert has the divine fire!" At another time he said: "He will make much stir in the world," and again, when Schubert visited his bedside: "You, Anselm, have my mind, but Franz has my soul." While Schubert, who, on his part, looked up to Beethoven as to his hero and ideal, with infinite veneration and devoted regard, paid with his dy- ing breath that most piteous of all tributes. When his brother tried to soothe his delirium by assuring him that all was well, that he was in his own room, that loving friends were watching over him, the stricken man faintly replied: "No, that is not true --Beethoven is not here." Beethoven was the Titan who wrestled with the world and set down his message in the sweat of his brow, after strenuous struggles, strivings, and searchings of soul; while Schubert was the inspired child whose songs gushed from his heart almost un- bidden. And in his musical form, the art song, which he practically created single-handed, Schubert stands with- out peer or rival, winning his way ever more closely to the hearts of all lovers of music. \ eee) (ee ARMY LEADER ILL General Bramwell Booth, head of the Salvation Army, whose health kas been causing considerable anx- fety to his followers during the past week. He is sald to be sinking tast. by Rev. Mr. McCullum, formerly of Toronto, but now a missionary in the Yukon, Mr. McCullum is home on furlough and is using part of the time trying to interest the different parishes and Missionary Societies of the liocese in the mission work of the Yukon, hoping sufficient money will be forthcoming to send at least two more missionaries up there where their services are so badly needed. After the address a short business session of the W. A. was held and lunch was served. Rev. J. E. Grifith and daughter Ann spent the week end with the former's parents at Wilfred and Mr. Griffith preached at the special ser- vices held there on Sunday.
