As a tool for music
education in our schools, the
ukulele is incomparable.
More and more teachers all
across Canada are swinging
to this point of view, not least
among them some 40
elementary teachers and
music supervisors from
Huron County schools here in
Southwestern Ontario. They
met October 29, a
Professional Activity Day,
with J. Chalmers Doane,
Supervisor of Music
Education in the Halifax
Public Schools, for an all-day
workshop at the Huron
Centennial School,
Brucefield. A call had gone
out to all interested teachers
to sign up and get together on
that day for some very high
quality instruction from Mr.
Doane and his assistant,
Mrs. Jody Wood, who had
stayed over from the
Ontario Ukulele Workshop
in Toronto so they could be
with us that Monday.
The response was hear-
tening. Four follow-up
sessions were to come after
the introductory workshop,
where teachers could build
on the skills learned from
Mr. Doane.
The day with Mr. Doane
and Mrs. Wood was a great
success, with lots of singing,
strumming, picking, to say
nothing of the fact that so
many came away convinced
now that the ukulele was a
far more versatile in-
strument than most had
heretofore believed it to be,
Besides straight strum-
ming and cord learning, the
teachers were led into the
possibilities presented by
off-beat accents, picking of

Waiting is tiring
Are You Coming
Santa Claus?
By KRISTYN DARLING
Stephen Central
I was lying in bed on
Christmas Eve, waiting and
watching for Santa Claus to
come. It was about 1.30 a.m.
and my eyes were getting
tired. I was waiting, won-
dering if Santa Claus would
ever come. "I know there
are other houses." I said to
myself. I said, so no one
would wake up, "Are you
coming Santa Claus?"
I could hear no foot steps
or the pawing and panting of
each little hoof, It was 2.30
a.m. I was beginning to
wonder if Santa Claus would
ever come.
Suddenly on the roof I
heard the the panting and
pawing of each little hoof and
the sliegh sliding across. I
heard a big ho-ho! It was
.Santa Claus for sure!
I was so tired that when I
heard Santa Claus on the
roof I tucked myself under
the covers and went fast
asleep even though I wanted
to see what Santa Claus had
brought for me. In the
morning I had learned that
Santa Claus would always
come.
WAITING FOR Santa
Claus is a tiring job, I know!

scales, and melodies, singing
with four-part harmony, (it
makes you shiver) and the
great sound of the soft pic as
demonstrated by the
Ukuleles Unique of Huron
Centennial School who
performed under the
direction of their teacher and
conductor, Mrs, Doris
McKinley.
Mr. Doane and Jody
favoured us with several
ukulele solos, executed with
fascinating skill; we heard
about functional piano, and
functional bass, and Mr.
Doane taught a demon-
stration lesson to a group of
beginners, children from
Grade 6 in Huron Centennial
School who are just ready to
begin playing the ukulele.
There was excitement in the
air and eagerness to get on
with the follow-up sessions
the next week.
The follow-up sessions
were held in Clinton Public
School on four Wednesday
evenings, November 7, 14,
21, and the last one is slated
for December 12. In these,
the two able instructors have
been Doris McKinley and
Joan Perrie, assisted by
three others who had been to
several ukulele workshops,
provincial and national, and
who were at present
teaching ukulele in their own
schools. They are Mrs.
Audry Haberer, Chris
Eagleson, and Hugh Sin-
namon.
Instruction has been on
two levels, with the sessions
starting at 7:15 sharp, going
to about 8:45, and ending
with a mass wrap-up session
where we all play and sing
together. The advancement
in learning to accent the
strum, find the chords, and
pick the melody has been
gratifying. We have even
started to harmonize the D
scale. By 9:15 everyone is
sung, picked, and strummed
out so we break up and go
our separate ways home.
All participants have left
these evenings with new
skills, ideas, material which
they can use in their own
programs, to say nothing of
the inspiration they have
received and satisfaction
they have derived from
mastering the rudiments of
instrument playing. The
instructors entertained the
group on the 21st with their
version of "Plaisir
d'Amour", complete with
cross-string pic and con-
tinuous tremolo, which was
well-received. More solos
and duets are said to be
cooking.All in all, the
workshops and follow-ups
have given a great lift to
ukulele playing in Huron
County. Thanks to Mr. J.
Coulter, Superintendent for
the Huron County Board of
Education whose in-
spiration it was to im-
plement this program using
those of us who had been
away to Toronto and Halifax
on workshops as resource
people. Listen for the sound
of the magic uke, for it is
bound to be heard in-
creasingly in the schools of
our county.
My Little Candy

My little candy cane is red,
white, and green.
I got if off the Christmas
Tree, when nobody was to be
seen. I broke a silver ball but
thats not all, I broke the little
bell that used to ding so well.
But I saved my little candy
