ELMWOOD P. T. A.

The first meeting Of the Elm
wood P. T. A. September 18th,
at 800 P. M. was very inter-
esting and enlightening.
One of the features of the
evening was the garden and
hobby exhibit. The children
are to be commended on the
wonderful cooperation shown,
and the result was many large
tables filled with fruits, veg
etables and flowers. We wish
to thank Mrs. Anna Fisher for
the interest shown in helping
the children in the arrange
ments of these exhibits. The
hobbies were varied and inter-
esting. Doll, salt and pep
per shaker collections, model
airplanes and even live pig
cons were to be seen. Thanks
girls and boys for helping
make our first meeting a grand
success.

of interest and the teacher as
one who wants to help" Some
of the requirements for OBJ

By Alice Eversmon

The first program of the summer
season comparable to those OF the
winter series was given by the Ma
tional Symphony at the Water Gate
last night. Howard Mitchell con-
fined it to Bach, Beethoven and
Brahms, and discounting the large
number of admirers who turned
out especially to hear Claudio Arrau
as soloist, the capacity size OF the
audience proved that these noble
names are not too awe-inspiring to
draw during the summertime. 1t
was an unusually pleasant evening
to enjoy such a program. The
threatening clouds floated away a
short time before the concert hour
to allow for another magnificent
sunset and a clear, dark sky later.
The heat of the day was forgotten
in the cool breeze that circulated
all during the performance.
1t was needed especially for the
pianist who had selected the all
demanding Emperor" Concerto for
this appearance. In splendid in
terpretive mood, Mr.. Arrau also
gave a virtuoso account of the bril-
liant bravura passages that was
truly impressive. There was pres
ent continually finely chiseled de-
tails that were colored by the
poetic substance that the artist
brings to his tone. His trills and
softly executed measures had a
dulcet loveliness that made them
oases Of beauty amid the mighty
span of the concerto's plan. The
feeling for the ebb and flow OF
effects, the great climaxes and the
singing moments, showed his keen
insight of the emotional pattern
of the music and his powers to de-
pict it.
The concerto can have more
buoyancy than Mr.. Arrau brought
to it and excitement of a larger
kind, but his conception Of 1t was
wrought with the care and inten-
ton of a musicianly seeker after
perfect delineation. Rhythmically
exact and clean-cut in design, he
gave a polished account OF each
phrase and built them into the
composers overall scheme with
extraordinary skill. His perform
ance loosened a storm Of applause
that continued for some time but
brought no. encore. Mr.. Mitchell,
who had done remarkable work in
the r6pecco of his adiI1StmeOt ct
the orchestral accompaniment to
the artists wishes, shared in the
acclaim
It was also an evening OF
high attainment for Mr.. Mitchell
throughout. He showed his mettle
as a conductor to an admirable
degree in his reading of the Brahms
Symphony No. l." He, too. is an
interpreter of vision, reflected in
his regard and concern for the
color pattern of the music. Much
came out in the performance OF the
Symphony" that is not always re-
vealed. 1t had a prismatic glow
as we'll as intensity of feeling. The
line was broad and the underlying
potency of the music, its lyricism
and it's fire. were understood and
set forth with arresting effect. 1t
was vivid presentation that
showed the directing hand OF an
artist who handles his orchestral
body with a painters skill.
Two sections Of the orchestra

 MT. Hopkinson summed up the situation briefly but comprehensivelv when he said that the problem lis how best to extend the required aid to Western Europe with the least unfavorable impact upon our own economy" The president of the Investment Bankers laid chief stress, not unnaturally on the importance of financial stabiization in Western Eur ope. Observing that disordered foreign exchange is symptom of economic disorder, and not cause he expressed the view that currency sabilization must be regarded a condition of American aid rather than as an object thereof" Without stabili- zation he emphasized, American aid "can afford no lasting benefit to Europe or to US
 Fortunately, MT. Hopkinsons views the i'm portance of financial and economic stability shar ed by the Committee of European Economic Coopera- tion comprised of representatives of the sixteen par ticpatng nations The president of the IBA believes that sabilzation should, if possible be carried out even before the plan any part of it goes into effect There may be some cases where stablization could be demanded prerequisite of aid under the Marshall Plan But certainly this could not be laid down as a general rule since dollar aid and stabza partake largely of the nature of cause and effect As MT Hopknson says, the absence of stability is symptom-and in many cases, at least it is a symp- tom of financial ills which be remedied only with certain amount of outside aid.

INVESTIGATION NEEDED

This newspaper would be neglecting it's duty II IL of a tubercuous Indian child in the Alaska Native Service sanatorium at Alice Island near Sitka. The boy was struck with length of rubber hose by nurse who lost her temper.
 The fact that this nurse was allowed to remain on the staff of the hospital after the incident was reported to administrative heads makes the matter even more shocking She should have been dismissed at
 We are quite sure that had this happened to a white child the nurse would have found herself facing serious charges long ago
 The report of the beating came to this newspaper from former ANS employee, who was fired recently In his letter reporting the incident he stated that the reason il was not reported earlier was that he felt he had done enough bringing to the atten- ton of high ANS authorities but since that time he has changed his mind feeling as we do that no proper action was taken by the ANS.
 It is unfortunate that this man has lost his job, but he is to be compmented for having the courage to bring the matter into the open.
 He claims that the nurse flogged the child With a hose used to sluce down the wash-room, while ANS authorities claim it a surgical hose which IS smaller Either one is bad enough, and we fail to see any defense for the action.
 It seems to us that though this incident is six months old it deserves thorough investiga- tion along with reports of thefts of government property at the Sitka institution.

and they wondered why he came. It took them some time to under stand that a lot of people in other parts of the world wished Europe well. It gave them hope.
 The other day my brother phon- ed me from London saying that Foreign Minister Gruber of Austria was disappointed because the Friendship Train did not visit Aus tria. Actually Austria is getting part of the recent Congressional interim-aid appropriation; also, several U. s. cities allocated Friendship boxcars to Austria through Church World Service However, Foreign Minister Gruber wanted visible evidence of Ameri- can friendship-for the Friendship Train itself to come to Austria so his people could know about it.
 EXPERIMENi IN BROTHER
 
 So, with scientists ill good part of the world working on the latest and most fiendish weapons for un- locsing death in the world, there has been at least one experiment in going back to one of the oldest principles of mankind-the Brother hood of Men.
 During the war we dropped rifles to the Maquis in France and with the rifles we dropped bags Of tea and messages of cheer We also dropped cakes of soap over Ger many, with messages on the wrap pers calculated to woo the people away from Hitler And we sent American labor leaders behind the enemy lines to win over the en- emy'S labor unions. In fact, we stopped at nothing, spared no dollar to hasten the end of the war This was important and successful strategy.
 PEACE STRATEGY
 But successful strategy in war, with slight variations, sometimes can be equally successful in peace. For instance, Anon Garter, pub fisher of the Fort Worth Star-Tele- gram. together with the Lions Club and various other big hearted Texans, carefully stamped their flour bags for the Friendship Train with messages to the French and Italian people. Those flour bags are certain to be used as dress es for children and for dish rags and washcloths and the messages of friendship will be read and re- read
 Likewise will be read the mes sages sent by President Truman's home folks in Jackson County, Mis- souri, and by various others in- clndine. We hope, the messages we

 There are all sorts of ways of making friends, of getting people close to people-from exchanging students and books and professors to sending American labor leaders to convince leIt-wingerS that we are not imperialists and that our only ambition is to get along peacefully with the rest of the world. So far, however, we haven't even scratched the surface and it's going to take a real offensive for peace if we are going to win the peace in 1948 and the immediate years to come.

EUROPEAN PUBLIC IMPRESSED

EUROPEAN PUBLIC IMPRESSED
 In Europe the public seems to have been impressed with the people -to-people feature of the Friendship Train. Even the Communists, who have been wag- ing the most vitriolic anti-Ameri- can campaign since the days of Hitler, have been forced to treat the Friendship Train with cordial ity. Politically, they couldn't af- ford to do otherwise. The Com munists have been telling the Eu- ropean people that all Americans are bandits and imperialists; fol- lowing which, gesture comes from school kids and the labor unions and the railroads and the churches and business men of America which proves that they are not bandits at all.
 Folks over here have been im- pressed with the fact that Braz- ilian, Ambassador Oswaldo Aran- ha. came to Philadelphia to bid Godspeed to the first Friend Ship when it departed for France. Brazil was getting no part of the food

fact that now they have been sabotaging our defence for peace defenses which are just as impor- tant, perhaps more so, than Guam. And if l948 or the years immed- lately following should bring war, then the debates on the State De- partments budget and on interim aid for Europe and on the Marshall Plan will be adjudged just as. inn portant cornerstones for defense as the pre-Pearl Harbor votes of Minnesota's Knutson and New York's Ham Fish and all the others who tried to obstruct wartime pre- paration of the United States.
 But entirely aside from these U. s. Governmental attempts to wage the battle for peace, am con- vinced that the American people are frequently ahead of their Gov ernment in believing that we must work just as hard to build for peace as we did to win the war. The letters I have received from readers. the talks l have had in different parts of the country and, especially, the reaction to the Friendship Train all indicate this to be the fact.
