ULSTER GIRL'S CHOIR
This additional page has been made possible by the photographs and information
supplied by Lillian Cree (nee Black) who kindly sent them to me from her private
collection. Lillian is resident in Canada and can be contacted through me by E-Mail.

The Ladies of the Ulster Girl's Choir ready to board their chartered aircraft to take them
to Canada. It illustrates the quality of their organisational ability, chartering an
aircraft was unheard of in those days, but look at the attention to detail in the uniform
way the ladies are dressed.

Mayor Nathan Philips finds an audience who are attentive as well as lovely as he shows the Ulster Girl's Choir pictures of his grandchildren at City Hall today.
Irish Airs Bring City Hall to Standstill.



One of the most popular songs in the repertoire of the Choir is
"The Old Wishing Chair."
Written by Elizabeth Quinn

Ulster's Wishing Chair is part of the Gianta Causeway on the North Coast of Antrim. Large numbers of visitors come to this phenomenon of Nature to make wishes - just like the choir members who gaze out over the Atlantic Ocean and wish - perhaps something not unconnected with Canada, Canadians and The Tour.

SING A SONG OF SPRING FEVER.

Ontario's Parliament Buildings had a hit on their hands yesterday afternoon. His Honor and Mrs. Mackay chat with Miss Irene Brown, when the touring Ulster Girls' Choir began to sing, that cinched it. Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. J. Keiller MacKay were entertaining the group's 60 members at a reception - and the group's 60 members ....


were entertaining them. In the picture Mrs. W. Daberkow sees that Lillian Black and Lynda Anderson are well served with refreshments. It wasn't the kind of day for working anyway.
