on the whole, have been very un
comfortable. Sometimes we would
have to give our seats to mothers
who with their children were max
ing long trips and were standing
in the aisles, when there were
plenty of seats in the other cars.
On one train the windows were
open. When dawn arrived and
we goS up to change trains, we
looked like a group of chimney
sweeps. If we had closed the
windows we would have had the
lack of air conditioning to contend
with.
Are we complaining? Il should
say we are, but it's like trying to
lift a large weight with straw.
Until everyone is fed up with the
prevailing conditions and realize
that they are paying the same
fare as anyone else, | am afraid
that we will continue to be herd
ed together in enc coach that
more resembles a cattle car than
any thing else. Eat whenever
porter has time to come back to
see if we are hungry, and carry
our own bags though we have
money and are willing to pay the
porters.
This is travelling by train,
streamlined trains, luxury liners,
etc. Me?-Pll take buses for my
travel Until such time when U. s.
A. allows us to charter them again
] am content not to travel
Travelling by train sounds a lot
more convenient than travelling by
bus. However this proves the old
parable that "All is not Gold that
glitters."

Playing to a packed house with
a different and new style OF mus
ie that was soothing to the COM
placeney of Little Rock and Pine
Bluff music lovers, was Lionel
Hampton ana that unmatched az
gregation Of young musicians that
Hampton has succeeded in the past
few months in gathering around
him.
During Lioneps stay with Benny
Goodman, his ambition was to
have an orchestra of his own. an
orchestra that could play differ
ent type of music, music to his
liking without the ley-jump kind
usually associated with sepia or
chestras, In order to do this he
had to find musicians who wanted
to play that type Of music. He
started during his time with Ben
ny contracting and studying young
and when he found that
he had what he wanted, he made
his move to aggregate these boys
and in a short period of about Is
months he has built with the CO.
operation of his boys an aggrcga.
ton Of musicians into an orches-
ira that plays a different type of
music and one that has reached
the acme of perfection.

! When ever Lionel plays one Of
his numbers the crowd always
clamors for more. He appeared
at the Robinson auditorium Tues

Wednesday night, Pine Bluff and
left with those who heard him a
memory that will live long after
Lionel has vanished.

with apologies to the others, we

guitarist, not that he stands
above the others for they all are
tops and have reached perfection,
but because he has written books
on how to play the guitar and
they are used by others who have

Travelling By Train
With nampton's
Orchestra
BY Vance Hardin

For the past two weeks the
Hampton aggregation has been
travelling by train, making a
strenuous effort to cover a route
of one nighters. 1t is tired,
haggaid, road worn group of mus
icians that mount the band stand
nightly, One could not begin to
conceive the hardships undergone
hat day if one We're to judge all
by the output Of the boys.
1t goes without saying that,
changing trains, carrying lugg-
age, waiting for hours in out of
the way derots for trains, and
sitting in non-reclining chairs,
day in and day out would make
anyone throw up their hands and
give up the whole tour.
As if all this weren't enough.
We have received little considera.
ton from train officials, conduct
ors, brakesmen, stewards, etc,
who seemingly have taken advan-
tage of every opportunity to treat
us as dirt under their feet.
At one point along the way, one
of the boys who resented being
showed by ticket collector who
had very unceremoniously pushed
him aside, found himself looking
at the business end of revolver.
