And, since you learn who to pick and what laws
to approve through the newspapers, you can see
how necessary it is to have good newspapers.
If you want to define a good newspaper, you can
say it is one which is free to bring you all sides Of
every question, free to give you both the good and
the bad news about what is going on around you.
Trying to decide how:much such a newspaper is
worh to you is like trying to put a price tag on
your liberty! And I think you'll agree that our
liberty and our right to govern ourselves is a big
penny's worth in a 194O-model world.

Making and selling all the things we need is a
sort of habit in America. A rather good habit, | feel.
But in all this thinking about helping you to get
the most for your money, let's not forget about
your very right to earn and spend and Am in

or five times what you paid for it!
There's no 'magic" about all this. It's just an
American brand of penny %pinching. A long time
ago we learned that one automobile made by hand
cost five or ten thousand dollars, whereas a million
cars-if they were made and sod-cost only five
hundred or so apiece.

1t is perhaps a safe commentary
that before the rather critical COM
position of audience giving ear to
the sinfonietta, the smaller the or
chestra, the closer to perfection
must be the work OF each individ-
ual musician. Linden's little group
met this challenge in an exemplary
display of artistry and skill of solo
quality. That is what an audience
expects when many instruments of
the symphonic group are repre-
scented by but one player each.
Written When Young
First part of the program was
the Beethoven septet. Opus 20,
which Linden explained may nave
been written when the master was
no older than Is. The seven play
ers giving it scholarly interpreta-
ton were George Johnson. violin;
Harold Whelan. viola: Victor
Kestle, cello; Claire Garlick, pas-
soon; David Whisner, bass VOL;
William Wennes. clarinet. and Rob-
ert Etherington, French horn.
Grouped in Part II program
were the extracts from Schubert's
"Rosamunde;" Paganini's "Perpet-
uum Mobile" a most difficult as
signment to the string section: and
the lovely Air for the G string
the andante from Suite in D-by
Bach.
With Colors Flying
For Part III the orchestra per-
formed Mozart's symphony Con-
eertante with solo parts for violin
and viola played respectively oy
George johnson and Harold Whe-
Ian. In this work. the composer
imposed large responsibilities upon
the musicianship OF players ana
conductor and the Philharmonic
came through with colors flying
Mr.. johnson In particularly may
be complimented for fine perform
anee, not only in this. but In other
elements of the program.
In addition to the musicians
mentioned, Linden had In his little
symphony group the following:
Clarence Reeck, clarinet: Ronald
Taylor, Maxine Johnson. Vivian
Ayerst, Eugene Taylor. Louigina
Lento and Eleanor Whelan. violins;
Robert Delzell, Pauline Solder,
violas; Margaret Allen and Charles
