THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1947 ENJOYABLE MUSICAL EVENING AT HiGH SCHOOL The, musical evening . in Seaforth High School last Friday was'in every respect successful. Before a well filled hall some of Canada's best art- ists delighted: an appreciative 'audi- ence. Principal 10, L. Fox in a few introductory wads remarked among other things that the Department of Education made. it possible that the best artists could bring their gifted talents to as Many as possible pupils and parents. That not only means. a .musical evening, but also a deeper appreciation of musical ac-. contplishments, Mary McDonald hit the !popular fancy of young and old with her good accompaniment and fluent songs. She is an outstanding Canadian pianist of Toronto and New York experience. Dona Milian, who is a Hungarian violinist of Canadian National Ex- hibition fame, - brought her listeners with her violin in fancy to the Hun- garian steppes, Her playing is excel, lent and -with nice tone,. Colin Bray is a good ba.ritohe but best of all in singing negro songs, in which he was truly impressive. It is interesting to know that Mr. Bray comes from Western Canada. His "Home on the Range" .was perfect. The song is one of his earliest recol- lections and he mentioned it was also a favorite of the late President Roosevelt. Remarkable was the great. influence Abraham Galbe• had on the younger generation with his clarinet. Many tittles he was called back to give a little more and his popularity was fully deserved, Canadians are proud to know that Canada can bring such good art- ists before its footlights. Many :have expressed the hope that after this evening yet more may follow. Fifth Form, assisted by Miss Aiudrey Hall of the Home Economics Depar•tMent, entertained at a party afterward.

Suck is the case with the Goshen United congregation in Stanley Tp. Under the faithful and efficient consecrated ministry of the Rev. (Miss) Reba Herm; for the past 5 or 0 years, this bunch of rural people, and especially the young people of the community, have remained loyal to their.' church, and have deckled that the time has come when they should 'rise and build' a new 'House of wor- ship,' at an estimated cost of $15,000 to replace the 78-year,old structure, built by their forefathers (no doubt at great sacrifice), in the pioneer days. In examining the early records, it isinterestingto note that the present congregation are very largely des- cendants of the men who took an active.,per't in the building 01 the church nearly 4 score years ago. As is the case with all places of worship this 'Little White Church` holds very happy and sacred Mem- ories for those who have worshiped there through the years. Many will bear witness to this, who through the Gospel message that was proclaimed and the special services conducted from time to time, were led to yield their hearts and lives and dedicate themselves to the ..service of the Master. Some from this little church are. preaching the Gospel in our own country, others went into missionary work, and we think of one Whose entire family to -day are in the mis- sionary work. How -far-reach.lug the Influence of this little church has -beon, Eternity alone will reveal. Therefore we say 'Goal -speed' to this loyal bunch who have undertaken this worthy effort to perpetuate the work of God in their community and to advance His kingdom on earth. - -.-C'ontrfbuted by a former metubetr, PURCHASES JERSEY HERD SIRE Air.

Stratford, Once again the Red Cross Society appeals to the people of Canada for support in its groat human ilaria.n work. The wan is over but, its aftermath; is evident everywhere. The peoples of the werld c1' crit for help and on every hand the need is desperate, :Cite ravages of winter have added to the already critical sltuation. Millions of earth's people are in a state of utter poverty. Food and clothing are needed at once lest the dark cloud of death envelop the already devastated countries of Europe, The cause of the Red. Cross is the cause of humanity and the response of every citizen of Canada is required if even the barest necessities are to be provided. We are among the most favoured of all nations and peoples and we must not, indeed, we cannot allow the cry of oar suffering' and needy brothers to go unheeded, The Red Cross Society of Canada appeals to Wren and women o1 every Class, colour and 'creed in this cam- paign to subscribe $5,000,000. How insignificant this amount is when we consider the hundreds of millions spent for less worthy causes. The -citizens of Seaforth and Dis• trict have a vital share in this Do- minion wide effort. We are asked to subscribe the sunt of $2,500. The campaign commences on Mauch 3rd, and with the support of every mem- ber of this community there is Ito doubt that the allocation will be over subscribed.
