Note-Would all males post scores. to- A I I3 4; I I TO 10 1'” our I the question is often raised

"What are Music Festivals?" and ”What are their objectives?" These questions seem to me to be ably answered by the president of the Canadian Federation of Music Festivals in his 1954 annual re- port: I quote-

Competitions in music have been

going on for a long time. The modern Festival is dated from 1905 when n Miss Wakefield of Kendal. Westmorland, England, held a competitive festival and formed an Association of Festival Competitions from which the pres- ent British Federation emerged in 1921. However. competitions had been held during the lath century and you may be interested in the fol- lowing quotation from The Oxford Companion, giving the syllabus for n competition held in October. 178.1. complete with rules covering time. place. test pieces. ad- indicators and entry fee:

"Singing on Monday. Nov. 10th at Coward Fricker's, in the Bell Inn. Corshnm, by three or more companies of singers. each Com- pany to sing two 3-voice songs, two 2-voice songs and two catches; The best singers to have two guineas, the second best. one guinea, and the third hnlf-a- guinea. Proper umpires to be chosen by the companies. The music to be delivered to the um- pires before singing; To dine precisely at one o'clock. is. ad. No company to sing unless they dine."

The rules, by their nature. have to deal with the , ' -vc ele- ments. but the "Festival" side is the one of ultimate importance. The word implies reiolcing and thanksgiving and was originally religio s in character. What are Festivals now?

We know that they give opport- unities to perform good music, to have it oompetontly Judged. to perpetuate traditions and to main- tain -t J ds. and that they give these opportunities to thousands

who, in many cases. have no other i

outlet of expression. it is prim- arily a grassroots activity. even if urban. A few competitors go on to higher levels, but many do not and are. no doubt aware they will not before they enter.

I think all those charged with operating festivals must be stir- red by lhis grant unsolicited re- sponse to the challenge of n Festi- vsl. We prepare our syllabus. es- tablish n date for receiving entries and than sit back. Quite often we are swamped by the deluge of entrants. and find our programs crowded and our adiudicators overworked by the necessiy of dealing with greater numbers than we had anticipated.

This is a stirring experience and

Fire Losses iMuch Lower

That the fire loss for the City during 1954 over 316.000 was shown in the annual report of Fire Chief H. H. Jewell, submitted to the City Council last night. Chiet Jewell said that this was the lowest in the City for some time.

The Fire Department respond- ed to 174 calls, 22 more than last year. Of the total, 17 were out- side the City. The average at- tendance of members of the Fire Department during the year was 3795.. The fires during the past year were not of a serious nat- ure and consisted to a large ex- tent of fine fires, grass, cars or trucks on the street, overheated stoves: sparks on the roof and electric wiring.

No Intention Of Resigning

OTTAWA. (CPt--M. J. Coldweli said today he is not planning to retire as national CCF leader.

"I have no intention of resign- ing," he said in an interview fol- lowing publication of newspaper reports that his retirement may be hastened by recent differences of views within the party.

Sharply diverging views be- tween Mr. Coldweli and a major- ity of his Commons followers over the issue of German rearmament became evident late last month during Commons debate on rati- fication of the Paris agreement for the entry of a rearmed Ger- many into NATO.

Mr. Coldweli and four other CCF members voted for it, against the declared policy of the last CCF convention and a pre- debate meeting of the party's na- tional council.

Twelve of the 24-man CCF group opposed ratification. Six abstained from the vote. One was away from Ottawa.

VOTE CONFIDENCE

Subsequent to that vote. it was .

learned today. s caucus of the CCF Commons membership un- animously adopted a vote of con- fidence in Mr. Caldwell and ex- pressed hope he will continue as national head of the party as long as his health permits.

The 66-year-old leader has been in indifferent health for some time.

Mr. Coldweli said today no one has asked for his resignation. He said the national council-govern ing body of the CCF between bl- ennial conventions-has always been aware of his attitude on the German iearmament question.

"Of course." he said. "if the national council or a convention were to ask for my resignation. I should tender it immediately."
