how we arrived at a decision. The first
thing we decided upon was to have the
sam holidays as we had in the past, and
the Committee has agreed on eleven
days. There seems to be a strong senti-
ment for certain church days; the Ques-
tion then came up about Good Friday.
Easter Monday and Whit Monday. The
question of observing Decoration Day
as a holiday in these Islands also came
up, and it was finally decided that it
should be left out as it is not universally
observed in the United States. We also
thought there was a further reason why
it should not be applied here. as i is we'll
known that this Island had dispensed
with the slaves earlier than we did. The
Committee in considering these things
thought they would please the people
by leaving out Decoration Day and sub
stitute a day which the people is accus-
toned to.
End Member for C~hristianstad Town
(Canegata) remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
| wish TO say that the Committee Report
has the approval Of the whole Council.
AS regards Decoration Day, to us who
are born here, it doesn't mean anytime
at all. | don't think you, will find
one American Soldier who is buried
in this end of the Island.
lst Member for Frederiksted Country
District (F9emjng) proposed that the
Committee Report be adopted and the
bill rushed through as soon as possible.
End Appointed Member (AoU) moved
that End Discussion be closed.
The Chairman then drew members at
tention to the following typographical err
ror in the Committee Report; viz: That
there should be a semicolon after the

End. Member for Christiansted Town
(Canegata) would like to know if this
bill is passed if it will be treated in the
same as the last holiday bill pass.

LONESOME Tunes
IN KENTUCKY

The recent trip OF two well known
musicians. Howard Brockway and
Miss Lorraine Wyman. to the almost
inaccessible districts of the Cumber-
land mountains, to study the folk
songs Of the half f-forgotten highland
people living there, has resulted in
what is probably one of the most
valuable contributions that have ever
been made to the literature of music.
The research visit lasted six weeks
and took the two enthusiasts through
the wild and desolate southeastern
corner of Kentucky, where they COW
cred over 500 miles on foot.
The task they set themselves was
to collect the so-called Lonesome
Tunes the songs of the inhabitants
of that section. These songs were
brought over by the ancestors Of the
mountain people in the seventeenth
century from England, Scotland, Ire
land and Wales, and have been hand
ed down orally from generation to
generation ever since. Owing to the
isolation OF this region, the songs are
preserved in absolutely their original
form, and. as Mr.. Brockway says:
"Sonfsfi which died out in the old
country a century ago are stin sung
every day in our Appalachian district.
When they sing, the tune and intona-
tion are perfect and the text but
slightly altered. They sing strictly in
unison. for the mountaineers have
none of the instinct for part-singing
which one finds so marked in the case
of the negro"

MUSICIAN ANTIDOTE
FORLABOR ROUTINE

Music is the best antidote for the
drudgery and routine of factory life,
according TO Prof Sidney Silber, head
OF the piano department of the Uni
Nerstty OF Nebraska School of Music,
VINO has been giving lectures on mu-
Sic IN Milwaukee recently.
Music offers compensation for the
monotony and drudgery of work
hours. which are inevitable he said.
Work in factories is devoid of the
artistic and-the pleasHrable features
which were a part of the old house
mold Industry. The factory system
With its dead routine, its endless repe-
titipn Of the same tasks, must have
some offset, some compensation.
The best cure Is music. Leisure
must be enjoyable or il is futile. It
must. be nobly enjoyable or it is
vicious. Just here is where music
comes in with its ennobling and high
~ enjoyable features.
II the worker is unframed for leis-
