Symphony Music Pleases Audience
 At Sunday Concert

More than 25O of the Valleys music lovers were reluctant to see members of the Anchorage little Symphony quit their or chestra seats after two hours of music last Sunday afternoon. Again and again they called back conductor Peter Britch and they would not be content until harp ist Margo Freeman and soloist Nan Jones Adams added encoreS to their scheduled concert num- bers.
 Appreciative and interested throughout the well-planned con- cert program, Valley-ites later crowded to the front of the the atre to verbally express their enjoyment of the Anchorage con- cert.
 Music that was fun to listen to played by a concert orchestra in performance as smooth as many a professional group of musi- clans could give, had local folk requesting return engagement as soon as the Anchorage sym phony could be prevailed upon to come again to the Valley.
 Following the concert, orches- tra members went to the Lodge where they were entertained at a tea in the lounge. Tea arrange ments were planned by Miss Jen- nie Skule, who was assisted by Miss Dolores Zeis, Miss Peggy Elfsen, Miss Jean Dickon and Mrs. Harry Johnson as hostesses.
 The Anchorage visitors left for home shortly after 6 o'clock Sun- day evening.

These are fish pennants. You
land a tuna, you fly a tuna pen
nant; catch a marlin, fly mar
lin pennant. You can't tell the
fish without a pennant.
Oppy also sells the cocktail
pennant, a flag employed by
boatmen to indicate that drinks
are being served aboard. It's a
red-and-white flag with a cock
tail glass in the center. If the
ships liquor supply is low, the

Scholars! Are you for Harvard?
Are you for Yale? Then let your

The crimson of Harvard, the

Oppy made a profit of 5000

years since, one ambition burned
as steadily as Oppy's cigar - he
wanted to take an order for a
million flags. It sounds fantastic,
but one day it happened. He
called his sales manager. Yes
sir, a million. Silk, too, no cheap
stuff. Then the sales manager
asked the big question: What
size flags do they want. Oppy?"
Oppy swallowed hard. Then
he said defiantly, Two by three

7O-year-old ''Oppy''
loves football but
he doesn't care which
team wins the game

In JOKES and legends, mythical
l. statesmen sell refrigerators to
Eskimos, or hot cakes in Hades.
But I know a damyankee who
sells 10000 Confederate flags a
year, and he's no myth.
His name is ]. A. Open
heimer and he's the dean of pen
nant peddlers.
Oppy is almost 70 years old.
But he still covers 13 states,
driving 14,0OO miles a year.
Oppy knows all the obvious
outlets to the flag trade. But
he prefers the challenge of
virgin territory. Take Israel,
for example. No sooner was
Israel proclaimed to the world
than Oppy was doing a brisk
business with the Israel flag.
Waiting as the Gate
If HAWAII or Alaska became
the forty-ninth state, Oppy
would hop aboard the first plane
with his order book. He was
waiting at the gate when An-
zona and New Mexico were ad-
mitted 40 years ago.
Pennant peddlers like to stay
near the coasts. This puts them
in the maritime business which
is firmly based on International
code signal pennants. A set for
a yacht now costs about SIPS
and up to three times as much
for the Navy, Coast Guard and
Merchant Marine, all steady
customers.
