Audience Enthusiastic The man who is "Mr, Ballet" in Canada, Boris Volkoff, came to town last night with eight mem- bers of the Volkoff Ballet and gave a presentation in the town hall that entirely thrilled everyone there, including a considerable number of youngsters. A showman himself, Boris di- rected the performances with easy informality and humor. The bill was divided into two parts: the first a demonstration. , Far from being 'dry,' it was, perhaps the most interesting portion of the pro- gram to Whitby people who knew practically nothing about ballet. Unfortunately the town hall was icy cold, which made things un- comfortable for the audience and the scantily-dressed dancers alike. Introducing his program, Mr. Vol- koff said that the situation here reminded him of 25 years ago when he was introducing ballet into To- ronto. Though the hall was not full, those present were intensely interested in all the proceedings from the opening of the National Anthem which the piamst Margaret Clemens rendered with a rarely- heard majesty, to the last curtain call. Both audience and artists warmed up in spirit as the evening Insulate with "ROCKWOOL" Blowing Method "WE MAKE WARM FRIENDS" FREE ESTIMATES WALTER WARD PHONE WHITBY 2563 STROWGER'S FURNITURE CO. LTD.

Call It "Simple" Joyce Hill, Connie Campbell," Lil- lian Jarvis and Patricia Thornton took part in the demonstration. Mr. Volkoff showed the simple basic ballet positions and then went on to show examples of adagio, acro- batic and classic dancing. In the two latter, John Marsha was the male dancer, first with. Miss Camp- bell and then with Isabel Bodkin. A garage ..iechanic by day, ex- wrestler and pugilist, Mr. Marsha thinks that ballet "beats them all." As introduction to the actual kallet program, Mrs. Volkoff (Janet Baldwin) gave the audience a short history of the development of bal- let. Without program notes, the au- dience was somewhat handicapped with two numbers. Volkoff lived up to his colorful reputation. The first number, the 'Swan Ballet' of Tschaikowsky was pleasing exhibition of scrupulous ny brilliantly done by Miss Hill, Miss Campbell and Miss Jarvis. Second was a comedy number, or rather a satire, "Gossips" to the music of Shostokowitch, Done by the very accomplished dancers; Natalia Butko and Patricia Thorn- ton, this little bit of satire, in comedy costume was fun at its best, Going into real boogie-woogie, Na- talia and Pat were a riot. Something of the classic ball- room atmosphere was brought next as Mr. Marsha and Miss Baldwin did "Waltz" to music of Tschaikow- sky. This was the only number in which. Mrs, Volkoff appeared, though the audience would have liked to have seen more of her bril- liant dancing. Beautiful Dance The final number "Ballerina Ab- soluta" was the most difficult for the uninitiated audience, though anyone could appreciate the bepu- tiful choreography. Also a satire set to the music of Auber, the basic idea is built around the notorious temperament of the leading bal- lerina of some ballet companies which flourished about 1858-1870. These privileged ladies sometimes made ridiculous fools of themselves, being a law unto themselves and taking all sorts of privileges with other members of the company. In this number the principles were William Diver and Natalia Butko with the other four girls support- ing. Sponsored by Whitby Recreational Association, the evening was a fine success, very stimulating and per- haps a forecast of an interest which local people may take in high class ballet at some future day. At any rate, Mr, Volkoff and his company showed good will, originality, color and charm. What more could any audience ask? Also in Whitby last night was Stewart James, the Volkoff ballet business manager. MERCY FLIGHT Halifax, March 4 -- (CP) -- An R.CAF. search and rescue Lancas- ter aircraft left the Greenwood, N.S.

In every month of the year there is important service it can render. In the Spring it is a nursery for young plants; under its protec- tion vegetables and flowers can be started weeks earlier than they could be sown outdoors; and guard- ed from belated frosts until time ta see them in the garden, The use of hotbeds, which e are merely heated cold frames, are the gardener's best bet for promoting early growth. Tomato plants, cu- cumbers, and many of the tender annual flowers that demand a long growing season benefit from an early start in a hotbed. With a hotbed the northern gar- dener can obtain as good results in forcing his plants as a southern gardener enjoys with his cold frame that depends on solar heat. Both beds are built in multiples of three feet wide and six feet long. inex- pensive sashes used for their roofs are exactly these same dimensions, To make a cold frame is so easy, any one who can wield a saw and hammer can do it, It is usually made three by six feet, or some multiple of this, for the reason that standard hot-bed sash are of these dimensions. This standard sash may be used for both hot-beds and cold frames. They can be any size you wish, to fit old windows, or frames covered with one of the modern glass substitutes. These glass substitutes are worth considering. They do not break, and the breakage of glass in windy lo- calities is sometimes considerable. They are much lighter than glass, a merit which women appreciate. They do not let in as much light as glass, but for growing seedings they let in enough. In making a cold frame, the frame should be constructed of one inch boards, of cypress, white pine or some wood which resists rot. dig a hole in the ground slightly larger than ..e size of the frame. It should be at least a foot deep. Into this hole put the frame you have built so that 6 inches of it is beneath the surface an dthe remainder above. This will insure that no drafts enter from beneath. Construct the frame so that the front is 8 inches above the surce, and the rear, 12 inches. It must slant toward the south. It is well to hinge the sash at the top of the frame , so it can be easily opened for transplanting purposes and airing. « Three general mediums are used for heat production: Wherever fresh manure os obtainable, a layer of It 12 to 18 inches deep, topped with a soil in which the plants are to be started, ais ideal construction. Fill the excavation with the manure and turn it two or three times. After steaming has died down, cover with two inches of straw and then place in it six inches of good rich soil into which the seeds are planted. An improvement is the steam or hot-water heated bed in which the pipes are placed six to eight inches below the soil level. The newest and | probably the best for the average gardener is the electric hotbed. It i Desled by wires buried in the soil, Legion Hall (Continued from Page 4) troduced him to the gathering. He expressed the view that Whitby, being the capital of the county, should give us County Canadian Club, an organization to which the Premier himself had given much, He praised the wonderful leadership which had been forthcoming and so freely demonstrated in the erection of the Legion Hall. "There are many activities yet to be carried on, much more to do, but it is go- ing to be done, for the spirit is here," Mr. Moore declared. "What can I say to introduce the Premier of Ontario?" Mr. Moore asked, an- swering the question with the declaration that the best he could say of him was that he needed no introduction. "While we cannot tell him that we will give undivided support at the polls we can assure him of our universal respect," Mr. Moore concluded. Praises Spirit of the Pioneers Premier Frost said that all his life he had been closely associated with Ontario county. The history of this county, he said, was the history of the early pioneers who, while endur- ing great hardships, accomplished so much and handed down to us a rich heritage. The spirit of these men and women was akin to those interested in the Legion today, and also the spirit of the brave men and women whose memory the hall would ever keep green, The Premier sald that he was not surprised that the people of Whitby could erect this hall when he realized the his- torical background of the people of the town and county. Premier Frost paid tribute to those who came to Canada and this part of the country in 1784 with Benjamin Wilson -- to a country in line with their political views, to throw in their lot with the British partnership, and with a desire to make Canada a country in line with their thinking. "Your mem- bers are all descendants of those who did things with such great courage, from moral, religious, edu- cational and other points of view, Premier Frost declared. "It was a great heritage which they handed down to us, and this is an important event in Whitby's history because this building has been erected by many sacrifices of many people," he added. : Recalling that when the men re- turned. from the first war in 1919 they thought it was to enjoy lasting peace and happiness, but it was to prove otherwise, another war follow- ing in later years. "We have been engaged in a great battle ever since then for the preservation of our way of life. It has been a very tough period but a very important one as well," he said, These were challenging days, although those who by their bravery and devotion had not benefitted thereby. "Spir- itually, they will never be detached from the empire," he said. In closing the Premier had a special word for the young veterans. There were great things for them to do and important tasks for them to perform, and so much to accom- plish- in Ontario and the Dominion with their great possibilities. Their reward 30 years from now will be to look back and see the magnificence of Canada to which they have made a contribution, Premier Frost then declared the building open for the benefit of branch members and those who will follow them. He said that he open- ed it with the certainty that the spirit which had inspired its build- ers would be carried on into future generations with the same spirit of sacrifice and devotion. Bring Greetings Greetings were brought by Mayor Harry Jermyn from the Town of Whitby; Thomas Thomas, M.P.P., for the riding and the province, and Reeve Noble, of East Whitby, from the County of Ontario, on behalf of the County, and from T. A. M. Hulse of the Provincial Legion Command, "It is a fitting emblem, to show that those who paid the supreme sacrifice during the world wars have not been, or ever will be, for- gotten," said Mayor Jermyn, "It is also a symbol of comradeship to every returned serviceman. Here he can come freely and be among friends. Here if help is needed it can be found with certa.nty. In this work, and a worthy work it is, Branch 112 does a commendable job and is an invaluable assistance to the municipality. Not nly is this hall a memBrial to the fallen and a symbol of comradeship to the returned man, but it is a building that the Town of Whitby may well be proud of. It fills a needed service to the community by supplying a splendid public auditorium. No words of mine can adequately con- gratulate Branch 112 of the Cana- dian Legion in its splendid work." Most appropriate and greatly ap- preciated vocal numbers were given by Miss Joan Wilson and Mr. Frank Rosettani, with Mrs, Spratt at the piano. Later in the evening citizens were given a chance to tour the building, and refreshments were served by the Ladies' Auxiliary with the as- sistance of branch members, CHAIN OF OFFICE Toronto, March 4--(CP)--For the second time in Toronto's history, its mayor will wear a chain of of- fice when City Council meets next Monday. The chain is being pres- ented to Mayor Hiram McCallum by 19 Toronto firms of 100 or more years standing to mark their ap- preciation of "honest civic govern- ment." Monday marks the city's 116th anniversary. Mayor William Robbins was the other chain-of- office wearer when he attended the coronation of King ed VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. Durham Member Describes Work Of Federal M.P. MRS. B. OKE Correspondent Ebenezer-Courtice, March 3-- Sunday School No. 4 Farm Forum were guests of the Hampton Forum on Monday night, when the guest speaker was John James, M.P. Ac- cording to Mr. James, life as a member of the House of Commons is a full, interesting and satisfying one. Meeting people from the vari- ous parts of the great dominion impresses one with the different problems facing each section. Mr. James account of the daily routine of an M.P. proved very interesting to all. A large share of a member's time must be devoted to reading to keep up to date with the doings of the House. The daily study and digesting of Mansard alone requires rapid and comprehensive reading. Mr. James said that the govern- ment, composed largely of farmers, realizes the importance of agricul- ture in the economic structure of Canada and will continue its sup- port of farm prices as long as ne- cessary. Any government action in Canada is the result of careful con- sideration of the problem. When mistakes are made, advice of the electors is appzeciated. Many interesting facts about the Parliament Buildings were told by the speaker who oifered to act as guide if any should visit Ottawa. Mr. James is convinced that Canada has the best government of any country in the world and all agreed whole-heartedly. After the speech pictures of Hampton and No. 4 Forums were taken. Delicious refreshments were served by Hamp- ton ladies. All felt it had been a very enjoyable and profitable eve- ning, one of the highlights of this Forum season. Next meeting at the Walter Rundle home on March 6th. A great many couples from Cour- tice Country Couples Doubles were in attendance at Newcastle when Newcastle Club entertained the various clubs in the surrounding district. To say all had an enjoy- able time is putting it mildly, as they are very enthused with the evening's entertainment. Some fine numbers on the piano accordion were contributed by Mr. McGuert, from this club Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Barber were recent guests with the latter's mother, Mrs. 8S. McKee, South Nestleton, when the latter returned home with her daughter for a visit. Mrs, C. Brackenbridge, Westwood, has been a recent guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Russel De Coe. : The Young People's Union held their meeting on Monday night at Ebenezer with a very good attend- ance. ' Mr. and Mrs. Norman Down and Mr. and Mrs. Ross Pearce have returned from Florida, after a pleasant holiday.
