Music for the evening was sup­ plied by Mr. Bruce Sharp and his orchestra. During the evening, the orchestra leader delighted the aud­ ience with several violin renditions. Charming solos and instrumental selections, balanced by clever dance routines rounded out the evening to one of the most enjoyable this sta­ tion has yet had. Deserving special mention was the roller skating quartette who after finishing many waltzes, whirled and pirotted m total darkness on the stage, with small colored lights attached to the skate wheels, which produced a pat­ tern of weaving and dancing lights which was very pleasant and enter­ taining. Following the show, Group Cap­ tain E. G.

The play which was written and produced by members of Camp Ip- perwash portrayed in a very realis­ tic sense the manner in which in­ formation was extracted from prisoners of war by our enemies, and the ensuing results—while in the second act the same scene is played when the actors strictly ad­ here to the military policy of being courteous and obedient, but of giving no other information than J name, number and rank. While all members of the Armed the Band. The more the merrier, Forces are aware of the necessity and a warm and friendly welcome is of keeping vital information frdm assured, the . enemy, this play showed how :The Brass Band gave an exception­ ally fine performance at our last Wings Parade, March 24th, and words of high praise were heard from every direction including the many civilian and military visitors to the parade. Bandmaster Robert Moore is par­ ticularly pleased with the results of his efforts since he undertook th.e task of training a Brass Band. It seems that it takes a good perform­ ance of the Band to make musicians come out of hiding and assist with their talents. We have several new members whom we are very pleased to welcome to the Band. This now gives us a 30-piece Brass Band and we hope that still more ot the boys who have the necessary musical ability, will come forward and join RENEWAL OF UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BOOKS w* To All Employers: All Unemployment Insurance Books for year ending March 31st, 1944, must be changed for new books.

Art For the Beginner A few centuries ago, very proud indeed was the ownei' of an oil painting. Today, however, many of us may proudly point to a beautiful canvas painting and claim owner­ ship. From a purely commercial view art in my estimation is steadily in­ creasing in popularity although there are many who may say art has never decreased in popularity. The fact remains, however, that with the introduction of the camera, the popularity of art in hand paintings has suffered very seriously. Now in­ stead of the two mediums in con­ flict with one another, they have united into one, in plainer words so far as commercial art goes, the camera and the brush go together. There are many forms of art, sculpturing, oil painting, engraving and wood carving, etc. There are many mediums by which you can do this work; for example, the lead pencil, pastel, oils and water colors. The use of the scraper board is interesting, but I won’t go into de­ stail about that just now. You will learn a little more about that when you really become interested in art and its prospects. Now first of all in beginning, you must have material with which to work. A good substantial drawing board is helpful, you may secure a drawing table, it is useful but not essential. “Pencils,” all grades, 2B, 4B, H, GB, 2B, or what have you. You will gradually develop a large collection as you go. In, buying paper make sure it is exactly what you want, for example, you wouldn’t want a rough surface for pen and ink work, smooth bond paper would be the thing. Another good point to remember when pur­ chasing ink, make sure it is the best; no artist, no matter how won­ derful he may be, can produce satis­ factory work with a poor grade of ink. Higgins India .Ink is very good. Obtain a box of Water colors and two or three gable hair brushes. Art gum is necessary, you should, have two or three on Hand, they wear quickly. In closing I would like to point; out, you will make greatest masters in mistakes so don’t be your first efforts are aren’t born, they are ail good tradesmen. LAO. B, Sowter.
