Paul Robson Giant
Of Song To Appear
Al Phoenix Union

Sunday, March %, at Phoeniz
Union High School Auditorium
Phoenicians will once again have
the opportunity of hearing Pau
Robson, Giant of Song"
"Giant of Song, the critic of the
Chicago Herald-American called
Paul Robson, speaking of this in
comparable artist in relation to his
tremendous nationwide drawing
power.
But Robson is not only "Giant
of Song, he is also a giant of q
man. standing 6 feet, 3 inches, and
weighing 100 piunds. His splen.
didly proportioned frame has in
spired the sculptor Epstein with
one of his finest works. Robson
has sat also for the sculptors An
tonic Salemme and Paul Manship.
To be actor or singer-that was
the question for Paul Robson tc
decide early in his career. It was
a case of "How happy could I be
with either, were the other dear
charmer away" Not being able
to make a definite decision, Robe
son accepted both, and as the flu
ture proved, has risen to enviable
heights of fame.
The son of a Princeton On. J0
preacher, Robson attended Tur-
gers College, winning honors in
both the scholastic and athletic
fields. Glass valedictorian, Phi
Beta Kappa, he was 4-letter man
as well, and also Walter Camps
choice for All-American End on the
football team for 1917 and 1918
After Rutgers came post-gradu-
ate course in law at Columbia. Mr..
Robeson holds degrees from both
Universities, as we'll as other hon
orary degrees from Hamilt n,
Noprehouse ATLANTA Univ0 and
Howard.
Everyone remembers the tre-
'"7en7ous sensation Robson created
in the part of Brutus Jones. 1t
was in this part that the Robson
singing voice was discovered. In
the part where Jones is lost in the
Jungle, he is supposed to whistle to
keep up his spirits. Robeson's
whistling, however, wasn't any,
thing to write home about; so it
was decided he would try singing a
s0iritual instead. The effect was
TREMENDOUSLY much so that Rob-
eson found himself acclaimed as
both singer and actor.
Stage, concert, radio, and screen
have all shared the magnificence
of the Rcbeson voice.; whether in
song or in speech it exercises the
same spell. This and the simplicity
of the man himself wins all hearts.
A great soul, a great personality,
a great artist, this is the fitting
tribute paid Robson by the re-
viewer of the Ottawa Evening Citi-
zen. And we may end with the
equally fitting tribute from Her
man Devries, dean of Chicago crit
les, "EIe is the first among vocalists
of his race, and comparable to the
greatest singers of any race"

Sometimes, it's quite a problem
to vary menus for your family,
isn't it? I have one favorite recipe
that's inexpensive but delicious,

So many Of my friends have asked
for it that I thought perhaps you
might like to try it, too! And in
cidentally, if you've wondered how
to use those odd leftover slices of
bread, this is a grand way. Just be
sure to wrap your bread carefully
in waxed paper, and it will stay
fresh until you're ready to use it.

Secretary Of State Marshall re-
Gently came out with a statement to
the effect that he favored IN gen
eral principles the idea advanced IN
some quarters looking TO a United
States of Europe as a solution to
that unfortunate continents prob
lens Winston Churchill. Britain's
time prime minister, IS working
toward that end also
Perhaps that happy solution to
Europe's present troubles IS too
much to hope for. And yet wouldn't
such a step be merely common
sense? If the constantly pickering
nations of Europe would forget
their centuries-old animosities and
hatreds. their jealousies and self
ishness, and unite in a confederation
that would honestly strive for the
common good of all of them, what
a happy solution that would be.
Costs of maintaining many govern
ments could be reduced, standing
armies and large navies could be
done away with, retarding tariffs
could be eliminated. Peace and
tranquility could come to a contin-
ent that has been waging intermit-
tent wars for centuries, and to a
group of nations that because OF
their egotism and domineering ma
lures and tactics have brought wars
and turmoil and suffering to the
rest of the world altogether too Of
ten Isn't it time for Europe to come
to her senses?

Fire Demon Takes
Mounting Toll; Is q
Real Statesman

BY Charles d. Rowe

Libby. and other communities II
Lincoln county, have long been for
tunate in respect to fire losses. This
is undoubtedly due to efficient fire
fighting departments and to reason
able precautions taken by its citl-
zens. There should be no let down
IN care taken to prevent visitation
by the red demon. To paraphrase a
well known expression, eternal Wig
lance is the price of safety from
fire loss and deaths.
Surveys show a heavy increase in
fire toll both in lives and property.
From April 1916, to March l947, a
survey shows there was a property
loss caused by fires of $500 530,000
in the United States, an increase of
24.5 per cent over the correspond
ing period of the preceding year
The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters selected March IA sew
eral weeks in advance as the day
for a nationwide spot-check of
fires. Questionnaires were sent out
to 4.199 fire chiefs A totaA of 2l52
chiefs responded with reports Here
are the results for one day:
.63l fire alarms reported.
I40 false alarms were counted.
.49l fires were recorded.
4 deaths and AS injured reported.
One fire every 81 seconds. One
fire alarm every SO seconds.
Millions of dollars worth of dam
age, several lives lost, and four in
juries for every death.
And this was only a partial check
of the nation, as many districts were
not contacted. Furthermore, on
this particular day no fires of spec
tacular nature were reported.
Just how far can the United States

world back on its feet? How far car
without bringing disaster upon our
selves?
Senator Vandenberg. an outstand-
ing statesman and chairman of our
senate foreign relations committee
thinks it's time that we made a care
full survey to answer those inn
portant questions. He asks for q
council composed of Republicans
and Democrats of the highest quail
fications to tackle that task. III
America ever says the worlds
hopes sag with her, Vandenbere
truthfully said.
But such discussions should not
be misunderstood at home Oh
abroad, said the senator.
AT home they should not invite
anxieties that we shall rush into
imprudent and inadequately sea
sOned plans Abroad they should not
be taken as evidence that our for
eign friends can depend upon us as
a substitute for depending on them
selves"

ing this problem, on an overall
basis instead of dealing with un-
anticipated crises, one by one.
recognize that intelligent American
self-interest demands that we meet
the situation with vision and cour-
age.
But equally I recognize that in
telligent American self-interest i'm
mediately requires a sound, over
all inventory of our own resources
to determine the ATTITUDES within
which we may consider these for
eign needs"
That's wise counsel Again it

The daily press in reporting the
l947 commencement exercises of
Montana State University, gave con-
siderable space to the baccalaur-
cate address of President James A.
Mccain, of the university. We
should like to quote, in part, from
that press report:
The significance of a general
revival of interest in religion on
campuses of the nation was the sub
ject of President James A. Mccain
of the state university in his bacca-
laureate address Sunday night to
seniors being graduated in the uni
versity's 50th annual commence
ment
Zone important wellspring of this
religious revival is the general edu-
cation movement which is currently
reshaping higher education" he
said. This movement stems from
recognition that our universities are
falling short of the aims of liberal
education-such aims as effective
personal living, social sensitivity
and enlightened citizenship"
"The educated persons religion
is positive" the speaker said. This
positive attitude in religion favors
communion with God in prayer and
praise, a growing faith in things
unseen. and a deepening of an. eff
fective fellowship with kindred
spirits.
The educated persons religion
is a way of life He applies to
religion the principles of intel
lectual honesty and personal in
tegrity and is personally engrossed
in leading a good life here and
now. He aims at all costs to retain
honesty in the search for truth, I'M
selfishness and right living, and de-
votion to beauty in his own life
and the world in which he lives"
