viewed this scene three years
ago from the top of Camel
Back Mountain, some three
thousand feet up. He likened
the view to that of the Jordan
valley and Dead Sea as seen
from the heights of Jerusalem
and the Mount of Olives. South
Mountain Range appeared to
him as the mountains of Moab,
with climate, fauna and flora
like to that of the Holy land
and all this likeness added
much to the impressiveness of
the scene which we beheld
from Lookout Point.

The National Symphony Orches-
ira, with Hans Kinder directing,
gave its mid-week program last
night with the assistance Of Blanche
Thebom, mezzo-soprano OF the
Metropolitan Opera as soloist. The
gifted young singer, one of the most
striking in appearance of the MET"
stars, made a great success with
her singing, with orchestra, not
arias but songs. Gowned in q high
necked, long-sleeved dress OF
changeable dark velvet over q green
satin skirt, with her hair braided
in a crown on the top of her head,
she resembled q lovely daguerreo-
type. It was q difficult dress to
manage, however, and caused her
to assume a rather rigid pose when
singing. But the vivacity OF her
features and their changing express
sion were set of by her Sombre
attire.
The singing of songs with orches-
ira is not much in vogue so that
Miss Thebom had the interest OF
the audience right then and there,
particularly as they seemed to at
tain greater dimensions as she sang
them. "verborgenheit," "Elfen-
lied," "Schlafendes Jesuskind" and
"Erist's" by Hugo Wolf comprised
the first group. These are choice
Wolf songs, too seldom heard. She
was in complete sympathy with
their varied content. coloring her
opulent voice with feeling. the sin
cerity Of which was felt by the
audience. Again, in the unfamiliar
Liszt work, Jeanne dare au
bucher," she dramatized the text
with splendid design and with fine
climatic effect.
At the same time, Miss Thebom
is not so finished a vocalist as she
is an interpreter. Possessing an ex-
ceptionally fine voice from nature,
it is still not brought under COM
plete control although she is able
to create her effects despite this
handicap. Particularly unfortunate
is her enunciation with its improper
projection of the vowel sounds.
Neither in French or German did
they conform to the native sound
and only occasionally were the
words to be understood. Her tones
can be dulcet whether in the high
or low registers but often were
pushed out Of focus. 1t is her tenn
permanent that directs her to the
projection Of emotion and her ar
tistic sensibility that keeps it al
ways in good taste. The large

BY Hal Clark

It was probably a fortuitous
combination of chance and wisdom
that guided the founders of this
nation in their selection of a
first president.
=
It may not be worthy of COM
ment that our first great American
president, whose birthday will be
celebrated on the 22nd of this
month, had the first name of
George. s-'IT
Of little moment then, it might
Ibe of great moment now, when
many of our citizens like to "let
George do it,. In fact, it might
be just dandy. p 9
f.
So much so that the political
skies should be scanned to ascer-
tain whether there is not, in one
or the other of our major parties,
a suitable candidate with the name
of George. W Z
= \ = s. .z
Should there be, and if he can
be nominated and elected, the lads
who like to ''let George do it" can
breathe more easily and rest more
comfortably of nights. Because
with more celebrity, then, the prob
lens of localities can be dumped
into the capacious lap Of the Great
White Father in Washington.
All of this apropo of the sug-
gestion made at the most recent
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce that officials of the Atomic
Energy Commission be called upon
to promote federal aid for the
many problems that have been
caused here by the unfortunate
plague of prosperity that stems
from Acc activities at Hanford.
A ~shrewd phrase-maker COM
mented in the early years of the
Roosevelt presidential career that
nobody likes to shoot shot guns
at Santa Claus" The obvious
conclusion was that the many rec
ipients of federal bounty would
vote for more of the same.
= y ~ +. 81
While we're on that point,
should like to state that believe
at the time that it was no more
reprehensible for out-of-the-pock-
cts voters to vote toward their
personal advantage than it was
for weA-padded corporation Of
ficials to vote for theirs. It seemed
reasonable that it would be un-
reasonable to expect a citizen
from either class to vote for con-
ditions that he considered to be
less advantageous to himself.
Just so, it seems unwise to con-
vey the impression to Atomic
Energy heads that the antics OF
their gift horse have been so dis
turbing to us that we are pre-
pairing to kick his teeth out all
over the place.

Of course, this is a crude
statement of the thinking tnat
actuates proponents of the let
George do it" philosophy. To be
fair with them, they sincerely be-
lieve that the problems that churn
along in the mighty wake OF at
omic development are too I'M
mense for local solution.
have two reasons for not hold
ing that viewpoint myself.
First, our limited exercise OF
local enterprise has to date so ad-
vanced our power to cope with
these problems that the future
seems bright indeed.
= = s.. o.. --- ..T' '.
Secondly, we have by no means
exhausted our stock OF local en-
terprise and authority.
s. 1874 ....
If measures so much short OF
about effort can thus improve
our capacity, how much more
might we accomplish by contin-
fng the method.
Let's examine a couple of these
major local crises:
Sanitation - without reference
to the might-have-beens that pro-
perly belong in the past, 1t can
be said that the health authori-
ties of the State and the Benton
Franklin Public Health District
have now armed themselves with
authority to correct unSanitary
conditions. They have intelligent
ly withheld coercion until a mo-
ment when they can enforce COM
pliance without driving men and
! women and kids out into even
more sub-standard living condi-
tons.
AS the 5000 trailer sites in the
North Richland area move to-
ward completion, they can act
much more decisively because
trailer residents will have place
to dwell if they are forced to
move.
AS the development gathers mo-
mentum, our local emergency in
power will ease off. Already II
has done so with the coming Of
warmer temperatures. And, be
fore another winter comes, our
electric system viii be equipped
to cope more adequately with de-
mand.
1 haven't space to continue the
discussion, which might rove
through the fields of schools,
housing, and traffic, showing that
local enterprise in each instance
has proven its capacity and pow
er to produce Improvement.
Let's boiler for help, when
we've demonstrated that we've
done everything possible locally
to meet these emergencies. But
let's not boiler till then.
