Lovers of fine music in the North Yonge area won‘t have to go to the city next winter to hear “live” performances by some of their favorite Canadian concert artists. That is the word from the exâ€" ecutive of the newly-formed North Yonge Canadian Concert Association which is busy prepar- ing to stage a series of three or four concerts in Willowdale for the 1956~7 season. The Willowdale series, accord- ing to the plan, will become an annuél affair. The association hopes the response will show that there is sufficient interest in music along North Yonge to jus- tify similar annual series in Thornhill and Richmond Hill as well. The new association was form- ed early in July following two preliminary gatherings of citizens of Willowdale, Thornhill and Richmond Hill who felt that our leading artists deserve an invi- tation to this area, so that they can show us in person the vocal and instrumental talen s which have won them acclaim nationally and in other countries. Affiliations The association is affiliated with the Concert Associations of Can- ada which was formed in 1951 by Wallace Young, well known in edâ€" ucation circles as director of music for Oshawa schools. It will be similar to local concert associations which the parent as- sociation has helped to set up in many communities around Tor- onto and farther afield, including Weston, Leaside, Orillia, George- town, Whitby, Scarborough, Stouffville, Newmarket. Markham, and Parry Sound. Each of these places now has a flourishing as- sociation, the main work of which is to stage an annual series of concerts by outstanding Canadian artists. ‘Artists Canvass For Members Concerts By Canadian Artists Planned In North Yonge Area The artists available include Lois Marshall, James Milligan, Maureen Forrester â€" all worldâ€" famous names today â€"â€" as well as groups such as the Solway String Quartet, and a host of gifted but lesser-known artists. Even the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is available through the parent as- sociation which acts as the im- presario or artists‘ agent: but so far none of the local associations has mustered the financial forti- tude to invite it to play for them! The question, which artists are brought into the community, de- pends on several factors â€"- the tastes of local music-lovers, the financial strength of the organiz- ation, availability of desired ar- tists, and so on. Associations with 400 or 500 members (each paying $5.00 for the series of concerts) are usually able to put on four concerts and to include at least a couple of the most celebrated artists whose established popular- ity means that they can command higher fees. The method being followed in the North Yonge area is the same one that Has been used success- fully year after year in Leaside, Stouffville and the other places with concert associations. Formation First the association is formed by interested citizens, and‘ an ex- ecutive is selected. (In North York, this has been done and the president is William J. Stapleton, an advertising executive living in Willowdale.) Then the campaign manager (in this case Tom Fair- ley, a CBC publicity editor liv- ing in Thornhil), with the help of the other founding members, goes to work lining up canvassers â€" people interested enough to un- dertake to sell a few member- ships each. Such volunters, it has been found. will sell an average of nine memberships each. When the canvassers have been found. the executive decides on a future week for “Campaign Week”. Memberships are sold only dur- ing this seven-day period. Then the money is counted and, guided by the amount available and the preferences indicated by indivi- dual members. the artists are en- »gaged and the series planned in every dateil. The local associations are non- profit and all the work is volun- tary. The parent association, as the agent. gets a percentage of the artists' fees in the customary way. Need Volunteers “Right now I'm looking for all the people I can-find who will stand up and say they like this idea enough to try to enlist a few members when the campaign is on, some time in September or early October," the campaign manager says. “We're aiming at a membership of 600. For that we need about 72 canvassers and we're sure we will get them if enough people learn about what we are trying to do. Already we have volunteers all the way from York Mills to Richmond Hill â€" the area in which the campaign will be concentrated. "We'll need a lot more to be sure of success, but we are de- termined to be the biggest and best Canadian concert society in the Toronto area and we are con- fident that the people of North Yonge will rally around to assure themselves of a really outstand- ing series of concerts. There‘s no reason why North Yonge should not eventually play host to all the most famous Canadian artists.” With the indications of support already' received, Fairley states flatly that North Yonge can sus- tain not one but_at least three annual series of four concerts, in Willowdale, Thornhill and Rich- mond Hill. “When the thing reaches that stage and there are three assoc- iations going it will mean divid- ends for all the members of each one of them," he says. “Each member is free to attend not only the concerts planned by his own association but also those planned by all the sister organizations â€"- provided only that the seating space allows it. Even with things as they will be this coming winâ€" ter. members of the North Yonge Canadian Concert Association] will be welcomed (free of charge) at the concerts in Leaside, Wes- ton, Markham, Newmarket, Stoul’fville. and other places. Plenty‘ of members in other cen- tres having been using this ex- change arrangement to good ad- vantage these Iast ‘few winters, treating themselves to a feast of music â€"â€" all for $5.00. You can see that the idea is not to make money, but merely to finance con- certs by a series on : sound basis. Fairley wants prospective can- vaSSers to get in touch with him (General Delivery, Thorfihill) and to get busy lining up members in their own circles. Then, when campaign week arrives, they will only need to distribute member- ship cards â€"- and collect the all- important crisp blue banknotes. Apart from Messrs. Stapleton and Fairley, the executive in- cludes Ernest Adams (vice-presi- dent‘. the famous concert and operatic tenor living in Willow- dale; Mrs. M. McLean (secretary), a Concord housewife; Trevor Pierce, 3 social worker, living in Richmond Hill; Mrs. K. Gahan of York Mills; Miss Margaret Ste- phen of Thornhill: choir director John Cod‘sins of Willowdale; and John Danaby of North Toronto. (Membership is not restricted to residents of North Yonge and the inclusion of a North Toronto man on the executive reflects the de- sire to get support from the wid- est area possible.)_ “We were a bit hesitant about this whole idea at first," says Mr. Stapleton. “But the more we thought about it the better we lik- ed the idea of helping to bring our leading artistsface to face with North Yonge music lovers -â€" so far as we know for the first time in a planned series. The artists will have the well-deserv- ed benefit of our monetary supâ€" port, and, as for us. we will all have the pleasure next winter of Welcoming them to our commun- ity in three or four grand,eveni-‘ ings if music."

He gets the safety and comfort and style even it his car is a couple of years old. And he knows (it he's read this column long enough) where he gets his used cars for lots.

The designers made the body wider than the wheel treads and got rid of the running boards without exposing the sides of the car to stones thrown up by the front wheels.
