Issued every Thursday from office of publiâ€" cation Main and O_nk Streets, Grimsby Subscriptionâ€"$2.00 per y $2.50 per year in United in Eight hundred odd soldiers, who are now on a train going to some distant part of Canada where they will take up guard posiâ€" tions, have every reason to take with them the kindliest memories of the Grimsby disâ€" trict. Stopping off at the noon hour last Tuesday, they found relaxation under the trees along Number 8 Highway west of Grimsby, and there, to their delight, they had no worries about looking after rustling the noontime dinner. The ladies of the disâ€" trict, in the same capable manner with which they have taken hold of other projects in the past, had sandwiches, cake, pie, coffee, smokes and all the other essentials waiting for them. The project of feeding the men was deâ€" cided upon at short notice, but that fact had little to do with the final outcome. Arrangâ€" ing for four sandwiches for each man, they easily exceeded their giuou. Many of. the soldiers were able to find sandwiches and room for them far in excess of that number. Their expressions of gratitude were pleasâ€" ant to hear, and the ladies responsible, plus the men who turned out to lend a willing hand, must know that their efforts were apâ€" preciated. The whole enterprise reflected the greatest eredit on all who took part. The Gri@ky Independent Of GemodrRbt MRA It is significant that the two great freeâ€" domâ€"loving nations of the world, both faced with a peril which would undo the life which they have so laboriously built through the years, should be blessed with leaders of such calibre. There is something frank and open It was just a year ago that Winston Churchill, succeeding to the highest post in the gift of the British people, told his counâ€" tryâ€"men that he had nothing more to offer them but "blood and sweat and tears". It was Churchill the prophet speaking â€" the same Churchill who had fought red tape and burâ€" eaucracy in an effort to get the armed serâ€" vices of his country to use planes and tanks. It was the same Churchill who, during the years preceding Munich and the disintegraâ€" tion of international security, travelled up and down the country trying to arouse Briâ€" tons to a sense of their imminent danger. But dark as the picture is now, with the prospect of a war drawn out over half the world, the position is far from hopeless. Churchill‘s voice has been heard round the world, ringing out a stubborn defiance against the totalitarian warâ€"makers and at the same time strengthening the spirit of all who live for the day when aggression .‘.'Elgl.fi Now Churchill is the bulwark against the very danger which he foretold. The we.mlns which he advocated so strenuously are being used with consummate skill against his own country. He has had little more to offer his people than blood and sweat and tears.‘ Today the position of the British Emâ€" pire is perilousâ€"grimmer even than in those dark days of May, 1940. Chamberlain, realâ€" izing that his leadership was not providing what his country needed at a time of war, stepped out and Churchill took his place. The position is not brighter, at least for the imâ€" mediate future. _ _ s ts / 2 Wwho BVE POF PVe COP es ceR uic omol overcome. He has been heard in the United States, and the people of that nation, bandâ€" ing together behind another forceful leader, are rapidly preparing themselves not only for their own defence, but for the assistance of their fellowâ€"citizens who still wear the robe of democratic institutions. / % Member Canadian W.

P The plan, as it stands at the present time, is that the girls are to receive their meals at the St. Andrew‘s Parish Hall, and to sleep and use the showers and sanitary conâ€" veniences at the High School. The arrangeâ€" ment appears to be eminently satisfactory, and is a reflection of the coâ€"operation which should exist in all communities. With the St. Andrew‘s hall being used for this purpose other arrangements will doubtless have to be made by the various groups of ladies using that building, but there has not been one comment on this score. _ _ their friends Snoum UC less this matter will .&."%“"";""‘m"“fi tention in due course.

The chorus for Thursday night was composed of the Grimsby Public School un> der Miss Madelaine Blanchard, while Friday‘s group was performâ€" ed by a composite chorus drawn from the schools of the district unâ€" der Miss J. Stoutenberg. Of inâ€" terest was "The Little Dustman", drawn from an old German song and transcribed by Brahms. Those interested will doubtless recognize the same tune, in a sharper and more marchâ€"like arrangement durâ€" ing the performance of the Symâ€" phony No. 1 in C, Minor by the same composer which will be perâ€" formed by Reginald Stewart at his Promenade Concert broadcast toâ€" night at ten p.m. over CBL Donald Catton, who has been heard on a few occasions recently, sang "Mister Sailorman" following the choral group, and his youthful soprano voice leads one to hope that he will be able to retain his interest in music after his voice has been matured. ‘Two traditional folk songs, one from the deep south, were done by composite choruses, one from Jorâ€" dan Lake and Thirty Mountain on Thursday night and the Alway and Grimsby Centre schools on Friday night. Diane Sawyer‘s singing of "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" was quite enjoyable, as was the little pantomine acted by Elaine and Mary Tomison to "Polly But The Kettle On." The "Parade of the Teddy Bears" and the . "Indian Story" gave the youngsters an opâ€" portunity of donning costumes and going through intricate little dances. These last three were done by pupils of Hagar‘s School under Miss Gracey and Miss Graham. A selection of choral readings, directâ€" ed by H. Wright of the Mountain school, gave the audience another reminder of the powerful words of Winston Churchill which concluded with ", . . . and we will finish the job." â€"â€" JZOnnie D00n , TTOM 250 POCM| _ Aecom| m.fm-tbepm‘rlm' At the next regular mecting to by Robert Burns, "The a“"’lm'r.!?nbymoml.)lr-.xwl be held on June 17th at the home Piper", traditional Trish Mel0GY,|angq Kenneth Baxter.

Highlight of the program if there was one, must have been the singing of the High School Octet. ‘This group of singers has been heard in not only Grimsby, but at several plcces in ‘Toronto, and their work last week was amâ€" «waks, and "Estudiantina", in the traditional Castilian rhythm, showâ€" ed a nice balance of tone and conâ€" trol of volume. One criticism which might be offered is that the line of ple proof of the reception they must have received at the educaâ€" tional convention held in that city male voices on each end, forming the ends of an arc, did not blend quite as well with the feminine singers as if they had been spaced behind and their voices spent in the same direction. ‘The offerings of this group were well received and enthusiastically applauded, as well they deserved to be. ‘The Young Men‘s Chorus, also directed by Mr. Eaton, is an instiâ€" tution in Grimsby, and anything which this group tackled could be counted upon as well worth hearâ€" ing. For this year‘s festival they did the famous Jerome Kearn selection, "Old Man River", taken ‘h-fll-ndulen-dy"hw- boat" based on Fanny Hurst‘s to a melodious passage, and doubtâ€" sitting at his desk all his life, can come to rule the Queen‘s Navy.
