Ontario at a meeting because the guys who ran things woiildn't have listened anyway. ~Do you remember that fitst Liitto- Juhla trip? Tliat was a real balll Boy did we have fun. Imagin^e sleep-ing thxee in one bed at the place where we were bllleted. S<Hne of the fellows were even lucky enough io be able to sleep on the floor. But that was really some Liittojuhlat. They dont came like that anymore. There are 160 of us in the mass gym. The kids nowadays dont know what. a real mass gym group looks like. And the athletes who took part in the championship meet! Why some of them were just aboqt as goöd as the best in the whole of Canada. They Jigt dont came like that anymuore. The events themselves •were really a sight to watch, not like the stuff you see now. Some pf qur boys won medals and we vowed to train hard and then brlng the team championship home when we grew up. Do you remember that siunmer we went out to the park two and three nif^ts a Week to traln? There was no sla<&lng then. When we were finished it was an effort to even sit down and relax. The kids now just cann taketrainlng like that. And those meets we had that summer. •Remember the races and how close | there hasnt been another one like it they ali were. How about the time wh€n three of us came within a frac-tion of a point to each other in the three event. Boy, and that time when we ali entered the open class five event to liven up the competition. Those were the days. We even went to ali the other country points and held meets on Sundays when there wasn't anything going on at the park. Do you remember the work we did getting ready for the LUttoJuhlat which were sponsored by our club for the first tinie. That was really back breaking toil. The youngsters now wouldnt, believe what a forest there was where the south end of the track is located. Those "talkoot" were the real McCoy. You could just see the thing shpping up amidst ali the men and machinery running at peak capa-city. We used td get out to the park at 5:30 in the mornings and quite often it was dark when we went home. There was no fooling around. Everyone worked for ali they were worth. Remember the relaxation of taking a steambath at the day's end, and then a dip in the creek. Do you remember those Liittojuhlat the following summer? They were the biggest and best ones ever staged — cvcryono agreed to that. And The Post Mortem m The Easter weekend in Sudbury was a busy time. The occasion, of course, was the Annual Drama Festival of the Finnish Organization. If our reckoning is correct, this was the sixth festival that has been held and our personal opinion is that it was definitely the best in ali respects worth men-tioning. We have never had so many plays at earlier festi-vals and the quality of productions was generally very good. We were certainly very pleased with the way things went and are anxiously looking forvvard to the next one. Wbere it ^11 be held;"we do not know, because partidpants in the festival have strongly suggested that it should not be limited to Sudbury and Toronto. It has also been suggested again that d ^ i t e the f act that most dr^ma festivals are held in early spring, we should hold our festival in the fall, poss-ibly utilizing the Thanksgiving week-end. The motive be-hind this suggestion has been the fact that the Finnish Halls in most centres are very biisy places during February and March and it is difficult to rehearse plays properly and deyote sufficient time to them. On the other hand, in,the fall, there is very little going on and there is ample space available. The festival could become the beginning of dra-matic activities for the season and could create even more intierest in drama than has been the experience of the past when the festivals have .been held to möre or less wind up dramatic activities for the season. The question of competition has also been the centre of discussion. At ali previous festivals a winning play has been selected and the east has been awarded the John Salo chal-lenge trophy. This year it was decided to dispense with the competition between plays and simply award Oscars to the best actor and actress and consolation awards to the runners-up. This was done in the hope of getting the smaller centres to participate. It is generally conceded that it is much more difficult for them to compete for the best play award than it is for a group irom Toronto or Sudbury. It was also felt that there would be more inexperienced actors and actresses involved if the competition was restricted to individual awards. We have seen both systems in effect and it is up to everybody involved in the festivals to give some serious thought to the matter and arrange discussions on these ques-tions. The national executive is anxious to hear ali opinions, so that a decision can be made on these points in the near future. We have often mentioned that a great deal of thought should be given tb choosing a good play. We are still of the same opinipn and it would seem that the audience response was much better to good plays, despite language problems, than to run of the mill plays. We were particularly impressed by the three Toronto plays. They were very well done and ali the plays were very successfuUy written. Obviously,__the casts had done a great deal of work to get rid of the wrinkles and had suc-ceeded admirably. On the other hand, we saw a ntimber of Finnish comedies very Weil presented buflhe over ali effect was not nearly as good as with plays having a realistic content and a message. When we prepare for the next festival, we should try to kecp this in mind and the selection of a play should not be left to an individual, it should be don(p coUectively by the whole group and it would also broaden our understanding of drama. This year was the first time that the festivals have been bpen to adult groups. There was some fear expressed that the inclusion of aduits would mean the exclusion of young people, but it would seem that there is no such a danger. We had some excellent performances from the younger gene-ration and many young people worked hand in hand with the afiult. As a matter of fact the young people are obviously very capable of competing with the aduits, because the two main awards were given to young people. Lefs keep up the good work and one of the first steps is to arrange a discussion on the numerous points raised in this article and at the meeting during the festival, since. Do you remember the truck-loads of food and bedding we took to the park. "Unload one stack of stuff and rush back for another pile. How about the meetings just prior to the big event. We used to meet once and sometimes tvvice a day, even in the small hours of the morning. Those Old guys would slow up the works always by talklng about festivals long passed in which nobody was interested. The important thing was what was happening then. What was gone was gone, and just a w^aste of time to remember it. Do you remember how we actually detested those people who did noth-ing but speak of things they remem-t> ered? That was when we decided it was time the young' people started running the show. Do you remember? I wonder if you really do. — Gulliver. Neuvostoliitto ostanut filmin "Sota ja rauha" Moskova. — Täällä ilmoitettiin viime tiistaina, että Neuvostoliitto on ostanut kuuluisan filmin "Sota ja Rauha" ja tarkoituksena on esit-tiiä sitä Neuvostoliitossa. Tämä on ensimmäinen""kerta sitten toisen-niiiailman sodan kun filmi, jossa esiintyy hollyvvoodilaisia näyttelijöitä on hankittu Neuvostoliittocn. Ulkomaan kaupasta huolehtiva ministeri tiedoitti Italian Moskovassa olevaan lähetystöön, että se on valmis maksamaan $106,500 filmistä. Italialaiset tuottajat Donti De-laurentiis ovat valmiita hyväksymään tarjouksen. Yhdysvaltain Paramount Productions osittain rahoitti filmin valmistamisia ja huolehtii sen esityksistä Yhdysvalloissa, mutta se on italialaisten omistama. Viime vuosien kuluessa Neuvostoliitto on ostanut useita italialaisia filmejä. Perheen nuoremnmie 30 ihmistä loulckaantunut kranaatin räjähdyksen johdosta Javassa Jakarta. — Cheribonissa räjähti käsikranaatti eloltuvateatterin edessä viime maanantaina haavoittaen 30 henkilöä. Loukkaantuneista on 12 miestä ja 18 naista. Tiedonannossa ei lähemmin sanota mistä räjähdys johtui. Cheribon on Darulin kiihkeitten Islamilaisten keskuspaikka ja siellä on ilmennyt hallitusta vastustavia mielialoja. Kuvassa esiintyvä "ajattelukone" kykenee vastaamaan 20,000 maailman historiaa koskevaan kysymykseen. Se on Yhdysvaltain paviljongilla'Brysseliin kansainvälisillä messuilla. Painamalla nappia voi saada myös muutamassa sekunnissa lyhyen historiallisen katsauksen miltä tahansa vuodelta. Sen lisäksi kone kykenee antamaan vastaukset 10 eri kielellä. CENTENNIAL CENTRE OF ACTIVITIES IN B. C. Vancouver. — Out here in Vancouver the activities of Finnish- Canadians both young and old äre being more and more centered around the B.C. Centennial. We have our own centennial committee \vhich meets regularly every wed-nesday night at the Clinton Hall and ali interested people are in-vited fo join in the discussions of the committee. Över the Easter wcek-end we had a real gala affair consisting of a concert and dance on Saturday night with music by Ronnie Pajala and on Sunday we had a play "Song of the Red Roses". The next affair being planned un-der the auspices of the centennial committee is a Finnish-Canadian Youth Concert sometime in May. It w i l l be a special concert organized by our young people and featuring many of our younger artists. It will be as a tribute to the Finnish-Cana-dian pioneers of British Columbia. Allan Vestei-back is the one to contact if you want to get in on the fun. The next thing^^vill be "Life in the Finland Woods" on Mäy 31st. It wiU be an cvening of old fa<;hio-ned fun when the English speaking members ofjpur committee organize music, food, and entertainment in a manner thafs reminiseent of the way in v h i c h the pioneers enjoyed themselves both in the Old Country and here in Canada. There are a niullitude of activities around the Hall that rrtany, many people are enjoying very much. The main groups at this time are the Women s Choir, the Folk Dance Group, the Men's Choir and the orchestra. Everybody is wel-come to participate in the^activities of these groups. The Centennial has also prompted the committee" tö iniliate a po.ster and a vvriting competition, which is divided into two classes; those 14 years of under on .luno Ist 1958 and those older than H . , In both cases the theme must be "Scandinavians in British Columbia", although the contestants can live in Toronto or Sudbury aj far as we are concerned. And there are prizes too. Our committee will be giving prizes of $10.00 — $5.00 and $3.00 to the three best and ali the ontries \vill be submitted in the Scandinavian Central Committee Coiitest where the prizes are .$25.00 — S 15.00 and $10.00. The posters must be at least 15x15 inches and th^ stories less Ihan 500 words. A l i entries must be in by ,Iune Ist. AU contestants are askcd to place their» name and address in a separate sealed en-velope accompanying the entry and to mark their age on the entry. The stories may be fictional or based on actual happenings, just as long as the theme is about Scandinavians in British Columbia and, of course, it must be an original effort. — II. Anita Says Nice Weather In British Columbia Hello Setä. How are you? I am fine and so are the rest of the family. The day after tomorrow our Easter holidays begin and we dont have to go back to School until the 14th of April. It sure wlll be nlce to enjoy a holiday. But when we go back to school our exams will begfai. We will have our exams after Easter bistead of before. They wlll be hard and I'll have to study a lot. On Saturday, March 22nd. we went to the 'Finnish Hall Iri Webster's Corners for Juntunen's and Strom's twenty-fifth anniversarles. Many people were there and we ali had a good time. Both Juntuneh's and Strom's knew there was golng to be a party at the Hall, but Strom's thought it was for Juntunen's and Jimtunen's 'thought it waa for Strom's. SO they vere really surprlsed. On Tuesday, March 18, Mrs. Anne Puska of Webster's Comers passed away in St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver. She suffered a heart ättack. She was a good friend of ours and would have been sixty-eight on the following Sunday. Mrs. Puska was buried In the Maple Rldge Cemetery. The new Maple Rldge Hospital Is running very smoothly. They have had over 120 patients by now. My girlfriend's mom is there. On Sunday. March 23rd. Evelyn Ahvenus, Mrs. Vesa and I went with the Soderholm's to Horseshoe Bay and Stanley Park. We went through North Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay and on our way back to Stanley Park we took the Upper Level Highway. The scenery at Horseshoe Bay and from the highway was just splendld. The view consisted of the Pacific Ocean. mountains and forests. What's more, the weather was nlce too. Stanley Park was beautiful also. Many trees which flowers were in bloom •snd the north shore mountains in the background made it a photo- ?rapher's paradise. Last Friday we had a locker check at school. Mme wasn't too bad, but some lockers were really messy. Yesterday was April Fool's Day. I didn't play any exceptional tricks on anybody at home, but we sure got busy^^at school before the teacher came. When I walked into our class-room yesterday moming, a strange sight greeted me. Ali the desks were turned around backwards and the «rastepaper basket was upslde down on a chair on the teacher's desk. AU the rooms in our school were ta the wildest disorder. During the first period our science teacher Mr. Nelson bent over to pick up a piece of chalk from the floor and just as he was bent over one of the pupils tore a piece of cloth. lie actually thought his trousers had ripped and he tumed ali red. The weather sure is nice. AU the ti-ees have buds or tiny leaves on them and soon they wUl be out In fuU leaf. The temperature on sunny days is very high. usually around 65 degrees at the hlghest. Our Japanese plum tree was at Its fuUest bloom a Week ago and was swarming with bees. The domesticated violets were In bloom at the beginning of last month and several other types of flowers, including tullps, are bloom- Ing now. Thafs ali for now and happy holidays for aU who get them! Anita Hyvarl, Webster's Corners, B; C. USAin amiraaU Idittää yhteistoiminnasta etelänapia-alueella Honolulu. — Kontra-amiraali George Dufek sanoi, että 11 eri m^an retkikuntien yhteistyöskentely etelänapa- aiheella on ollut erinomaista tieteelliseltä kannalta katsoen. Hän johti amerikkalaista etelänaparetki-kuntaa. Hän oli sitä mieltä, että voi ottaa 10 vuotta ennenkuin voidaan täydellisesti saada loppuun tutkituksi siellä kerätyt havainnot. Marleen Is a Part Time Bushworker Dear Setä! How are you? 1 am fine. We had a lot of fun at school on Friday the 28th. We had a meeting and a program for the Red Cross and we went up to the seniors' room and watched their program. Then when their program was over, their teacher Mr. Montgomery had some tricks to show us. The tricks in-clud^ d pinning a cup to the wall, how to join two pieces of materia! togettier, hypnotizing one of us and one of the girls was asked to hyp-notize him. He, also showed how pepper can be separated from sait with a comb. Then we went into our room and Miss Love came to teach us how to make maple syrup and when she was finished we were dismissed. We went to.the bus and went home. When I got home I fed the pigs, sows and the horse. I also fed my goat because I can't forget her. I fed them because daddy, mom and Sylvia were in Sudbury. -After school I was home ali by myself. They didn't get home until six o'- clock. Sylvia is just doing her home-work and she wants us ali to be quiet because she can't think if we make noise. Daddy is glad that the bus can come to our gate and we can get to school. I am happy that we are having our Easter holidays and we can have fun. Rita and I will go to Jac-queline's place and we will have fun there. Thafs ali in English for now and I will write the rest in Finnish. Kuinka mummo voi siellä New Liskeardissa? Sylvia paahtaa pop cornia ja pian saadaan niitä maistaa kun ne kuuluvat paukkuvan. I was helping daddy to load logs on the truck. I was driving the tractor and daddy was putting the chains on the logs and placing them on the truck. I helped with the chains too, but I thought it would be enough if I just 'drove the tractor. Sometimes l would,get of f and help to lift them closer on the pile. Dadd^ drove the truck to the road and went to the house to eat his supper. When he looked out at the truck, guess what he saw? He saw a cat climbing up the side pf the truck to get on the load. When the cat come down he left his tracks in the snow. He also left tracks ali over the front of the cab. Going to school we have to walk from Miron's field which is about ä half a mile. Soon we win have to walk from the big hill which is about three quarters of a mile. Marleen Maensivu, Markstay, Ont.

Nyt ollaan keskellä pääsiäislomaa ja kaikki lapset ovat tietysti mielissään siitä kun saavat olla pois koulusta viikon päivät. Aikuiset eivät nauti niin pitkästä lomasta, mutta melkein kaikki saivat olla pois tehtävistään viime perjantaina, eU pitkänä perjantaina. Setäkin sai nauttia siitä, joten lomaa oli kaikkiaan kolme päivää peräkkäin. Maanantaina oli kuitenkin taas palattava työn pariin. Täällä on myös ollut kaunis keväinen ilma. mutta pääsiäisenä tuli^vä-hän kylmempi sää ja se näyttää edel-tulisi uudelleen, sillä tätä kirjoittaes-tulisi uudellene, sillä tätä kirjoittaessa on tullut vähän lunta. Pääsiäisenä oli niin kylmä, että vaikka naisväen oli kuljettava uusi pääsiäishattu' päässään, niin eivät pärjänneet ilman talvitakkeja. MÄutama päivä aikaisemmin oli niin lämmintä, että Setäkin maalasi venettä ulkona lämpöisessä auringon paisteessa. Täällä Sudburyn lähellä tapahtui toista viikkoa sitten ikävä onnettomuus kun kaksi pientä poikaa hukkui lammikkoon. Nyt onkin oltava varovainen jäiden suhteen, sillä jää alkaa olla heikkoa eikä kenenkään pitäisi enää kulkea Jäillä, muuten voi tapahtua onnettomuus. •raällä Sudburyssa oli viikon vaihteessa suuret näytelmäjuhlat ja väkeä saapui eri puolUta Ontariota. Setä oli mielissään kun pääsi kirjeenvaihtajamme Henry Tarvaisen puheille. Henry on kotoisin Torontosta ja aina toisinnan kirjoittaa osastoomme. Henry ksrtol. että hänellä on ollut kiireellinen talvi, mutta hän koettaa kirjoittaa piakkoin.
