Concordid Bond
Director Hos
Wide Experience

Professor j. A.. Holvik, who
will conduct the Concordia COL
lege concert band in its pro-
gram at the junior High school
gymnasium here on Feb. 10 at
8 pm, has had charge of band
work at Concordia since 1925.
Even as a boy, he was inter
ested in musical instruments.
He began active work in
band at the age of IL and dir
ected his first band at the age
of 18. According to his own
statements, he gained his most
decisive musical impressions
and inspiration as a member of
the st. Olaf college band under
DR.. F. Melius Christensen.
IN his work with the band
at Concordia, Mr.. Holvik has
aimed particularly to develop
the musicianship of the indivi-
dual members. In keeping with
this aim, he lays stress on the
minute detail essential to
faithful and accurate rendition
of the composition rather than
emphasizing entertaining show
manship.
When MIR. Holvik Travelled
with the band in Norway in
1885 he was awarded the gold
medal with laurel wreath, the
highest Lonor of this type
given by the Music society Of
FredrikStad, Norway. In the IS
years of the organizations life,
this was the fifth award of
this kind that had been pre-
sented. Mr.. Holvik was the sec
ond American to receive the
honor.
In addition to his work at
Concordia, Mn. Holvik is fire.
quently called upon to serve as
Judge at music contests and as
guest conductor at music fes-
rivals.
He is also noted for his work
as head of the Morse depart
ment at the college. In 1926 he
was decorated Knight Of the
Order of st. Olaf, first class
by Haakon VII Of Norway. The
honor was bestowed for work
in writing and editing text
books for the study Of the
Morse language.
The manager Of the band,
the Rev. ". C. Doe, Is dean Of
men at Concordia. He formerly
served as pastor Of the Amer
lean Lutheran church in Chi.
nook, Mont, and of the Scobey
Lutheran church, Scobey, Mont.

Buying Curbs
Good Restraints

1nstallment buying has again
been placed under the restraints
that were in existence until last
November and there is little
doubt that tighter credit restric-
tons will prevent some buyers
from over-exerting themselves.
The Federal Reserve Board
points out that, when the credit
restraints were removed, INSTALL
ment credit hit new highs; in
fact, jumped almost two million
dollars in seven months. This
means, very clearly, that people
are not only spending their cash
but anticipating their incomes,
creating debt that will have to
be paid out Of future income.
The present situation in the
finances of the nation and its
people clearly indicates, it seems
to us, the wisdom of reducing,
not expanding Indebtedness.
Money borrowed today may have
to be repaid when dollars are
harder to get. Many older peo-
pie understand the process, hav-
ing had the experience during
the Twenties.

Sokolsky Says Mr.. Truman Has Missed
Tone OF Hour In His 1913 Campaign
SOkOLSkY

Earl Warren, the Republican
candidate for Vice-President,
set the high note for this cam
paign when he recognized that
while the two-party system is
essential to the American poll
teal structure, it must be recog-
nized that there is good in both
parties, that both have served
America we'll. He did not attack
President Truman; he did not
vituperate. He was calm, digni-
fled and statesmanlike. He fol-
lowed the course set by Cover
nor Dewey and so ably pursued
by Harold Stassen in his Detroit
speech. 1t was an encouraging
tone and gave some hope of
campaign on issues not on wise
cracks.
1t would be to the best inter-
ests of the United States if Pres
ident Truman adopted a similar
lofty approach to his campaign.
After all, America is, at this
moment in human history, the
central nation of the world, and
Harry Truman is its president.
True, he is also candidate, but
as President, he must uphold
the dignity of his office and Of
his nation. This, as Jesse Jones
so ably put it, he is incapable of
doing. It does not suit his notion.
Giving them hell-as he put it
is more to his liking.
Yet, he must consider that
should we be faced by a crisis
at Berlin, he will have to appeal
to the entire American people
for unity, for total backing of
whatever policy he Iesigns to
pursue. He will have to have
Republican and Democratic sup
port as well as the support of
those so-called liberals and pro-
gressives whom he is trying to
wean away from Henry Wallace.
He will have to have the support
of management and the working
man as well as of the labor lead
ers and labor union careerists
to whom he is SO devoted. He
will need the support of white
American citizens as well as of
Negro American citizens whom
he suddenly has discovered as
his friends although he discri-n-
mated against them most of his
life. He will need the support of
Mayflower defendants as well
as the newer immigrants in the
Northern cities.

CREDIT Many readers have
sent in questions on the origin
of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, based presumably
on the recent announcement
that of the F. D. l. C. is now on
its own financially, having re-
paid the amount advanced by
the government.
Il have seen credit for this
organization given to the late
President Roosevelt" writes c.
R. B. of St. Matthews, S. c.
1T is my impression that Sena-
tor Vandenberg was responsible
for that bill, possibly with Mr..
Roosevelt's disapproval."
Answer: c. R. B. is correct.
F. D. RS attitude on this propo-
sal was about the only thing for
which the banking community
praised him, although it is prob
ably that majority of the ma
tons financirs now approve it.
Mr.. Roosevelt feared that lnsur-
ance of deposits would operate
to the disadvantage of the more
efficient institutions.
A strong believer in the Van
denberg Bill was former Vice
President John Nance Garner.
and in Bascom Timmons' forth
coming biography entitled Gar
ner of Texas" a most revealing
work, the Texas statesman tells
of his efforts to win Mr.. Roose-
welt to the legislation. He also
notes that Mr.. Roosevelt subse.
quently took credit for F.D.LC.
BENEFIT In commenting on
recent discssion here of the
various bonus proposals on Cap
itol Hill, numerous readers have
placed their finger on a rarely
noted problem which may make
difficult the enactment Of any
general financial benefit for vet

Il have been surprised" says

count of a solon advocating
bonus that would bridge the gap
between the thousands Of dol
lars in cash and benefits some
of the vets have received, and
the big goose eggs others have

Sam an education worth 5000.
Some will receive thousands Of
dollars in government checks

Lions Club
Deserves A
Vote of Thanks

The annual Lions Club Festival
in Roanoke Rapids is over for
anottIr year.
AL that is left to do is for the
members of the Lions Club to
-s,ean up the school grounds and
put away the various implements
used for the festival.
We think that the festival was
m astounding success. We don't
know how much of financial
success it was, but this we do
know, everyone enjoyed attend
ing the various functions at the
festival.
Friday nights Coronation Ball
was a fitting climax to the week
OF activities.
We hail the Queen, Miss Betty
Wynne Ingram.
The Lions Club deserves a vote
of thanks from the community
for sponsoring the festival and
providing all of the entertain
ment.
The merchants of Roanoke
Rapids who donated prizes, the
Woman's Club, those who deco
rated booths and in other ways
helped to make the festival a
success also deserve a vote of
thanks.
Congratulations and thanks to
all of those who in anyway help
ed to make the Festival sue
cess. May next years be even
better.

BY GEORGE SOKOLsKY

Mr.. Truman has missed the
tone of the hour. This is not the
time to "give them hell" 1t is a
time for serious and sober dis
cussion of national affairs. 1t is
not a time for McKinley-Bry-
an Campaign, nor even for a
Roosevelt-Wilkie Campaign. 1t is
time for Lincoh-Douglas de-
bates.
Let me cite one reason:
At the moment that Mr.. Tru-
man is giving them hell-as he
put it-American delegates are
meeting with delegations of all
nations to continue to reach a
peace. In fact, we may be very
the war ended but there is no
peace. In face, we may be very
close to a fighting war. The Rus
slams may decide to push us out
of Berlin at any moment and
should they do it, we shall either
have to fight or suffer defeat
and one is as bad as the other.
1t is a very SOLDERING thought
that we are, in this September,
1913, at the climatic moment of
World War II.
Under our Constitution, we
have to hold a general election
this year, to choose President,
the whole body of the House of
Representatives and one-third of
the Senate. No election could
have been held at a worse time.
But there it is and decent men
make the most of it without de-
grading themselves or their
country. Unfortunately, year
after year, the elections become
more vaudevillian. There are
many explanations for this trend
but the trend itself is too obvious
not to cause distress.

(Q) IF A DEAD MAN IN
SLANDERED. MAY HIS WO.
DOW COLLECT DAMAGES?

(A) A butcher was killed in
an auto accident. Some months
later, his long time competitor
told several people that the dead
man had been Gust plain,
ordinary thief" When his widow
heard about this, she sued the
other man for causinng her
shame ad humiliation" by his
accusations. But the court ruled
that she was not entitled to any
thing, because there had been no
accusations made directly against
her. The judge pointed out that,
in a legal sense, the only one
slandered was her dead hus-
band.

Washington, Sept. 25-B. S. of
Columbus, O., wants to know
how Capitol Hill supporters of
the Taft-H artley Act have Jared
in the primaries which have
been held so far. The A. F. of
LIS League for Political Educa-
ton has called mans attitude
toward this legislation the "acid
test" Of his eligibility for union
support.
mo matter how many favor
able voices a Congressman may
have had in the past" reads
this ultimatum, his vote on the
Taft-Hartley Act was the one
that proved whether he was
fair-weather friend or a man Of

two states-Rhode Island and
Wisconsin-stin to hold their
primaries, labor's purge has been
singulary unsuccessful. OF $50
House members who shouted
AYE" and sougt denomination
268 have won. Even in the case
of casualties, it is difficult to
prove definitely that the vic
TINS vote on this measure was
responsible for his defeat.
On the other hand, labor
spokesman note that no member
who voted against the law has
suffered a setback in the pri-
maries. They also point out that
majority of the workingmen
are registered as Democrats, and,
therefore, would have only a ne
eligible influence in Republican
contests. There is, too, the fact
that a sitting or veteran M. c.
usually has a great advantage
over a challenger.
The practical politicians in the
field suspect that the big-name
leaders of the William
Green, Philip Murray, John l..
Lewis. etc.,-are more agitated
over the measure than the rank
and file Of their organizations.
But there can be no conclusive
answer to that question until
Election Day itself.
