I DAVID ATKINSON.

Outstanding Young Artist

Hos An-Island

The Canadian baritone, David Atkinson, has been chosen for a leading role in the forthcoming Richard Rodgers and Oscar Ham- merstein II production of Car- rousel at the Brussels Internal- tional Exposition in Belgium.

Mr. and Mrs. Burke have just left by air for Brussels in Bel- gium where he will star in “Car- muse " in a few days time. Mr. Burke’s full name is David Burke Atkinson after his father who was a Prince Edward Islander.

Latest press release reports »ﬂ1at Canada will not have official artistic representation at the In- ternational Exposition in Brussels. This is offset, however, by the selection of David Atkinson of Montreal for the leading role in’ Americas outstanding musical production “Carrou.sel."

Competition for the leading parts was never keener than be- hind the scenes or in the “cou- lissses” as they say in French, and it is only fair to Atkinson to state that this wonderful young artist won his place hands down and in easy fashion from among many dozens of other aspiring songsters.

mother’s knee as she did and her mother did in turn so it seems quite a family trait seeing that his uncle Edmund Burke, Cana- da’s outstanding operatic singer in the early days of the present century, came up in similar fash- ion to be acclaimed at the Royal Coveut ‘Gordon Opera in London, th:e.Royal Opera at the Hague in Holland, the Metropolitan in New York and then with tum-ultuous emtII1-usiasm in Australia with that worldwide celebrity Dame Nellie Melba.

The apparent flair for languag- es runs in Atldnson’s family for his uncle, Edmund Burke, is flu- ent in French, Italian and Ger- man whilc Mrs. Edmund Burke speaks, as she modestly declares “only seven of. them.”

Davdd"Atkrlnson was educated at Bisl1op’s College School in Len- noxvllle, Que. and McGill, he then entered the service of the Bank of Montreal but music apparently called him for, being awarded a musical scholarship by the Que- bec Educational Department he enrolled with the Juillard School which he appeared in several of the big hits and also did a great

_WE AND ouiz NEIGHBORS,

”The Darling

Buds Of Moy”

, Should Not Be Hurried

By Euhamah s. Frank

Just because it's, May must it necessarily bevwarm and sunny? Year after year we have found that summer comes slowly and late to the Island yet we reject each chill‘ day as if it were a deliberate disloyalty and we try to hurry the season by sheer will power.

Personally I love the gradual approach of the heart of our spring and summer. Too soon the lilacs will be in bloom lingering scarcely long enough for us to savor their full beauty. Small young leaves are now soft star- flowers and the witchery of bird- song will never be equalled. And even if we were not so royally rewarded for waiting, can any ex- ‘Sept the Very young afford to push time ahead?

' , Like every male member of his family — and this includes his twin brothers and all his uncles on both sides —— Atkinson was a chorister in Bishop's C o l I e g e School choir and later in Saint George's Church in Montreal. Strikzingly handsome and standing six feet four inches this young Canadian finds it some- what difficult to escape observa- tion whenever and wherever he appears in public, and incidental- ly while flying the Pacific during World War II in a bomber he soon discovered that leg-room was always a questionable com- modity. ‘ David Atldnso_n’s wile, born in H0l1011.ﬂ'll. besides being a M'.A.‘ and Ph. D. of Columbia Univer- sity, is somewhat of a linguist for she is ﬂuent in four tongues and for this she was chosen as one of the interpreters and trans- lators with the General Assem- bly of the United Nation-s — a truly remarkable feat in itself for such a very young woman. On returning from the Brussels Exposition Atkinson and his beau- tiful young wife will, in all prob- ability, visit the Island where they will be the guests of his un-

ELLEN’S DIARY

The best -of the springtime -- when is it? We considered the question with a pair of visitors this evening — folks who had come by on an errand. .

“No, we’re not staying. Can’t. You know. Got to get away home and to bed to be up in good time in the morning for the planting.”

“Springs near its best now” he offered . “When the fields are in first green and the trees are com- ing into leaf -and everyone’s into the cropping, that’s the time of it I like." .

“I think I like it best" James chuckled “back when I hear the first crow call! No, not really” he amended “for I enjoy all of it. Yes, it’s all good.” _

“It’s best” she smiled “when everything is in order, the house- cleaning done, the yards tidy, the garden and crap about in. Then” {she said, “I can draw a long ‘breath and really look albout.’

“Isn't it best in the blossom- time?” we suggested. “When ev- ery orchard tree and wild-in-g is in bloom, wild cherry, apple and rowan. And the lila-cs have come. The only regret then isthat it’s about over, and again months at-

“There's this to it" she com- mented with a little smile. “I’m never ready to die in the spring- time! I can reconcile myself to it in some of the other seasons. But dear me there’s too much that’s lovely of earth to leave he- hind then.” . “Too much unfinished business” her husband said with a teasing

chuckle.

Life was in the grain droplwd -to the red of Island-fields today, and the farmers’ slogan followed on every hand seemed to be “Make haste now. . sow‘ and plant!” .~
