Public libraries in the region
of Waterloo and in Forth, Huron
and Wellington counties are
sponsoring performances of some
of Canada's best "known artists
through the Ontario Outieach
program.
Jan Rubes, Czechoslovakian-
born opera singer, television
personality, writer and narrator,
recently performed ..Christmas
programs for children ,in
Cambridge and Stratford, and
will be aptiearirfg ih the Kitchener,
and New • tilamburg public
libraries neTt
(December 11).
Saturday ,
Working with Guelph opera
singer Ann Linden, Mr. Rubes
traces the development of music-
and singing throUgh a selection of
Christmas songs in many
languages. -
The program is part of the
singer's' efforts to populariie
opera, and this forms the basis for
his regular' television, show,
,.Guess What, as well. •form his
numerous ,concert
performance appearanc
• Canada. /
Wh ile opera will always be
something of an "elite" art form,
said Mr. Rubes, there is- no
reason why ,Children cannot be
exposed to fine music and singing
at an early age.
"This is the only • way to
encourage people• to develop a
love of music, he said in a recent
interview. '!While.'opera itself is
nly patronid by six percent of
e people in Germany - the home
of opera - nevertheless there are
manly people who have never
even had the chance to think
about music as an art form."
Mr. Rub.es.," whose li.,brary
' performances are coordinated by
the Midwestern regional library
system, also starred the movie
"The` Incredible Jo n and.
has recently con eted work on
the Canadian film "Lions for
Breakfast'''.
Also appearing through' the
Outreach grant 'program is the
Toronto Con%ort group. Five
regular -musicians, supported by
guest artists, perform vocal. and
instrumental music" of the
medieval and renaissance
periods. •
Toronto COnstirrwill appear at
the Kitchener library January 20,
at Guelph library January 21,' at
the Palmerston library in
Wellington county January 22,
:and at the Cambridge public
library, January 23-.
The joy of the new year will be'
celebrated "in a play by the

There you have one way of spelling , Christmas. . , . •
l'have been tempted many times to"say how
Christmas is not whatituaed to be. I miss the
magic of a horse-drawn sleigh and. the snow.
- seems ' shallower and less whites . The •
-fairylands on:frosted window panes,are almost
rare due to central heating. The artificial tree* ,,
never exudes tire fragrance of 'pine or spruce.
: ' Even the 'kitchen table with it§ festive fare .
seems to have lost much of its did mysteriouS

used' to be? When . I challenge change,

A few years ago the ew York , Life

• Christmas • Prayer . Which needs repeating,
again and again.. "Let us .pray that strength .;
„and courage abundant be given, to gall, Who
work for a world of reason and understanding;
•that the good that lies in every man's hear t
may, day by days be magnified; that men will
come to -see more . clearly not, that which

beauty, its hope and, above . all, its abiding .
