The Trav­ ellers were part of the Canadian music industry's lobby on the fed­ eral government to invoke the rul­ ing to force Canadian radio stations to play Canadian music - something radio stations avoided in favour of cheap­ er, readily avail­ able American music. The ruling took effect in 1971. In May, the group released a new CD, titled This Land is Your Land, a ret­ rospective of 20 hits from 1960 to 1966. At the Peace Festival, between 3 and 3:50 p.m., The Travellers will The Travellers, best known for their Canadian version of This Land is Your Land, are coming to Oakville. The five-member group will be the headline entertainers at the 13th annu­ al Oakville Peace Festival this Sun­ day, Sept. 19th, at Coronation Park, from noon to 5 p.m. The Travellers, formed in 1953, found themselves ahead of their time, singing folk songs with a political conscience and in different languages, reflecting Canada's multi-culturalism - long before this became fashionable. They released the Canadian version of This Land is Your Land based on the original American version written by Woody Guthrie, in 1954. The hit song catapulted The Travellers into Canadian stardom during the mid- 1950s - long before Canada had its own star system for music. At the time, Guthrie was suf­ fering from Huntington's Disease, an incurable, degen­ erative brain dis­ order. In return for using his music to pen their version of This Land is Your Land, all royalties from the hit go to the Woody Guthrie Foundation for research on Huntington's Disease. The Trav­ ellers released The group's inaugural performance was a protest show in front of the British Columbia legislature in Victo­ ria. Since then, the group has grown into a protest movement with at least 25 chapters across Canada and inter­ nationally. Speakers at the festival will include Anne Adelson, of Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, 1:10 to 1:40 p.m.; and Stephen Dankowich, volunteer director of the Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights (which stages the annual Oakville Peace Festival), 3:50 to 4 p.m., speaking about the International Campaign for the Innu and the Earth. He represented this organization at The Hague Appeal for Peace confer­ ence in The Netherlands in May. perform a mix of Canadian, peace, and children's songs.
