Mr.. Hatcher and family were ON
their way from Monte Vista to their
home At Victor in the Cripple Greek

visit . brother-in-law. Ira Durham.
As the Dunhams were up White

Mr.. Hatcher is quite . fisherman

\ recent development OF the community
music movement is the revival OF a beautiful
old world custom-~the singing ol carols at
sunrise on Easter. Sunrise mass singing on
Easter is not new in this country. Ii has
been done for years on the Mount OF Olives
near Los Angeles in Central Park in New
York and in other places The present idea
is different 1t involves street singing By
small groups Of carolerS, Just as the Christmas
songs are sung from door to door ON Christ
mas Eve
1t is pleasant idea and one which Is likely
to grow in popularity with practice Many OF
the Christian Easter ob,ervanceS are similar
to and based ON pagan festivals marking the
end of winter and the greeting or salutatlon
of returning spring The Easter caroIing,
although supported by Christian churches. IS
primarily the idea OF choir and club leaders
and community organizers. and may take on
4 spirit OF universal rejoicing at the turning
OF the season.

FORGOTTEN POPULAR SONGS

TO make dancers holiday
every semblance Of a tune is now
being tuned into Jazz. This may
torture the ears Of the musical,
but undoubtedly carries the first
knowledge Of great themes from
classic opera to ears that would
otherwise hear nothing older than
today's popular song. Every song
may have its day, but that day
is usually as brief as the but
terfly's. The finest creations in
all arts often win a place at last
even in the homes of untau2ht
millions. But the popular" pro-
duct of one period seldom catches
the eye or ear of the next.
Stephen Fosters lyrics have
broken that rule because they
are essentially great melody, al
though they lack the enrichment
of such chords as Schubert would
have supplied. But America is by
no means poverty-stricken in the
humber type of song. The work
of the musical antholoGis's has
not been thoroughly done. The Ia
ter fortunes Of old songs hang on
their use in popular novels-"Ben
Bolt" in "Trilby," for example.
Or q baseball hero or political
leader may turn public attention
back to forgotten favorite, as
Governor Smith did with THE
Sidewalks of New York"
A song with far broader hu-
man appeal, almost unknown to
our generation, is "GrandfathGr's
Clock" An alert moving picture
