The Greatest Line of Radios Ever Built by Northern Electric lfoer Prizes For Music Contest Special Series of Articles to Start in The Liberal Early in New Year Beginning just after the New Year, the columns of this paper will carry a contest for Public and High School children which is being promoted by the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Willnowdale Branch, of which Mr. A. Melecci is Principal. This contest will take the form of a series of ten \vcekly articles writ- ten by such eminent musicians as Sir Ernest MacMillan, Dr. Horwood. Mr. Frank Blachford, Mr. Norman Wilkes, Mr. G. D. Atkinson. Mr. Peter Kennedy, Mr. Christopher Woods, and others. Each article will be followed by three questions based on the article and set by the writer. At. the conclusion of the ten publi-l cations, these questions will be used as a written contest. Any school student in the district from York Mills to Richmond Hill may enter, and applicants will be required to write the examination in groups un- der supervision. The anvaers will be judged according to school grades. Prizes have been contributed by the Conservatory and by local merchants at Richmond Hill, Thornhill and Lansing, and will be presented by the donors at a special musical proâ€" gram to honour the winners in eachi locality. The contest is being presented with only one end in view: to stimu- late the interest in music which the schools do so much to awaken. It is hoped that in another year further steps maybe made in this direction. A very few years ago, the only ap- proach to music for a young person was the usually painful innoculation of piano lessons, after which he was probably forever immune. If an in- terest was developed it was more often by good luck than good man- agement, and continued not because but in spite of what few roads were open to him. The last few years have altered that situation immeasâ€" ui'ably, and the appreciation of music which has come like the dawn must; not be dimmed because the world is deep in trouble. The effect of good, music in moulding men and nations is sometimes foolishly overlooked. Tell your young people to watch for this contest. details of which THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Overseas The following letter was received by Mr. Charles Graham of Richmond Hill regarding his son Donald, who has been in England two years last Novtmber. He has been on active service with the Royal Air Force. Roy Buckley being the pilot and Don the Gunner in a Wellington bomber until last June.

England. 4th November 1940. Dear Mr. Graham:â€" As your son came in to see me one day last week, I thought you would like to know that he was look- ing very well and seemed quite happy over here. Mrs. Hope, who works at the Beaver Club, brought him in with two other Canadians and we fitted them out with some of the woollen comforts sent from Canada. They went from here to a luncheon party at the Overseas League, so I think they were thor- oughly enjoying their leave in Lon- don. I have a son in the Air Force, of whom I always like to get as much news as I can, and, as you are so far away, I feel this note may be Welcome. Those of us working here are so anxious to do what we can for Canadians in the Fighting Forces. Yours very sincrely, Mrs. Leonaiid Hancoek, Chairman Information and Records Department.
