VOCAL CONCERT
Tonight's concert in the Town'
Hall, Clinton, under the auspices
of Clinton Baptist Church, was
given a pre -view at a concert
staged in the RCAF Theatre
Thursday evening last when the
RCAF Chorus rendered a de -
delightful two-hour programme
before an audience of nearly 300.
The Station Fund will benefit.
At the close of the presentat-
ion, Wing Commander S. R. Bur-
bank, chief instructor, speaking
in behalf. of Wing Commander R.
F. Miller, AFC, commanding
officer, congratulated the mem-
bers of the Chours and stated that
he couldn't recall when he had
spent a more pleasant two hours.
The audience joined the Chours
in singing "0 Canada" to close
the evening.
The group was under the dir-
ection of Fit. Lieut. C. L, Hard-
ing, and the accompanist was
Sgt. H. V. Boyes, ATCM, LRSM,
ACCO, an accomplished music-
ian. Business massager is Fit.
Lieut, P..0. Jones.
After the Chorus had led in
the National Anthem, F/L Hard-
ing commented on the tremend-
ous amount of Work required and
the sacrifice of the members since
the Chorus got down to serious
practising in Febrruuary.
The first choral group con-
sisted of folk songs: (a) "Danny
Boy"; (b) `,`John Peel"; (c) "An
Eriskay Love Tilt", sung at the
Huron County and Stratford
Festivals.
F/O W, J. P. Robertson sang
two solos: "Gipsy Love Song".

piano numbers: "Jealousy" and
"Star Oust,"
The choral group sang three
negro spirituals: "Ole Man Riv-
er", "Kentucky Babe", a n d
"Massah's in de cold cold ground".
The last Droved very effective
with vocal banjo impersonation.
The third choral group,.fol
lowing an intermission, consisted
of three sacred songs: "The Holy
City", "The Lord's Prayer", and
Handel's "Largo."
At this point, F/L R. A. B.

fine bass voice, two numbers:
"The Big Bass Viol" and -"Asleep
in the Deep".

solos in most acceptable manner:

ment, and Rubinstein's "Melody
in F". It is understood that these
organ selections also will be
played at tonight's concert.

made up of popular songs'
