was sounded by Cathrine Curtis
national director of Women 1nVes

Declaring that women pay tiv'

ut is about time they woke
up to fact that the Govern
ment tax bill is just as much
their responsibility as the rent
bill, the telephone bill, the gas
bill and the grocery bill"
STRONG PARTNERS
She continued:
women and money, women
and taxes, women and govern
ment are three mighty and
powerful partnerships.
women spend about IS per
cent of the consumers money,
but they seem to take money
for granted.
"They are beginning to real
ize that If Government expendi-
lures continue to increase and
Government income to dimin-
ish the Government may not
continue to offer them the Sc
curity they expect for them
selves and their children.
"Our organization has recent

women own 10 per cent of
the wealth of the country
through their ownership of 80
per cent of all life insurance
policies which are mad Fay

all savings banks deposits are
owned by women, in addition
to 4S per cent of the stock of
railroad corporations, A per
cent of the stock Of all public
utilities and 40 per. cent of all
real estate.
"The recent session of Con-
greSS voted more than ten bill
lion dollars from the taxpayers
pockets, six billions more than
will be received by the Govern.
ment in tax payments. Such
appropriations do not take into
account the sums needed for the
social security program and
other kindred projects"

Before crowd that filled the spacious
Washington Auditorium to the doors,
Sunday evening, the first indoor free
concert by the Ely Municipal Band was
given.
Comment was general at the con-
clusion that the concert by the band
Sunday evening was one of the best
ever given by this popular organization.
The guest artist for the evening,
Bobby Basso, the 11-year-old child
prodigy and his violin selections was
the central figure of the concert and his
heralded appearance in this city was
not overdrawn. The boy is indeed a
child wonder.
His rendition of the intricate Fan
TASTE Ballet" by Deberiot left nothing
to be desired either in tonal qualities
or technique. Without a score the boy
played this difficult composition and for
nearly ten minutes kept his hearers
spellbound. He was accompanied by
Miss Eleanor Esko at the piano.
Later in the evening he played two
selections, the "Mazurka Caprioccioso"
and Allegro Brilliante" both by ".
KIDD, and further clinched his popu-
larity in the hearts of his listeners.
He was recalled and graciously re-
sponded with another difficult selection
played as a solo without accompani-
ment.
