 KNOWS FOUR-BIT
 WORDS, TOO
 "Too many bands, at present, are offering monotonous blasts of repetitious musical phrases, rather than original instrumental impro- visations and harmonic variations, Y" he says.
 Both Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton, the Negro pianist and vibraphonist of the Benny Good man quartet, still play the type of swing music that Ellington says is disappearing, The only way this music was preserved for posterity was through recordings, later tram scribed to paper. They seldom play a chorus the same way twice.
 The Negro musicians were also responsible for the mutes now used by nearly every brass in- strumentalist in swing bands. They started using their hands; derby hats, wash plungers, and other objects to muffle and distort the sound of their instruments to obtain primitive melodic effects. OTHER DUSKY
 SWINGSTERS
 Most popular of the Negro bands the majority of which play in the Harlem" swing style so effectively copied by Goodman, is that led by Count (BilD Basic, the Kansas City pianist. This bands fame and popularity is partly due to the boosting of Goodman. It also happens to be the same one that once was led

Patrons Choice Decides Question Of Legal "Meal'

The Connecticut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers association decided last night that a sandwich or full course dinner will be considered a meal within the scope of the liquor law requiring the service of meal with liquors on Sunday.
 The state law required that no liquor shall be served without a meal on Sunday, but no clear defi- milton of what constitutes meal has ever been given officially. The associations board of directors voted to advise its members as follows:
 Any restaurant, hotel or club, so equipped as to pass the inspec- tion of the liquor commission and issued a permit to operate as @ restaurant, hotel or club, ready and prepared to serve all dishes on its menu that patrons may select, be- lieve it is entirely at the patrons discretion what may constitute a meal at the time of selection, whether it be a sandwich or a full course dinner"

CRAFT AND RELIEF DRISCOLL'S TOPIC

A group of ten persons who are making a study of present economic conditions in New England was ad- dressed last night at the Central YMCA by John J. Driscoll, executive secretary of the Waterbury Brass Workers union. MT. Driscoll's topic was Graft and Relief in Water bury" The study group, consisting mostly of school teachers who expect to write or teach on the results of their survey, spent the night at the Hotel Kingsbury. This morning 1t was to interview John H. Goss, af- ter inspecting the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, and then to leave for Middletown to interview workers and employees of the Remington Rand Go.

recorded nine years ago, Is as swingy as any recording of the song turned out since then. Benny Goodman, the acclaimed 'King of Swing" received his in- spiration from recordings like these and the band that Henderson di- rected before the depression set in. He contends that the Henderson band of 10 years ago was the great est swing aggregation ever assem- bled.
 HE'S A NATURAL
 "ARRANGER"
 Swing bands today are still using the arrangements Henderson turned out for that band. When Goodman organized his own band, which brought swing music to the atten- ton of the public four years ago, he turned to Henderson for ar engagements. Henderson produced the swing versions of Sometimes I'm Happy" Blue Skies" and Blue Room," three of Goodman's peren- nially favorite numbers.
 Henderson, who halls from Geor- Sld, lo OilC OA OllC All6lHy Cuu- cated of the swing kings He speaks French and German fluently, had six years of Latin and two of Greek. and studied mathematics, including trigonometry and calculus. But he says he arranges naturally, never having studied any musical theory. He jots down notes while riding in subway or watching ball game
 Henderson composed such rhyth- mic ditties as "Doo Doodle Oom," "Dicty Blues" Sugar Foot Stomp" and What You Call 'Um Blues" His latest swing classic is thing called christopher Columbus, 7" which his current band uses for it's theme song.
 ELLINGTON
 ELUCIDATES
 Duke Ellington, another of the great Negro swing composers and leaders, lost the first job he ever had with big band because he wouldn't follow the score in front of him-putting in his own Hicks" when he got a chance.
 Ellington contends that real swing music cannot be written, because it is an emotional element rather than a form of jazz. It does not appear on music sheets, but is produced only by interpretation. A compost ton that swings one night may sound flat and like ordinary jazz on another night.
 Swing, Ellington maintains, is that part of rhythm which pro- duces a bouncing buoyancy stimu- lating the listener to dance and | inspiring creativeness in the per- former. He believes that swing as offered today is inferior to that played about a decade ago, be- cause it is being exploited for

selves as being unusually moved by the effect of the structure after dark. The bridge will be dedicated on Saturday, August 6, with appro- priate exercises.
 Use of aluminium paint on the two spans of the bridge proper has brought the curving outlines into high relief when darkness falls and on moonlight nights the effect is eerie.
 Beautiful Spectacle
 One boat owner, who reached the anchorage in the river at Middle town, after dark summoned his guests to deck before the achor was dropped. They were held by the sight and ever since then they have been taking in the spectacle as oft en as possible.
 Motorists who approach the bridge from the south by way of Water street, Middletown, find the effect almost ghostly, the arches seeming to float whitely against the back ground of the night. From the river the bridge seems to Illuminate the area, so great is the reflection of the silver paint.
 Plans for the celebration on Sat urday, August 6, are taking definite form. There will be water spec tacle in the morning consisting of naval and coast guard vessels, visit ing and local yachts. It is expected that many boat owners from points on Long Island sound will make a weekend cruise up the beautiful and easily navigated Connecticut river.
 Middlesex County
 The parade will consist of thous- ands of marchers, including military, civic and fraternal units, bands. drum corps and floats. One of the features will be the section being planned wherein each of the 15 towns comprising Middlesex county (ConnD will enter an historical float or marching unit.
 The dedicatory exercises will fea- ture his excel1ency, Wilbur L. Cross, governor of Connecticut, who will make the address, and will review the parade.
 In the evening there will be band concerts, dances and fireworks.
 The new bridge, when opened for public use, will be free. There are no toll bridges in Connecticut.
