RecitalS are usually attended for
the greater part by the relatives and
friends Of the performers, but the
concert given Wednesday night
under the auspices Of the Imperial
Valley Music Teachers association.
was characterized by the presence
not only Of those interested in the
individual students but of the gen.
eral public as well.
A large audience filled Wilson
school and at least so of those COM
posing it were in no way connected
with the performers but came be-
cause they were interested in seeing
the work of the serious students. In
addition there were large delcga-
tons from the various cities in the
valley present.
This concert is an annual one at
which the members of the music
teachers association present to their
students who have earned them, the
certificates of merit awarded by
the California Music Teachers
doopbliOiOll.
Reward for Study
These certificates are tangible
reward for the steady continuance
of musical education, only those
pupils who have studied continue
ously during the musical season
being eligible to receive them. If
lessons have been missed, they must
be made up if the individual wishes
to earn a certificate.
The presentation is a public one as
the association wishes to give the
younger students a chance To an
opportunity to appear belCfe a
larger audience and to let the
public know something of the type
of work done by the really serious
students of music.
Many of the students have gone
already for the summer holidays
but those who are in the valley
were present to receive their certi-

Registrations for the Camp Fire
summer camp at Lake Cuyamaca,
Camp Wolahi, are coming in rapidly
and in all probability a large dele
cation of Ell Centre girls will attend

tricia Jones, Jeanne Stanton, Jean
Maitland, Lenna Arnold and Patrl-
cha Bucklin have registered. Number
of other girls registered directly
with the camp.
San Diego county has made it
possible for Ell Centre girls to use
the camp and considerable improve
ment have been made which will
widen the scope of the camps actiV-
tiles and permit increased enroll
ment. Registration is coming III
to such an extent that the camp
will soon be filled and Mrs. Nc
Climans has advised local girls to
make their reservations at once.

The name of the camp, "Wolahi',
means "place of woods, lakes and
hills" and is highly appropriate to
the camp site. There is an attrac-
tive lodge which served as a rec
reation center and dining room
while located among the pines and
cedars about the lodge are the tents,
all equipped with wooden floors,
which arc the sleeping quarters for
campers AMI councillors.
Two well equipped craft houses
provide plenty of opportunity to
meet the interests of the girls, while
for sports, the swimming pool, the
council ring. the shaded bride paths
and interesting mountain trails Of
fer diversion.
Health precautions include the
requirement that every girl must
have a health certificate filed by
a physician not more than three
days preceding her arrival at camp.

MANY TO SEEK

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 10
G.N.SJ.-Dame Rumor had a field
day in Alabama today as the entire
State speculated upon the success
sor to United States Senator Hugo
Black, provided his nomination to
the United States Supreme Court
is confirmed by the Senate.
Two men already appeared to
be definitely seeking the job. State
Senator Miller Bonner announced
he would be a candidate in case
a special election is held, and DR..
L. L. Hill, former Montgomery
physician, declared his son, Con.
gresham Lister Hill, now in Eu-
rope, would be a candidate.
Former Senator Tom Helm, of
Lafayette, also is mentioned as a
possible candidate. Helm de-
clined to comment.
Others prominently mentioned
are Congressman Frank w. Boy.

chairman of the State docks COM
mission, and State Senator James
A. Simpson.

Of his plan to make the nomina-
ton of Senator Black a complete
surprise, not only to the country
but to his official family as well.
SPEEDY o. X. SEEN
1t was evident that the President
anticipated no serious opposition
to Senator Blacks confirmation.
He has already received from At
torney General Cummings an in
formal verbal opinion that a va
cancy does exist, Senator Borah's
contention to the contrary not
withStanding, and there is no ques-
ton of Senator Blacks eligibility
because he voted for the Summers
retirement act, which led to JUS
tice Van Devanter's resignation.
Both these questions have been
raised since Blacks nomination,
but constitutionaliSts on both sides
consider them largely academic
and technical.

plane ran into 6O-mile headwinds
today after zooming across the

a message from the Soviet plane,

ported he and his six comrades

The Washington times., 1937-08-13

Although defeated in his initial
effort to reorganize the Court and
add up to six new justices to the
bench, the President nevertheless
feels that with the addition Of new
blood-in the person of Senator
Hugo L. Black, Alabama liberal
he has in large measure accom-
plished what he originally set out
to do. And for that reason he will
not sponsor or press a constitu-
tional amendment at this time
which would curb the courts
powers or increase it's personnel.
OFFER AMENDMENTS
A dozen such amendments are
now slumbering in Congress, most
of them introduced during the
long six months battle over the
original Court plan. Some of them
were sponsored by the Presidents
supporters, others by those who
were violently opposed to his
initial plan.
But when he was asked at his
regular Friday press conference
today whether it was his intention
to press for a constitutional
amendment to further carry out
his ideas of court reform, Mr..
Roosevelt's reply was blunt:
mo"
BY that single word, and the
manner Of its utterance, Mr..
Roosevelt indicated that so far as
the immediate future is concerned
the great court fight is ended.

mood today when he received
newspaper correspondents at his
press conference. Apparently he
