Gail Sully, who was emcee for the evening, said in her opening remarks that Madame de Kurthy y is a dedicated Gated teach- er, This is proven- by the fact that she travels from Toronto each weekto teach a small class of '11 children. 'Moreover, ging the past six years she has become very. attached to Goderich and her pupils, three of whom have been studying with her for the entire, time. It was noted with regret that Joan McKenzie, of Lucknow, because of ` illness, could not appear in the recital this year. An exhibition ofbar worlg .by Toronto pupils and Beverley' Chapman, Mary Ellen McGill, Virginia Redmend, Marlene Round, Anne • Hopkinson and Joan Curry, of Goderich, dis- played accuracy in rhythm and precision; the first four names mentioned are beginners this year. The bar work, done on toes, by Lynda Baechler, Ruth Wallaceitand Roslyn Miller was delightful and showed much progress. _ The acrobatic work followed with Anne Hopkinson giving an accomplished- per- formance. In the variety section of the program, the tap dance num- • ber done by Anne 'Hopkinson, Mary Ellen McGill, Virginia Redmond, Beverley Chapman and Mary . Ruth Rush, dressed very smartly in Eton suits, prov- ed to be very popular. • -In this same section, Ruth Wallace did a : ballerina number and was later 'seen in something quite different, "The Beatniks," along with Lynda Baechler and Joan Curry. The last part of the program was the fairy tale of John The -Knight. The children did an excellent job of portraying the story by dance and mime„ The costumes throughout were ap- propriate, colorful and beauti- ful designed. de rgned. Lighting effects added greatly to the beauty and mood for certain scenes. Lynda Baechler was sweet and mean- ingful in her portrayal of Iluska, an ill-tr, ated orphan, while Beatrice zollosv, of Toronto, as Janos, did 'the wooing arid winning of Iiuska in a very manly and graceful .style. These. two .people had several impres-, sive and, well done scenes throughout the, story. Joan Curry was excellent as the witch and won enthusiastic ap- plause. The French Court in Act Ij i had a pretty setting and the sparkling gowns worn by, the princesses, Eva Kiss. and Caro- line Barta, of Toronto, plus the colorful quaint' 'dresses of the ladies of the Court added in a large measure to make this an outstanding scene. . Act 111 showed the children in' Fairyland with Ruth Wallace as the Fairy Queen and Rostyr( Miller as a little dancing fairy. Again fine toe work was done by these two girls.

AU&IJRN-EVE!LT- AUBURN, June 26.—Roses. roses and more roses decorated the Auburn Orange Hall for the annual Rose Tea sponsored by the Auburn Horticultural So• ciety. The front of the hall was an attractive garden .scene backed with a white trellis fence en twined with green ivy and red roses.- A miniature garden pond containing pink water lilies and shells, was centred with tall reeds growing .out of the water. Surrounding the pool were small colorful gnomes, a garden table and chairs. In one cor• ner, evergreens formed a lovely background,,ar the small imita- tion ' wooden deer, ducks and ducklings. Imitation green grass completed the 'scene with a mall picket fence • to keep the , young guests' away from this •attractive setting.

Canon Taylor, Mr. Webster mentioned that his own parish was also celebrat- ing its 128th anniversary this y ear. "Forty years ago," he said, "tie " Eskimos from Herschell Island to the Boothby Peninsula„ half_ ..the, Arctic... western -part,_ were very primitive people, liv- ing in the , bow -and -arrow stage, and today they have •been thrust into 20th century conditions: They face a-.ter--rific transition; they need your prayers and the power of .the Holy, Spirit to Help and guide them. "They did not worship a god, of every color on the 50 rose hushes in the garden. .Tea was served in the hall under the convenership of -Mrs•. Ed. Davies, assisted by Mrs. Lloyd Humphreys, Mrs.. Bert Craig, Mrs. Arthur Grange and Mrs. Wes. Bradnock. Mrs. Her- bert-Govier and Mrs. Sam D'aer assisted in the kitchen.

Guests were present from Clinton, Blyth, Londes -Aro; nde i h, Torontto Car - low and Owen Sound. - a - L * but their idea was to keep on the good side of the evil spirits. The _,missionaries_ ,were confront- .ed by the shaman (conjuror) who told the people , to have nothing to do with the Christ- ian missionary. "The knowledge the Eskimos had of the universe was very vague; it wag a large piece of land stretching farther than.any__ man had been, probably 100 miles, in every direction, They believed that in. the sky,. on land, • in the deep, were spirits that sought to do them harm, and, that it was necess.ary from time, to , time to appease ,the wrath of these spirits. They were in constant fear of ,the supernatural. They did believe t • • • It's in the transmigration of souls. "It is difficult to explain numbers to an Eskimo, for ex- ample the story of the feeding of the five thousand. There are not many more than that num- ber of Eskimos in Canada. 1 used to say `Lots and lots of people.' "Some people have an idea all we do in the mission field is spend lots of money and show nothing in return, but we make our people understand that when they accept .Christ they should, do their part to.- ward Qward the work. These people depend on trapping and hunt- ing- for their economy of Wei_ and prices of muskrat, may drop from $1.90 to 35 cents yet they still Flo-_.their...bestwto..s:upport..t church. L do not think it will be long until the parishes in the Arctic .become 'self-support- ing. We ask people to help us support the work -in -the Arctic. After all, missionary work is a challenge to each of us, a challenge which each one of us who has accepted Christ must meet. With the advance of civilization, Eskimos have received much that is benefit- ial to them and also: much .that is harmful,- but 'the work must be .continued and these people -brought° to Christ. I ask you to thank God for ;the evangel- izing here in Goderich and the diocese of Huron, and above all to remember to pray and support the church: that is euarnk gelizing among the primitive people of the world."
