Trail Maple Leaf Band and the Novafones
SHSS Next Thursday Night

To Appear af

‘One of the oldest bands in:
Canada, the Trail Maple Leaf
Band, will share the spotlight
with. the Novatones for an
evening of entertainment at the
Stanley Humphries Secondary
School gymnasium next Thura-
day evening, sponsored by the
Castlegar and District Arts
Council.

The Trail Maple Leaf
Band, under the direction of
Lorne DePaolis, is now in its

year.

In 1919, Mr. Landucei, now
a well-known Cominco official,
was the winner of the contest
which decided the name of the
band.

One of the biggest thrills
experienced by the band occur-
ted when the world's greatest
trumpeter, Rafael Mendez, per-
formed in concert with them in
1956 and 1957. A highlight of
the second concert was when
Mendez played third trumpet
to il’ trumpeters Norman
Fishwick and Lorne DePaolis to
the tune of LeRoy Anderson's
“The Trumpeter's Lullaby.”

Many musicians have been
trained by the Maple Leaf Band
and some. very outstanding
ones should be noted. George
Watson, who is now deceased,
played for the Dal Richards
band in Vancouver. A brilliant
clarinetist, Albert Delbuccia,
played with the Ray Norris
quintet,

University. Just recently, Shar-
man King played in the Expo
‘67 band in Montreal and from
there went on the road with
Buddy Rich for about six
months. He is now teaching
music at the University of B.C,
and playing with the Edmonton
Symphony.

There are many more
names—some who have played
in the Canadian Army, Navy
and Air Force Bands, as well as
the RCMP band in Ottawa,

The Novatones, under the
direction of Dennis Truant, is a

Rroup that has been in ex-:

ssteuce for approximately 10
years and is made up mainly of
members from the Maple Leaf
Band, The 15member band

Board Rules Against CanCel

Violates Call-Back Order

‘The B.C, Labor Relations
Board has ruled that the
provincially-controlled CanCel
(Canadian Cellulose Co, Ltd.)
violated the provincial govern-
mont’s back-to-work act passed
last October by not calling back
workers in accordance with the
legislation.

The Pulp, Paper’ and
Woodworkers of Canada
(PPWC), complained that the
company contravened the act at
its Prince Rupert sulphite mill
and ‘national president Reg
Ginn says about 40 workers will
be entitled to some back pay.

‘Tho board sald it hopes its
Judgment will enable the two
sides to sottla the dispute, bul
retained jurisdiction if there is
no settlement,

The. back-towork~ order
was legislated by the former
NDP government to end
strikes in several ‘industries
including the pulp industry.
The legislation ‘required af-
fected industries to reinstate
operations to the state’ they
were prior to being atruck, 48
hours after the legislation be-
came law on Oct, 9,

‘The sulphite mill was oper-,
ating 24 hours a day, seven
days a week which required
four shifts at the time of the -
strike, When the employer
resumed operations following
the legislation, only three shifts
were called back because a new
work shift schedule» was
brought in requiring . fewer
shifts,

In doing so, the production
workers were not called back to
work until Oct. 14 and the
union alleged that they should
have been called back by Oct,
10 or at the latest Oct. 11,

The PPWC also alleged
that when the workers were
called back some of them were
placed in lower classification re-
sulting in a “serious decline in
income."
