observations
TBaEERBFHHHaHRHHREEHHg

Piano pedals are much abused
eadgets. Ordinary pianos have
three pedals. One is for pressing
felts upon the wires, and is
called the damper. 1t makes soft
tones. Another is called una
corda," and is 90 installed that
it removes the striking mechan-
iSm from the wires so much that
the hammers hit only one string.
Ordinarily, the hammers strike
three wires in the upper regis
ter and two in the lower. The
una corda tone string reduces
your volume proportionately.
Grand pianos, and some up
rights, have . central pedal
called the "sosteauto" and its
function is to sustain bass ped
al point while changing har-
mcny in the upper register. But
the pedal which catches it" is
the sustaining pedal, erroneous
ly called the loud pedal. Many
oiavers who have not developed
q good singing tone, who don't
know any reason why they
should develop good singing
tone, become enchanted by the
sounds caused by keeping the
foot on the sustaining pedal. I
have heard many otherwise
skillful players ruin their
changing harmonies by keeping
that right foot on the loud
nedal. If YOU will put you'd foot
on the right pedal and strike
three or four different chords,
tten listen critically to the jun
bic d up harmony you are sus-
tanning, you will get a reason for

''YOur Brothers Voice.
BY CLIFFORD |. MILLER

The road is always better
than the inn.-Maurice Maeter-
linck.
For most of us our New Year
begins more truly after Labor
Day than January the first. Our
chance is at hand to leave the
inn we so much enjoy and take
the unknown road. 1t may bring
US new experiences, new duties,
new horizons, Let go the inn and
take to the road. This week our
schools open. What a challenge
for our teachers TO do a good job
for Brotherhood. Freedom and
Human Equality A letter from
the deep rural South sounds the
Macedonian cry of a young
woman, eager for a chance to
continue her musical education.
Listen to the reason she gives:
THAT 1 may spread a knowledge
and appreciation of music
among my people" Education
for service is the road to a use
full and worthwhile life. Here's
an opportunity for some one
with resources to help.
I was asked to give a Chris
tian burial to a woman who
came within an inch OF being
buried in Potter's Field last week
1t came home to me; but for
the kindness of loved ones that
fate could happen to most of
us. I realized as never before
our need of the common touch
as security from such a fate
This woman had made a few
friends in both races, and when
they learned her corpse would
be committed to Potter'S Field,
they got busy and gave the
Christian burial every man
should have regardless of his
poverty. We all sail the same
ship, are making for the same
port. We all share the same eX-
periences of being born, living
and then dying We all touch
other lives, and other lives
touch us. We do we'll to keep in
touch by having the common
touch. Often we lose it through
barriers made by earthly distinc-
ton, forgetting that in all the
chief things Of life, we share and
share alike Most of US feel we
cannot walk with crowds and
keep our virtue.

Every so often we hear objec-
tons raised to the idea of Unity
among the American people 1t
will lead to uniformity, the cri-
tics say. 1t will compel everyone
to accept certain beliefs forcibly
imposed by public opinion and
the state. 1t will suppress reig-
ious freedom by preventing min
critics from expressing their own
particular views. II will relegate
to position Of relative unim-
portance those beliefs which dis
tinguish one religion from an
other.
These objections arise, and
could only arise, from a misun-
derstanding of what is meant by
Unity and the principles upon
which it must rest. BY Unity we
simply mean that there are some
principles in American life so
easily recognized by all men of
good will as to be accepted by
them gladly, voluntarily and rea-
sonably-and that in acknowl-
edging these principles we all
find a common ground on which
to stand.
There is the principle, stated
by Jefferson in the Declaration of
independence, that every man
born in this world brings certain
inalienable and inherent rights
with him as the gift of God. The
right to speak is one of them.
The right to print is another. The
right to worsip according to the
dictates of conscience is still an
other. This principle of equal
rights applies to the Protestant,
the Jew, the Catolic, the colored
and the white man without any
distinction between them what
soever. And all Americans of
good viii are one in proclaiming,
acclaiming. and accepting this
principle. We are united on this
sfound.
There is the principle Of mai
GRITTY rule and the security Of
minority rights agains both the
state and the majority, Ameri-
cans of good will are united on
that principle regardless of
their religion, their race, their
ma ional origin, or their class.
There is the priniiple, as JeJff
erson again stated in the Des-
laration of Independence, that
The function Of government IS
to secure TO men the rights they
have from Coda principle

Government mans servant, not
his master. We are uited-Cath-
olics, Protestants, and Jews-on
that principle.
When we speak of Unity in
America it is Unity based upon
and growing out of the accep-
lance, in the main, of these
principles. We are not trying TO
enforce any kind of uniformity
in religion or politics. Indeed,
the principles upon which we
are united, teach us that We
have an inalienable and inherent
right to be different.
We are united on those prime
iples which guarantee our free
dom to be free and to be differ

The people to watch in Amer
lea are not those wo seek Unity
on this basis-but those wlo
deny it-those who deny the
right of a Protestant to be a
Protestant and a good American,

a good American, a Jew to be i

THE HUMAN race during a
crisis is always glad to pitch in
togethre, white, colored and re
gardless of creed. The child-like
pouting and "Butting on of su-
perior attitudes is so shamefully
silly to any educated person
that such bigotries will be de-
stroyed in time.
50 NOW with the Germans
being treated better than the
long persecutde and displaced
JEWS in Europe and with anti
semetism being stirred up here
and abroad, the Jews will OBJ
serve their New Year, Rosh
Hashona, Sunday amidst some
editorial praise but also amid
some unbecoming criticisms of
their faith.
WORLD HISTORY has wit
messed long centuries of perse-
cutions OF certain minority
groups, including the Jews. And
we know that if such cycles of
intolerance ARE ALLOWED to
continue, it will eventually
strike the Catholics as we'll as
other church groups. Certainly
today some of us can already
see the writing on the wall.
THE BRITISH treatment of
the Jewish people as well as
other minority groups on this
planet including South Africa,
were openly condemned by the
ROOSEVELT family which was
smeared by some writer's for
their brave stand. But name
calling will not stop the scales
of justice in the inevitable
march of time.
1T CAN'T HAPPEN to us Isl
the confident comment Of non
Jews as they watch the perse-
cutionS and deliberate divisions
of the Semetic pepoles (the
Arabs and Jews are both sem
etic), We may think that our
own particular race, creed, or
color is on easy street. No
greatre MISTAKE could be made
at this time!

through successive civilizations
which have crumbled into the
dust. People laughed at Christ.
They laugh at the Pope, 1t just
proves that SOME people are
stupid.
THE JEWS in their holiday
prayers, will we hope, add a few
prayers for their more FORUM
ate neighbors. There are mighty
fine Jews who long ago decided
to befriend all mankind. So may
we express the Jewish Happy
New Year - Leshono Tovo Tiko-
