mua=o=a Saskatchewan might be termed the epitome of Canada’s Great West. N 0 other Province has a more interesting population. for the fabric out of which that population has been woven contains threads of so many racial cultures. Of the eight hundred and seven thousand souls recorded in the census of 1926, three-fourths are of British descent with English and Scots blood pre- dominating. Over half a million were born in Canada, and of these a small but notable sprinkling are of French-Canadian descent. Nine- ty-eight thousand were born in the British Isles. Continental Europe lhas added twenty-two racial strains :of which the larger groups may be summarized as- Slavonic (55,000), Scandinavian (20,000), Teutonic (20,000) and Romance (14,000). The aboriginal Indian population num- bers about 13,000. Each of these racial groups can contribute someâ€" thing to Canadian art and music, for each has its traditions of handi- craft and folksong, traditions which fiAGE EIGHT A.T.R .

TWO ONLY â€"- ACT QUICKLY .BaiaEk Limited“ Phone 68 Richmond Hill 0=O°=0=0=6 The main idea of this Great West festival is to help Canadians to realise the priceless heritage which they possess in the traditional melodies which have been brought to this country by immigrants, and in some cases have been composed in this country by early settlers. The field of folkmusic is so immense that only a glimpse of it can be secured in the four days of this particular festival, but some of the greatest artists of the continent will render interpretations and it promises indeed, to be a feast of music and color. Poul Bai, the Danish baritone will feature in Norse music, Charles Marchand in the French-Canadian folksongs and almost every nation will be represented in handicraft as in song. Above is seen a Slovak weaver who will remove his pipe and sing to his handiwork. which the Folksong is intimate 1y linked up with handi~ craft, for it is to th( accompaniment of folk- song that the spinning wheel turns and the beautiful homespun fa- brics are woven. These fabrics can never be duplicated by the fac- tory-made article, and the‘efiorts of the Canat dian Handicrafts’ Guild to find and retain a market for the craft- work which can be done during the winter months on the farms of Western Canada is therefore well worthy of support. This Guild is preparing a handicraft exhibit in connection with the Folksong and Folkmusic Festival Canadian Pacific is organizing to be held at Regina, March 20_-28rd, as the inauguration of a Saskatchewan Branch.
