A recent impressive example of this was given ,vhen he arrived from Europe for a concert in New York. Although a newspaper strike was on at the time and publicity therefore limited, the concert hall was packed. So enthusiastic 'was the reception that, despite the fact that newspaper critics had no way of spreading a cheer, Time magazine picked up the story anyhow. It ran a full column to describe the harpist's success and his musical career. In doing so, it cleared up one point, which, since probably few of us know much about harp music, may le of interest. Time said: "Instead of misty sound effects and undulating glissandos that have become a trademark of harp performances, ho played a clear-cut melody and counterpoint." Prom this we can see that tomorrow's audience will not he required to sit through an evening of gentle strumming but will hear music which promises to create lively enjoyment.

Last September, nine men adrift on a Canadian barge in Lake Superior were rescued by Coast Guards. In the Maplecove affair qtf some months preyious two U.S. Coast Guard vessels stood by. Canadian gratitude in such matters should be tinged with embarrassment. Establish-' ment of a Coast Guard service has been urged upon the Dominion Government for years, but without result. I'acific waters are dangerous, and the H.C. Legislature Ia.".t October called upon Ottawa to set up a. Coast Guard service. Ottawa authorities, on the rare occasions when they comment, cite the various government and private craft theoretically available for rescue work, and it is a fact that the Navy, RCMP, Transport and Fisheries Departments have small craft at various points. But vague talk of "liaison" is no answer to the need for craft and personnel definitely on call, and capable at appropriate ports of aiding, large ships in trouble.
