Few of us would deny music effects us profoundly. It can create moods that calm, excite, depress and stir us. It can make us joyful and sometimes angry. It stimulates imagination and creativity. I've heard it can even motivate cows to produce more milk. While listening to records at the home of friends we were thrilled by the ringing voices of a mar- vellous male chorus. The men whose voices made up this great choir were the inmates of a large penal institution in the U.S.A. As we listened we were excited by the strength, vibrancy and perfect harmony of their blended voices. We couldn't help feel, that for a short time at least, these men had been transported over the prison walls and away from their restricted and drab environment, Most of us have walls to be scaled and circumstances to escape and often need something that will transport us from a realm of depression to one of brightness and hope. Perhaps if some of those prisoners had had more music in their earlier lives things might have turned out differently for them. By the same token, maybe if we all took more time to enjoy one of man's oldest and im- portant forms of art our lives would be further enriched and blessed, Carlyle said, "Music is the speech of angels" but it could be it can also do the work of demons if it's not the music of our choice. It was interesting to hear that in London, complaints poured in during and after an amplified rock band had performed in a park although there had been no complaints about other bands performing there. Psychologists, giving musical aptitude tests, point out that loudness, discrimination, in- tervals, register, quality, sense of rhythm and timing effect all of us in varying degrees depending on our musical aptitudes. Fortunately, we don't all have to like the same kind of music. You may be deeply moved by a great symphonic orchestra, while your friend may prefer the toe tapping lanes of an old time fiddler. Still others like the harmony of a good church choir and to others nothing will rouse the spirit like a colorful marching band. Jazz, rock, blues . . Bach, Hammerstein and Presley all play their part in the wonderful world of music. A good thing about music is that we don't have to have an aptitude to perform to enjoy it. However, I'm sure most of us who don't play a musical in- strument wish we did. We attended a rather unique piano and organ recital earlier this summer when the youngest performer was a little girl of four, and the oldest was a 50 year old father. The other 20 players were somewhere in between. Each played with enthusiasm and with obvious enjoyment. As is usual at these events, there were many more in the junior classes than in the senior ones, because there are always those who think the effort of practice too great and drop out. What a pity. Perhaps if music lessons could be made a little more fun many of the drop-outs could be persuaded to stick with it until they were 'over the hump' and on their way to true en- joyment. Happily, many adults are turning back to music lessons. The 50 year old man I mentioned had just taken organ lessons since Christmas and he did a more than credible job on 'Cruising Down the River'. "I love it", he told me after the recital. "I often spend four hours practising in the evening. It's the best thing I've found to unwind me after a busy day at work." What is it about music that lifts the soul, transcends social and racial barriers, and makes men brothers regardless of creed and color. Could be the old Chinese were wiser than we think. Music is magic. Patricia Connon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Connon was successful in passing the Western Ontario Conservatory of Music Grade VIII singing examination with honours. She is the pupil of Mrs. Marilyn Zivkovic, Lt, Col. Lilly M. Heywood of Washington, D.C. and Mrs. Margaret Barrowclough of Surrey, B.C. attended the Heywood reunion and are visiting relatives in this district.

The Lucknow festival will have most of them represented. The objective is to promote and encourage local craftsmen in their work. Many of the articles at Lucknow cannot be purchased in stores but may be bought directly from the maker at the festival. Included in the two day show will be a large selection of an- tiques for the antique hunter and the collector of Canadianna. Meals will be available at a booth and picnic areas are nearby for the whole family. There will be a 25 cent ad- mission, and the festival will be open from noon until 10 p.m. each day.
