The forest service headquarters has
agreed upon building government
road into Taylor Park this summer
thru Taylor canon. This was settled
at the meeting of forest supervisors
recently and SIS 900 appropriated for
the road from the forest boundary near

This action Is yet dependant upon
favorable action by the Board Of COun-

sists of merely one melody which
is simply repeated over and over
again. occasionally, at very rare
intervals, a popular song writer
may grow eXtravagant and COM
biue a couple of melodies. but this
is regarded as unnecessarily waste
full The one melody of the popu-
lar song is the same as the theme
of classical music. Paul White
man was the first to conceive the
idea of taking this one jazz melody
and filling in the gaps between its
occurrence with counter melodies
First comes a dramatic introduce
ton leading up to the jazz melody,
while after that each time the
melody occurs it is preceded by q
bit of-say q List rhapsody or
Chopin mazurka-possibly even a
difficult passage by Bach.
According to Mr.. Whiteman, this
task, which is now being followed
by nearly all the leaders OF Amer
lean dance orchestras, is one which
should not incur the scorn of good
musicians. "All classical music, "
he says, Consists, in the final
analysis, of the folk themes Of
peasants which have been built in
to sophisticated art. With the pos
sible exception of Mcdowell and
Cadman, our dance music has thus
far been Americas one original
contribution to the music of the
world. Our other music has been
the result of European influences,
And Europe gives us credit for our
contribution"

for Sunday night sermons from the

duction which is to open a local
engagement at the Pastime theater
today, for a run of several days.

possible influences to preserve the
sacredness of the home" said DR..
Caswell land no instrument |

moulding Of sentiment as the mo-

matter of genuine congratulation
that this particular story, "Over
the HILL" is now presented with
such amazing success. Now has
arrived the opportunity for which
the church has looked and prayed

truth In terms of practical and at.
