Beacon Falls, Nov. 17-Louis Gre
leila Is the choice of the democratic
town committee to fill the office OF
deputy sheriff. The death Of Peter
Kaminski, Jr., left a position va
cant, but this has been filled so no
Immediate appointment from Bea-
con Falls Is expected.
Whoever is appointed here will
not have court work to do as did Mr..
Kaminski. His duties vii lbe serving
OF papers and warrants.
Election Every Two Years
An effort to have the town cleo
tions held here every two years in
stead Of annually, an dto have both
major political parties represented
on the board Of assessors and the
board Of relief may be made at the
special town meeting to be held to-
morrow night at 1880 in the town
hall.
Those who favor the election
every two years instead Of annu-
ally as at present point out 1t would
save money to the town and also
would probably result In more eff
cient service In that often the new
ofiicials are just becoming used to
the duties of the Office when an
other election is held.
II is hoped to have measure
approved by which both parties
would be represented on the boards
Of relief and of assessors. At pres
cnt there are three members on the
board, all republicans. Under the
suggeshted plan there would be one
republican and one democrat on 1t.
Nomination would be equivalent
TO election. These matters are like
~ tU be presented at tomorrow's
meeting and II approved they will
be offered In the forms Of bills to
the state legislature.
In view Of the interest In these
matters IL Is expected there will be

His companions followed but
were careful not to place them
selves directly under him for fear
of being caught by the falling ma
terial which, under Doniphan's
feet, was detaching itself from

CHAPTER XI
Doniphan was the first to put
his feet on the crest of the cliff,
the others arriving shortly after
him.
Already Doniphan was moving
his telescope over the forest which
stretched as far as the eye could
see toward the east.
He saw the same panorama Of
foliage and sky which Briant had
observed from the top of the cape,
not quite so deep, however, since
the cape dominated the cliff for
over a hundred feet.

Doniphan.

That is quite natural, for the
cliff is not as high as the promon-
tory, which naturally diminishes
your line of vision. If we were
at the height I was at, the blue
line would appear about or 7
miles away. You would see it
where I said it was. It's impoS-
Sible to confuse it with a bank of
clouds"
That's easy to say!" observed
Wilcox.
"And quite as easy to prove"
answered Briant. LET us walk
over the plateau of the cliff, cross
the forest. and go on until we
have arrived. >"

The first mile was covered rap
idly on grass-covered ground that
offered easy walking. But when
Briant and his comrades had gone
over the high plateau, they had
difficulty getting down again on
the opposite side of the cliff, al
most as high and as steep as on
the side Of the bay. However,
half-dried river-bed.' the sinuosities
of which made up for the sharp
ness Of the slopes, gave them the
path they needed.
In the forest walking became
harder. Hardy, entangled plants
and high grasses grew in profu-
sion. Fallen trees INSTRUCTED the
way and the boys had to cut their
way through thick underground.
Their arms became tired, for they
had to use their hatchets inces-

It might help our political arguments good deal if we could understand, and for all, that stream never rise any higher than its source.
 That is 10 say that it is foolish of to expect any thing more from our government in the way of ntell- igence tolerance and foresight than we the great body of undstinguished voters, are willing to give it.
 It can't go above level If it does, the chances that ruhlessly shall yank it back down at the first opportunity Washington is reflection of Main St
 All this is brought mind by reading of the set of principles approved at the recent National Progress Slve Conference in Chicago.
 The last item the list of objectives for progress siVe voters reads like this:
 ''The right of every American to live under gov enment strong enough to suppress the lawless, wise enough beyond the selfish desires of the moment and just enough to consider the welfare of the people as a whole"
 That is noble objective It is we'll to reaffirm that every American has that right, and to insist that the reality at Washington come as close to the ideal is humanly possible.
 But to do so it will be necessary for us to remem- Der constantly that river cannot rise above it's sour ce-that government never will be any better than the people as a whole want il to be,
 For we, the people are the government. Our con- Stitution sklfully des gned to make us When we demand strength wisdom, and justice for our gov- ernment simply are demanding those qualities for ourselves contrariWse, the very forces which assail the government and occasionally prevent it from ciSing those qualities come also from ourselves.
 The government must be strong enough to sup press lawessness-as, for instance during prohibition when the laWlessness of booteggng drew its support directly from the great mass of citizenry?
 The government must be wise enough to see be- yond the selfish desires of the momen-as for instance in 1928 and 1929, whn any attempt at Washington to curb the runaway boom would have drawn from all of the land blast strong enough to level the walls of Jericho?
 The government must be just enough to consider the welfare of all the people-When the people, all ac- he to make that their problems shall receive at- tenton before the problems of the nation as whole?
 The problems of democracy are many, but none is greater than ths that democracy calls on indivd- ua citizens to give to their government strength wisdom, and tolerance greater than they ordinarily know they possess themselves
 Democratic government is mirror in which the common sees his virtues and his failings To improve it must start at the very bottom-witf ourselves-Exchange.

Westminster Chorus
Acclaimed as Best
In United States

One Of the best, If not the best
choral organization this country
affords was heard last night by q
large audience at Armstrong High
School Auditorium, when the
Westminster Chorus under the
direction of DR.. John Finley
Williamson gave a concert using
several works written for and used
exclusively by this marvellous
chorus.
In referring to the Westminster
Chorus as the best chorus of the
country, the only possible con
testant for this honor might be
the st. Olaf's Chorus under the
direction of DR.. MeliuS Christen
sen. But the St. Olaf's Chorus
has never programmed such am
bilious music as was heard last
night.
The first and second sections
of last nights program were un'
like anything commonly used by
any other a capella chorus. The
Choral Symphony" composed for
the Westminster Chorus by Roy
Harris, marks a new step in
choral music. The work is in eff.
feet a vocal symphony in three
parts.
The many difficult passages for
the various voices contained in
this symphony may be performed
only by singers who are musicians
Of the same calibre as symphony
orchestra performers. Needless
to say, this organization is one OF
the very few that could hope to
master this work.
The first movement, Song for
All Seas, All Ships contained an
elaborate development section by
the female voices, while the male
voices gave an accompaniment
limiting the reStleSsneSS Of the sea.
The second movement, Tears" "
was as the title would indicate,
slow and sad with the BASES
furnishing a background Of
spoken words,-"tears" repeated
relentleSSly. This background is
an idea borrowed by the composer
from the ancient Greek Theatre
The final movement, "Instrip-
ton" was in a happy mood, NOV
ing at times with considerable
speed in a triple fugue form which
latter is rare indeed. The audi
ence was at once conscious of the
fact that a new and wonderful art
form in music had been presented
in their hearing and the storm of
applause called for an encore. In
response to this token of apprecia,
ton, DR.. Williamson gave a song
without words, Celestial Voices" "
The marvellous organ-like effect of
this encore was one of the most
beautiful vocal effects this critic
has eyer heard.
There followed a group Of light
works, including Water Boy "a
Robinson), "Whoopee-T-Yi-Yo,"
The Washington times., 1936-11-11

Chorus closed the concert with the
traditional benediction.
The greatest regret Of the whole
concert was the thought that this
Westminster Chorus, the finest
product of our ensemble vocal
art. is not presented regularly in
Constitution Hall to capacity
audiences. The music public OF
Washington is notoriously lacking
in appreciation of vocal ensemble
concerts.
Here is a chorus that has given
800 concerts in this country; has
sung with the Philadelphia and
New York Philharmonic SYM
phony OrchestraS; has toured
Europe twice with the greatest Of
acclaim, but the washington pub
lie does not seem to realize the
enormity of its neglect in failing
to support such chorus.
The Ballet Russo de Monte Car.
10 with the National Symphony
Orchestra, will give the first of
two performances here tonight at
Constitution Hall at $3.50 o'clock.
The Orchestra will move into the
pit, turning the stage over to Col.
w. de Basil's 100 dancers.
The program tonight will in
clude three ballets: "Symphonique
Fantastique," (Berlioz; Lake Of
Swans" (Tschaikowsky); and
Prince Igor" (Borodin).
