Festival Year Music In Recital Arranged By Local Organists The Oshawa and District Centre of the Canadian College of Organ- ists has arranged a Festival of music to be performed in 8t. George's Anglican Church 'on Monday evening next. Douglas Bos dle of Eglinton United Church will be the guest recitalist and will be assisted by a choir of local singers under the direction of George Rap- In this the festival year of Great Britain, it_is most fitting that mu- sical organisations should turn their attentions to the performance of ks by British composers. The on 's to be sung by the choir range from the early Tudor school of composers to the music of Elgar and Holst, both of whom died with- in a few months of each other in 1934. The programme contains exam- ples of the wor of 'Orlando Gib-| bons and Richard Farrant, the for- mer organist at Westminster Abbey during Elizabeth's - reign. Henry Purcell, also an organist in the Abbey during the reign of Charles II, is represented by "Rejoice in the Lord Alway." This has been nicknamed the "Bell Anthem" since its introduction is derived from the notes played by the chimes of West- minster Abbey. It has been said that the "Merrie Monarch" loved a tune that would enable him to tap his foot in rhythm. Surely in this anthem Purcell has fulfilled the royal request since the rhythm is that of a sarabande, which was danced at the English court of that Ye 'Three anthems to be sung have been linked with occasions of roy- al significance, "Blessed Be the God and Father" by Samuel Sebastian Wesley was sung at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. Parry's anthem "I Was Glad" has been part of the corona- tion ceremony of our present King, as well as that of King George V, while the Te Deum, in the setting by Sir C. V. Stanford was com- missioned for ile coronation of Ed- cial Notices Marri $1.00 Engagement Announcements $1.00 Wedding Pictures $2.00 ENGAGEMENT Mr. and -Mrs. Roy Gallagher announce the engagement of their daughter, Dolores, to Russell Keeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Keeler, all of Oshawa.

Renfrew (CP) -- Rehabilitation nursing will get what is believed \its first test in Canada next year at Victoria hospital. Dr. W. A. Brown, chairman of the hospital's board of governors, has announced. that a grant from the Atkinson Charitable Foundation will make the pilot project possible. The program will be in Charge of | Mrs. Grace Huggins, first Cana- {dian nurse to take a post-grad- [uate course jh rehabilitation nurs- |ing when Bellevue hospital at New | York offered such training last year. 5 Funds from the grant will be used to train selected graduate nurses in the principles of rehabili- tation nursing. Field for their work will be the separate 'annex which this hospital has set up for croni- cally ill patients. The fundamental of rehabilitation nursing is to consider the patient as a complefe person, not just his particular illness; to measure his potential for self - help and use- fulness and to direct him toward fullest possible use of the many abilities not shut off by his ail- ment. amples by Elgar and Gustfy Holst, will round out a programme of choral brilliance to which the mu- sical public is cordially invited. the College's Restoration 'Fund in The offering will be forwarded to| behalf of the organ for Coventry Calhiedral -- & fund which College College members hope to be completed this Teaching in England Feature of Address At Cedar Dale H & S The members of the Cedar Dale Home and School Association en- joyed a delightful and unusual pro- gram on Monday evening, when they welcomed back a former teacher, Miss Francis McLeod, who has been on exchange in Great Britain for the past year, gave a travelogue on her work as a teacher in Nelson, Lancashire, and her trips through different sec- tions of Europe. Miss McLeod displayed a pair of Lancashire clogs, worn by certain types of workers in the industrial sections. She stated that although the clogs looked cumbersome it was understood that the people who wore them: had the healthiest feet-in-the world. She spent a year teaching in a school for infants in the town of Nelson, in Lancashire and found the children to be quite healthy and average. In her school the children started at the age of four and all were well dressed and enthusiastic about their school work, British children get one half pint 8f milk, cod liver oil and orange juice until their fifth birth- day, she said. This is paid for by the Government and meals are provided at the schools for a nom- inal sum as the mothers work in the cotton mills, Speaking of the Home and School work in Great Britain, called Parent-Teacher Association, Miss McLeod said she felt this was not nearly as well organized as in Canada. She told of attending a conference in London where there were representatives from all parts of the Commonwealth and were addressed by Sir Graham: Savage, head of the London Educa- tion committee, who had spent two years in Canada, one teaching at Upper Canada College in Toron- to and one in the narthern part of Ontario. He spoke highly of the Canadian educational system. Miss McLeod described her vis- it to London and the various his- torical spots visited, mentioning in particular the Tower of London where she witnessed the seven- year-old Ceremony of the Keys. She also told of visiting Oxford, a Ses of learning in England since Mrs. Elmer Lesenko, citizen- ship convener, was in charge of the meeting and introduced Mrs. Sidney Boneham, who played as piano solos, "The Tennessee Waltz," "The Sweetheart of Sig- ma Chi" and "Dreams." Mr. Ben- ny Lesenko played the following harmonica numbers, "Ladies of 'The Desert Song." . Herbert Mackie expressed the thanks of the association to Miss McLeod, Mrs. Boneham 'and Mr. Lesenko. The president, Mrs. J. N. Ba- dour, presided for the business session, and thanked those who assisted in making the annual Hallowe'en party a success. Let- ters of appreciation were read from the pupils of the school for the party by the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Fred Britten, The nts' attendance toff's Grade 2 with fifteen moth- ers and fathers present.

It was also announced the as- sociation would hold a Home Cook- ing, Candy Sale and Tea on Wed- nesday afternoon, November 21. Mrs. Robert Shorten and Mrs. Jack Flintoff will be the conveners. On behalf of the Home and School Association Mrs, J. N. Badour presented Mrs. Herbert Mackey, who is leaving the community with a cup and saucer, and expressed regret at losing the Mackie family from the community. Refreshments were served by the mothers of the pupils of Grade 6, under the convenership of Mrs. James White, and Mrs. Alfred ones. Paris Haute Couture Having Hard Time To Meet High Costs Paris (AP) -- In spite of crowd- ed salons and busy workrooms at the half-dozen top Paris fashion houses this season, the French fashion industry is wobbly. The dressmakers' syndicate has asked the gdvernment for a sub- stantial subsidy to help cover ex- penses of putting on seasonal col- lections. : Fashion circles confirm the in- dustry is having a hard struggle. A few of the bigger houses are getting a lion's share of the busi- ness. Few women who go to see a collection actually buy. : The fashion syndicate offers this explanation of what makes the simplest street dress cost = at least 80,000 francs (about $225): Taxes $44; cost of labor $43; so- cial security for labor $18; sales- woman's commission $12. Out of the $108 left must come the cost of material and trimmings and the expenses of the collection be- fore the dressmaker sees a profit. The syndicate has also asked for reduction of taxes .on- their 'sales. But present prices will not .go down. The dressmakers claim they will only be spared some of the large losses they regularly suffer on models especially made"for col- lections and never sold. They are made for mannequins whose figures are far from standard: "The only hope for lower prices," says a syndicate spokesman, "is that the dressmakers themselves will cut production costs by inter- nal economies and reorganization. The solution is fewer fittings, less detailed work and more efficient planning.' In effect, the "boutique" -- or semiready - to - wear -- depart- ments which nearly all fashion houses have started are already do- ing just this, The prices are less aid ve 90 Maes amie . visitors to and from the city are app! by the Social De t.'

Scintillating Music Infectious Gaiety Wed in 'Fledermaus' By JO ALDWINCKLE High-brow, low-brow and in- between-brow had a wonderful time at the Royal Alexandra Theatre on Monday night for the opening performance of the comic opera "Fledermaus." For the first there were the richly pro- duced voices of 'Metropolitan' Virginia Mac Watters, Brenda Lewis, Donald Dame, Vera Bryner and William Horne and the wealth of music in an all-singing cast with the iridescent score of Johann Strauss II. The low-brow was happy be- cause he found that for all its Ger- man name 'Fledermaus' was sung in English, and that Garson Kanin's new text was pithy enough for a successful Broadway musical comedy, and for the in-between, there was the heady combination of words, music, dancing, cos- tumes and scenery portraying a carefree age, vanished like dew in the heat of the rising sun. Throughout the three long acts there was an effortless spontaneity that flowed like freshly uncorked champagne, dissipating any thoughts of the physical and men- tal demands of the roles being enacted. This is the enchantment of Fledermaus, and why succeed- ing generations have found it de- lightful for 77 years, whether it be known as Night Birds, Champagne Sec, The Bat .or Gay Rosalinda. Die Fledermaus opened in Vi- enna April 5, 1874, to a half-filled house. After a short run it travel- led to Berlin, where it burst into bloom and became the rage of the season. It has never really faded. From the symphonic overture one 'number of matchless charm and gaiety follows another. It would be impossible to enumerate the sparkling arias, duets and trios that make up the first act io in Madam Eisenstein's bou- oir, The flirtatious gaiety of the ball- room scene of Act II is held sus- pended while ballet dancers enter- tain the revellers, who as the scene climaxes are swept into a swirling "grand valse." Prince Orlovsky, the host, has brought about this reckless state of affairs by his song '"'Chacun a son gout' sung last night with distinction py Vera sr, yo scored this part for a mezzo-soprano because he wanted an agile voice, Casting a man's role for a woman is a distraction, but the musical fabric would be so much damaged by revising the lyrics for a male voice, that no change has ever been made. This summer the part was played in Toronto, by James MacColl who in- terpre the character without at- tempting to sing the songs, but rather, stylizing' them, a successful Jepareuss, but some fine music was ost . Unforgettable in this act Adele's Laughing Song, sung by Virginia MacWatters and the czardas sung by Rosalinda (Bren- da Lewis) posing as an Hungarian countess. « : The mixed identities - are all satisfactorily straightened out in the third act in which Frosch, the Jailer, makes a star for himself by his portrayal of the tipsy turnkey. Jack Gilford makes the part ex- cruciatingly funny with 'his sad ex- pression and befuddled actions. Others who added lustre to this galaxy were John Tyers, the im. maculate Dr, Falke; Kenneth Schon, the warden; Howard Jar- ratt, Eisenstein's lawyer; Tatiana Granzeva, the ballerina and her partner Polajenko. In his recent book on the life of the Strauss family ' Jerome Pastene writes: "The appeal of Die Fledermaus is immediate, It sweeps us to the heights of de. light which no other comic opera has 'ever reached. It offers no riddles, but flows steadily along on a succession of exquisite tunes which well up, one after the other. It is the crowning jewel in the Gol- den Age of Light Opera® It is sald that Brahms, a close friend of Strauss in later life, likened much of the music to the work of Mozart, and author Pas- is LILLIAN MAE MARSH SCHOOL OF DANCING Saturdays: m © Character Masonic Temple Wednesdoys: TO WOMEN ~ Golden Jubilee Chapt. | Holds Brisk Meeting Mrs. R.

She trained with Prunella Stack, Peggy and Joan St. Lo and Marjorie Dun-' combe, and has taught in London, Yorkshire and Wales. Lately she has been the teacher for her home area of Southampton, Winchester and Portsmouth. The benefits of the system have long been recog- nized in Britain by the Ministry of Health and the medical profession, and Oshawa is lucky that Miss Downer has decided to give one day of her busy week to the classes here. In® 1939 she was a member of the British team that took part in the Lingiad of Stockholm, Sweden, and she visited that country again 1949.
