Action of the Masonic Grand Lodge

surprise here and some regret on the
part of many who have found the an

Henderson people for a great many
years were among the best patrons of
ST. Johns Day, and looked forward
to it with a great deal of interest ana
pleasure as q time for renewing old
acquaintance and making new ones
st. Johns Day has been a feature
of the year at the Oxford Orphanage
for more than half a century, or since
1872. 1t was sponsored by the North
Carolina Grand Lodge of Masons
which owns the orphanage, and ses-

held in connection with the event, to-

One Bid For
Post Office;
More Later
Henderson Grocery
Offers Old Ware
house Building On
Montgomery St.

One bona fide bid for temporary
quarters for the Henderson post office
was opened when bids were received
at the post office here Thursday aft
ernoon, it was stated today by Post
master j. r. league, and that one was
from the Henderson Grocery Com
pany, offering the warehouse build
ing on East Montgomery street for
merly occupied by the Rose 5-10-25c
Stores Company. He said, however.
that there would be two and possibly
three more today or tomorrow.
The lid included the making of ex-
tensive repairs to the property to con-
dition it for post office uses.
1t is expected that some definite
action will be taken in the matter of
a lease, so that work may begin at
an early date on the extensive enlarge
ment program at the present post Of
flee.
Bids were asked on the lease of
property for not less than eight
months, with the provision that ex-
tensions of one month at the time
would be possible.
There was no information today as
to the exact amount of money to be
spent in enlarging the post office and
in renovating the present structure.
Nor was there definite advice as to
when the work would be started, al
though it is expected to get under way
at an early date.

day from the full story of their ten
day entombment
DR.. Robertson, practicing his pro-
fession as physician even through his
own danger, helped Scadding keep
alive, and held Herman Magill in his
arms when the third man died.
Conserved Strength.
Patiently and quietly the two sur
vivors conserved their strength, fac
ing their dangers sensibly and work
ing to overcome them until the miners
of the tunneling rescue crew finally
arrived.
Only today, when DR.. Robertson
was recovering rapidly in an emer-
gency hospital here, and Scadding was
being treated in the Halifax hospital,
to which he was flown, was the whole
dramatic story learned.
Four sharp cracks like giant rifle
shots warned the three men of ap-
preaching disaster Easter Sunday
night while they were making an in
Spection tour of the mine.
Magill, already ill when he entered
the mine, was too sick to worry about
the chances for rescue. His two COM
panions, during the first five days of
their imprisonment, saw little chance
of rescue. s
While Magill,, !. 80 years old, sue
cumbed, the 62-year-old DR.. Robertson
contracted cold, and Scadding, a.
year-old time keeper. suffered from
trench feet. They lost surprisingly lit
tie weight, however, because they had
plenty of drinking water.

The Washington times., 1936-12-21

: By CARL L. DENIES ---.'
The term music lover is so
frequently used in referring to
those who attend with some de-
gree of regularity many Of the ma
jor music attractions given in
Washington, but does this mean
simply those who sit back and en-
joy music without making any ef.
fort to enjoy the participation OF
music in an amateur way?
For anyone to get the most out
of a concert given by great artists,
he must be able to perform to
some degree on some instrument.
The zest of amateur participation
in orchestraS and choruSeS has
raised the music appreciation level
of thousands of communities to a
high degree. We have seen COM
munities of no more than 5000
population support an oratorio
chorus Of 100 good voices.
Where such widespread amateur
participation is in evidence. visit
ing artists are patronized to the
capacity Of the hall. When our
Washington service bands go out
on tour, they meet everywhere
crowded houses, with some audi
ences numbering recently up to
$4,000.
The striking fact that only one
church chorus of modest size in all
of Washington has risen to the
heights of giving even a portion of
Handel's Messiah" speaks in a
most eloquent manner Of the utter
barren musical spot that is in the
District of Columbia.
In city the size of Washington
there should be a number of ca
pable oratorio and choral societies
able to render creditable perform
ances of the Messiah" Elijah"
or Creation In the past, when
ever anyone has had the courage
to attempt to assemble a large
chorus for oratorio production, the
anvil chorus has always set up such
a fearful din that little has ever
come Of the efforts.
In the midst of such a dark mu-
sical setting, Louis Potter must be
highly commended for his pres
entation of the first part Of
Handel's Messiah" yesterday aft
ernoon at the Calvary Methodist
Episcopal Church. With a chorus
of about 40 voices, including the
Young Peoples Choir, and a small
orchestra of about IA pieces, TO-
gether with piano and organ, a
most acceptable performance was
given of this famous oratorio.
Some Of the violins may have
missed leads in the overture, the
tenor section in the chorus may
have missed a lead, and at times,
various sections may have been
rather weak in making entrances,
The Washington times., 1936-12-21

but themost gratifying fact is that
an earnest attempt was made with
the material at hand to present
this Christmastide masterpiece.
Louis Potter, organist and mus
ical director of the Calvary Meth
odist Episcopal Church, directed
the production from the podium.
while Lyman McCrary, organiSt
of the National Christian Church,
presided at the organ and Eliza
beth Meininger was at the piano.
The solo parts were taken by Ruby
Potter, soprano; Bertha Morgan,
contralto; Luther White. tenor.
and Charles Trowbridge Tittman,
bass.
When about 20 more music
directors emulate the example fur.
nished by Mr.. Potter, and as many
more church choruses work on
real oratorio music, there may be
possibilities of large general ora
to11o chorus for Washington. The
main reasons most directors give
for falling to attempt such music
include the idea that it takes a
chorus Of 200 or more voices to
give oratorio, and also the mis-
taken notion that the average
chorus cannot learn the music.
Of course it would take work
this is the real reason.
Speaking of work in music-the
press agents Of Carole Lombard
claim that she has learned to sing
in just six weeks of training. Too
bad that practically all other
artists must spend years and
years to learn to sing. AL Siega.,
Paramount voice coach, could
probably coin money by selling a
correspondence course in singing.
The U. S. Army Band, Capt.
Thomas F. Darcy directing, will
give the following program this
evening at 6 o'clock in the band
auditorium Of the War College:

GERRYMANUERING

Did you think Postmaster Gene raj
Farley was calling the Republicans by
some new term Of opprobrum when he
said they retained control CT New York
State by former gerrymandering? %
Well. he wasn't. Gerrymander means to
divide state. county or other political
division into election districts in such a
way as to give political party an advan
tage over its opponent. 1t IS recognized
as perfectly good word which was coin
ed about 1872 by Benjamin Russell,
newspaper editor. The gerry" was ia
ken from the name Of Gov EIbridge
Gerry. of Massachusetts in whose ad-
mlpistra'i ion the first such division of
districts took place Some critic had
said that new election district was
stretched out so long that 1t looked
like salamander. Russell retorted: 1T
looks to me more like a Gerrymander"
