Pull programs for adjudication will be participated in by talent drawn not only from the city but various parts of the district. The entry list is larger than ever before and the items for presentation more varied the program being of such scale that it has been necessary to go beyond the confines of the Civic Centre to find venue. The Music and Drama Festival is, indeed, a splendid institution in the cultural and educational life of :he community. The widespread interest that is being taken in it speaks well for the progress of city and district along these very desirable lines. Festivals of this kind need not be regarded merely as competitions for a few people with special gifts. They should be thought of as a means of bringing to all our people the knowledge and understanding of music and the dramatic arts. Prince Rupert people will have the opportunity this week of learning more of. these arts by attending as many festival programs as possible. Organization of this event has entailed a great real of thought, effort and time by the committees ir charge, led by the president, Mrs. Earl Becker. They are to be commended for their good work and the part they are playing in developing a very important phase of good community life. The success they have attained should be gratifying to themselves as it should be appreciated by the community at large. some variety was added to the century ago, in June Robert corning world government, monu. j Dunsmuir and his wife.

Mrs. Johnson's is one of the 3,200,000 new bank accounts opened during the past ten years. Like most people nowadays, she relies on her bank to safeguard her money; she expects her bank book to show how she stands; she finds bank cheques convenient to pay larger bills. The chartered banks appreciate and depend on the confidence of depositors like Mrs. Johnson. For the money which Canadians keep in 8,000,000 bank accounts provides the basis for bank lending.
