MONTH OF PATRIOTISM

Today we enter on the month of Febru-
airy, which the American Legion this
year has dedicated to Americanism and
patriotism.
1t is indeed a fitting month to be so ded-
lcated. 1t IS, of course, the birth month
OF two of our greatest Presidents, Wash
lngton and Lincoln, and of another, less
er known as a President but renowned as
military leader in the early history of
the country-William Henry Harrison,
our ninth President
February is also the birth month of
Thomas A. Edison, the greatest of mod
ern inventors, born on February IL. 1S47
February Is marks the anniversary of
the destruction of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor in 1898, which ulti-
mately brought on the Spanish -Ameri-
can war. February 8, 1917, brought the
severance of our diplomatic relations
with Germany, to be followed two months
later by declaration of war.
The birthdays of Washington and Lin
coin, widely observed throughout the ma
ton, are two of the nation s greatest in
spirations to true patriotism, for each of
these great Americans exemplified it in
the highest degree.
1t is too much, perhaps, to expect daily
reflection on the history of the country
and the blessings which it bestows upon
those OF US fortunate enough to live in it
and be part of it. Therefore it is fit
ting that we should have national patrio-
TIC holidays to call to our mind the sacri-
flces OF the forefathers of the nation that
they might leave to US the heritage of the
United States of America.
With some in our midst willing and
even anxious to overthrow those Ameri-
can institutions which have come down to
US as American ideals, it is highly desir-
able that individuals and organizations of
the community should give some atten-
tion during the month Of February to pa
triotlSm and Americanism, that all of us
may have deeper love and respect for
the great country which is ours.

Reporter GiUen
InterUietO With
Concert Singer

Few Ell Centrans rea.ized last
night just how generous Nelson
Eddy was in responding so graci-
ously to the demands for encores
which were most insistent.
To begin with, his current film
had not been completed as he an
ticipated when he made arrange
ments for the concert. According
ly he had to work till the very last
minute, arriving in the city at 7
o'clock last night, one hour and Is
minutes before he was expected to
appear in concert.
Then the electric organ had to
be tried out. adjusting its volume
to the size and acoustics of the
auditorium. giving him barely time
enough to get ready for his pro-
gram.
After the generous and exacting
recital, Mr.. Eddy had to motor to
inland, catch train there and be
at work on the set at 8 o'clock this
morning.
In view of this heavy schedule
his many encores we're particular
ly generous, but his courtesy did
not stop there
Immediately after the concert he
gave an interview to a Press re-
porter, answering questions oblig-
ingly as he hastily packed his be-
longings.
Use of Organ
He explained that the idea for
the organ accompaniment came to
him only last week when he tried
the organ for himself, liked it, pur-
chased it, and then began to Won
der why it could not be used eff
fectively for concert work.
Accordingly he ana Mr.. Paxson
began work on the idea and last
nights program was the result.
The innovation met with enthus-
iastic approval particularly IN the
beautiful Handel Largo, the sing
er's voice rising clear and powerful
above the majestic background.
Further adjustments will have to
be made before Mr.. Eddy and Mr..
Paxson are completely satisfied, but
both believe that an organ accom-
paniment offers interesting posi-
bilities, supplying much that pi-
ano can not.
When asked whether he prefers
concert, radio, or picture work, Mr..
Eddy replied that concert work is
more interesting because of the di-
rect contact the singer has with
his audience. He is able to make
experiments and discover their eff
fects directly.
His interest and enthusiasm for
his work are obvious and no one
could have told just how tired he
really was nor what an exhausting
day he had completed.
AS soon as the reporter left a
swarm of children and adults fairly
mobbed the two artists who good
naturedly autographed countless
programs for their admirers. In
fact from the doorway not sign
could be sene of either, they were
so completely surrounded.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-11-08

Nelson Eddy and the Imperial
Valley Music Teachers association
alike began their concert season
last night when the young BARI
+ tone singer was presented by the
/ association il Wilson school before
a packed and wildly enthusiastic
h house.
In this first concert. Mr. Eddy
tried out an experiment, the use OF
an electric organ for Certain of his
numbers. this organ having the
richness and tone quality of a pipe
organ. The experiment met with
instant approval particularly in the
more powerful numbers when it
supplied an impressive background
for the songs.
Not only has Mr. Eddy beauti-
ful voice which he uses SO easily
and so naturally that his singing
seems effortleSS, but he has pow
er and volume which he uses to
tremendous effect. In addition to
this natural ability, his intelligence,
his sense of drama TO say nothing
of his sense of humor and his
charm of personality, combine TO
make him the fine singer that he
Is.
Original Program
His program last night was
marked by freshness and original
ity. his enthusiasm for his work
leading him to try new arrange
ments. new songs. and such inter
esting experiments as use of the
organ, an innovation to the con-
cert stage.
The first group included Ode
from OSSian's Poems tFrancis
Hopkinson) arranged as a pleasing
unit. His encore for this group
was the gay, lifting old English
ballad, "Chomondley Fair" John
c. Halliday.
Handel's Largo was the first
song with the organ accompani-
ment. which proved particularly ef-
fective. making a beautiful back
ground for the singers voice. The
organ accompaniment was partic-
ularly happy in this number, the
Credo from "Otello." and My Love
Of Londonderry" a more joyous ver-
sion of the Londonderry Air, ar
ranged by Helen Boardman Knox.
The third group was a group OF
German songs. ranging from the
tender Blu bist SO jung" to the
braggart "Ded Rattenfanger, the
first. by Erich Wolff, and the Sec
ond by Hugo Wolff Two Strauss

LEAGUE WILL
HEAR FRENCH
PLEA MONDAY
Is Moving for "Teeth" To
Be Placed in Agree
ments for Peace

GENEVA, April 13.-(UP).-
Frances case against the viola
tions of treaties will be put be-
fore the world Monday at the
League of Nations council meet
ing which France has called in
protest against Germany's re-arm-
ing.
The French memorandum dis
patched from Stresa last night
will be the basis for the meeting.
The memorandum states that
much treaty violation is likely to
lead to political confusion and
chaos. 1t will be published tomor-
row.
France intends that. the memo
randum should lead the league to
action and anticipate future
treaty violations by putting teeth
into the league covenant and pro-
vide prompt economic, commercial
and financial penalties against
treaty vioIaters,. backed by secur-
ity agreements which would mean
military action against an aggres-
sor.
1t was expected that Poland
would defend Germany in the
league meeting to prevent action.
The leagues resolutions require a
unanimous vote for passage.
