TOSCANINI TO RETIRE

It is reported that Arturo Toscanini,
long acclaimed as the worlds greatest or
chestra conductor, will retire from regular
concert work at the conclusion of the pres
ent season of broadcasts by the NBC SYM
phony Orchestra. 1t is also said that this
fine orchestra, organized four years ago,
may be disbanded.
This will be unwelcOme news to MIL
lions of music lovers who have enjoyed the
orchestra's Saturday night broadcasts dur
ing the years of its existence. 1t is probable
that Toscanini will appear occasionally
with other leading orchestras as guest con-
ductor SO long as his health permits. He
was "a years old on March %.
The eminent conductor was born in
Parma. Italy. and began his orchestral
career az a cello player after his gradua-
ton from the conservatory of his native
city. His first appearance as a conductor
was in Rio de Janero, Brazil, at the age OF
40 when without previous notice he direct
ed the performance of the opera Aida
after the regular conductor suddenly quit
the company.
In 1908 Toscarini became conductor
of the Metropolitan Opera in New YORK re-
naming through 1914. He conducted most
Of the concerts of the New York Philhar-
mcnic-Symphony for ten years, beginning
in 1926 For number of years he con-
Quoted great summer musical festivals IN
Europe.

BAN CLOSED SHOP

The proposed measure to outlaw the
closed shop in Florida is pretty violent
medicine for the i'll it is intended to cure.
Labor in general will put up battle
before such a measure becomes law, and
Key West labor men, although they have
taken no organized action up to now, are
watching the legislative scene with pro-
found distrust
--~- Before labor takes up the cudgels in
defense of its ancient cornerstone, how
ever, it would be highly reassurlng to a
worried public if the union leaders would
present a clear-cut platform showing what
thew think is the correct answer to the pres
ent work stoppages.
The big industrial stoppages, OF
course, do not particularly concern Florida
labor aside from their effect of concentrat-
ing public opinion against all unions. Even
if there were large factories in the state,
the closed shop measure would not cure
their labor difficulties.
In the construction of army camps, air
bases and other vital defense posts, how
ever. there have been work stoppages and
DELAYS that do attecC FIOrlud ulIeCIIy anu
where the proposed law apparently is
aimed.
= e+ AT Camp Banding, for instance, skill
ed workmen slept on the ground last winter
because they could not raise moneyto join
the, union and get job. Meanwhile, the
contractors were sending to New York to
get workmen who were union members or
had enough money to get in.
The old American joke of pointing at
battleship or public building and claim
inc Joint ownership, because my taxes
helped pay for it, works both ways. Since
the federal government is paying for the
work, there is good deal of justice in the
protest of the attorney general that he can
not see why taxpayer should pay tribute
to union before he can work or a job for
which he is helping to put up the money.
The great majority of the American
people are about in the mood to repeat the
remark of President Roosevelt with due
credit to Shakespeare)
"A plague on both your houses!'

MY AMERICA

NV America is in the hearts of men,
Who had in their minds freedom to win:
They came to this land from the sea-
Bringing their gifts for the land of the free.
The English, the French and Scandinavian too
Contributed part as the Slav and the Jew:
All brought gifts from their part of the earth,
And laid on the altar, the land of my birth
Italian and French brought art and romance,
The Spanard his love of adventure and chance:
Irish brought laughter, the Scotchman his thrift,
N1aile Teuton and Dutch contributed their gift.
The negro didn't come of his own free VIII,
But yet mission he. was to fulfill:
Rhythm and patience were his stock in trade,
And these he added as the country was MADE.
All these people asked as reward of those gifts,
Was freedom from greed intolerance and riffs;
Opportunity to work, to live and to play,
To rear their families in wholesome way.
The wide open spaces they found over here,
Made them friendly TO whoever was near
About questions at home we may disagree,
But solid front to those over the sea
The hardshps were many they learned to endure,
For love Of freedom SO wholesome ana pure
With freedom Of work and freedom Of thought,
They lead all the world with invention wrought
Where a barefoot boy has equal right,
To rise in his world of influence and might;
Yet as he reaches the heights of the game
Thoughtful of others along the road he came
Where man is measured, not by title and rank,
Nor by the dollars he has in the bank;
But by the kindness he shows to mankind
The acts and the words that flow from his mind.
From Atlantic foam, to Pacific peace,
The scenic grandeur seems to never cease;
Rivers of commerce cataracts of power,
Traverse My America like dew on flower
One half the people indulge every week, e.'~7s
In our national games at their highest peak
Where the love of sports is part of the plan, 81
To build for strength and Vigor of the, clan,
Schools and churches that teach what they think, a
And unhampered scribes speak with printers ink
Where respect is given to each sect and creed, ;,;
And something is done about those in need
We detest aggression, but despse sneak
Who strikes in the dark the fallen, the weak:
We are slow to anger, but remember so true
The pledge of our fathers to die or do.
With all these gifts brought inside of our gates
They pattern called these United States:
In the hearts of men, in land 81 fine
Thank God live in this America of mine.
