The Heavenly Blue don't have any bookings ahead of them and they don't really care. But this Ottawa-based group is so busy they probably wouldn't have time for them anyway. They have just finished writing and recording sound tracks for three National Film Board productions.

Don Douglas, head music editor for NFB in Montreal, is very happy with their work. He says the group will be hired for similar jobs in the future. It was Douglas, a graduate of Ottawa Technical High School, who was responsible for getting The Heavenly Blue together, about three months ago. Darius Brubeck, son of renowned jazz musician Dave Brubeck, explained: "I was working on a session in New York with my father and Douglas was recording for NFB down the hall. "He dropped in and convinced me to come up to Montreal to do some work for him.

In Montreal, Mort Ransen, producer of the film I was working on, wanted me to meet Bill Writing sound tracks used to be the domain of more young artists are now trying it but most not as successfully as Brubeck and company. The Kensington Market, from Toronto, wrote the music for The Ernie Game. Douglas called their job only adequate. "The film was promoted three months in advance and delays in the music score meant that was finished only two weeks before it was to go on CBC's Festival." The delay also prevented the film from being shown at the New York and Montreal International Film Festivals. Deadlines are important, and few amateur groups are industrious enough to meet them.

The Heavenly Blue are professional musicians and song writers. They are all older than most 'young' musicians and they know where they're headed. Next January they hope to record in "the best studio in the world" (either Columbia in Nashville or Goldstar in Los Angeles). In the meantime, they'll be writing and recording radio and television commercials, film scores and generally becoming the most-recorded, least-known group in Canada.

Hawkins who was working on another film in Toronto. "I was looking for someone to write lyrics and I went down to meet Bill." That was the beginning of The Heavenly Blue. Darius took along a college friend, Jim Montgomery, who played guitar for "The Darius Brubeck Quin tet" in Xew York City. Hawkins suggested Amos Garrett, formerly with The Dirty Shames, for whom he wrote the song Dirty Shame. Amos' group never got around to recording it and The Esquires ended up with the song.

Sandy Crawley. ho wrote the music used bv the here," says Hawkins, "and we're tapping a relatively untouched market. There's no competition in this field in Canada like there is in the United States." Another reason that has been suggested is the U.S. draft law but group members won't comment on that. Centennial Caravans, and Carl Corbeau who drummed for the old Heavenly Blue were added to the group.

Water was brought from a swiftly-flowing river one-half mile across the hot, rocky terrain. "We tried to teach the people what they wanted to know." Maria said. The villagers didn't know how to boil corn, one of their diet mainstays.

Although they cooked with corn oil. the idea of deep-frying was completely new. Swimming lessons in the river brought out the children and adults in full force and gave the students an unexpected opportunity to teach he children, about half of whom do not go to school.

By Susan Becker Canadian Press staff writer A girl with tanned young face framed by blonde, shoulder-length braids and topped by a straw Mexican sombrero opened the door of an Ottawa home one day this fall with a gay "buenas tardes" greeting.

A bright yellow and cream woven poncho over her blouse and skirt, 20-year-old Maria Wellington welcomed a gathering of lively university students who shared a common experience: volunteer work among the poor in Mexico. About 150 Canadian students took part in such work last summer under the sponsorship of the Conference on Inter-American Student Projects. The students, invited by the Roman Catholic bishops of Mexico, are sent as volunteer workers to small villages near six centres in Hidalgo State. Money to send them is raised through donations or fund-raising projects such as dances and raffles. Students from across Canada have taken part, although project Chairman Jim Creecham, 22, says most come from Quebec.

The organization was started as a Roman Catholic movement but no considera tion is given to religion in membership. Quality, not quantity, is being increasingly stressed in selection of volunteers. Knowledge of Spanish, Mexican history and culture, and some idea of community development, are required. On arrival in Mexico, volunteers are given a four-day orientation period in Mexico City where the organization has an office staffed by a social worker and a priest. Although talks given at this time prepare the volunteers for eight weeks of life in "dirty, shoddy conditions," the big problem most students face is the shock of idealism meeting head on with reality.

"There is a great feeling of inadequacy when the student arrives at his project," says Pat Leslie, the national secretary. "You're not going as a great white knight." After orientation, volunteers like Maria Wellington, Mark Mahoney, 22, and Maureen McCarthy, 21, are sent out to teach writing and English and inject new ideas into the community everything from how to boil eggs to better ways of marketing produce.

Two-thirds of Canadian high school students are convinced they will complete secondary education and another 17.6 per cent think they probably will. About one-third of the students think they will definitely continue their education after high school on a full-time basis and another 20.6 per cent think they will probably do so. These figures emerge from a study on career decisions of Canadian youth conducted by John C. McDonald and Raymond Breton and published by the manpower department.

Most of the 200-page report consists of tables analysing the results of a 216-page, seven-part questionnaire answered by 150,000 students and 8,000 teachers in 375 secondary schools across the country. The report notes that technological advances have made education a major focus cf interest in Canadian society. "There is a general consensus in the community that a smooth and efficient transfer of young people between school and work is of crucial importance to Canadian society." The study tried to find out how young people make their choices regarding education and occupation: to what extent it is rational planning and how much is haphazard drift, and to what extent they are influenced by society. The report is intended as an interim measure. A complete analysis of the date gathered will be published later.

Professional and technical occupations arc preferred by most, 38.9 per cent, followed by serv ice and recreation jobs. 10.1 per cent, and clerical and sales jobs, 7.2 per cent. But more than one-quarter of the students. 2S.S per cent, expressed no career preference. The authors warn that there is a natural sampling error in taking about 13 per cent of the student population in only S.3 per cent of the nation's secondary schools.
