Gall My Sons" is gripping So
cial document, which presents a
soaring indictment of our system.
In human terms, the play blasts
the notion that a mans love for
his family is in conflict with his
responsibility to mankind as a
whole.
JOE KELLER. central character
in "All My Sons" neglected a
fundamental moral and social re-
sponsibility to all his sons when
he knowingly sold defective en-
gines to the Army from his fac
tory during World War II.
Joe Keller wasn't greedy; he
wasn't personally selfish. He was
selfish only for his family-he
wanted security for his wife and
two sons. He wanted their love
and devotion, plus the respect of
his neighbors. He believed money
could buy them.
Those defective cHgines killed
II pilots-boys like his Chris and
Larry.
The ensuing events led Joe to
frame his partner, blessed him
with neurotic wife, caused the
suicide of one son, Larry, and
lost the love and respect of Chris
and finally drove him to
suicide.

RECORD NOTES
BY RAEBURN FLERLAGE

Both music lovers and those
who are conscious of political
and social events viii be inter
ested in the release by Musicraft
Records of the famed "Leningrad"
Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovitch
in an impressive performance by
William Steinberg and the Buff
falo Symphony MU-83, $1,000.
This is the first recording of the
lengthy opus, the composers sew
enth in the symphonic framework.
Jennie Tourel noted for her
performances of Prokofieff's "Al-
exander NevskY'' and other mod
ern works, is also one of today's
finest singers in terms of the
standard repertoire. Her new Col
umbia album of Rossini Arias
CMM-691, $500 is off the beaten
path in that it contains arias from
Cinderella" "The italian Girl in
Algiers" and "Semiramide" as well
as the better-known Barber of
Seville" Most important selling
point of the album, however, is
that Miss Tourel sings the colora-
tura pages with all the grace of
a top-scale soprano, but with the
added richness of her mezzo reg
lister.
One of the most lushIY cap
tivating bits in the books is
Francis Symphonic Variations
for piano and orchestra. For
many years. however. the only
recording of this popular classic
has been Walter Gieseking's ex-
cellent but ancient Columbia
set. Now the London Decca firm
engineers have turned their re-
markable equipment to the task
of capturing new performance
of the Symphonic Variations by
Eileen Joyce and the Paris Con.
servatorY Orchestra under Chas.
Munich tEDA-3S. $5.2s). The re-
suits are impressive. lending new
excitement and drama TO the
score. An outstanding SET.

Company towns are familiar to
me. saw plenty of them during
the textile and coal strikes in New
Jersey and Illinois during the
tWentieS.
In. the early twenties / was a
house guest of Mr.. Kohler of Koh-
Ter, Wisconsin, the plumbing man
ufacturer. In the early thirties I
covered the Kohler strike for the
New Masses. In the dead of win
ter I saw the workers driven from
their homes" on to the highways
and killed and wounded by the
state militia. Kohler the Kindly
became Kohler the Killer.
George Clark Lowell, who owned
Clarkton, was not the Kohler
type, however, and I am sure not
typical of men who own company
towns in America. This is not
to say Fast's character is artistic
ally untrue-it simply presents a
different kind of entrepreneur and
story. / do not believe that this
enables Fast to make it as power
full a novel as it might have been,
excellent as it is.
ELLIOT Abbott, communist
and lifelong friend, is. Lowell's
closest confidant. Although they
are miles apart economically you
never feel sharp theological diff
ference on Lowell's part; he sim
ply doesn't care about anything
except his love life. "You know
what the plant means to me. You
know that it means precisely moth
ing, that it never has," he tells
Abbott.
We see him as victim of cir
cumstances-being pushed around
by greater forces than himself.
Just what these forces are is not
clearly revealed. This results in
very little antagonism created in
the reader against Lowell or what
he represents. If anything, there
is certain sympathy for the
plight Lowell finds himself in.
He is a helpless figure being
manipulated by those he employs
to manage his plant and affairs;
by those industrial consultants"
and goons, who are imported to
smash the strike-especially the
character, Gelb, who tells him, 81
think it's curse of our system
that people like yourself and /
say this with deepest respect -

Korean Speaker

Imprisoned For Faith

Mr.. Chun went to the best avail
able seminary, which was in Japan,
and studied three years. He was i'm
prisoned for his faith. The japanese
refused him a Bible in Jail until he
treatened a hunger strike! Then they
gave him a Bible in Japanese, which
he studied. During the year in pri-
son Mr.. Chun says he read the New
Testament seven times and the Old
Testament twice. He memorized two
epistles and several psalms. After
the surrender he went back to
Korea and became an interpreter for
the American Army of Occupation.
Many Christians were prosecuted
in Korea. Fifty-four were martyred.
Mr.. Chun has written and is publish
ing the stories of about twenty mo-
dern Daniels in Korea. While in
Lexington he received a letter
from Miss An, who escaped from the
Russian occupied half of Korea.
This letter will probably be publish
ed in a magazine.
Conflict Now On
A conflict in Korea now is bet
ween democracy and communism
Even in the high schools the stu
dents must choose n party or the
other and take part in the demon
STATIONS. Mr.. Chun's brother-in-law
found himself the only one in his
school standing for democracy. The
Russians forbid communication bet
ween their northern section of Korea
and the southern part occupied by
the United States Army. They allow
no radios.
In accordance with his convic-
ton that the Word of God is the
only salvation in Korea, Mr.. Chun
is fitting himself and others to
preach and teach there. He helped
with the founding Of a seminary in
Korea before leaving.
About Easter of this year Mr.
Chun arrived at the Golden Gate
early one morning. The beauty OF
theBay and of Oakland thrilled him
The California hills were in bloom
The bridges were magnificent. In
San Francisco he saw Just too many
cars! He had an introduction to a
minister there and has been well
coined to many churches since then
He has preached in Oregon, Colo
RADIO, and many northern states. The
Seminary in Philadelphia has OBJ.
tanned appointments for him over
the South. From Lexington he goes
to Welsh, Louisiana; Augusta, Geor-
gia; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Gin
| cinnati, Ohio: and other cities.

lines, accompanied by a $500 depo-
sit, on file at the MPL Company's
office here. Until these applications
are on file the rate for natural gas
in Lexington will be about z or 8
per cent higher than the present
rate in Durant.
Construction Monday
Construction work ons the city
distribution lines will begin Monday,
Mr.. Taylor declared. One crew will
be here to begin the initial installa-
ton and later in the week several
crews will be on hand to speed up
the work to assure those making
application the use of natural gas by
November 1st.
Mr. Tom Crockett, vice-president
of the Mississippi Power and Light
Company, said that construction
work by the Southern Natural Gas
Corporation has already started on
the new 11-mile long line from its
.Goodman-D urant line which will
bring gas to the city limits. Southern
Natural has had the pipe ready for
some time, but we're also waiting
for the "go' sign from the Federal
Power Commission in Washington.
Substantial Savings
Mississippi Power and Light Com
pany officials declared that natural
gas service will result in substantial
savings in fuel cost to the people OF
Lexington. The Power Company will
build the gas distribution system to
serve Lexington customers as rapid
ly as possible. Distribution of gas to
major portion of the City is expected
by late October.
In discussing the granting of these
new franchises to his company. Mr..
Crockett, MPL vice-president, decla-
red that "the granting of these fran
chises not only insures dependable,
lower cost natural gas and electric
service to the people of Lexington,
but also guarantees the continued
interest and cooperation of our COM
pany in the economic development
of this area.
"The bringing of 1ow-cost natural
gas service to Lexington will enable
the people Of this city to enjoy the
many benefits of this cheap, clean
fuel. In this connection, Mississippi
Power and Light Company will con-
duct cooking schools and other de-
m~onstrations to inform our customers

Typhoid Fever Discussed
By Health Department

Another Ease of Typhoid Fever in
Holmes County is proof positive that
Typhoid Fever has not been eradi-
Gated from the county, but only
controlled by SO many people having
been immunized against it.
Those who fail or refuse to be
immunized regularly against Ty-
phoi Fever are not only being unfair
to themselves and family but they
are not contributing to the effort
that is being made to control or era
dictate the disease.
With as many Typhoid Carriers
(people who have the Typhoid Fever
germs in their system all the time)
as we have, no one knows when
he is exposed to the infection, and
therefore the only way to be safe
from the disease is to be immunized
against it.
The records show that in 1925,
seventy-four cases of Typhoid Fever
were reported in Holmes County
and nine of them died. We have
come a long way since then with an
average now of about n case each
year, but to that person who has
the disease, our great progress means
nothing. I am sure we are all proud
of the progress that has been made
in the many fields or endeovor and
especially in medicine, both proven
tive and curative. Will you fail or
refuse to take advantage of what
progress has geven us.
The Holmes County Health De-
partment stands ready and anxious
to serve you.
