Attendance figures on the Confederation Train can be de- scribed as "peak capacity plus" and the Armed Forces' Military Tattoo, which opened to the public at Peterborough, Ontario, March 31 - April 1, has estab- lished its reputation for being a highly professional show that produces unaimous audience en- thusiasm and praise. It's a major understatement to say that we at the Centennial success of these important "opening numbers" in the 1967 celebrations. The Confederation Train ary at Victoria. By April 6th, when it was at Saskatoon on its eastward tour, 650,000 people had seen this colorful travelling Those in charge of the Con-' federation Train tour had estim- ated, last year, that about one and a half million people would board it. On the basis of daily crowds so far they now predict a total of two million. Unfor- tunately it is doubtful we can stretch that figure more since there is a physical limit to the number of people who can pass through the train per day and there must be a number of "no show" days during the tour to you could hear a pin drop as by JOHN W. FISHER CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER allow for travelling time be- tween exhibit points and for maintenance and repairs. The attendance figures are the main evidence of the train's suc- cess. Art and design critics aside, I like to quote a wide- eyed railway yard hand's re- mark to a fellow worker follow- ing a sneak visit on company time: "It's prarvellous. I want my kids to see this, for sure." -From Air. Marshal to Petty Officer to Private, all members of the Armed Forces should be proud of their Military Tattoo. The two touring casts have been performing to sell-out houses since the show opened. The Tattoo casts are split- second trained. Pride, morale and discipline also are notice- able throughout the show. (This "was nigted "by a 'Commission ob-} server during a. midnight brief- ing session following the final performance at Peterborough; 300 men assembled to receive comments and instructions for the next performance.) The Tattoo does not glorify war nor does it remark on fa- mous generals or battles won or lost. It does pull at your heart strings with memories or recol- lections of the "ordinary" Cana- dians who fought and died in past wars. Tattoo service songs -- of the earliest French regiments, the Scots, the navy, the 20th century wars--and original music are Manchester News Those attending church on Sunday morning enjoyed the fa- mily service. Rev. Mr. Teskey was assisted by Billy McCartney, Margaret Osterloo, Mary Mec- Cartney, Cathy Best, Anna Crox- all and Elsie Hofstee. The two lovely pots of mums were plac- ed in church by the Sunday School. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lamb and daughters were in St. Cather- 'ines on Sunday. Miss Janice Wilson left on Sunday for Toronto where she has enrolled at The Bruno School of hair destin. Good luck Janice. Mr. and Mrs. 1, Ww. Mitchell spent a recent week-end in Tor- onto. . Two very large flocks of wild geese. flew North over the village - Sunday morning. So many geese cannot be wrong so we may soon have warmer weather. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Mitchell and son of Cumberland were week-end guests of his parents Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mitchell and his sisters. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Morris of Sandford were guests of Mr. & ETT TS SC SPT played by highly trained and 'rehearsed marching bands. Au- diences on seat edges, with heart - in - mouth apprehension, 'watch the thrilling Armed For-. ces Gymnastic Display Team, precision manoeuvres and other spectacles including a naval gun-hauling race. It would be a surprise fo me to find anyone in a Tattoo au- dience who did not allow at least a measure of nationalistic sentiment to creep into his soul. The show will be a cherished part of many memories long after 1967. BUSINESS DIRECTORY .
