They tell me it was quite an event when, after hours of fin- icky labour, the onganist'and ibuilder turned on the juice and the first squeak went through the house. The report is that 1wife and kids and dog came By F. J. Pican If on Easter Sunday morning you happen to be on Church Street North in Richmond Hill and hear an organ pouring out the strains of the grand old hymn “Welcome, Happy Morn- ing . . chances are good that it will be the chairman of the Hill’s public school board, Har- old Sanderson, giving forth. And, if you do hear it, there are a couple of things which you should realize. First, that it isn’t one of those “they laugh- ed when I sat down to play” performances. For Harold San- derson, self-taught, can really manipulate the keys. Secondly, he has done something that few organists can lay claim to. He built the organ on which he ‘playsâ€"anfleleotri-c one. “Going. going, gone - sold for $400” called veteran aucâ€" tioneer Alvin '8.

Teen Town First You Build It - Then You Perform On It! a-runmng to see what miracle had here been wrought. It Needed Patience And a miracle it wasâ€"é mir- acle of patience. A hundred and thirty-five hours went into the assembling of the innards of the two-manual electronic in- strument, with its two (ii-note keyboards. Another six weeks went into the beautifully tool- ed mavhoguny caseâ€"a work of art worthy of any professional cabinet-maker. The instrument was built from one of the ubi- quitous “do it yourself” kits now available, it seems, for 1any11hing from a lawn-mower to a space ship. u (In‘cidenvtly, if instead of an Easter hymn you hear “Love is a manyâ€"splendored thing” it will still be ex-choir-member Sanderson. I heard it at the musicale staged to demonstrate the fact that besides cumng ‘school budgets the organ-build- er can out quite a figure at the ‘console.) Facts and figures, naturaill‘y. don’t tell the fulfil story and give the full impact of a labour of love, but they do serve to illustrate what a big job was undemtaken in building the or- g-a‘n. For instance, eight hund- red feet of wiring went into the instrument. There are fifty radio tubes. The number of tiny d-a‘bs of solder is legion. There are 122 keys switches with four resistons on each one. A look into the inside of the handsome instrument through the back reminds one of the in- @Good eatina QaA'l' sAv‘mes!

Church Street's organist spent sixteen years in the Unit- ed Church choir. He admit-ted that during that time he sneak- ed in a few hours of buckshee practice on the church organ. The rest of his ability was de-5 veloped through sheer stick-to- itiveness. Other members of the family play too. Daughter Jean and son Paul are pia-nists‘ but apparently would rather play on the organ than the in- strument they are supposed tol practice on. So far, she has re- sisted temptation, Mrs. Sander- ‘lson, who is a pianist, said. lMore Culture For Hill Now another “dingus” is be- ing built to go into the organ. When completed â€"- and again there seem to be thousands of little spots of solder to be placedâ€"it will expand the mus- ical effects which can be obtain- ed. The orga-n. for instance, can double as a harpsichqrd. That (she Hill has far more than a normal share of experts in many cultural lines has been obvious for a long time.

The Real Issue On April 28th ,,,,‘ VOTE NO, ON APRIL 28th. LET’S NOT LOSE OUR LOCAL AUTONOMY AND CONTROL The real issue facing our citizens on April 28th is whether or not we want to open up our town to the indiscriminate establishâ€" ment of liquor outlets. We have heard a great deal about a promised “prestige” hotel but the very important fact remains our town council has no legal guarantee that such a hotel will ever be built. What we are really being asked to do on April 28th is to approve the sale of liquor by the glass in cocktail lounges and restaurants throughout our fair town under the jurisdiction of an outside authority. If we vote yes we are simply ab- dicating our precious heritage of local auto- nomy to a provincially appointed body lo- cated in Toronto. Are you in favour of the sale of liquor under a dining lounge licence for consump- tion with meals on licensed premises?
