The budding young composer is Michael Banks, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Banks. 334 South Street.

Mike has been able to pick out familiar tunes on the piano longer than he has been able to read. and

has studied music with Miss Rhoda Inness for three years. Along with teaching him the

technique of piano playing, she has encouraged the natural ability he has in the line of playing tunes by ear. Before long, he was not only playing familiar music. but creating pieces- of his ownv-com- plete with harmony. He's come to his lessons with a new piece creat- ed and worked on during the week, and Miss Inness would write it down as he played it.

His first appearance as a "com- poser" was last year. when he per- formed two of his piano pieces on Uncle's Cy's radio program.

Mike is entering Grade 4 at

Goi-sebrook School rnis ran. Irter ieading his class last year. and he's a member of the Y.M.C.A. His usually quiet personality un- dergoes an amazing transforma- tion when he takes to imitating his heroes in the line of cowboy sing- ing. Then, say those who have heard. a brash. resounding voice bellows forth with a sound that is difficult to connect with the little boy from whom it comes.

Important factors in Michael's musical development. according to his mother - who by the way is one of the city's excellent violin- ists e have been his season as a member of Jean Fraser's tPlay- timei music groups for children. and his music lessons as a pupil of Miss Inness.

Miss Inness herself has just re- turned from Long Island where she learned more about the tech- niques of developing the creative abilities of children in the line of music. Her study has been cov- ered by the Teacher's scholarship of the Halifax Musical Festival Association which was awarded to

Youths Reach Shore In (late

ST. JOHNS. Nild., (CP)- Two youths from nearby Torbay Tues- day rowed their dory for four hours as winds gusting to 85 miles an hour battered them along the conception bay coastline.

The Windstorm which swept over the province caught David whltry. I8. and William Goose. 21, as they examined their lobster traps in Conception bay.

An RCAF Lancaster from Tor- bay airport circled the youths until help arrived. The plane intended dropping a dinghy if the dory was in danger.

A government fisheries boat also went out from St. John's, but the youths reached shore before help arrived. Their hands were bleed- ing from rowing

No other damage was reported from the gale which swept over the province Tuesday afternoon and evening. All planes. apart from the Lancaster, were grounded most of the day at Torbay.

Chevrier Says St. Lawrence Seaway Will Have Far-reaching Effects

NEW YORK (CP)-Hon. Chevrier. president ot St. Lawrence seaway said Monday the navigation and power project will. have far-reaching effects in Can-, ads and the United States. I

The power will be a godsend tol the power-hungry markets in both, countries, he said. The navigation. development, permitting ocean -- going ships to reach the heart of. the continent, will provide benefits that ”will spread in widening cir- ciles to be felt in regions far re- moved from the actual works."
