The Top Shell.

-laving been reading from
]Maurice Edelman, the English
novelist and Labor member of
:Parliament, it has occurred to me
that in England the professions of
politics and ' writing have been
quite compatible, while it is rarely
so in Canada.
Of course, many government
.people are given to writing, and
it is more usual for them to in-
vade, thefield of letters than it
- is for authors to become members
of parliament.' But for the most
part the writing of Canada's
parliamentarians have to do -with
Royal Commissions and reminis-
cences, and Sir Wilfred Laurier,
Sir Robert Borden and Sir John
Willison did very well in this re-
gard.-However,
e-gard.'However, there is hardly any
present member in Ottawa—or in
the provincial houses for that mat-
ter—who are active writers of
known works. And to my know-
ledge there has not been in recent
times a popular writer of fiction
in Canadian goveranient.
In all the Canadian Senate there
are only four members who can in

"Well, acttially, I'm not really pointing at anything;
I'm merely here to point out ,the value of having
a well-known trust company to administer your.
estate. You see, your estate is far too important to
put away in the background."
He has a ioint, you know. If you were to take
advantage of the co-operation and experience
of The Sterling Trusts Corporation now, it
could very well save a lot of inconvenience and
trouble later. Write today for our free booklet,
"Blueprint For Your Family." It covers many
of the aspects of estate administration.

In the entire House of Com-
mons, there are nine men' and one
woman associated with writing. Of
these, eight arelinked' in one way
or another with newspapers, one
of thetas being listed in the Parl-
iamentary Guide as a "Newspaper-
man and farmer".
Notwithstanding Mr. Elmore
Philpott's interpretation of the
passing scene for a Vancouver
paper, the only real authors in
the house are Miss Margaret Ait-
ken, M. J. Coldwell, who, wrote
"Left Turn for. Canada", and
George Drew, whose books include
"Canada's Part in the Great War".
American politicians are notor-
ious for getting 'into print. Almost
every general has written his view
of the Second World War. But
not one has managed to come near
the accomplishments of the great
American statesman and. writer,
Benjamin Franklin.
Strangely enough, politicians are
not generally good at writing fic-
tion. Even Sir Winston Churchill,
who has become great not only as
a statesman but also "as a writer,
was not successful as a novelist,

tinued to write popular fiction all
through his spectacular career.
A, E. W. Mason wrote "The Turn-

The only outstanding statesman

siderable substance, both as to his
business ability and his community,
leadership. But he told. me a short
while ago that raising money for
schools, hospitals and welfare or-
ganizations was a simple matter
compared to the task of getting
Canadians to support. the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra.
It is encouraging to know that
people are willing to contribute
to schools and hospitals and the
community chest, because these
things are vital to our standard.
of existence. But in a country so
much on the march as our own it
is also important that support
should not be wanting for the fine
things of life which make one
country stand out above others.
Mr. Moore is president of the
Toronto. Symphony, and he has
been leading a campaign for $100,-
000 to keep the group from a
premature demise. The symphony
is a national body, from which we
all take some prestige. It is one
of the top ten orchestras on the
continent, having been organized
33 years ago. Since Sir Ernest
MacMillan took over in 1931, the
group has grown from 65 music-
ians to 85, who present as many
as 80 concerts a season.

At Hensall
Plan For Season.
(By . our Henson correspondent)
A softball meeting was held in
Hensall on Thursday, April 21, to
appoint a slate of officers and
make plans for the coming season.
The following officers, were. ap-
pointed: president,
ppointed:'president, Ed. Fink; sec-
retary, Harold Knight; manager,
Alphonse Masse; ground commit-
tee, Byron Kyle; gate and public
ity, Harry Hoy.
It was announced that practice
would commence` May 1 and any-
one' interested in playing softball
is asked to contact any of the
club officials.: Hensall team will
be known as "Fink's Variety". A'
schedule is expected to be drawn
up in the near future.
ers and other people dedicated to
developing.Canadian culture. Yet
only 2,000 people in the world
metropolis of Toronto give active
support to the orphestra. Millions
of other people, children and adults
alike, delight in the radio concerts
of the Toronto Symphony, and it
would seem that if the high calibre
of performance is to continue the
people of Canada,should be willing
to make some small concession to-
ward this end.
The address for those who are
interested is: -Toronto Symphony
Orchestra, Massey Hall, Toronto.
The time may come, ,of course,
as it has in other countries where
opera, ballet and the theatre are
dominent, that fine arts wil be
subsidized by the government. But
until that time—and if there is to
be a Canadian -symphony orchestra
toward which our own pianists,
violinists, guitarrists, flautists and
conductors may aspire—it appears
that the people will have to sup-
port it voluntarily.
Sir Ernest, incidentally, first
came into prominence when he
played the organ before 4,000 peo-
ple in_ Massey Hall when he was
ten years old. He was church -or-
ganist and choirmaster when he
was 15. He was appointed a Fel-
low of the Royal College of Organ-
ists before he was 17, and in 1935
he was knighted by King George
V. After the 1955 session he plans
to retire.
