Following the concert, Mr.. b.
let revealed some very interest
ing information relating to the
production of Gilbrt and Sulli-
vans 'Mikado', in Toxic, where he
conducted the symphony orches-
ira and directed the musical por-
ton of the show. This opera was
given on the largest stage ever
used, with the largest cast ever
assembled. In fact, the well known
entrance of the emperor in this
show required the playing of half
of the overture in addition to the
S2-bar entrance written into the
original by Composer Sir Arthur
Sullivan.
Costumes included original JAP
anese armour and a kimono worn
by the Empress of Japan at her
coronation, and shown on the
most elaborate set ever construct
ed in the world for Gilbert and
Sullivan opera. This is the pro-
duction that was given recent
publicity thru the pages of Life
magazine.
Not only top-flight artist, Mr..
Bolet was thoroughly congenial
and cooperative with local Com
munity Concert people in present
ing his concert. His next concert
takes him to Boise, Idaho.

friends Of First Lutheran were
highly thrilled to re-enter their
entirely renovated Church audi

blocks added to the rear of the
Church. The upper floor now con-
tains a commodious study for the
pastor from which he can enter
directly into the chancel; and a
fair sized room which lends itself
delightfully."- as a little chapel for
mldweek meetings, marriage GER

Military service as an lnQlVlQua
investment in the future as vel
as an immediate national need i.
advocated in a recently published
novel entitled "Son of Tomorrow
written by Earl Reed Silvers
. Dean of Men, Rutgers University
New Jersey.
J In discussing the convictions
that led him to write this novel
Silvers points out the effect World
War II veterans have had in re-
lation to younger students enroll
ed in institutions of higher learn
ing. He states: "Today's high
school graduates are too young
to meet the competition offered
BY veteran students"
To illustrate, the dean men
tons that more than two thirds
Of students enrolled at Rutgers
during the past term were vete-
rams, and that within a short
tune they dominated the student
body in athletics the classroom
and in extracurricular activities.
In my opinion this shows that
boys Just out of high school, sew
enteen and eighteen years old,
are not ready for college.
Because of the tempo of scholas-
uc life has quickened due to vet
eran Influence, states the author,
recent high school graduates find
me pace too fast for them.
They are often bewildered, UNI
certain, and lacking in confidence.
They become followers, with little
opportunity of developing the
qualities of leadership which a
college should give"
In offering a solution, Silvers
holds that the average seventeen
and eighteen year old would get
much more out of college if he
first gave himself a chance to
broaden his experience by going
INTO service for at least twenty
four months, or by accepting the
discipline and responsibilities of
a two-year job.
It the student has will power
and strong character, he will get
q deeper value from service than
from a job," the professor contin-
ues.
Stating that in his opinion years
spent in the military service are
an investment which will pay fu-
ture dividends, the dean concludes:
What these boys need is time
