BY Alice Eversman.

The Victor company has come
forward this month with welcome
new angle in the type of works re-
leased. First, there Is complete
version of Stravinsky's "Petrouchka"
available, then a performance Of
Lekeu's Sonata In G Major" by
Yehudi and Hepzibah Menuhin, and
the Suite for Viola and Piano" by
Ernest Bloch, here recorded by Will
liam Primrose and Fritz Kitzinger.
These three works represent wide
divergence of thought and form,
and, coming at one time, they are
stimulating TO hear.
Since the music OF ''Petrouchka "
was written for a ballet under Di-
aghilev's encouragement, the music
has never seemed appropriate for
concert performances in its entirety
and has been used mostly in ex-
cerpts for symphonic programs.
Now, however, Leopold Stokowski
and the Philadelphia Orchestra play
the entire work in beautiful fashion,
and it proves to be as exciting and
colorful number without the decor
of the ballet as anything written
exclusively for orchestra.
Because of its highly descriptive
character, which is made under
standable by the mining of the
ballet, the Victor people have given
out a detailed account of the story.
With this it is possible to follow
the recording with the utmost en-
| joyment and thereby have as much
pleasure As If at an actua! perform
ance. But ii is questionable if such
program notes are necessary. for
with some idea of the story on which
it is based this charming and whim-
| steal music speaks for itself. eSps-
cially when played so superbly as it
is done by the Philadelphia Orches-
, ira.
In quite another vein is the lovely
sonata by Guillaume Lekeu, which
has the most sympathetic interpre-
tiers in the brother and sister artists

Two Years - and the Third

To the creators of the Greenbelt cooperator we
all a heavy debt of gratitude. On this, our
the work they did and the vision they had.
It is no easy task for professional journalists
to set up successful paper in any small town.
paper for this brand town with its committing
stacles.
Problems of financing, circulation makeup, staff
organization and policy we're met by the founders
without much help from outside examples OF previous
experience. A democratic, cooperative community
newspaper a new and mtr1ed step. The whole
thing experiment but it conceived in
steadfast faith.
These two years that followed the first issue
have been years of further experimenting. Every
thing the and the policy have been changed
succesdv eH tors and staffs sought adul thood
for the infant publication. The several changes in
form and content reflect the influence of the demo-
cratic control various ideas and opinions strove
for recognition. It is important to remember that
the entire population of Greenbelt controls the Co
operator through the journalistic Club in order to
eva1uate the laperis place in the couTnruli ty.
The deci sion made in September to di stribute
copy of the Cooperator to every family in Greebelt
brought financial problems which solved by
putting the entire cost of the paper the adver-
tisers. Citizens have responded well to the IN
creased need for buying from cooperator advertisers,
and the complete town distribut ion be continued.
Our latest change is the new format we have
with this issue. Faced with the pressure of more
than could publish the staff put the former
center margins to work by doubling the size Of the
page. The proposal unanimously approved by the
IS Journalistic Club MEMBERS who attended last Fri
dayis birthday party.
We hope the rest Of the readers viii approve the
size. New ideas will continue be incorporat-
ed from time to time with Club approval during the
coming year forward towards concep-
tim of what this paper would be in order to ad-
equately Greenbelt.
The thing that will not be changed--the
feature that should be changed-is the poll
cy. So long publication realms free from
control of any individual specta1-interest
group this continue to be non-profit enter
prise, partisan in politics, neutral in reltgi
ous matters, and open forum for civic affairs.

A MASTER OF SITUATION

To the Editor:
I shoul d like to commend Chairman Bargas Of the
Citizens ii for his competent handling of
the difficult situation precipitated at the meeting
Of Monday, November -.
The position of Chairman in any democratic dis
cussion group is a crucial in the constant
struggle to maintain that free atno sphere in M Oh
discussion leads to progressive action. Myself and
several people wi tn whom have discussed the events
of that meeting, all agreed that Mr.. Bargas did
just those things necessary to allow full airing of
the raised and afforded his meeting the oppor-
tunity to separate prejudiced from clear thinking.
This done, the meeting arrived at the logical judg
ment and left doubt to how it felt.
In such hands feel that deci sions arrived at by
the Citizens Association Will have merit and weight
in community affairs ard it is to be hoped that the
potse and good Judgment shown by Chairman Bargas at
his first meeting in that capacity will be carried
when the issues Of more moment, If less dra-
matte.

Have You Paid Your Taxes?

The tax hearings Monday night before the Town
Council offer the reminder that only another week
remains for payments u thout penalty. Taxes, which
as inevitable death, must be paid sometime,
why not
Proper ty tax is admittedly not the fairest type
of taxatio on, but income tax is barred by state
Law. In a community of this sort, where incomes are
nearly even, could almost urge equal taatt on

Hog Cost Study
Reveals Effect Of
Lower Prices

The lower price for pork during
1888 as compared to the previous
year was reflected in a cost sum-
mary covering 13 hog enterprises
in Imperial county, George VIM
wright, assistant county agent re-
vealed in a report released Satur-
day.
The average selling prices of hogs
on the valley ranches included in
the study was $847 per cwt. as
compared to 1926 one year ago.
Total cost per cwt. of pork, on
the other hand was corresponding
ly higher. In 1888 cost was $7.28 as
compared to a cost $6.73, one year
ago. s..
Under the lower selling price,
however, the average of records on
the valleys enterprises showed a
net profit of $119 per cwt. Profit
a year ago totaled $273. =,.t
Feed, Winwright pointed out, was
the big. item of expense, costing
about $500 per cwt. Feed costs
represented SO per cent of all cost.
