Peter H. Bennett. administrative director for the Van- couver Festival Society, played his role of a.smiling ambassador with fin- esse when he spoke to the Canadian Club.on the subject here Wednesday night, - ot Should the festival bear good fruit, Mr.. Bennett is right when he says that it will put Vancouver on the map geo- graphically so far as the rest of Can- ada.and the world is concerned and it will bring more money into British Columbia. That it is part of the prov- ince’s Centennial celebrations means that Vancouver’s contribution will be seen and heard by a far greater inter- national audience. : _ Apart from the materialistic view- point we agree with Mr. Bennett that the festival will provide British Co- lumbians from every corner of the province with an opportunity to see and hear world famous artists and en- joy entertainment of a type and stan- dard seldom presented within our reach before. Also benefitting will be oO will have some of these in- nally-known artists at their Without interfering with our own Prince Rupert Centenniai Potlatch be- tween July 25 and August 2, resi- dents here will be able to attend some of the top calibre presentations either before or after our own celebrations. The Vancouver Festival starts on July 19 and ends August 16. Prince Rupert residents can see suth artists as Glenn Gould, Lois Marshall, Pierette Alarie and Leopold Simoneau, Ingrid Bjoner and Aksel Schiotz any time after August 6. The grand opera Don Gio- vani is being repeated from August 5 | bn and the national dancers of Ceylon do not make their appearance until August 12. Jazz lovers can catch the Dizzy Gillespie quintet on August 4 and the Oscar Peterson trio on August 8. Prince Rupert residents who are in or near Vancouver after August 2, should not pass up some of the per- formances of B.C.’s major contribu- tion to Canada’s cultural life. The immensity of the festival does credit both to Vancouver and British Colum- bia. A total of 400 actors, musicians and dancers, will perform in three theatres, two auditoriums and a ball-- room in what is billed as the greatest feat of entertainment attempted in Canada. What the Stratford Shake- sperean Festival has done for Ontario, the Vancouver venture can do for British Columbia. It would be a shame not to be in on the start of it. He plays like a pro ON CE upon a time Canada was con- sidered a country that was cool towards golfers, who played for a few months and then spent' the winter waiting for the snow to melt.. But since Stan Leonard, Al ‘Balding, Jerry McGee and other Canadians decided to try the U.S. tournament circuit, they have brought new prestige to the game in Canada. Stan Leonard has ~...N0w won one of the richest golfing prizes of them all—the Las Vegas ..Dournament of Champions, in which » first. money-is $10,000, “ [don’t think I ever played better.” That’s how Mr. Leonard expressed himself to The Telegram’s Stan Hous- ton after thé Las Vegas tournament, Competitive golf. such as a player en- Si .equal his game. counters in such a tournament leaves little margin short of perfection in which to win or lose.

Some of them are good play- ers, most of them may qualify as duf- fers, but all of them take pride in the proof that a champion from Canada is out in front of the best line-up of golf- ers in the world—on the day when his game is flawless.

He plunged for cover behind a log. The war had taught him to move first and figure it later. Soon he heard a crackle of steps in the brush, and felt rage boiling inside him as he stared,into a puzzled, familiar face. He remembered that face under a steel helmet. “You're just the kind of slob who would shoot without - looking, aren’t you?” he said coldly. “Don’t you know the diff- erence between a man and a deer? You were a fool in the army and you haven’t learned any sense yet.” You don’t even deserve to be alive.” , “I’m sorry, Jim,’ the man stuttered. “The . my eyes.” “Sorry?

Only half aware of what he was . doing, like a practised driver changing gears on a hill, he swung the rifle and fired. The bullet caught his old comrade on top of ‘the head. . a ’ : - . The hunter felt a twinge of distaste in his stomach as he looked down. But he had no regrets, He walked into the village and reported a fatal accident. The coroner’s jury believed him, although some people wondered why such a careful man had forgotten his discipline of safety. ° _, He kept the secret for therrest of his-life. But“he wrote a letter confessing what he had done, and hid it in place where it was found after he died. : Police still don’t know. One of the few men who read the confession, the one-time president of a fish and game club in the Fraser Valley, told me. about it, for a reason. . “Some of the so-called hunting accidents are not accidents at all, but murder,” he said. “Every hunting accident should be treated as a criminal offence. It might be ordinary carelessness, or it might be murder, with no evidence. I’d like to see them lay a charge pretty well every He went on to narrate how,another man had “accidentally” shot a companion to death in the woods—and a few months later, married the widow. In a third case, a man who was known to ba sweet on a felow-townsman’s wife went duck-hunting with the unsuspect- ing husband. Leaving the husband in the duck-blind, he set off through the reeds and tall grass, announcing that he was going to raise some Gucks that he thought to be sitting in a nearby stretch of marsh. Unknown to him, a third man had joined this companion in the duck-blind. He was a doctor of the town, a shrewd sus- ous observer of people. He had been keeping an eye on this affair. “T think your frlend is coming back this way,” he whispered to the man in the duck-blind. Without further explanation, he whipped off his comnanton’s hat and lifted it on the barrel of his gun. A gun roared, and the hat went spinning. It was riddled with shot. The two men jumped from the blind and grabbed the would-be killer, who had deliberately fired from close quar- ters to blast his victim's head off, “We'll give you 24 hours to'pack up and get out of town,” the doctor said. This was at the beginning of the 1914-18 war.
