lllliling Plano Recital "Given By Miss Ireland A A

The second in the current series of Prince of Wales College concerts was given in the College auditorium last night, the reciteilst being Miss Margaret Ann Ireland, brilliant young Cu '" pianist, who ' is a native of Winnipeg. .

only twenty-three years of age. Miss Ireland plays with ripe mat- urlty and with a grace and spon- taneity which made her extremely difficult programme seem easy of accomplishment. Certainly it was .1 most enjoyable and refreshing performance. judged from every :.tr-lndpoint.

A highlight in the programme

was her beautiful interpretation of the Sonata in 13 Fiat Minor. Op. 36, by Chopin. Divorced from its

setting, the Funeral March in this sonata is the most familiar of all compositions of its kind. but its pathos is tremendously enhanced by the contrast with the preced-

ing and final movements, and it is not surprising that this work has

held its own for more than a cen- tury with music lovers.

A perhaps still more difficult test of musicianship was Miss Ire- land's opening number. the Organ Prelude and Fugue in A Minor. by J. 5. Each. in which her keyboard mastery was shown in the noble polyphonic melodies.

This was followed by three short pieces by Brahms. listed merely as programme

lntermeszi in the 110088. New to the audience. and warm- lv received. was a eompositiun en- tltlecl Fantasy in D Minor. which the composer. Oskar now teaching in the Toronto Con- servatory. dedicated personally

Miss Ireland.

I-fer concluding numbers includ-

rd the Liebeatraum, by Lisllt, and lhree stimulating selections from

the work oi a contemporary Braz- ilian composer, Hector Villa-Iobos. she also responded graciously to

CIICOIES.

It is hoped that means will be found of bringing Miss Ireland here again in the near future, as she is undoubtedly on the eve of a car- outstandlng prominence

ear of among the world's gifted artists.

Close to 13.500 families with e total of over 34,000 children have received monthly benefits during the past year. During the month of December 34,195 children were granted allowances.

Overpayrnenta

Major Nicholson also referred to the recent press reports which stated that there were 342,882 un- collectavble ovenpaymenis in the Dominion and that 0401.174 in overpaymenfs had been made since 1945.

The total uncollcctable over- -payments in the Province amounts to 347. he stated. They comprise two accounts. one of 037 for forg- ery and enoilher of 810. Thus. he added speaks well for the effici- ency of the stslff.

Allowances are paid to children from the time of birth to sixteen years. The two primary qualific- ations for payment are mIinten- once of the children by parents and school attendance in accord- ance to Provincial regulations.

Monthly allowances paid during the past ten monllhs with the figures for the corresponding months in 1949 in brackets are as

DISAPEIHHTING

.LL......L...:L....L sive grain policy. is not attractive.

"with feed grains operating at a high level of cost there should be the utmost care in thesecuring of good seed if our farm producers are to become more or less self- sufficient and save large amounts of money through an increase in grain production per acre.

"Every seed plant operator or owner in the Province should im- mediately see to it that seed clean- ing equipment has the proper sieves and is acuusicd so that wee-3. seeds and poor grains are taken out in the grading process. I have seen some of these machines ill opera- tion and they were not being op- erated with properisieves. I have also seen good hand turned grad- ers that were equipped only for blowing chaff and straw out of the grain. Why not get the prclper sieves and do the job right?

Good seed Available

"There are quantities of good seed. grain available in this Prov- ince. Quotations cn No. 1 and No. 2 seed oats through a mainland brokerage firm indicate fairly stiff prices. namely over 35.00 per hun- dred pound sack. Commercial No. 1 and No. 2 seed barley is 32.56 per bushel with Registered Government No. 1 or No. 2 seed wheat 32.54 per bushel. Tlhese varieties do not in- elude some of the favcured varieties of barley and wheat grown here. These quotations are for carlcts.

"Good seed grain can be secured, however. in our own Province dir- ect from supplies at cheaper rates than this. The high prices quoted are due in part to the fact that Western seed cats is nct of good quality. and seed oats as a matter of fact is being shipped from Prince Edward Island to Western centers.

"Do not let your grains get away from you. Protect your own supplies adequately. From the some source we have the following quotation: on feed grains: No. 1. feed oats s3.3S per hundred pounds in bags. 2nds.: No. 3CW 83.60 per" 100 pounds: feed wheat 53.21; barleymeal 366.70 per ton. These are in carlots.

Local Quotation

"local quotations delivered Char- lottetown in bulk are as follows:

"No. 1 feed barley delivered bulk is quoted at 03.26 for middle of March to May delivery. For im- mediate delivery a premium above this rate would have to be charged. No. 1 feed cats is 53.12 bulk; No. 5 feed wheat 02.90. Millfeeds are ranging about the same level as last week and in comparison with whole grains are really cheaper. but nev- ertheless not cheap on the basis of their own analysis.

"Local grain is getting scarce and there seems to be a reluctance to quote. It is urged. however. that parties having grain for sale should get in touch with lccal centres of demand for use of this grain in our own Province rather than export. oiicake is almost..1.mpossibie to se- cure.

"Soybean meal is quoted at 9.10 in carlot. delivered, which almost places it beyond the realm of pract- icability in feeding.

"Flshmeal is almost impossible to secure and even molasses has taken a jump upward to we per gallon basis Montreal. Ontario corn is quoted at 91.47, bulk. delivered. Ull- der eonditlons of high feeding pro- ducers should be aware of any special ,mtixtures placed on the market unless they are accompan- ied with a proper statement of sources of origin. of feeds 1 'uded, and the digestibility of these feeds. At a time like this low grade mix- tures may very well be placed on the market under attractive n:unes and under special prices which may in the final analysis be ex- cep ionaily costly.

"The mlllfeed market is strong and in view of United States de- mand and the world wide political situation". and in view of an upward spiral in other products. I cannot see on immediate recession in can-. edlon prices."
