CANADIAN PIANIST PLANS CONCERT TOUR Daughter of Former Wingham Resident Miss Agnes Butcher, Canadian pianist now on the faculty of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto has been claimed by Europe Some more than 30 concerts in 1950. of these will be under the auspices of the British Council, but many have resulted from demands by the musical public of var- ious countries, especially in Germany. Miss Butcher included Canadian and English music on her last programs and hopes to do so on this major tour next year. Recalling her recent c,.ticert in Col- ogne, Miss Butcher commented: "When 1 saw how hard these people in Europe worked with their hands to make any shelter for themselves amidst the ruins of war," she said, "and then realized that these hands applauded my music, I was so touch- ed that I might hardly have had the courage to go on, had it not been that my concerts, were already publicix. ed." She noted that in Germany where there were few material goods in .the shops, the people spent money on musk iewith more alacrity than in some other countries which had material luxuries.. y Miss Butcher is the daughter of E. H. Butcher of Hamilton, and formerly a teacher of Greek and Latin in the Wingham High School, As many in Wingham will remember Mr. Butcher was also musical and played the cello and organ., Bowlers Won at Hanover Three rinks of local bowlers played at Hanover on Friday evening in a mixed trebles tournament.
