Piano Student Should
Build Firm Foundation

Serious students of piano have
learned the value of the Arm foun-
dalton. Not foundation stone
should be omitted In the early train
ing lest in later years the pupil find
himself hopelessly lost in the strug-
gle to replace the missing stone.
Carelessness in or lack of correct
fundamental training; lax or in
efficient teacher; the performance Of
music beyond the pupils capabili-
ties-all these are the cause Of many
students becoming discouraged at
the age when a capable and intelli-
gent teacher attempts to take So
called advanced" pupils back over
a course in elementary fundamental
technique.
There are other elements which
need proper consideration early.
such as development Of memory.
correct approach to the classics and
a thorough schooling In style as
found in the various schools Of piano
playing; the meaning Of a pure
legato tone. In short, the serious
student Of piano must patiently drill
and school himself to become mas
ter Of the instrument. He must care
fully watch every detail, however
small, after 1t has been properly pre-
sented until it has been mastered.
Flashy performance does not Of
itself spell the artist. Beauty Of
tone, color and Interpretation come
only after an extensive technique
has been both required and ac-
quired. Standards Of performance
vary according to the taste and ex-
perience Of the performer or men,
tor. Happy indeed is the pianist
who early has been taught that all
things should be taken In their
stride. Those who would become
artists must labor to reach the
heights.

Virginia Yields
Ice Age Relics
Blue Ridge Valley Seen as
Scene of Early North
American Culture.

WASHINGTON.-In a romantic
Virginia mountain valley, at the foot
of the lofty peaks of Otter, Smith,
sonian institution archeologists have
uncovered what may be one of the
oldest inhabited sites in eastern
North America.
Long before the red men who met
the first white explorers came into
Virginia, three or four groups of
tribes, each with a distinct culture,
had dwelt in this hemlock-shaded
shelter in the bosom of the Blue
Ridge mountains, the evidence in
dicates.
Among them were men who made
type of Clipped flint spear point,
almost indistinguishable from arti-
facts found in the West in associa-
tion with bones of long-extinct ami.
mails and in geologic strata laid
down at least Io,ouO years ago. The
Wee.s.ners are believed to have
lived in the continent in the closing
days of the last ice age.
Workmen Uncover village.
Similar artifacts have been picked
up all over the country, but always
as solitary objects such as might
have been dropped by wandering
hunters. Probably Virginia has fur
nished more of these than any other
Eastern state. In no case, howev-
er, has one ever been found in as
sociation with other remains that
would indicate even a temporary
bivouac of these ghostlike nomads
who appear to have been the first
Americans.
David I. Bushnell Jr., Smithsonian
archeologist, the first to find Fol-
som points in Virginia, has kept up
an intensive search all over the
state, following every clue that
came to his attention. His efforts
were rewarded when workmen en-
gagged on the picturesque Skyline
drive, the new federal highway
through the Shenandoah National
park, uncovered an Indian village
site with a complex diversity Of arti-
facts.
When Mr.. Bushnell investigated
the site he found objects obviously
from different cultures badly mixed
up. But it was also apparent that
they represented a very long cross
section Of North American history.
The valley is an ideal camping site
and presumably was much the same
10000 years ago as it is today. His
torically 1t has been a crossroads of
mountain trails.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Key West business men this week, if
they will study the reports of the Com
r.erciaI Secretaries association school, will
be likely to get new idea of what a cham
Der o. commerce is, and what an efficient
che can GO ior It's community.
Inc secretaries now meeting here have
come from scattered cities throughout the
state-one Of them made the 1,000-mile
Journey from Pensacola-and their prob
lems although different in detail, are the
problems Of Key West.
1t is difficult to say "a chamber of COM
merce has the principal purpose Of" any
thing in these days. Perhaps they had a
single, primary function in The beginning,
but, as the records Of the secretaries reveal,
they now have spread into almost every
thing that has to do with the good Of the
community.
The chamber Of commerce here, al
though limited in size and strictly limited
in the amount Of cash available, answers
sists in the function Of Better Business
fureau, tries to get publicity and arouse in
terest in businesses which might be per-
suaded to come here, lists lodgings and
other fu9incsaes FIR the information Of visi-
tors, and does a multitude Of other valuable
services.
Chambers Of commerce in larger cities
Of Flor da have set up clubs through which
a visitor from any section of the ration may
~'aet visitors from his home locale some of
them make a feature Of providing free
tationery AMI a writing room for the use Of
tourists
In any and all of the chamber of com
merce functions however, there is the one
theme Of selling the city where it is located,
and selling the state as a whole.
Key West stands to benefit by the
knowledge ether chamber secretaries will
have Of this city now, and we will benefit
again if the convention gives people here
clearer idea of why we have a chamber of
commerce.

LET THEM SPEAK THEIR MINDS

Let's have word in praise of prospee-

While the race of human beings pokes
fun at the youngsters isn't there something
TO praise in the eagerneSs with which they
attack the evils of the day and the hope
Gulness with which they plead their special
causes?
Youth may be criticized for lack of
years. but if cynical experience could solve
hall the problems that it thinks it can,
where would impetuous youth fird any
thing to correct?
So. to all young people of Key West let
these greetings appear Let them proceed
with their study of problems" and make
known their cures" Who knows what
Statesmen have been developed from

COMMUNITY COOPERATION

The Citizen urges all citizens of Key
West to adopt an intelligent plan Of COM
munity cooperation. This does not involve
the careless boosting that ignores facts or
the degenerating pessimism that de-
preciates everything. 1t merely requires
the citizens of Key West to realize that the
combined efforts of all neighbors and
friends will definitely improve our town.
One of the necessities is sound bust
ness structure upon which to rest other
ornaments. The trade-at-home policy, as
often outlined in this paper is a cardinal
principle of community loyalty 1t applies
to sellers as well as to buyers and involves
the use of money for improving Key West,
as spending it within municipal limits.
In addition, our citizens should COM
pare Key West with other communities
and, if possible, see that we acquire as many
advantages as possible. Moreover, an eye.
-hould be kept on our living conditions and
social organization in the hope of securing
fuller life for those who make their homes
