One of the most charming con- certs heard here in recent years was presented last evening at the Prince of Wales College by the Columbus Boychcir (above) as one

of the r in C mmunlty Con- cert series. _ Although the large audience

was kept waiting over an hour due‘ to travelling difficulties en- countered by the Choir. this group of :0 lads between the ages of nine and fourteen won their wsy into the hearts of the some- what restless audience as soon as they appeared on the stage.

Directed by Mr. Herbert Huff- man. and accompanied at the piano by Mr. Donald Bryant the boys accomplished seemingly im- possible feats of tonal pitch, sus- tained tones and precision work which were amazing. Their dic- tion and stage presence spoke very well for the months of hard work these boys have put in at the boarding school in Columbus. Ohio. where they were trained.

The high spot of their program was undoubtedly the presentation of Mozart's Comic Opera "Ble- tlon and Buttons." which was played in full costume. some of the lads made very charming ladies in their hoop skirts and powdered wigs. and the others were dressed in panlaloons and embroidered costs.

The opera tells the story of ass- tierine who win: her straying lov- er Bastien back. with the help of Dr. Eels. The boys combined their beautiful voices with a na- tursi talent for acting as they sang their different parts. In the mlnuet. which was danced by sl- mosi the entire group. the "ladies" were extremely well portrayed as they danced their way coyly from the arms of one partner to an- other.

Their presentation of Schubert‘; "Ave Maria". sung by a soloist with choral background. stopped the show for a few moments. and

had to be repeated before the

‘Boychoir In .D¢Heht‘l*1.C°n¢°rt Here

audience would permit them to proceed with the balance of the program.

Much of the credit for the ex- cellent work done by the boys must go to their very patient and exacting director, Mr. Huffman. who accomplishes work with this group of ifoys which is almost un- believable.

For his part of the program. the accompanist. Mr. Bryant. first presented Chopin's Etude Opus 10, No. 3. which he played with the touch of "one who understands the soul of his music, and suc- ceeded in bringing out the dream- like quality and haunting melody of this Etude which is said to be one of Chopin's finest.

As his second Mr. Bryant played the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 15 by Liszt, s worlr in direct contrast to his first of- fering in the rapid tempo and in- tricate fingering which it con- tained. As an encore Mr. Bryant offered Chopin's beautiful Waltz in A Flat.

Other vocal numbers on the program were: "Ascendit Dsus" by Jacob I-fandl; "Kyrle Eileison" by Antonio Lotti; "Fan in ardent cor meum." from "Stnbst Mater" by Giovanni Pergoiesi; “Ceremony of Carols” by Benjamin Britten; "Tea Boo" by Gail Kubik; “The Echo Song" by Orlando do Lasso; “The Deli Old Woman" by James .1. Savage, and a medley of Am- erican show tunes arranged by Lowell Riley.

It." is interesting to note that even while they sre on tour the boys must keep up with their scbool work. Travelling by bus. they have their desks with them and'spend a certain amount of time each day keeping up with their studies. ‘

At the conclusion of their con- cert last evening. Mr. Hufhnsn very graciously heard auditions of ten young lads from Charlotte- town and vrclnitywho have must-' cal aspirations.

s.

in opening his address to the annual meeting of the Potato Growers Auoclstion last evening. Mr. J. W. Scanneli. Anistsnt Chief. division of plant protection -of Ottawa. stated that in 1940 Prince Edward Island grew more than 50 per cent of all potatoes inspected in Canada. "This was," he stated "twelve times more than Vvas grown in the Province of Quebec."

“lt is interesting to note that in 1020 and 1021 the scr'esga in- spected in Quebec represented 50 per cent of the total acreage in- spected in Canada and four times greater than that inspected in P. E.f.” Mr. Scsnneli said. “During the same period of time the varie- ties in P.E.l. have changed great- ly. Originally Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain were for in ex- cess oi the other varieties. How- ever. since 1041 Kstahdln has been in first place in the number of acres psased. During this same period Sebsgo has moved into dtii place. This is particularly in- tmsilns in view of the fact that thefirst -Sebego entered for in- spection was in 1941."

New Problems

"Unfortunately this increase in yield has brought problems to us which were not very evident pre- viously." Mr. Scennell said. "I have special reference to the ‘fem of over production. From the 1048 crop, P.E.!. sold, over 3 1-4 mlluon bushels to the Un- ited States which has been her principal snerkst ever since certi- fication began and the sales to the same msrket up to ‘December 81. 100, were the highest on re- cord representing almost 2 mil- lion bushels. Nevertheless with this great increase in sales, your sales fall far behind the increase |n production. One ‘suggestion made by this Division to limit production of certified seed was to reduce the maximum size of -tiistubetsfronslalolos. All

than the larger ones. it would therdcre appear that the ‘ only _ remedy that we could sunset at , the moment is:— ‘

L

believe that the buyers on the export market would be willing to pay a premium for such stock.

Mr. Scannell commended the work of the Potato Promotion Committee. "it would appear." he added, "that" sales could be reasonably increased if one or two men spent a considerable amount of time calling on growers and dealers in the various states, pointing out the virtues of Cana- dian seed over that obtainable any place else," he said. “The com- petition is getting very keen and other areas. are sending their ex- perts lnto the markets to promote the use of their certified seed.

"To summarise, the change of varieties and cultural practices has brought about over production and in view of the keen competi- tion it is necessary that a pro- motional committee such as you have here in P.E.f. should use every means ,oasihle to promote the use of certified seed on the export markets. but at the same time the domestic market should not be overlooked."
