Explains Mechanics OF Instrument

Skinner concern of Boston. 1t has
1900 pipes and a console of "a
stops. Mr.. Harrison had travelled
all over the world before building
this Baroque organ, an exact re-
plica of the instrument used by
Bach at Weimar, plus a modern
mechanical-electrical console.
In an interview with T. R. Ken
nedy, Jr. in the New York Times,
August 5, l945, Mr.. Biggs explain
ed Organ pipes may shout their
tones or 'breaths' into them GER
tain mellow elegance or quality
that is considered ideal for small
groups of people in limited inter
iors, hence ideal also for broad
casting. The Cambridge organ is
of the latter. The difference is a
matter of all-high pressure-for
the shouting or strident organ for
vast halls; low-pressure for the
mellow organ, suitable for the
microphone and the utmost in
quality for recording"
"There grew into prominence
also in Bach's time," he continu-
ed, "a guild of Organ artisans
which, by dint of great patience,
impaired to series of organ pipes
an admixture of tonal elements
that gave remarkable clarity. This
was known as 'Voicing' 'Voicing
is now a lost art. Today we are
attempting to recapture it and
the Harrison organ represents the
highest development along this
line"
Mr.. Biggs, who never performs
any work that has not been eX-
pressly written for organ, has ap-
peared with the Boston, Chicago
and Cincinnati Orchestras, the
great Bach festivals in ST. Louis
and Bethlehem and on many con-
cert series in this country. 1t has
been said that he largely respon-
sible for the revival of interest
in the organ as a concert instru-
ment.
Mr.. Biggs will be assisted on
the program by the Trinity Church
Choir which will render anthems
between the organ groups, under
the direction of Ernest Wenzel
with Miss Irene Hegenderfer or
gan accompanist. The concert
which will be open to the public
with free-will offering taken,
will be presided over by Trinity's
pastor, the Rev. E. J. Goedeking

,Golne Low Arrests
Reoch All-Time High
In Ohio During l948

Lester c. Baily, chief of the
Ohio Division of Conservation's
law enforcement section, reported
today that the fish and game
arrests in Ohio during 1949 to-
tailed 3081 exceeding any pre-
vious year by more than 500.
In only 10 cases out of the 3081
arrests, law enforcement officers
failed to secure conviction. Vio-
lators convicted paid SIS, ,130.50
in fines. The money so collected
is used, along with the income
from the sale of licenses, for
fish and game conservation and
restoration work.

Rain or
Unemployment
Still on Increase

Claims for unemployment COM
pensation have been mounting
steadily since the latter part of
October and as of last months
end there was no indication that
the peak had been reached, Frank
]. Collopy, administrator of the
Bureau of Unemployment Com
penSation, reported today.
The 48,447 claims filed last
month, Collopy said, represented
a 48 percent Jump from Novem-
ber. December's total was also
so percent greater than that for
the same period in 1947 but only
4 percent higher than December,
1916.
Collopy pointed out that the
number of unemployed compen-
sation claims filed normally in
creases in the fall but that the
current rise began somewhat
earlier than usual. He cautioned
that the Bureau was in no po-
sition to predict the future en-
ployment picture but only to cite
the facts on the existing situation.
He said that seasonal layoffs
in the construction trades, retail
stores and in the toy and clothing
industries were largely respon-
sible for the current claims trend.
However, lack of orders for fac
tory products and consequent
production cuts played part as
did shortage of certain basic ma
terials such as steel.
He stated that an everage of
32,897 persons collected unem-
ployment benefits last month.
That average, he said, was 8 per-
cent above December, l947, but
a full 33 percent below December,
1916.
The average weekly check for
total unemployment last month
S1859-represented an increase
for the sixth consecutive month.
Layoffs in the higher-wage in
dustries account for this rise.

when he purchased an old, two
story brick building at Fifth and
Plum SITS. from the Schalip fami-
ly. Here, he installed outside,
hand operated gasoline pumps
and continued his bulk distribut-
ing business from the new loca-
ton.
In 1893, Mr.. Scheiderer erected
the splendid service station which
today houses the Penn-Oil Co.
and provides complete lubrica-
ton and maintenance service for
automobiles. 1t was one of the
first of the modern super-service
stations in Marysville. In recent
years the business has been oper-
ated by one of his sons, Frank j.
Scheiderer.
In the days when Mr.. Scheid-
erer first started the business, it
was considered that the only good
oil came from Pennsylvania. To
indicate that he was handling
only products originating from
the oil fields of that state, he
called his business the Penn-Oil
Co.
On Church Council
After establishing his business
at the Chestnut st. location, Mr..
Scheiderer opened a coal yard
there, and the firm continued to
sell coal until the past year.
Mr.. Scheiderer was always an
active member of the First Eng
lish Lutheran Church, and served
many years as one of its Council
members. He was affiliated with
the Masonic Lodge, and, while it
was functioning here, with the
K. of P. Lodge. He served the
village of Marysville for several
years as a member of the Board
of Public Affairs, and was for
many years a director of the First
National Bank and its predeces-
sor, the old Bank of Marysville.
Surviving Mr.. Scheiderer are
three sons, Leo M, with whom he
resided in Ft. Myers, Fla; Frank
Scheiderer, who continues in the
Penn-On Co. here; and Fred
Scheiderer, employed in the Of
flee of the II. B. Salter Manu-
