FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE CBC Presents 'Sarah Binks' As Radio Play By JACK McNEIL Canadian Press Staff Writer The now-fabulous life of Sarah Binks, "sweet songstress of Sas- katchewan," has been dramatiwed for radio. Canadians far and wide can gain some insight into the career of the great bucolic poetess by dialing in to an hour-long pro- gram dedicated to her -on CBC's "Wednesday Night," May 26. It's true that the satire by Paul 'G. Hiebert, professor of chemistry &t 'the University of Manitoba, has spread her fame to an ever-in- creasing circle of admirers. Newspaper reviews, magazine articles and previous radio tributes have all but made her name a household by-word. But for the reader long on good intentions and short on performance -- for the harassed fellow who wages a los- ing battle to keep up with what was cwrent six months ago--the radio adaptation of Professor Hie- bert's book will be a boon indeed. Tommy Tweed, writer and actor Of Stage 48 fame, and a close friend of Hiebert, was the logical man to take on the difficult task of summarizing Sarah's career for radio listeners without sacrificing any of the pastoral quality of her life or the delicate lyricism of her verse. It takes a'deft hand, for instance, to treat of the woman who could wrife the poem to an- Ojibway maiden beginning: "Patrick O'Neil O'Connell Late of the Mounted Police And Moon-in-the-eyes Maconald Are blessed but not by the priest." To say nothing of the sorrowful fragment that goes: "With grief engraven on my soul, I cannot roll in glee, The robin's note is but a dirge, 'The biscuit-bird grits me." Critics and sundry kill-joys will always be around to tell us that Sarah and the other characters in the book--Rosalind Drool; Dr. Taj Mahal; Prof. Horace Marrowfat; Matilda Schwantzhacker, least cross-eyed of the 13 Schwantz- hacker sisters; William Greenglow, failed B.A.; and Sarah's grand- father, Old Sage, who was stuffed and mounted and presented to the HAloR-<are not real people after all. Enough of such nonsense! The critics have had their day. Now it's the turn of the general public, Who--thanks to Mr. Tweed and the universality of radio--will be able to judge for themselves. * Poo BBC television is backing Brit- pin's export drive with a new pro- gran. called "Inventor's Club." A monthly feature, "Inventor's Club" presents both amateur and professional inventors whose prod- ucts are displayed and discussed by a panel of "experts." Shown on the first program was a reversible lifeboat which floats no matter how it lands from a sink- 'ing ship. Scheduled to make an experimental voyage across the Atlantic in the near future, the new lifeboat will send messaged reports which will be relayed by the Queen Slush and Queen Mary to the Hearing Recalls Kettlewell Case Toronto, May 21--(CP) -- An in- surance claim for $8,671 filed here Thursday was a sequel to events surrounding the death of Mrs. Jack Kettlewell, 22, at a Muskoka dis- trict honeymoon cottage just a year #go. Ronald Barrie of suburban Mi- mico launched the action to collect fire insurance on his cottage and its contents. Barrie went with Mr. and Mrs. Kettlewell on their honeymoon. The cottage on the Severn River was burned a few hours before the bride was found dead in a nearby stream.

In 1914 he piloted the Chinook Lacrosse Club to the dominion finals only to lose out to Vancouver in the Mann Cup battle. Native of Sarnia, he played hockey and lacross at Ken- ora, Ont, and Winnipeg before coming here in 1908. BETTER FOR YOU Hobbies or pastimes are better for you than "snoozing' in the sun.

'however court sources said -| criticisms "overlook the fact that Royal Couple Did As Parisians Do, Court Circles Say London, May 21 -- (AP) = Re- sponsible court sources defended Princess Elizabeth Thursday Bpainst Scottish churchmen's criti- cism, ; The Scots complained that she went to horse races, a theatre and night club last Sunday in Paris. Court sources said the rebukes were unjustified, unfair and unmindful of continental amenities. Buckingham Palace, in tradition- al policy, had "nothing to say" of- ficially. Commenting on their own, the the Princess and her husband were doing in Paris what the Parisians Slo=snd it was all perfectly harm- ess." . The general assembly of the Free Church of Scotland and the Scot- tish Association of the Lord's Day Observance Society complained in messages Wednesday to Prime Min- ister Attlee that the heiress-pre- sumptive to throne and her escort, Prince Philip, set a frivolous ex- ample to British youth by devoting so much of Sunday to light amuse- musements, Court sources commented: "It seems to have been forgotten that in France and some other parts of the continent ft is quite the normal way of life on Sunday to attend the races, the theatres and dine out. As guests of the French people, the Princess and her husband shared in .a typical continental Sunday. There would appear' to be nothing wrong in that. "It is unfair to say or imply that they were on a night club spree. Actually they were simply dining out, as they would be expected to do, and if there were theatrical entertainment and dancing surely that doesn't suggest a might club in even a faintly indecorous sense." The royal family has rarely been censored in recent years by relig- ious bodies. An Afrikaan church criticized the King for playing ten- nis on Sunday during the royal tour of South Africa last year. No other rebuke could be recalled since George VI became King more than 10 years ago. 130° FLEE FIRE Swift Current, N.Y., May 21 -- (CP) -- A 30.000 fire Thursday swept through St. Joan of Arc Ca- tholic convent, put all the 130 chil- dren were safely evacuated within a few minutes. Nearly half the chil- dren lived in residence at the con- vent.
