THURSDAY, MAY 2ND, 1940 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE FOUR Musical Festival (Continued from page 1) much less of the indifferent, more of the good, and a negligible quantity of the bad - if there be such a thing as bad mnusic, Ad- judication and organization of the best type, have moulded the fes- tival material into sornething plastic and responsive. Festival entrants are no longer satisfied to regard the praise of their per- formance as something attained, but rather as something which is Someone an incentive ta attain. They take up the attitude of the artist who paints a picture, exhibits it to the judges and the public, receives favourable comment, then spends tac rest of his life ernbellishing it in the hope to create a master- piece. 50 it is in ail branches of art - none the least mnusic. In the pursuit and conduct of it, there is no lintit either in the time or in the striving for perfec- tion. Statistlcs Taken statistically, our exper- gambled TOO OFTEN after a fire the newspaper reports says "There was no insurance." Only the property owner who took a chance - and lost - can appreciate that insu.ffic- ient fixe insurance is a real calamity. Don%' stake everything you own against the chance of being wiped out by fire!

This attitude would tend to chasten the successful, and en- courage the serious competitor, whatever award his effort secur- ed. Apart from the trivial impulse towards distinction at any cost, there is so much real joy in mnusic. so much to gain, that it is no matter that the adjudicator, with ahl the instincts of a teacher should jump on the technical failings and mark thern up as serious blemnishes. It is a fact worthy of note, that contestants corne forward year after year to sing and play, "take their sait - like it - and thrive on ii Statistics again reveal, that in a large percentage o! instances, the last have become the first, after several years o! earnest striving and properly directed training. So do drearns corne true! Elocution Classes This year, above ail years, the classes of elocution promise to ne decidedly interesting. '11e selec- tion of pieces is well within the understanding o! the young en- trants - sornething that*has neyer before been s0 entirely well ar- ranged. Another highly satisfac- tory circurnstance exists in that Mrs. Hickingbothamn has once again been prevailed upon ta adjudicate. There is a great deal to be said for the further contaM~ of judge and competitor. The ex- tent of the year's improvement can be noted, the eradication o! error can be taken into consider- ation in rnarkings, and pupils who have shown improvernent can be duly encouraged. That elocution is ail important need flot be stressed here. We have no need to go further than the recent political campaign, ta realise how badly the people re- quire good speakers to voice their opinions. And after the war, there Who"5 Insurance Mrs. E. V.

A Wartime Festival This is our first wartirne fes- tival. History has revealed that in troublous trnes, when countries were being threatened and des- troyed, and ahl seerned to be 1l- ing to ruins, art in ail its branches not only kept itself alive, but re- sponded by rising to the heights. Instances of wonderful achieve- ment rnarking the effect of war, have survived the passing of time. War compositions abound in the libraries of ail nations from the ruins of war, wonder- fully artistic monuments and statutes have raised their heads, pathetic outpourings have been penned by the poets, and writers have made rnapy inspired contri- butions to wartime literature. In parliaments, orators have more effectively and strenuously raised their voices in violent condern- nation of the ruthlessness of an enemy. Singers, conductors, in- strumentahists and aIl other types of performers have been spurred to sup$erlative effort in their attempt to reconstruct and re- place, something that had beer. overhrown by the ravages of war. Our Bounden Duty It is our bounden duty as mem- bers of this comni,Ùnity, to en- courage ail musical talent within our gates.

We must back the youth of our country in the carrying oni of our national traditions.
