ournaments. In addition to these a nuniber of
ield events will be run off. Probably the most^olorfu^^^^^
the Swedish relay •880—440—220—110 yards which is open
o all teams. This event has been a real crowd pleaser ät all
jittojuhlas, so there is every reason to expect that it will

ards for 16 and under and 21 and under boys as well as foi-omen
over 18. The under 18 girls will compete ih a 4x55
ards relay.
In addition to these track and field events the Festival
:onimittee is considering adding a jumping and throwing
vent to help round out the track and field program;
An extensive swimming program is also incliided in this
ear's Festival and competitions will be held for the same
ige groupings as in the track and field. There willbe 2^^
aces in backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle for alt these
lasses and also a number of reläys.
It will be a gay weekend in every respect with festivities
arting Friday night. Special arrangements are being made
o accomn[iodate guests at the camp for the weekend. One of
e special attractions planned for Friday night v i i i be a
ecialshowing of the World Youth Festival film. A iöwini-ing
party is also planned at the beautiful pool at Naiv^elt
; Saturday evening will be devoted to a Cultural Concert
•hich will see some of the finest of Canadian taleht perform-ng.
This of course will be on an outdoor stage and will be
ollowed by a campfire and wiener roast. Sunday morning
he team competitions will be concluded and much of the day
ill be devoted to the cultural competitions.
The Festival will wind up with a gala hoedovm and
ce Sunday evening after which the youth will agaihhead
;dr their home towns looking forward to the next Festival.
It will be a busy weekend for young Finnish-Canadians
[as the Tenth Music Festival of the Finnish Orgahlzatiön pf
[Canada wil be held in Tarmola the same weekend. But ön
he other hand it w i l l make the trip to Toronto really worth
hile when i t w i l l be possible to participate in two important
estivals at the same time.
Staft making your arrangements now to get to Toronto
or this b i g weekend of the year. And don't forget to get your

Whltefish. — Spring, complete
fith mosquitoes and black flies, is
pally here. We have our garden
already, and ali we need now
the sfrength to carry sufficient
"ater. to i t And now that the
ien is in our thoughts have
urned to the all important and
lways exciting topic of sports.
We had a very nasty sbock a
days ago when we leamed via
le grapevine that (hold onto youir
its Valma. Mary Anne, and Joyce >
tie Beavcr Lake Jehu's girlj relay
am is älready i n training- Yours
ly got a very sick feeling beIow
le ribs and a weak feeling In the
lee joints a sickness closely
lesembling pre-starting gun jitters.
Te are in complete sympatby with
tie Toronto girls wben toey read
lis. It's a nasty feeling isn*t it?
But thanks for the shove, Je-buites
— i t was just what wc need-to
wake us up to the realization
lat we have less tban two months
get our team into sbape. And
|>y sbape, we mean something bet-
Bi": than last summer's team with
M y three practices behind us.
*ut things aren't reaUy that bai«
^alma and Mary Anne have' been
uning at home for some montbs/
^Itbough a oertain somebody we
iow has her spikes in the attic
>m last falL We intend to give
>ur • team an . injection of' nev
lood, SO that' means yours tmly
bopes to sit on the sidelines and
cheer (holler her fool head off is
more accurate but less polite).
So much for that Now a few
words about the gym. We expect
to have at few girls in that this
year. For that we have to thank
Laila Penttinen and Sally Manni­nen
of the Jehu. Keep up the
good work girls! You're doing a
wonderfuI job. I Uft my hat to
you.
YouVe hcard of that old saymg:
all good things must come to an
end. At times it holds tnie I sup-pose,
but it doesn't seem to in
the' particular instance Vm refer-ring
to. I mean the Saari brothers
and sports. Toivo appeared on the
field last year and I hearwe.can
expect another one this summer.
The reputation of the name Siari
in track and field events is weU
Isnvmu SO we can expect another
star on the Speed Une^p. And
that does not indude Baby Karen.
She can joih the cheering section,
but well give her about 5 years
hefote we, star her.
WelL this is all ttie dirt I can
rakeup this time. but I wam cvcrjr-one
to be careful or theyll see
themselves in print as my target
Talktng about targets reminds me
(it 'doesn't take much you know)
that Pirkko in P.A. owe8 me a

Speed Requires
The Assistance
Of AH Members
In preparation for the first track
meet of the season in the Sudbury
district. the Speed AthlcUc Club
hasissued a call to ali able bodied
club members to pitch in next
Sunday, June 17. to get the. Jehu
field at Beaver Lake in first class
shape for the record busters.
Considerable work has already
been done on the field, but some
additional work must be done be­fore
it can be considered to be in
first class shape. The work is
scheduled to start at 11 A.M. and
after a few hours of vrork a train­ing
meet will be held to; help get
cverybody in shape for the meet
the foUowing weekend.
A number of other meets are also
scheduled by other district • clubs
so there should be lots of compe­tition
before the liittojuhla, which
will be held in Sudbury the first
vreekend in August.
The Speed club had scheduled a
dance to take place at the White-:
fish Finnish Hall on June 23. but
due to other activities on the same
evening the dance has been post-poned
and a new date will be an-nounced
soon.
The club has come up with a
novel idea for this dance in the
way of door prizes. They have
printed two different sets of tickets
— one for the women and the other
for men. The women's prize Is a
$50 merchandise " certificate at
Mary's Ladies' Wear while the men
will have a chance to win a tourlst
tent which is ideal for. camping.
These tickets are selling for 25
cents and two tickets are required
for admission.
REGINA OPERA TELLS
QU'APPELLE LEGEND
Marilyn Bell Is
befermined To
Swiin Juan de Fiic^
Canada's greatest femalc mara-thon
swimmer, 17-year^>ld Marilyn
Bell of Toronto, conqueror of Lake
Ontario and the English Channel,
will challenge the cold and treach-erous
'vaters of J j an de Fuca Strait
m late August or early September
after six vveeks* training in Victoria.
It is expected that Marilyn \vill
swim from Victoria to Port Ange­les,
which is considered the tough-est
direction. .,
Only person to beat Juan de Fuca
Strait in history, although many
have tried, is burly U^S. logger
Bert Thomas, an exfrgoman, who
swam from Port Angeles to Vic­toria
last Jujly after previously fail*
ing to make the crossing from
Victoria. .
Marilyn Bell made world head-lines
two years ago when she con-quered
Lake Ontario after Cali-fomia's
Florence Chadwick had
failed. '
Last year the«Ontario young-ster
conquered the English Chan­nel
in very fast time.
If Marilyn succeeds in beating
the treacherous 18.3 miles of watel
between Victoria and Port Angeles
she will get $30,000. But even if
she fails promoters have pronused
her $20,000.
"Since Lake Ontario and the
English Channel; Juan de Fuca is
a l l l V e been thinking/orV<Marilyn
told reporters. "It's a challenge.
It is going to be hard, but- I am
really looking fonvard to making
the attempt.
Another Toronto giri, Janice
White,/ who made an unsuccessful
bid last year, is also training for
the Juan de Fuca swim this sum­mer.
POOR PEOPLE \
The daughter of a wealtby pro-ducer
was asked at scbool to write
Story about a poor family. Her
essay began: "Oncc upon a time
there was a poor family. The rao-ther
was poor, the daddy was poor,
the chlldi^n were poor. The butler,
tvas poor. The chauffeur was poor.
The gardener was poor. Everybody
wa8 poor."

^ r e e sreais ago tlie Govii^aii
Indian Players won national'ac>,;
daim for their prodnction of.
Tdnqnaw, Ihe Indlän opera writ-ten
by^Vrank^BIorrisoni a Vattr;
conver . Island schoolteacher.
Now a' sccond opera has been :
«rritten and produced in Rei^a.
Like Tdnqnaw, which was based
on the stonr of the Thnnderbird:
and the Killer Whaie, it was In-,
splred by a weIl-known legend.
An event of importance for those
concerned with the development
of Canadian culture was the pre-sentationin
Regina of a locally writ-ten
opera,, Qu'Appelle River Le­gend.
The music was written by Frank
Thorolfson. organist and choir
master at the local Knox United
Church to a libretto by Tod Green­away.
Art McKay, a Regina artist
designed the set, with the perform-ers
comprising the studehts and
teachers of the Regina Conservatory
of Music. ,
The opera is striking in its symf
pathetic portrayal of the small hand
of Cree Indians, living on the QuV
appelle River.
It begins with the arrival of the
news that the white man is cn-croaching
on their territory and a
struggle develops between the matr
riarch of the tribe and Togay, the
medicine-man.
The matriarch, urging that the
band should move westward, sings
that i t wpuld be bettcr to be home-less
and free, rather than to rcmain
where they are, under the ddmina-tion
of the white man. The medl-cine
man, however, convinces the
hand that he has the powe'r to
ward off any such disaster and they
remain where they are.
Sherman Johnson, an English
trader, arrives and commenting
that the valley would provide good
soil for the empire, begins to trade
his cheap trinkets for buffalo robes.
He sees Mineekah, the daughter of
the matriarch, and falls in love
with her. Sherman bribes the me-,
dicincman to send off Mineckah's
Indian suitor.
Mineekah can see that the trader
would not fit into their kinft of
life any more than she coulä tie
happy living the kind of life he
has known. They would liveMhe
rest of their lives in the shaäows
and she prefers the sun. '
Finally he persuades her how-ever,
that they could be happy
together, and makes her promise
to wait until he retums.
Their meetings resuits in un-happiness
for all, for Johnson has
brought with him the smallpox.
^- /ks the second act opens Winter
Iliascome and Mineekah is dying
of the dread disease. She imagines
she hears Johnson calling her. but
she dies before he arrives in spite
of the mcdininc man's efforts.
, Whcn Johnson arrives ho realizcs
it <was he himselfwho had brought
mlsfortune to the band. He can
do nothing but leave. The power
of the mcdicine-man over the tribe
has been broken and he too wanders
off.
The curtain closes with the proud
matriarch, standing over her daugh-ter|
s body. dcfiant of a l l those who
would bring further misfortunc to
her band.
According to the original legend
the trader, a French coureur-de-bois,
as he is retuming to; Minee^
kah, hears her voice calling him
through the valley. He crics out
Qu'Apelle (who calls?). It is
from this tale that the beautiful
Qu^AppcHc Valley derivcs its name.
The music was pleasing and at
the same time in kceping with the
Indian theme.
The unique feature of the opera
is that it is the first attempt to
producc such work based on wes­tern
Canadian Indian legend. The
development of Canadian music can
be strengthencd only by such pro-ductions
as the Qu'Appellc River
Legend.

A Conlroveny Over
Paul Bunyaii's
Natioiialily
The töwn of Bemldjl. MUinesota
was up in arms recently to dcf end
its daim that Paul Bunyan was an
American. Not a fpw Canadians
visiting Bemidji, where postcards
and souvcnirs with the Paul Bun-ydn

attraction, have been taken aback
at this kidnapping of a Canadian
born and bred!
Pete McGillen, Outdoors Colum-nist
for the Toronto Telegram start-ed
a goodnatured crossthe-border

Paul Bunyan was Canadian beyond

Science Looks to the Sea for An
Increase in Our Food Resources
BY JOHN STACHEL
It just cannot be a coincldence.
From three different sources in as
many veeks I have had something to
teli me how we can get more from the
oceans.
And, in addition. two months ago
there wa8 a UNEiSCO conference on
solving "the mysteries of the sea" so
that its hidden resources can be put
to work more effectively.
I8 there more to it than fish?
Much more. But let us deal with
flret fish. '
SOAIUNG FOOD DJEMAND ^
Our ancestors hunted for their food.
Nowadays we rely mainly on control-led
stock-ralsing. Yet for fish we are
stUl at the priftiitive huntlng stage
— very much a hit-and-mlss business.
But can we farm for fish, sowing
the seas, tendlng the stock and wln-ning
tbefood.as we do on land? f,
These are among the questionflrais^
ed in a «reU-written popular book The
Sun, the Sea and Tomorrov, by F. C.
Walton Smith and Henry. Chapln.
Despite a stroog American emphasis
the book is world-wide .in Its scope. -
JEvery day, the authors recall, ^10,-
000 extra. mouUis are Joinlhg us for
dinner. So wfifle we can also look
to; bringing deserts into cuIUvation.
it is good sense to look to the seas,
whlch cov^ three^fifths of ttie globe's
surface.
We can find similarities as we11 as
diferences between ttie cycles of life
on land and in the seas.
' The ooean's. vegetable jvoducers —^
cprresponding to herbage — are
mainly Invlsible, except under the
mlcroscope. 'The minute plants, cal-led
vegetable plankton, are grxused by
other oiganians also very small.
Ifaese can t>e compared with the
plant>eating animals; the cows and
horscs, but oa ' a vasfly diffemit
«cale.
UNANSWEBEO QUESTION
' In tum. these form the food for
Bome fishes and so on through a chain
of fishes preyed,on bylarger or.stron-ger
ones, some of whlch arrive on our
tabic».
On the averagc about a thousand
pounds of plankton yield one pound
of fish. compared »Ith only 10 pounds
of grass needcd to producc one pound
of:bcef, Yet the fish supplies avall-ablc
l!) the seas are cstimated by all
the cxperts to bc vastly greater than
the meat suppliefegn land.
So fariarmlng MH;he more convcn-tlonal
fish has only had llmltcd suc-cess
in shallov-pond cultivatlon. So
we cannot answer the questlon of
whether we can economically "ralse"
fish as we do stock.
It is uscful, howcver, that somcone
is now putting this questfon, showlng
the necd^for research and polnting
to fresh food rcsources, instead of
suKgcstlng that wc have fcwer huoian
bemgs.
My second source— a recetit bul­letin
of the USSR Society for Cultural
Rclations<With Foreign Cknmtrlcs ,—
tells of the klnd of »tudles necessary
to increasing our supply of food from
thr* fisa, '
Tc-ams-have been sounding tfie de-preasions

the Kurlle-iCamchatka area near J a ­pan,
They have Investlgated for ex-amplc,
the up-and-down movcmertts
in the complex Hfecyclc of plankton
and fishes.
And my third source — from the
Britush Royal Institute of Chemistry
— pointed also to the vast mlneral
wealtb.of ttie sea; There is more in
this than the *ellknown common sait.

Studies — and use — have also been
made äf seewceds but diffIcultles were

DfPNT "MAKE SENSE"
The Story goes that Mark Twain
lost more than one hard-eanted
fortunc by investing It in hair-brained
»chemes. So be was wary
when, one aftemoon, a tali, spare
man with kJndly cyes and eagcr
face, came up the path wlth' a
strangc contraption under his arm.
Ves, it was an invention; the man
explaincd it to the humorlst, who
listcncd politely but said be had
been burned too often.
"Vm not asking you to Invest a
fortune," urged the man. "You can
have as large a share: as > you c want
for $.500."
Twajn shook his head; the In­vention
didn't make sense to him.
