NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Next week, from October 4th to lth, will be Fire Prevention week. FIRE 1S SO FINAL Serving the district ss ss ce as tees ee ee Se ee Se et October 1, 1964 ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET COMING errace Bay and Nort ore residents will have the opportunity to see Canada's top stage performance when the Royal Winnipeg Ballet perform here on October 20th. This internationally famous group of over thirty dancers have won acclaim the world over as one of the most exciting and modern ballet companies ever, playing to sellout crowds in Europe and the United States. Performances in New York, the centre of entertainment, brought such raves from the New York Harold Tribune as: "The most engaging ballet group functioning this side of the Atlantic. They can dance"; and from Time Magazine, "One of the most reassuring masculine presences on the ballet stage to-day". The Boston Traveller hailed it as: "The most excitement since the Moisayeu (famous Russian company) was here and the most enthusiasm from an audience". It will truly be an evening that no one can afford to miss; and at prices far below those usually charged. Our good fortune in having the group here is caused by the travel schedule which calls for a stop- over in this area between performances in larger. centres. Cost for the event, while still quite high, is much lower than usually charged, but will cover expenses for travel and accomodation between shows in larger cities. It provides a tremendous "break" for} Terrace Bay. The event is being sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, in co-operation with the Recreation Association and Schools. Contact details calls for "a full perfor- mance "so that we will see a programme that only those in large centres usually have the advantage to attend, and for a far lower admission. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON MISSING IT !! Tickets will be on sale shortly. Get yours early, as there will be a limited number, due to seating restrictions in the auditorium.
