From a small beginning in 1944 this annual Festival has grown in importance and in atrength. Dozens of successful mus- icians have had an encouraging start at one of these music festi- vals, "But", says Festival Chairman Stanley A. Bacon, "the most impor- tant thing gained by-these young- sters is the spirit of self criticism, of good sportsmanship, plus the training they receive in presenting their talent before adjudicators and an audience." Ev performances will be held nightly at Eaton Auditorium, where the days' winners again are judged one against the other. Adjudicators for the entire Festival will be John Clements, England; Albert Howe, England; Martin Boundy, Canada; William Glock, England; Gordon Thorne, England; Cyril Hampshire, Canada; Oakley Yates, Buffalo. At the conclusion of the Festival, say Kiwanis officials, two grand final concerts will be held in Mas- sey Hall. The nine Kiwanis Clubs of Greater Toronto all participate in this annua] event. : WOMAN DIES AT 109 Paducah, Ky.

They wanted to mark cupid's day by witnessing an ice carnival and they did--one of the best spec- tacles of its kind to be presented in Southern Ontario this year and the first to be stagea Lx Port Perry in some 10 years. It was a star- studded show, brimful with youth- ful enthusiasm. The newly erected Memorial Gard- ens, beautifully Gecorated, was virt- ually hopping with activity for over three hours, and judging by the skating artistry performed, by the village youngsters themselves, there may well be a future "Barbara | Anne Scott" whose home will be Port Perry. | Star Skater Comes Home | About ten years ago, at one of Port Perry's last carnival, a timid four-year-old littie girl appeared on the program. For her, it was a new experience--her first time to skate before an audience. Last night she came back to the village as a grown and pretty young lady. She was Medalist, the highest -award th { Canadian Figure Skating Association | offers, and a star of her home club, | the Toronto Granite Club. | Wanda was the star of the show | Wanda Beasley, a Canadian Gold | ice, blended with her smooth art- | istry, won the applause of ihe aud- | ience over and oyer again. She per-| formed with aplomb and polish, rol- | lowing her performance she was] presented with a bouquet of flowers | by Joanne Buller. | The male star of the show was| Charles Snelling, runner-up Junior Men's Canadian Champion at the Canadian Figure Skating Champion- ship trials which were conducted in Vancouver last weekend. Termed the 'Gentleman of Distinction" on the ice, Snelling showed smooth | masculine grace in a solo specialty. | He is also a member of Toronto's Granite Club. On the comic side Bill Hoag and Jack Hillier gave the audience a laugh every few minutes with their difficult capers on the ice. Their | rendition of "Paddling Madelaine | Home" at the end of their perform- | ance was one of the highlights of | the carnival, They are just about tops in the realm of amateur' ice comedy. They are from the Brant- ford Skating Club. Brilliant Pair Display Anne Neilson and Harvey Pass- field, who only recently skated be- fore a U.S. television network cam- era, their brilliant skating. They made one "slip" but their recovery was as graceful as their performance. The skating of Eleanor Smith, Reg Hughes and Marion Mark, as "Two Gals and a Guy" was another high spot of the show, The fast- moving trio are from the Silver Blades, Toronto Skating Club. Miss Mark is a busy Figure Skating teach- er at many skating clubs in Toron- to, and is the professional for the newly formed Port Perry Community Skating Club. They glided across the ice in fine precisioh, The management brought to Port Perry also last night, at great ex- pense, and in a guarded, sealed car, all the way from a box in Phil Harris' backyard in Encino, Cali- fornia, "The Thing." Beautiful Roslyn McLeary, former'y with the Shipstad and Johnston Show, the "Ice Follies," portrayed expertly the part of "The Thing." She dippsy- doodled across the ice with « large clownish box on her shoulders much to the delight of the spectators, espeically the kiddies. She is a great performer on blades. Pupils Win Applause 'The opening number of the show was "The Maypole Dance" produc~ ed by members of the faculty, and presented by the pupils of Port Perry ' Public School. They per- formed their stint well and receiv- ed loud applause. Under the direction of their in- structress, Miss Doris Lawrence, the Port Perry High School Cadettes, offered a pleasing performance with the use of flashlights in a darkened arena, They all glided across the ice in fine precision. y "The Leaside Lions Boy's Band", which has pleased thousands in Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, and Madison Square Gardens, New York, played stirring music throughout the evening. The band was under the capable direction of Gordon Har- riett, Hundreds of Port Perry and dis- trict children and adults turned up in costume attire. There were In- dians, Cowboys, Clowns, Snowmen, Drum Majorettes, Monkey's Horses, a little girl with a live goose, and many others. Judging of the cos- tumes was difficult they were all so good.
