Murtha • .. d 6:{ Not long ago I was privileclged to sit in on a.practice session of a most inspiring group of young people, between 100 to 140 youngsters -- teenagers --- of the .Canadian Forces Base of Trenton "SING OUT" group - an extention of "Up With People," and as fine a bunch- of ambasssadors as any country could desire. Recently, Up With People returned to Canada, touring through cities in Ontario and ,you may have caught one of their, performances - since six shows were given in London alone — two to overflow crowds. —, and four appearances in Kitchener. The audience response has been terrific. The youngsters are drawing large enthusiastic crowds wherever they go - and they are Going all over the world! The young Canadian Larry Smith who helped start and ,a organize the original cast in Trenton, moved to Germany when his father . was transferred and is now creating his second cast at LAHR -, CFB Germany. He left • teenagers who are certainly looking, with pride, to the future of Canada and they are certainly a credit to the ' young organizer and are really making a name for themselves in their travels all over the country. These young people direct, cast and train their own group. They are a unique aggregate of P songsters and musicians. They have learned songs, speeches, dances, choreography and harmony to compose a very professional 'two `hour show. They hake outfitted themselves with costumes and acquired a lighting, sound, stage complex. "There is something going for Canada" - are not just words to them as they have undertaken the challenge to create ___ new image for youth oftoday. They show respect and interest in what is happening and give this undivided attention to ,the socialists. and speakers. No ._ fooling around or acting up. - and tardiness is just NOT ,allowed. The discipline is GREAT,. Their songs have a meaning - a message' = which certainty gets to you. "What color .is Gods' skin? every man's the same in, the good Lords' sight. "Every„guy and girl is needed to make a new tomorrow.” "The children laugh when th'e sun comes up in the morning." "Canada has a Heart." Their songs, ' rythm, . and action make any sit-in audience come to their feet with wild applause. Here is a new breed -of young Canadians - people of warmth and affection- and concern for others - and -very noticeable in this generation, is the new pride of being a Canadian. These young people make you feel you need have no fear for the future of our country, It is in good hands! They have been doing great work in assisting in fund raising drives and other cpuntless community functions. Their practise time is limited - and so is very full and to the point. It does your heart good to see these youngsters really Work! Huron history corner---- Continued -from Page 4 - r Lake Huron, and who carried watches, were found and when notes were compared it was declared that practically all the watches stopped at the same time. Captain W. J. Adams, a "skipper" on the Great Lakes at P - the time recalls one of the strangest mysteries of the 'entire storms was the Charles S. Price. The boat was discovered the day after the storm abated floating bottom up about 20 miles from the mouth of the St. Clair River in Lake Huron, The boat had ove'rtumed and 30 of her men were discovered dead in her hold. Jack Thompson, a Hamilton man, was in a hotel room in Montreal shortly after the storm; and icked..u.p al. paper.. only to read. of his own death. He had quit, the boat .at Montreal when she left for the voyage up the lakes: He hurried home to find a funeral service being performed for: him. I hope to see such a group started here since they ,obviously enjoy themselves acid leave feeling just great; and ready -for the next performance. Wonderful Troupers - all. Mother of their songs "The Wor4d. is Your Home Town," makes you realize how true this is and how small the world- distances are becoming. Anyway - all their songs, their manner of presenting them, the real enjoyment of participation ;really rubs off them and 'you are , clapping and. keeping time to the beat' of their music before you suddenly realize everyone around you is doing the same thing.. I hope to hear more of them and bring YOU that pleasure too. I see also the Catholic Womens League are sponsoring a Rummage Sale on April 26 at St. Peters Parish Hall. Now is the time to get rid of a lot of precious junk or clothes the children will have outgrown by next winter. There will be many of these sales sponsored by the different church, organizations and others - so start soon to set these articles which have at least another seasons wear in them - to one side - and do' a little donating. They will, appreciate it as every nickle helps. Don't miss the . Dance at Harborlite Inn - 'if you had considered it this Friday.
