her impressions of that enjoyble event,
She especially took great pleasure and
pride in the performance of the pu-
pils from Roe Lake-Bridge Lake high
and elementary schools.

advantages enjoyed by most of the
other contestants could compete with

es Impressions

‘Of Cariboo Music Festival

Mrs. Ed Higgins on returning from| funy equipped was to her a matter of

| 8reat satisfaction.

Bridge Lake elementary school won
4 shield for choir singing mixed voices
and Roe Lake High school girls’ choir
won a cup. Also several certificates
Were won by entrants from both these
| schools. Singing in the Roe Lake girls’
choir were Marie, Irma and Nancy
Malm, Shirley Cartinson, Betty Grafe;
Irene Higgins and Joan King. Their
teacher was Mrs. Russell Boyce. In
the Bridge Lake Junior choir which
was for the second consecutive year
awarded a shield
grade four down. Their teacher was
Mrs, A. Law.

Solos were sung by Arthur Martin-
son, Larry Kalloch, Betty Boultbee
and Betty Faessler, most of whom re-
ceived certificates. Recitations also
were rendered by several from the
elementary school

Aside from the interest created by
the opportunity of competing and the
educational advantages derived by the
contestants the entertainment itself
was a rare treat. One impressive fea-
cure of the festival was the quiet and
orderly entrance and efficient perform-
ance of a choir of considerably over
200 voices from the Kamloops Indian
Residential school under direction of
Sister Anna Mary, and there weré
many other very delightful numbers,
both vocal and instrumental.

Mrs. Higgins feels that the Roe
Lake-Bridge Lake district is very for-
tunate in having teachers with not
only the ability but the willli

Letter to the Editor

Williams Lake, April 1951.
‘The Editor,

Williams Lake Tribune.

Dear Sir: May I have the opportunity
to correct what might be a false im-
pression of my attitude towards ex-
tending the Village Water System to
include the residential area east of
4th Avenue and south of the highway.

First, I'm not in favour of extending
the system to the entire sub-division
in this area. But I would give serious

*o devote so much time and effort in
preparing these children to so success-

fully compete in this musical festival.

not only teachers and classes could
have transportation to the event but
also to have accommodation for the
residents of the district. This, to the
writer is evidence of the great inter-

ceiving from their community! In
fact practically every family in the
two districts was represented.

The adjudicator made excellent use
of this opportunity to improve the
future performance of these young
singers by his careful, constructive
criticism. Pointing out not only their
merits but also showing them how
they could improve by indicating
their defects. Dee |

Mr. Gardner Boultbee added to the
good time of the teaches, contestants

consideration to the system
to 5th, 6th and 7th avenues and along
Yorston Street. This project would be
undertaken to conform to the require-
ments of the “Municipal Act,” and
would mean that a “Money By-law”
would be prepared this year, a plebis-
cite held, and if approved by the tax-
| Payers the work commenced in: the
/ Spring of 1952.

So far as the plan advanced by a few
interested parties, requesting the Vil-
lage Commissioners to construct a
“piece-meal” system at present; to be
paid for out of past and present water |
revenue, it is unfortunate that there
are no funds available in the “Water
Account” that could be used for this
purpose, and not likely to be later this
year, and for this reason alone, I feel
bound to oppose this plan.
