Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights
Dream

William Shakespeare (1654-1616)
and Felix Mendessohn (1809-47)
might have been the Gilbert and
Sullivan of their era if they had
been contemporary But unfortu-
nately, the life spans of the Bard of
Avon and the German music master
were separated by two centuries.
But Jack LaFrandre, writer and
director of the Chicago Theater of
the Air." has resurrected the works
of the two masters, blended them,
and made an eventful musical
drama, "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" which will be heard over
WEI, next Saturday, 9 to 10 p. m.
This new treatment of interweav-
ing the drama of Shakespeare with
the music of Mendelssohn will lbe
the third in the unusual series of
four music-dramas which is being
presented on the Theater of the Air
while Marion Claire vacations.
Highlights from the Shakespeare
drama will serve to underscore the

aScherzo,' ''Nocturne," and the
Wedding March"

Increase. Seen
In Main Crops

Acreages for the 1943-l944 season
in Imperial Valley indicate sharp
increases in some of the major
crops as well as in some of the
lesser known ones.
County Agricultural Commission
er B. A. Harrigan issued his official
report of the crops this week. He
said that some of the paintings are
below normal because of unfavor-
able weather conditions The actual
acreage, he said will be about
normal after all paintings are
complete.
Lettuce acreages increased this
year to 20,274 over a last years
total acreage of 17,517. The total
carrot acreage this year is 8,481
while year ago it was 1891.
This years cabbage acreage is al
most double that of last year. This
year the acreage was 2,267 as COM
pared to 1926 a year ago.
A total of 6,760 acres were plant
ed to peas this year A year ago
the total was $3.50. This years
onion acreage totaled 1892
The turnip acreage this year is
122 acres. There are 342 acres in
beets, 347 in endive, 438 in broccoli
and 80 in romaine, Harrigan's re-
port said.

.LaGuardia Sees
Subsidies as
Price Rise Bar

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. (UP)-
Sen. Francis Maloney, D., Conn,
said today that ''in spite OF the
darkness of the present hour, we
will have (food) subsidies before
we are through.
He made the remark in a senate
banking committee hearing during
which Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardla
of New York urged that subsidies
be continued to prevent skyrocket-
ing of living costs. The committee
is considering houSe-approved leg
islation which would ban subsidies
after Dec. 81. The senate also is
expected to pass the bill.
LaGuardia remarked that if Ma
loney was right, Il have no more
to say" The mayor apparently was
testimony.
La Guardia said the nation dare
not risk what will happen if con-
greSs prohibits subsidies"
In New YORK, La Guardla Salu,
food prices have increased 80 per
cent since 194l, and clothing prices
have gone up approximately 80 per
cent.
Consumers are willing for farm
ers to receive a fair price for their
crops, he said, but they must also
be offered food and clothing at
prices within their reach.
Clarence w. Slocum, director OF
the industrial price division of the
Office of Price Administration, told
the committee total expenditures or
subsidies are being paid at a rate
of $780, 100000 annually. With SUBJ
sides and price controls we believe
that we've helped in saving on
wartime expenditures.
Earlier, Sen. John H. Bankhead,
D., Ala, proposed that the govern
ment scrap the subsidy program
and adopt instead plan to help
low-income groups by giving them
food stamps similar to those issued
in depression years.
