The Dance had a representation from all cadet corps with the navy heing a bit more prominent (that‘s counting the stags).

Gocd Night. o9 sA > Timmins Hockey Player â€"â€"â€"~â€"MHot From Scottish Ice Pat Savard, Timmins hcckey playâ€" er, came home on Monday night after playing for the Dunfermline Vikingsâ€"his last gameâ€"last week in Scotlicnd. He played left wing for the first string with Nebby Thrasher at centre. â€" Scotch arenas are about the same size: as the‘ Mcintyre, Pat says, and they are packed for every‘> game which, in quahty, is comparable to ~‘"‘The people mcb the players for sutographs after every game," he remarked, "They ‘give us food and eggsâ€"eggs are hard to get over thereâ€"and they give us candy and parties " The Scotch are good They are really good to us.‘ Dc they cheer? "Cheer? The minute you touch that puck the crowd yells and screams. They really yell.. They don‘t like a loss and they don‘t like a tie. They root like blazes for the home town team." "And they hate referees," Pat went on, "no matter who he is or how good he is, they hate them all. They grab referees and punch them. Someâ€" times the referees are brought to the rink under police escort." Concerning the speed of the game in Scot‘and. Pat believes it is a little taster in Scotland "because are not allowed to body check in your balf of the rink." In Scotland the only other markedly difierent rule. stipulates that on emerging from the penalty box a player must skate behind his own bluc ne before entering the playâ€" but of course Pat wouldn‘t know much about that." _ and secured jobs at Pamour Mines. One Sunâ€" day they dropped in to see Mrs. Jeanne Larcher, 13 Borden ___ street, Timmins. j They wantéed to start a choir, Viadas said. Trieit voices were all right; but they hnad no of English and aid not know anyone. (Viadas and Algis Simavicius). The following Sunday Mrs. Larcher went to Pamour and found 30 Lithuanian boys living in the bunkhouse, heard them singâ€"very fine voicesâ€"and undertook to train them as a choir. f "You Go" She iedmed the language. On Sundays she went to the bunkhouse to practice with them. . O P h s h oi scfi oo in it SE MB "I am not going any more," she said to her husband after Christmas, "It is too much for me." ® "NMo," retorted‘ Mr. Larcher, "You go." / She went. Sometimes twice a week she journeyed to Pamour and practiced the Lithuaniah music, sent from a friend in Germany. It was in the bunkhouse, exactly 12 months ago, that the first concert, including 26 singers, was presented. w d 3 y k ue _ B A o# 0 0 evucgen uo T LE 2 ie M C mt Th Eo2 ie sn Qutside concerts followed. Some of the baysâ€"lawâ€" yers, dentists, now all minersâ€"had never been out of Pamour kefore. At the YMCA they sang for two hours on the evening of February 16, their hearts being in the clouds that night, for that is the anniversary of Lithuâ€" aina‘s independence on February 16, 1918). Trouble Brews A choir of 26 was found too hard to handle. It was cut to eight, the following: Tenors: Tony Patasius, Leo Valekevicius, Viadas Simanavicius, Maurice Murayskas; Baritones: Jonas Nesukaitis Paul Dambrauskas; Basses: Stanley Matutis, Algis Simanavicius. 4 The octette made its appearance at the music festival last May. . They sang in English. They had never sung in English before. They sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," and "I Hear a Voice in the Old Village Choir." ap oT C se o o 1 ho c A %2 _ Li P El BP a »ia 2 se 1 frrt hik, on dr ic cted ET Â¥ In June Jonas and Algis entered the music festival and won first prize. "Myself I did not sing very well," says Jonas, "there was anotherâ€"he sang better than me." Then Maurice underwent a serious stomach operation which impeded his singing. Leo broke his leg in the mine. Viadas and Aigis left for Toronto. h .t tm M SW PW O L CC Ipolalas Naras and A. Urbonas were chosen to replace the lastâ€"two mentioned. j ; ' From Germany Meanwhile the boys had been writing to friends in GermanAy about the choir they comprised in Canada. Their musical friends include the Sagevicius Troupe, a well known group of singers and dancers, whose conductor had furnished the Canadian choir with scores. io hnz U s t B 2 c S i Te Ni w o n C S i 4 m“v'fienoe it was that Miss Alexandra, one of the memâ€" bers of the Troupe, writes to Mrs. Larcher in Timmins, in part as follows: PC # a e L +« Dear Jeanne: _ _ _ : "_ .. it is so wonderful to read about your work with the choir. ‘Our conductor said you are very strong. . . "We are very busy now. For two weeks we have had a lot of troubles; till we get all our papers together. You do not know how many documents you must have if you went to U.S.A. ‘About hundreds of them! But with the nelp of God our troubles with documents are over. . ~"We do not know when we will leaveâ€"in 5, 10 or 14 days. But we are so happy about leaving Germany that it is hard to say how much “We will‘:get to Cleveland I hope some day soon, I will see you, "Please tell me how many concerts you nad with the choir? did you learn to know those boys? How did you. start with jyour choir? . . ." â€"_â€" This troupe of Lithuanian singers and dancers, The Ciurlionis, egcaped from Lithuania into the French zone of Germany, and has since arrived in Cleveland, Ohio, where its members work at various jobs, gut are all toâ€" gether and practicing together. Their conductor, Jonis Mikulskis, furnished Mrs. Larcher with Lithuanian music scores:â€" for the octet. ..‘ When the boys go to practice at the home of Mrs. Larcher, they drop their coats in the bedroom, put the baby to bed, snaffle a piece of cake, cookies, do the dishes, put them away, and sometimes gulp another piece of pie before gathering around a fine old Heintzman upright. Now; however, the octet is bereftiof another man, A. , N‘ow however, the octet is bereftiof another man, A. Urkdnas, its bass singer, who has left town; and Mrs. Lareher ext.remely busy with her family, Les Gais Lurons and the impending journey to Toronto, cannot possibly devote ‘herself to the octet any more. Mail and Opportunity The boys left Lithania one of them explamed on account of Russian conquest. They never recéive letters from home. They cannot write home. Why? Because they hear through the underground, "Do not write, do not write, if we are caught receiving letters from Canada, we may be sent to Jail." Here in Canada, one of them says, "the people ars good and the wages are good and there is more opporâ€" tunity."
