Grebes, like the looms and other
diving birds, are expert in making
their escape by swimming under
water, coming up some distance
from where you saw them go under
Flying to evade trouble does not
appeal to the grebes. though they
are strong, swift flyers.
During the counting days the head
has handsome crest or ruff. The
plumage is smooth, compact and
halrlike, and after careful groom
ing, the well-dressed bird is very
handsome, indeed, in its waterproof
coat.
The American cared grebe is about
IA inches long and a dusky color
above, white below. During the
summer the parents have long, fan
shaped ear tufts of very fine feath-
ers and these are a lovely golden
brown. The crown, chin, throat and
neck are soft, deep black and the
upper parts dusky. The eyes are red
and the lids orange.
During the winter the ear tufts
disappear and the crown and narrow
band on the back of the neck and
upper parts are a gray-dusky with
white sides and f1anks tinged with
gray. This is an ideal color camou-
flage for the winter months.
These birds prefer floating nest.
A platform made of reeds and the
close growing vegetation about them,
to which the nursery is anchored, is
usually af1oat upon shallow water of
the ponds, lakes or lagoons favored
by the grebes. There are from four
to six rather soiled-looking eggs laid
upon the platform.
Western North America is the
range of these birds. They breed
from Central British Columbia,
Great Slave Lake, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba south to Southern Cali
fornia, Northern Arizona, Northern
Nebrask and Northern Iowa

covering of the eggs with the partly
soaked mattress.
The eggs are not left during the
night, enemies and the danger OF
their becoming chilled no doubt be-
Ing the reason. When the sun is
high the rays assist in keeping the
eggs warm and the parents are well
aware of this.
The youngsters, after slight
pause to fluff their birthday clothes,
take view of the world of which
they have so recently become part,
peer over the edge of their raft and
take nose-dive and one that would
do justice to an old timer.

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.
Building

DuAANAAAS
We should build a little every day. r
Make progress and our experience will pay
Us in dividends proportionate to what put in.
Don't put off till tomorrow, but begin.
Oak trees from acorns do survive,
Send their roots deep enough and keep alive,
Find proper nourishment so in the end
They grow strong and on themselves depend.
We can get examples from nature everywhere
Look around and see how they have care,
For God never forgets any of His creation.
It's and demands little demonstration.
Everyone has had manifestation
Of Gods goodness and there should be hesitation
On our part where strength does lie,
AS right requests receive a ready reply.
If we stop building any day
Our work mounts up, because didn't obey,
And in the end have double to pay,
Retributon many to in their bed lay
Build so you grow in strength and grace,
Be able always to take your place.
When duty means sacrifice, accept the call,
Never be afraid you may stumble and fall.
Having laid your foundation, time will show
Whether your deeds were worthy and you did grow
Into stawart who Withstand
Any casualty because God holds your hand
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-10-20

tian, following Henderson, was
added. Goodman claims he wants
to have the best band possible to
assemble, and he chose Christian

"they are the best on their respec-
tive instruments" In addition,
Lionel Hampton is an outstanding
member of the Goodman company.

Siding in with Benny was Jimmy
Dorsey, among others. He said:
Frankly, / think Benny should be

81 have a very good idea of the
criticism to which he'll be subject
ed, for it will be remembered that
for nearly a year we had June
Richmond as vocalist with my
band. 1 also think it would be
presumptuous for any leader to tell
Benny he is jeopardizing his pro-
fessional future, for offhand l can't
think of any leader doing better
than Benny. To my mind, the ques-
ton resolves itself to one of style.
/ feel my present Instrumentation,
without Negro talent, expresses my
style best. If Goodman feels he
can better express his bands style
with colored artists, more power
to him. If anyone can make a
mixed band acceptable to the pub

Woody Herman pointed out that

The Difference
Between Kuhn and
! COughlin
Editorial from Louisville Defender

Editorial from Louisville Defender
A Phil Hunter, writing to the
editor of the Louisville Times last
week, expressed an opinion that
Fritz Kuhn (leader of the Ameri-
an-German Bund), is less odious
and far less dangerous to Ameri-
can ideals and adolescent suscepti-
bility than (Father) Coughlin. /"
His attempts to explain by pointing
out that Coughlin has hate and ran
cor for American institutions.
Several weeks before Mr.. Hun
ter's letter was printed in the daily
paper, we said that Kuhn was be-
coming odious and implied that
there was no person more deserv-
ing Of the hate of Americans than
he was. For this reason, if for no
other, we are almost forced to take
exception to Mr.. Hunters conclu-
sion, as he seemed to be answering
our opinion.
First, we will say that what Mr..
Hunter said about Father Coughlin
is no doubt true, at least within
certain limitations. However, that
Fritz Kuhn hates everything that
is American except that part which
aligns itself with his odious organi-
cation is obviously true. And here
we hasten to say that simply be-
cause an individual hates people
and things about him does not nee
essarily mean that he is hated by
them in return.
Father Coughlin is often disgust
ing and offensive to one group and
again to another, just as is any IA
matte who has facilities to get his
lopsided opinions before any large
number of people. But just as with
other fanatics, Father Coughlin
only talks; he does nothing, and the
things which he says to the multi
tude this week are forgotten this
week, except those often uncon-
nected excerpts which are retained
by critical individuals for purposes
of criticism and argument. In
America one listens freely to all
kinds of propaganda and hence re-
mains unbesmirched. Father Cough
lin can do no harm. He has become
as another cult leader who has and
will have a following. But that is
all.
On the other hand, Fritz Kuhn
embodies all that is odious to loyal
Americans. Almost the antithesis
of Coughlin, Kuhn does things. The
people he talks to are not free
thinking Americans, but people who,
like himself, are working for the
cause and furtherance of an I'M
friendly, if not hostile nation. If
the Bund, which Kuhn heads, lives
up to an oath which obviously must
pledge certain allegiance to Ger
many, the Bund members can be no
better than spies and traitors. The
only difference is that Bund mem
bers have freedom of movement

Woody, in making the statement,
gathered his band around him and
they drafted his quotation togeth-
er. All felt the same way.
Other comments:
ARTIE SHAW: TITS most unfortunate
that there are still promoters who book
bands on appearance. Every bandleadsr

boys in the band in a minute If they had
the talent-and a great deal of them have. -

CASPER REARDON: Good for Benny
I'm for him. His ideas are like mine. If

whether it's going TO go over depends on

admire Benny's musical taste in adding
these men. l also think his using Negroes
to buck all these good swing bands that
are coming along TO crowd him out of
the imelight- More power to Benny"
Asked for opinions, several other
"big name" leaders and side men
refused to be quoted. Interviews
with the majority, however, indi-
cate that great progress has been
made in the last five years in re-
gard to equality of races in the
music field. Several leaders, in
fact, said they believed that with
in two more years, use Of colored
artists in white bands will be ac-
cepted everywhere in the States. :"
All gave credit to Goodman for
effecting the change.
