HERE Concert Thrills Audience Canada's foremost small orchestra held a sell out crowd spell bound for more than two hours last Thursday evening in the Wingham Town Hall, A dazzling performance plus an ex- cellent choice of music delighted the large and enthusiastic audience. Mr Harold Sumberg, founder and con- ductor of the orchestra, added consid- erably to the pleasure of the evening with his explanatory remarks, He won his audience instantly with his friend- ly, informal approach. The orchestra came to town for the Bole puropse of thrilling their listeners and it was 'evi- dent that they had every intention of doing just that as they gave every- thing they had to offer in technique and sheer artistry, Mr. Sumberg's conducting reveals him as a true gen- ius in this field and he must have been pleased with his orchestra as they followed his every move with utmost fervour, The programme demanded a music- ianship of a high order. There were sharp contrasts of sound and colour and there were abrupt changes of mood from the relatively peaceful music of the eighteenth century to the troubled, restless, uneasy idiom of the twentieth, century. Many listeners un- doubtedly found the .modern music difficult to understand but one cardi- nal feature always stood out, the ex- cellence of performance combined with that earnest, painstaking effort of con- ductor and orchestra, What more shall we say? The writer had his favourites that seemed to tower above the rest. Particularly the etherally beautiful "On Hearing the First Cuckoos in Spring" by Frederick Delius. Most of us have walked through the woods in Springtime and have thrilled to the beauties of nature, but only Delius has managed to capture in music the faint stirrings of new life and the elusive beauty peculiar to that time of year. Of course the "Oklahoma!" suite de- lighted everybody as did the "Blue Danube" but there were many who said that the "Valse Triste" of Sibelius outshone everything else, Gordon Day, flautist gave a flawless and ejciting, performance as soloist in "Divertiment for Flute and Strings" by the con- temporary Canadian Composer John. Wcinzweig. While this number was difficult to understand there is a cer- tain fascination about it that grips the attention and compels interest. This composition was presented at the re- cent Olympics tinder the heading cf "Music and Art" and it won for Can- ada the first award over all other nat- ions of the world.

Dean Luxton Elected At a special meeting of the Incor- porated Synod of the Diocese of Hur- on, the very Reverend Dean G. N. Luxton, B.A., D.D., was elected 13is- hop to succeed the late Archbishop Seager. The attendance was exception- ally large with over three hundred lay delegates voting and one hundred and fifty-one Clergy votes.. The Bishop- elect, was given a sufficient majority on the Second ballot, Those attend- ing from Wiligharn were Herb Fuller, Harr( Towne and Rev. 0. Lan. caster. Kin Wes Wright of Hanover, Gave Talk On National Convention The second meeting of the newly, formed Wingham Kinsmen Club was held last Friday night, at the Queen's Hotel. A good representation was on land, with President Art Loucks in the chair. President Act introduced 'two special guests from Hanover in the persons of Wes. Wright and Ade Knechtel. High on the agenda of this meeting -were the plans for Wingham Charter Night to be held -on November 19th. Kin Johnny Brent is chairman of 'Charter Night, and his report showed a great deal of work done on both the 'organization and program phases. In his report Kin Johnny stated that the date has definitely been set for Friday, November 19th. It will be held in the Wingham Armouries with a social get- together after at the Royal T in Wing- ham, for members and guests from outside clubs who are joining with the Wingham Kinsmen for Charter Night. Games, entertainment in the form of a floor show, refreshments and trim- mings are to be supplied by the host club, A hope was expressed in the report that approximately 200 Kins- men and special guests would be in attendance, and a list of invitations are going out to prominent Kin and civic and government officials, The Wingham Kinsmen expect to play lu st -to the following clubs: Stratford, Owen Sound, Goderich, Kincardine, Hanover, Listowel, Walkerton, Ches- ley, London, Blenheim and Windsor. The committees appointed for Charter Night, along with Chairman Kin Johnny are: Jack ,Gorbutt, Tom Raf- ferty, Jack Walker, John Heal, Don Schatte, Vic Loughlean, Andy Scott, 'Cy Scott, Clare Cantelon. The order of the program for Char- ter Night is now being finalized, and will go to the printers within the next few days. President Art, on behalf of the club, thanked Kin Johnny for his complete report and voiced approval for the manner in which it is being handled. In hug Friday's meeting, fines were imposed on a great number -of Kin for various infractions of eti- quette and protocol, ranging from un- becoming leers to smoking at restrict- ed times. It was interesting to note in most cases the maximum finee were imposed. After a fine meal, for which Kin Andy Scott could take much credit, the special speaker Kin Wes Wright of the Hanover Club was introduced. In a fine address, Kin Wes took those present behind the scenes of the Nat- ional Convention held in Edmonton late this summer: The keynote of his address was the 'plea for "Canadian- ism" which was the highlight of the National' gathering'. Kin Wes remark- ed that this could also be the work -of each local club individually. The Kinsmen Clubs across Canada boast a membership of 8,000 young men, and the success of any project depends on the cooperation of every member, It is a chain of 8,000 links . . and as strong as the weakest link. .0,dsiniediat.kleh0aOsn8 l.a S vntaol- Kin Wes was thanked on behalf of the Wingham Kinsmen for his enter- taining and inspiring talk. A few items of business such as tipping procedure and so on brought the meeting to a those, The banquet room of the Queen's Hotel was a perfect example -of overhanging smoke. The reason, El Pl-od-udos in regulation size were dis- tributed to each member by Kin Andy Scott., So, Kin Andy has nobody but himself to blame! The next reg- ular meeting of the Wingham Kins- men Club will be held at the Queen's Hotel on Friday; November 5th. The usual good attendance is requested. MANY ATTEND THE FOUNDRY OPEN -HOUSE Over 500 People View Stoves In the Making Western Foundry Company played hosts to over 500 interested people when they held Open House on Wed- nesday afternoon. As the visitors ar- rived groups were formed and headed by a guide, were conducted through the different buildings. They were first shown where the heavy steel was cut and fashioned in the proper size and shape for a range, how it was spot welded and proceed- ed down the assembly line. Owing to the bake ovens being run at night to conserve hydro, we had to be content with an explanation of how the enamel was baked on the base of the range. Those fortunate in being present at pouring time viewed with interest the work of the moulders carrying their molten metal, and pouring into the moulds for castings. The mounting room was of interest as well as the grinding machines, in grinding and polishing the tops of stoves and ranges. -The entire plant has been laid out for speed and efficiency and for the work carried on was amazingly clean. During the past five years business has greatly expanded, and the Comp- any officials are to be congratulated for their progressiveness. Everyone who had the pleasure of visiting the Foundry report au inter- esting and instructive afternoon. ,womEN9s INSTITUTE Book Review By Mrs. F. A.

Secretary Don Nesmith with much regret, made complaint about the "supposed" Open Ho-use held by the Western Foundry Company during the week.
