By Chris Petersen
I see by this morning's paper
that they are having more trouble
in Bloody Harlan county, Ky. It's
getting so that down in that coun
ty when you go into the sheriff's
office to report a murder, you have
to stand in line.
It may not be crime but it
borders on it very close. Down
there it seems as if two wrongs
make a riot!
Crime is interesting in a way.
Gangsters, crooks and all. Some
one has said that a gangster is a
fellow with gunning little ways.
Give a gangster an inch and he'll
take a rod.
We had a crime wave in Blair,
too. There was a fellow who stole
a calendar and got twelve months.
There's a lot to this old saying
that a crook is a fellow who be
lieves firmly in his non-conviction.
I suppose that gangster's aren't
really bad. But still, how can a
gangster be decent when he had
to do business with the kind of
people who do business with
gangsters ?
-
Back home we have the system.
The local police force waits until
Saturday night to make their ar
rests and then the crooks come
clean!
Oh, well, there is no arrest for
the wicked.
From Alliance, we have a con
federate columnist who writes:
An old one worth repeating is
"Chivalry is the attitude of a man
toward a strange woman."
An 84-year old ex-dentist is sued
for 520,000 accused of breaking up
several happy homes. My, my,
gramps, we've heard of bards on
barley but never before on wild,
oats.
That skeleton that you often see
hanging in the doctors office might
after all, be his first patient.
This is the season when both the
wealthy and the tramps move
south for the winter. We average
guys get it in the back of the neck.
Before the present war, we
thought that it was the Finns who
were noted as long-distance run
ners.
That big thud that you just
hoard was ten more politicians
putting their ears to the ground.
Many well-intentioned persons
think they are "cleaning up" a
city by stamping their foot on all
recreational activities, whole and
unwholesome, intended for the
amusement of young people. Soon
they will be wanting to roll up the
side roads.
ton, Eleanor Edison and Martha
Nickerson did a fancy Job twirl
ing with wooden guns to the last
number, Parker's "American Le
gion March." Mr. Olsen awarded
Joan Shanka a pin in recognition
of showing the best improvement
of those taking private lessons.
Though this is not an annual
award there are chances it may
become one.
They Don't Understand.
rart of most people's failure to
appreciate symphonic music may
be found in the fact that they do
not understand the spirit of the
time and the country in which a
piece was written. (It does not
necessarily follow, however, that
a person who has a liking for
Mozart and Haydn knows 18th
century Europe).
Recently the NBC Symphony
played 20 year old Ernest Gold s
'Tan-American Symphony." Any
die-hard swing fan could have
found much to enjoy in it because
its rythms and the melodies are
of America today. Music, like the
other arts, speaks of the time in
which it was composed.

sounded a little fuzzy occasionally
The last two selections on the
proeram. Copland's 'Outdoor Over
ture' and Prohofieffs "Triumphal
March from Peter and the Wolf
raised this interesting comment:
"There's one advantage in playing
that sort of thing because you
don't know whether it was com
posed that way or whether the
orchestra was lost."
The program, however, which
was partially guest conducted by
Mr. M. H. Shoemaker of Hastings
was well played and merits much
praise for the orchestra members,
particularly the horn players, and
for the efforts of Mr. Wishnow.
Band Performs Wednesday.
Mr. Walter R. Olsen conducted
the all-state high school band in
an ambitious concert in the Union
last night. Instead of the usual
quota of Sousa or Goldman the
group played Uggen's "Built on
a Rock," Christiansen's "First
Norwegian Rhapsody and Purcell's
"Golden Sonata, all of which re
quired considerable amount of in
terpretive and technical skill, but
the band played them relatively
well.
Surprise to the audience as
they followed the printed pro
gram was the band's presenta
tion of "Clarinet Polka," which
was not listed.

The book fulfills its purpose
with attractive pictures and un

like Pelley?
It's A Crime.
Americans can be accused of
few crimes less revolting than
that of not doing their utmost to
treat these men as their protec
tors. There can be no compromis
ing that buying war bonds and
stamps as a patriotic contribution
are vitally important, but it
shrivels into relative obscurity
when compared to the task of
making the soldiers of our army
feel that America and its people
are worthy fighting for. Let's keep
'em happy!
The all state high school chorus,
the girls ensemble, and the boys
ensemble gave an interesting pro
gram last Friday. Dr. Westbrook'a
chorus seemed in its iirst group
of numbers to be somewhat heavy
but in its second group, beginning
with Speah's "Morning," the so
pranos blossomed out beautifully
and a better balance was evident.
Girls DM Well.
Mr. Glattly's girls ensemble
gave a remarkable showing of
near perfect diction, and Mr.
Leger's boys ensemble in close
harmony enjoyed themselves im
mensely. Certainly everyone must
have gotten an emotional lift after
hearing them.
