Dr. Ruebsaat Gives
Folk Song Recital At .
Teachers Assoc. Meat

Dr. and Mrs. H. Ruebsaat were
guests at the monthly dinner
meeting of the Castlegar District
Teachers Association, last week,
which, despite the dissunsive ef-
forts of the weatherman, was at-
tended by 27 district teachers.

After an excellent Italian style
dinner, served by Mrs. G, Mar-
tini assisted by Catherine Pelli-

grin and Elizabeth Hopland,: Dr.
Ruebsaat entertained with his
popular folk-song talents,

He explained the intimate and
necessary part folk songs play
in the culture of a nation, “Con-
tinuity,” he quoted from the
famous American folk singer,
Burl Ives,. “is the cement of th
family and folk songs, the cement
of the nation.”

Dr, Ruebsaat then sang and ex-
plained a number of old German
folk songs, which though they
bear a distinct flavor of the old
treat of nature, life and love,
Church music from which they
