"78 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thundey, August 3, 1961 Ballet Discovery Gains Prominence TORONTO (CP)--When Celia Franca was hunting talent 10 ® years ago for the then newly- 8 formed National Ballet Com- pany. she watched a 12-year-old Vancouver girl dance and de- cided the youngster was a bud- ding ballerina. Lynn Springbett, a dentist's daughter, had been studying ballet for six years. But she needed more training--prefer- ably intensive, day-by-day in- struction from experts -- while Sompleting her academic stud- es. Miss Franca, then embroiled in tine organization of the new Toronto company, could do nothing to help. There was then nc place in North America which combined regular school- fing with advanced dance train-| ing. Three years later Lynn left| Canada on a scholarship to] Britain's renowned Royal Bal- let School, which combines bal- let and the three Rs. FINE EXAMPLE ® The Vancouver girl, dancing] as Lynn Seymour, pirouetted| intc prominence last year as| for talent, but nowadays when she spots a youngster who looks like a future ballerina she can offer the child the schooling she | needs without sending her out of the country. The National Ballet School, established two years ago in a former Quaker church in cen- tral Toronto, is unique in North America in offering both ballet training and academic school- ing on the pattern of Britain's Royal Ballet school and Rus- sia's Bolshoi. "It's something we've wanted and hoped for since the be- ginning," says Miss Franca, founder and artistic director of both the National Ballet com- pany and school. HAS WAITING LIST About 20 children attended the first year, 45 in the last year and there is a firm waiting list of about 50 more, only a few of whom can be accommodated. About half the pupils come from across Canada and the United States and live in resi- dence for a fee of $1,500 a year [for juniors and $1,600 for sen-| iors. The rest live at home in| stand the pace of an eight-hour school day starting off with a couple of hours of ballet. Private donors provide schol- arships for gifted children who lack the fee. One branh of the National Ballet Guild has paid the fee of a hometown girl for two years. Others get partial help from the scholarship fund. TALENTED GROUP The pupils--42 girls and three boys last year--range in age from 10 to 21, covering grades V to XII and a special post. high school course in ballet and| the humanities. The National Ballet hopes the school will provide a stream of fresh talent to nourish the com- pany. But the organizers, the academic staff of six and the four ballet teachers do not ex- pect every pupil to become a professional dancer. The school's administrator, Mrs. Sterndale Bennett, says the aim is to develop not only dedicated dancers but grad- uates with a grasp of the other arts and sciences. With extra emphasis in the curriculum on English, French, art, music and drama, the school could well turn up talent in an art apart from dancing.

"Hey, you guys -- can't you hurry it up," his shout rang to the men above. Taut, impatient, hurried, the scaler exemplifies the atmos- phere of this bustling camp where 360 men live and dream hydro power. They are scampering like elves on the final phase of a two-year, $30,000,000 project to erect a 120,000 - horsepower hydro - electric station on this remote western Labrador site. Conspicuously absent are the huge concrete dams usually as- sociated with any power de- velopment which, if necessary here, would push the cost to perhaps $100,000.000. "That's what is different about Labrador," says Dr. Rich- ard L. Hearn of Toronto, prob- ably Canada's best-known hydro consulting engineer. "Nature does all that work for us."

A tributary, the Unknown River, drops to the sea through a series of gorges known as Twin Falls. It is here that the Twin Falls Power Corporation, a subsidiary of the British Newfoundland Corporation is harnessing power to run the iron-ore mills at Wabush Lake 100 miles to the west. CHANGE SCENE Twinco's engineers created a lake - like reservoir by pushing earth dams to the height of the plateau, then diverted the flow over the 300-foot cliff on which the scaler clung. "I love this country," says Twinco's President J. Hartness Beardsley, a native of Vermont, N.H., now living in Montreal. "I know every part of it." When he's away, Don Stover of Maine, who shared Beard. sley's love of Labrador, has charge of the project. The 110 - mile transmission line to carry Twin's power to Wabush, now more than half completed, has to be built in equipment.

The result is that the road twists like a snake across Labrador. The camp at Twin Falls, with no other habitation for 100 miles, is an orderly array of steel buildings, bunkhouses with hot and cold showers, a mess hall, recreation hall, hos- pital, garages, machine shops, draughting rooms and fuel depots. There are no modern cars-- only trucks, jeeps, and small European - styled buses. When the station is finished in 1062 only seven families will stay here to man the controls. HEALTHY SITE Only six women, wives of members of the professional staff, live in Twin Falls. They have trim, blue-white company trailers a mile from the camp- site. Construction men pay $15 a week for room and board and the three meals daily include hefty second helpings.
