SERIOUS MUSIC URGED
FOR JAZZ ON RADIO
Steady Diet Held Too Much for
America by Columbia Uni


~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November "a sug-
eestion that some Of the swing, slide,
Jazz and other "hot" tunes that now
agitate the air might well be replaced
by more serious music was made yes
terday by Miles A. Dresskell, assistant
professor of music at Teachers Col
lege, American University.
Prof. Dresskell said Jazz has made
Q valuable contribution to American
music, but:
'I feel that radio listeners should
also nave more opportunity to hear
better music on the air. A steady
diet Of jazz will not elevate the
musical tone of the Nation"
Anyway, he said, the best jazz Il

CITIZENS PLAN
EMERGENCY
ROADWAY

MCLEAN, Va, Aug. despite
refusal of the Fairfax Country
board of supervisors to grant a
committee representing the Great
Falls and Old Dominion Highway
Association permission to use
parts of the abandoned rightS-of-
way of the Washington and Old
Dominion Railroad as a roadbed,
citizens are going ahead with plans
to remove the ties from the bed
so that it may serve as an emer-
gency road during bad weather.
With the State highway depart
ment already having improved the
road between CheSterbrook and
EI Nido, and planning to improve
about one more mile between
Selva Station and the Chain
Bridge Road at Mclean, citizens
say that if individuals remove
some of the ties and grade the
cinder bed, many residents who
otherwise would be stranded in
severe weather will have an
emergency exit over which they
can reach an improved road.
G.. wallace Carper, a member
Of the board of supervisors and
also of the road association COM
mittee, said the citizens did not
consider the county had any
jurisdiction over the right-of-way
as a road, since they are power
less to construct roads under the
Byrd road law. He said these
citizens are planning to do the
necessary work on this road
within the next 10 days.
Although some citizens at
tempted to call a meeting of the
road association last night, it did
not materialize. There is a meet
ing scheduled for August II at 8
D. M, in the CheSterbrook School.
It is expected the State Highway
Department will be asked to take
over the whole strip between the
Arlington county line and Great
Falls and develop it.

ity, he became a captain in only
seven years and was assigned to
command of No. IS Engine Com
pany in Tenleytown.
A fireman rarely sees good in a
fire, but Captain McLane believes
the fire of 1897 which destroyed
the Capital Traction Company
power house, located where the
District Building now stands, was
of inestimable service to the city.
For in those days all street cars
were operated by cables, and with
the powerhouse gone the cables
were useless. So the company
changed over to the electrically
driven street cars, giving greater
speed and reliability.
Captain McLane is eligible for
the Society of Natives and Oldest
Inhabitants Association. having
been born in the District in 1866.
For the past 81 years he has re-
sided in the same house at 1856
Potomac Ave. S. E.
Next month Captain and Mrs.
McLane will celebrate their forty
fourth wedding anniversary.

VOTE MACHINE
PURCHASE
SOUGHT

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. 7.-Au-
thority to advertise for bids on
the installation Of voting ma
chimes in two election districts Of
Montgomery county will be re-
quested of the Board Of County
Commissioners by the Board Of
Election Supervisors at a meeting
here Tuesday.
Purchase of the 35 mechanical
vote tabulators was approved by
the election board at a meeting
this week, but before bids can
be sought or the deal conSum-
mated, approval Of the county
commissioners must be obtained.
Thirty-five of one type of ma
chine examined by the commits
sioners and the election board will
cost the county Appropriately $685.
900, while the required number
of another make examined by
them will run somewhat higher,
it was said.
A demonstration of both types
Of machine was given county Of
ficials here last week. One is
hand-operated, while the other is
electrically operated.
While the county commissioners
had favored the installation of
the machines up until last week,
after the demonstration, three
members of the five-man board ex-
perienced a change Of heart and
expressed a desire to delay their
purchase until 1887 or 1888.
Commissioner Paul M. Cough
Ian declared that while installa-
ton of the machine system OF
voting would net the county a
saving as compared with the paper
ballot at the general election in
November, this would be slight
compared to the saving that could
be made if the State legislature
would authorize consolidation OF
many voting precincts in the two
election districts affected by the
change and elimination OF unnec-
essary election clerks and judges
F.. Byrne Austin, Democratic
member of the board of perma,
nent registration of voters, urged
the commissioners to take imme,
diate steps to advertise for bids
on the voting machines, after the
demonstration, but this they re-
fused to do. Election officials hope
to have the machines installed in
the congeSted Bethesda and
Wheaton election districts by the
November election.
Although the election board will
appear before the commissioners
Tuesday seeking their approval OF
the purchase, since Frank H
Karn, president of the county
board, and Commissioner Charles
E. King are in accord with Mr.
Coughlan'S wishes in the matter
it is unlikely permission will be
granted at this time.

WILDCATS CLOSE
GRIDIRON SEASON

With the taking Of the squad pic
ture, the Wildcat football season ofici-
ally closed Wednesday, Nov. 4. Ten
seniors checked in their uniforms for
the last time. Victories over their old
rivals, Crosby, Culbertson. Scobey and
Sidney and a tie with Williston marks
n of the most successful gridiron
seasons that any Plentywood team has
ever enjoyed. An off day, when the
rhythm of the team meant the NEST,
cost the Wildcats their only defeat and
also lost them an undisputed claim to
the division title.
Starting On what was believed to be
a suicide ~schedula, the Wildcats
proved their mettle by holding Will
liston to a tie and defeating Sidney iii
a last-half rally. From there on the
Cats gained power but a stiff htdule
finally caught up with mem at Wolf
Point when everything the Plentywood
gridders did was wrong. In their final
game they again proved their power
by playing almost fanltlcss ball to de-
feat Culbertson Tor the first time in
Plentywood- Culbertson football his
tory.
Four of the ten seniors, Lund,
Boulds, Collins and Ewing played their
first football for the Wildcats when
they were freshmen. These four are
three-yea lettermen. Hopkins, a trans
fer from North Dakota, proved his all
conference rating in the Dakota school
by turning in some fine football in all
games played. Medders, another senior,
was one of the outstanding tackles in
the division. Zeitner, with no previous
football experience, showed himself to
be one of the best defensive men on
the squad. Floyd Marsh, a reserve
tackle, handled his assignments cap
ably. Aakhus and Strubeck, reserve
linemen, were the remaining seniors
On the squad.
Fourteen members of the squad re-
main for next years team.
For onc the injury jinx seemed to
have left the lair of the Cats. Not one
disabling injury was experienced in
the six games played.
