There's not a property owner

tant an asset as a community can

And yet, not on property owner in

partment from a poor one, or infer

1t would be a good idea if we'd
take the trouble to learn the trade
names of the manufacturers of
standard appaI atus, and then look
at the engines belonging to the To-
cal department Are those names on
their radiators? Did they come from
factories which produce fire appa-
ratus and equipment and nothing
else? Or are they someone's expert
ment or by-product9
Too many fire engines are sold
purely because of price differences,
or because of political favoritism.

In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
By KATE SWANEE sPARETIRE

By KATE SWANEE SPARETIRE
So many artists are appreci'
ated only after they have passed
beyond any earthly need Of COM
men6ation.
It is one of the tragedies Of
artistic endeavor that a com
poser, poet or painter may strug-
gle against poverty all his life,
while the world never gives him
the slightest recognition. After
death, however, he is acclaimed
D master.
Justin Ellie, the Haitian COM
poser. is one of the latest vic
tins of the worlds failure to
appreciate the work of a truly
great artist. Today his works
are frequently presented over
the radio and they are becoming
increasingly popular
In Justin Flies lifetime the
radio public never heard of him
and he never quite succeeded
in emerging from obscurity in
New York.
Probably to Franklin Adams,
Of the Pan-American Union. is
due, more than to any other
one man, credit for making Ellie
known to the world.
Flies numbers were featured
regularly on the concerts given
at the Pan-American Building
here, and broadcast over NAA
and WRC. In fact, so popular
did his works become that of
late no Pan-American concert has
been considered quite complete
without at least one Justin Ellie
selection. occasionally two or
three.
A group of local newspaper
men promptly acclaimed the
genius of the Haitian master,
among them William Moore.
Frank Baer and Lee Somers,
NOW, at last, he has come into
his own.
Many radio orchestras broad
cast his works. Perhaps YOU
heard his "Voodoo Moon" a
vocal number, the other evening.
certainly you can never forget
the wonderful rhythms that char.
acterlze his orchestral compost
tons.
Justin Flies fame is certain to
grow with the lapse of years, be-
cause he carries on the best ira.
d1tlons Of modernist music and
reveals striking originality and
marvellous technique. Even more
than Gershwin, Ellie is the mod
ern master of rhythm.
