The Department has prepared hundreds of thousands of cheques for a mass distribution through the mails. All letters will be reg- istered. They will go out. as fas" as the post offices across the country can handle them. In Montreal, that will mean 30.000 a day; in Toronto, 30.000. And when the last of the 1,118,200 cheque.- for individuals has vanished, there will still be another 100.000 Cana- dians who won't get their money because the Department doesn't know where they are. -

With interest, the average value cf the cheques for individuals is about ass, but their extremities stretch all the way from one or a few more cents up into the hun- dreds of dollars. Regardless of the amount, the Department feels ohligahd to send it out.

l8 years has made a hobby of

violin making.

from Orangevllle. Ontario, came t.o this City two years ago when his firm opened up their plant here and. continuing on his hobby of violin making, has made five violins out of Island birdseye maple and spruce.

In an interview with Mr. Reid’ yesterday, he said that his first attempt at making a violin wasi from an old table top of birdsaye maple, patterned after instructions

,he had found in a magazine. A1-

though "that crle didn't turn out very well, I became very interest- ed in the work as a hobby and have been studying the art of ‘; making violins ever since." He ha. , made all his own tools and moulds l for this work and said that it! takes 100 hours to complete one_ instrument. In making these Mr. Reid said that ho three definite types of patterllfl that of the Stradivarius, Guarrl-i erius and Maggirli, the latter being i one of the oldest types in the art of violin making. He reviewed some lnterestlngl facts in this art, and said that he ‘ has found that curly maple on tht: neck. sides and back along with‘ sitka spruce top, produces the? best tone. m. salo that the most: important thing, next to the wood, is the type of varnish used, all which oil varnish is the best. be~ l cause of its elasticity and durabii-| ity. He further stated that a new violin, which has been properly made, takes about seven years oft playing before it develops its fuLg qualities and tone, and if not play- ed, will not improve even if it ls put away for a hundred years. I Mr. Reid has just returnecll over the week-end from a trip w] Montreal, where he had two of his best and most recent models valued by Mr. Rosario Forget. a highly skilled violin maker lflfili repair man, who does all the work . for the Montreal symphony Or- chestra and McGili University‘ Conservatory of Music. During his; visit with Mr. Forget, he had the privilege of playing on a genuine Stradivarius which was made byi Antonius Stradivarius in 1732. Tile , violin was having minor repairs done to it by Mr. Forget. The in- strument is at present in the cus- | toziy cf Mr. Arthur LeBlanc. one‘ of Canada's leading concert art»; ists, who was presented with this‘. valuable instrument by a group} cf French-Canadian music lovers" in the interests of good music.‘ This group cf men paid the sum of $40,000 for the Stradivarius. and although it is ill Mr. LeBlands custody at present. ‘it is to be! passed on to some other worthy artist when ha retires from his‘ concert career.

Of these, only a minority were. turned up through the plan of mailing out household reply cards last November, on which people who had moved and who were: eligible for i042 refunds were ask ; ed to state their new address. Some 035.000 cards came back but, for one reason or another. only 150.000 were cf any use. Others were sent in by thousands who had not moved or who sub- mitted duplicates. The rest of the 000,000 were located from tax re- turns in the departmental offices

Even then, officials estimate that 100,000 people with money owing them will not get it, be- cause no sddreas could be found Any eligible person who receives no cheque by March 3i should write the Department. 81W hi5 1042 address and his new address and his money will come ill time.

Again, some of the cheques zo- ing out may come back. The De- partment will send them to the last address available.
