Let's Talk It Over

The leading spirits of the South Shore Musical Festival have been receiving well-deserved praise for the steady improvement in the quality of their presentations. Larger and larger numbers of ap- plicants are being received every year, but that fact, though en- couragiiig, is not so significant as the fact. that the level of perform- Mr. and Mrs. William Jones. who had instituting this annual festival, Mrs. Arthur Mac- Kay. its efficient president, and all others in positions of responsi- bility, ,can look back on the re- sults schieved at this 5th annual festival with a great deal of pride and satisfaction.

I O O

Flushed with success. and re- ceiving congratulations on all sides, they will perhaps not re- sent a' small item of criticism After all, perfection is an Olymp- ian quality not found among us mortals, and criticism is more use- ful for improvement in the future than commendation. We should like in point out that the order prevailing at these festival sessions is a little short of what an audi- ence has a right to expect. Foi. example. people were allowed to enter the auditorium while a con- testant was performlng on the stage. Generally in contests of this kind, no one is allowed to leave or enter the auditorium while cont.estant.s are performing. We do not say that the adjudic- ators were hliidered in any way by this disorder at the back of the hall. We doubt very much that it bothered them at all. They were stationed half way up the middle aisle, and were apparently not affected by iiolse at the rear of the room.

0 I O

In festivals of this kind. how- ever. there is a double function involved. It is not only nceessary to provide conditions making it possible for adjudications to be carried on without interference. It also necessary to protect the listening audience who have paid to hear the perofrmance and the adjudications. Those sitting at the rear of the auditorium Oil Saturday tfternoon and evening had difficulty at times hearing the performers' voices because of the lack of order prevailing in that section. .

I O

We enjoy placing the contest- ants, and then seeing how our amateur adjudication compares with the one made by the offici- ating adjudicator. We were sur- prised and somewhat elated to find that our findings were very close to the official ones. Our musical education has been sadly neglected. Until quite recently we thought Allegretto was an Italian spaghetti manufacturer, and our rendering (or is it rending) of "Home On The Range” has been mistaken for "Yes, We Have No Bananas". Yet, with an average gift of appreciation for music on the middle levels, we were able to arrive at virtually the same an- swers as the gentlemen who em- ployed all the "tricks of the trade."

0 O O

This is, perhaps. not so much to be marvelled at. because the ad- judlcators were using their tech- niques to mess c the entertain- ment value of the music. and that is what all We listeners are meas- uring. less accurately, of course. by simple listening. The import- ance of having trained adjudicat- ors lies in the fact that their de- cisions have greater accuracy when very little separates the quality of the presentations, and the fact that they can oifer valuable sug- gestions for improvement.

In eeponding to the toast to the Canadian Legion B.ES.L.. Major A. H. Peake of Charlottetown said that the Canadian Legion is democracy in action to its fullest sense. He said that the Canadian Legion with about 1-4. million members lb 1 great force for good in Camda. and deserves the sup- port of veterans and all citizens alike. '

Lt. Commander Clarence Mercer, of sumrnerslde, for the navy gave a very humorous resume of the laws of the navy in poem form, and associated certain verses with various guests who were present.

Group Captain A. G. Kenyon, C. D.. commanding officer R. C. A. F. station Summerside. and,the only "permanent force" speaker at the dinner, for the Air Force gave an interesting outline of certain phases of Air Force operational and training facilities in the past as compared with thel present, which pointed up the progress and ex- pansion of the R. C. A. F.

Judge J. S. DesRoches of- Men- tague. gave an interesting and concise summation of the history of the Canadian Army from its earliest days up to the present time.

Mr. J. Watson Macrlsught, Q.C.. M.P., responded to the toast to "Our Country" and spoke on the growing sense of citizenship and a United national pride in Canada by its citizens. He stressed the im- portant part played in world peace through the Commonwealth of Nations, and the position of the Queen, who is an important link in the chain of dominions that form -the Commonwealth, but which in every other way retain their own respective national independence.

The guest speaker, Hon. J. A. Bernard in commenting on the or- ganization of British Empire Ser- vice League (B.E.S.L.) said that it is the biggest institution that ex- ists. He said there are over 15.000 branches throughout the Empire. The primary obligations of the league are loyalty, unity, develop- ment of the Empire. and welfare of the ex-service men. He said it was founded by the late Earl I-laig about 30 years ago and its field of useful endeavour covers the whole of the Empire. There are over two and a half million active members in the league and besidu there are over 5,000 branches of women members whose numbers add greatly to the work and the aims of the immense organization.

In Canada there are 2.881 branches of the league the head of which is His Excellency the Gov- ernor General.

Brief but interestiig remarks were also made by Rev. T. Ross, Amos I-Iubley, A. Kincade. presi- dent of the Miscouche Branch. and Mrs. Pat. Martin, president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Miscouche Branch.

The evening concluded with an

enjoyable sing song. ...s,

Short but. impi-es...'e addresses were delivered by His Worship Mayor Henry W. Wedge and Hon. W. E. Darby.

Mayor wedge said "this is Rs- membrance Day, a day set apart in tribute to those brave men and women who made the supreme sacrifice in two world wars. Not only today, but every day. we should recall these men and wom- en who answered the call and went forth to meet the enemy which threatened our homes and our way of life."

"war has come home to a very large number in this gathering." he went on. "and today, mothers should be A iiy . t ed along with their sons and daught- eh. We should pay tribute to them as well for they are, numbered

our country's great heroines snd'I say God bless them.”

In closing he paid tribute to the men in the services who stand ready to guard our liberties at all times.

Mayor wedge was followed by Hon. W. 2:. Derby who said that "on this day our thoughts go to- wards those brave men and women who gave their lives that this country might be free. To them the love of home and family were very dear. yet all these they sacrificed that their country might survive. They found courage to endure all things, now these men and women are dear and at rest in their heavenly home."

In conclusion Mr. Darby said "let us resolve to meet the chal- lenge of these troublesome times with the same unselfish devotion so that their gifts may not have been placed on an unselfish iiltar." The services were concluded by the laying of the wreaths and its the veterans slowly came forward to the monument and dropped their poppies It the base. the names of fallen comrad were solemnly and impressively called.

S'side Council Decides To Bid On Building

At the conclusion of the regular meeting of the Suinmerside Town Council held on Monday evening, a special meeting of the building committee was held to deal with the matter of the purchase of the old Post Office building in Sum- merslde.

In view of the fact that the Pro- vincial Government has declined to purchase the property, the Town of Summei-aide is next on the priority list of purchasers and should the Town Council decide not to take up the privilege of pur- chase, the site win then be put up at public auction to the highest bidder.

At the meeting held on Monday evening it was decided to forward I. wire today to the department stating the amount which the council would be willing to pay for one property.

Mayor Wedge stated last night ohat he was not at liberty to GIV- ulge the amount of the offer owing to the fact that if it were not ac- cepted by the Federal Government it migfht have a bearing on the future sale of the property. - S.
