CHILDREN PLAY WELL
IN VIOLIN RECl!ALS

Is it worth while to be a member
of the violin classes which are OIL
fered every winter to the children
of Richmond under the supervision
and instruction of Professor Freder-
ick Hicks? We think it is, If the
playing of the children Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings who be-
gan their work as pupils in these
classes is any sign by which we
NAV Judge. Out of the twenty-one
children presented by Professor
Hicks for recital, on Wednesday
evening. June 9, sixteen began
their violin work as pupils IN these
violin classes.
EVERY child in this recital played
his solo from memory and the play
ing in general was very good III
many respects.
Lloyd Outland played hungarian
sketch by Hoevath in an excelleh,
manner. He played with spirit anu

Barney Reddington, the last soioiSt
on the program, secured the lhter-

narade march by GreCnWald.
While these children deserve
special mention, we wish 10 say
that all the children played well as
members young in the study Oh the
violin and are to be congratulated
and encouraged to continue IN thclr
study. The children who TOOK part
in this program were R!charu

Simpson, Victor Terhune, Lucille
Norman, George Hayward, and
Barney Reddington. Many OF these
children are members of the Gar
field orchestra and several OF them
will join that organization next
September.
Assisting with the program for
this Junior recital and adding
much to it's enjoyment on the part
of the audience, was Miss Edith
Warner, a pupil of Miss Mildred
Schalks, who played two piano
solos.
Many children accompanied the
violin players and they played
their accompaniments so we'll that
we wish to mention them especially
as having an important part in the
success of the recital.

The Armcnans Fought.
Two points were emphasized by the
Portland editor in his talks here,
First that the Armenians are not guilty
of the charge that they did not fight.
He produced facts showing that they
fought with great bravery and endur-
ance against the Turks and won sue
cess though but poorly armed and
equipped. An Armenian force drove
one Turkish army 100 miles and was
responsible for keeping the Turks
from the Baku oil fields.
The present need Of aid for Armeu-
ians comes from the fact that virtually
the entire race was driven into exile by
the Turks and when after the armistice
the Armenians returned they found
their homes in ruin.
THE Turks did not leave even
shovel" said the speaker. The re-
turning Armenians found nothing.
They were without food, clothing,
homes or even implements with which
to bury their dead. out of 250,000
orphans some 10000 are being cared
for in orphanages but these places are
so scantily supplied with food that
there is scarcely enough TO keep life in
the bodies OF the little ones.

OUTLINE OF CENTRAL

The states proposal to build the

railroad rights Of way should not he
condemned without giving the whole
project fair consideration. State Sen
ator Roy w, Ritner said today. Sena-
tor Ritner is one OF a committee of
three recently appointed to view and
report upon the feasibility of such a
road.
The idea, originated by /. n. or

is three fold. First, one Of tho 7yo
railroads now operating between the
mouth of the Deschutes and Metolius
shall remove its rails and agree with
the other in joint operation. Second.
these rails shall be laid over a right Of
way south from Bend to a connection
with the railroad north from Kla-
math Falls to Kirk. thus extending to /
a vast territory the benefits of rail T
transportation and giving to Oregon (

state shall pay to the vacating road a 7

tween the officials themselves t.. elm 4

now proposes to submit to one or the

support toward extending the line to
