The Canadian Broadcasting Corp- oration's weekly network programme, "Percy Faith's Music," is hailed in the current issue of Variety as a standout. Land, one of Variety's crit- ical reviewers, has this to say about Percy Faith and the CBC programme which he conducts each Wednesday at 9.30 p.m. EDST: "From Toronto once a week conies a half hour of music that ought to bring fame to Percy Faith. This has orchestrations with the ripe lusciousness of the Kos- telanetzSpitalny-Paige-Gluskin- Gould type. Some of his numbers reach a peak of sheer shimmer where the listener is inclined to stand up and cheer. The program is consistently first-rate and standout (o1 the basis of several hearings just to make sure it was no flash in the pan)." Percy draith's Nlusie, heard over CBC's Na- tional network from Toronto on Wed- nesdays, goes to United States listen- ers via the Mutual Broadcasting sys- tem each week, Benjamin Britten Guest of Melodic Strings When Alexander Chuhaldin, con- ductor of CBC's "Melodic Strings" programme, returns to Toronto from a month-long vacation on the West Coast, he will direct his orchestra in the world premiere of a work by Benjamin Britten. The composition, written for piano and' strings, twill be heard overthe national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion on Sunday, August 27, 7 to 7.30 p.m. EDST, with the Britislr composer at the piano. Mr. Britten undertook the work, as yet unnamed, following his first visit to CBC's Toronto stu- dios early this summer. In the course of an American tour Mr. Britten made a guest appearance with Mr. Chuhaldin's celebrated Strings. At that time, he stated, that if his en- gagements would permit, he would like to write an original composition for the CBC orchestra. Word has been received that the work is well under way and that it is dedicated to Alexander Chubaldin, although the composer has not yet selected a title for the music. It is recalled that when Mr. Chullaldin left by plane for Van- couver, he was carrying a charm i11 the form of a rabbit's foot on a slen- der gold chain. Studio associates now believe that it was to ensure delivery of the Britten manuscript that the conductor was thus trying to placate the fates. That he carried it during his first trip by air was merely a coincidence. "Prom" Concert Features Elie Spivak as Soloist Elie Spivak, concert -master of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, will be guest soloist during the broadcast of the Toronto Promenade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Reginald Stewart on Thursday, Aug. 24, 9 to 10 p.m. EDST. Mr. Spivak will be featured in concerto for vio- lin and orchestra in D major, opus 6, by Nicole Paganini. The broadcast will be heard in Canada over the na- tional network of CBC and as an ex- change programme, in the United States. The Paganini concerto de- mands the ultimate in technique, Written by the world'sgreatest violin virtuoso, the music has been played only once in the last 12 years in To- ronto. Its inclusion in the concert re- calls one of the most colorful figures in musical history. 'Nicole 'Paganini was born in 1782. He progressed with his studies under severest discipline and ran away from home to become one of the most successful concert performers of the period in Europe. STRATFORD NORMAL RE- OPENS SEPTEMBER 12. Reports of the ,Tune examinations in Middle and,Upper School sub,je4cte are now being received. These re- ports will bring young studeut.s face to facie with the problem' of their fut- ure occupation. Many of the success- ful. candidates will be planning to enter the 'Normal School at Stratford in September in order to qualify for teaching a Public or a Separate school. The academic qualifications for admission to the 1939.40 Normal School course are as follows: Certifi- cates, that the applicant has passed the Middle and Upper School exam- inations under former regulations, or that he holds a degree from a Bri- tish University; or certificates that lie has passed the Departmental ex- aminations under the present regul- ations in the following subjects; (1) Middle School English .(Litera- ture and Composition), Algebra, Geo- metry, Canadian History, Ancient History (or Music), Physics (or Agri- culture, Part 1), Chemistry (or Agri- culture, Part II); (2) Upper School—English (Litera- ture and Composition) History, any two of Algebra, Geometry, Trigono- metry; and any two of Latin, Greek, French, German (or Spanish), Bi- ological Science (Botany and Zool- ogy), Physical Science (Physics and ChemistrY).

He Left at his death an estate of $500,000, including a Guarnerins, bequeathed to the city of his birth and still on view in Genoa. The instrument was given to him by a French merchant who offer- ed to lend it when Paganini had Pawned his own. "Miss Trent's Children," the popu- lar Canadian serial from.. the pen of Joseph Easton McDougall and pro- duced by Rupert Caplan, will, com- mencing August 11, be heard on Fri- day evenings at 8 to 8.30 p.m. EDST from the Montreal studios over the national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This is a change in time from 8.30 p.m. at which time it has been beard during the past year. ieh subject, ui g iod is't• al ohs and must be to feast 1s years of 1.S before September 1, 311e1, -which is the date on whii•h he would taste charge of a school 10 successful. in the Normal School twos tills, year.

A list of approved boarding houses may be obtained from the Principal on request. The sessions of the Stratford Normal School for 1939-40 will begin on Tues- day morning, September 12. FOUR GIRLS FROM BLYTH WILL REPRESENT HURON Four girls from Blyth are among the 'earliest entries for the junior department at the Western Fair. They will represent Huron CountY in home making club contests being held at the annual exhibition at Lon- don, Sept. 11-16. The girls are: Margaret Scrim- geour, Wilma Watson, Gertrude El- liott, and Velma Naylor, all of Blyth. They will compete with teams from almost every other Western Ontario county, The entry 11n both senior and junior branches of the fair is likely, officials say, to seta record, Pasture For The Fall Here is a suggestion from the For- age Division, Dominion Experimental Farms, about providing good pasture in the fall, Fall rye, sown at the rate of two bushels to the acre from Aug- ust 10 to September 10, depending on district and season, will usually sup- ply good feeding for cattle until well on towards winter. Early plowing helps in preparing the seed bed, and. once rye has made a firm start, cat- tle may be turned into the fields, but not sheep because they nibble too closely. If not pastured too closely, the rye will winter well and there will be early pasture next spring last- ing till the end of June. Then it may be ploughed under and the plants make excellent green manure. Now It's "The Boomps-A-Daisy" The bulgy bustle is coming back tor the ladies—and it has inspired a new dance in London. In The Ameri- can Weekly, the great weekly maga- zine with the August 20 issue of The Detroit Sunday Thnes, you'll find a timely, informative article about the American version of this latest dance craze, which begins, one might say, where. "The Lambeth Want" left off; and ends with a bang. A tramp knocked at the kitchen door and said: "Please kind lady, 1 am a sick man. The doctor gave me this medicine, but I need something to take it with," The lady was ready to help. "Poor fellow," she commiserated, "do you want a spoon and a glass of water?" "No, ma'am," the tramp answered, "I wouldn't trouble you, but this medicine has to be taken before meals. Have yon a steal handy?" Send us the names of your visitors.

A1uI to the thoughtful Englishman of today, for whom all the swiftly - gathered storms unforeseen by Mac- aulay are ;grim realities, it seems that Canada, of ;the several dominions under the English crown, could 01051 safely be entrusted—should tite need arise --with the .guardianship o3 the British Commonwealth of N'atione.

If this stupendous task could be undertaken at a few hours' notice and carried through in less than a week, is it unreasonable to talk of mass migration to Canada over a period of years? Neither the cost nor 111e trouble entered into people's cal- culations. They just went. Nobody was heard to say that he conlda't go 'because he loved the old familiar tram lines or the view across the reservoir. The psychological effect of such an exodus. which did in 'fac't begin in considerable nmnbers, may prove en- ormous if the English nation is again asked 10 transplant itself. The bong - fixed wheel has been rocked in its groove. As regards the cost most of it came out of the ;fugitives' own poc- kets, 'brut should it have become nec- essary to evacuate the masses who had no means of their own, the gov- ernment was ,prepared to ]lacy their fares and to go on paying indefinitely for their keep in makeshift quarters. \\wild such a hole-and-corner me- thod of saving a nation 'be less expen- sive than an orderly scheme of job-to- jdb removal?

Inmagine they decided that Ports- mouth, for example, was too danger- ous a spot to be a 'base for the fleet that has to :defend the whole Empire, and •determined to create a new and safer .Portsmouth near Halifax or Vancouver. At once a town of some 250,000 inhabitants would begin to grow up on the Canadian coast. It is not a question of bodily re- moving the 'people of Portsmouth to Canada, But if the navy—the reason for the town's existence—moved its hese, those directly employed would go with it, and in their wake a whole host of shopkeeper-, 'doctors, 'builders, busmen 1014 bookmakers and bar- tenders. This factor of cohesive migration 1)51' not been sufficiently studied in post-war attempt' at thawing mut frozen" populations. Yet it is ob- vious that where a civilized popula- tion ;depends upon a particular indus- try, you must move the industry •hc- fore you ran move the +population. When that industry is a concern of the state, as it so often is doday, it can the transported to a new location as freely as a chessman. Indeed, the European crisis last fall was a marv- elous spur to just the wort of migra- tion we are discussing. to a few flays the British government was confident of shifting 'tate whole focus of the country to the west of England.

Hunting is an anachronism; ag- riculture, in view of present gluts, is superfluous; and evert 'primary indus- try must justify its output before getting started. Modern England can not provide millions of emigrants ex- cept fur industry and commerce, and the only hope of resettling large umu- hers of her people is 'by providing them with the jobs to which they are hest suited In other words. the civil- iees] emigrant needs an environment created for hint in advance. This means that enterprises started 4y fresh capital mint be established 'ht' tore; and not after his arrival.

We 1111,81. SOW import raw materials to mann- :facture exports which will 'pay for our other exports—which is absurd. We have no oil, nickel, waterpower or .timber, ivinch of our machinery is too out of date to compete with that ,of better equipped countries.
