Park Concerts
Will Begin Here
Sunday, July 10

Two important "firsts'' will
be observed by Seattle people
who attend the opening Park
Department concert in Volun-
teer Park on Sunday, July 10.
The presentation of Siglnund
Romberg's "New Moon" will be
the first in series of light opera
concerts and the production will
be the first given upon the Park
Department IS new concert stage
This new type of acoustical stege
is regarded as superior to any pre-
vious type of outdoor bandshell,
according to Paul v. Brown. Park
Superintendent. The stage was de-
signed by Philip Jacobsen, director
of the audio-visual department at
the University Of Washington, and
executed by the Park Departments
own staff of architects. engineers
and craftsmen.
Each section of the proscenium,
wines and backdrop of the stage
is individually designed and con-
structed to focus sound upon micro
phones placed in strategic locations.
The acoustical design and the cleo
trical sound equipment were deve-
Hoped as an integrated unit to pro-
vide maximum fidelity in reproduc-
ing the music and distributing it
equally over the broad audience
area.
The stage is 80 by IS feet in size
with playing area of so by 80 feet.
A foam rubber floor covering will
be used over the entire playing area
to reduce incidental noise to a min
imum. The stage is large and strong
enough to accommodate full opera
productions If the public shows suf-
ficient interest in this type of music
to justify such presentations.
While stout enough to support
hundreds of persons or such pom
derous operate props as horse
and rider or a carriage, the stage
is also portable. Each part of the
structure is assembled of demount-
able units. Its foundation is made
up of tubular steel sections capable
of being disassembled, expanded or
contracted. Each foundation section
is equipped with built-in screw jacks
which make it possible to set up the
stage on varying types of terrain
without extensive leveling operations.
Our aim in making the stage

Bring Your Child
To Health Clinic

The Child Health Clinic at Neigh
borhood House, 304 18th South, will
operate the fourth Wednesday after
noon of each month only, beginning
in July, announced Dr. John Will
key of the Seattle and King County
Department of Public Health. If
the clinic becomes too crowded, DR.
Wilkey said, additional clinic days
will be added.
The July clinic, therefore, will be
on July 81, beginning at pm. and
the August clinic on Aug. "a.
The clinic, which serves all in
fants and small children, was star
ted by the Jackson st. Community
Council as the result of need ex-
pressed by the people for a neigh
borhood clinic to which mothers
might take their children for a re-
gular physical checkup.
In November, 1913, the Health
Department agreed to help out with
the clinic and assigned a doctor
and nurse to examine the children
and advise parents regarding the
children's care.
All parents residing in the area are
urged TO use these services.

Looking Ahead
ON SELLING SOCIALISM
BY GEORGE S. BENSON

Sometimes political prophets pre-
DICT things they wish would come
true. not just what they believe
is actually going to happen. On the
che hand, some of these prophets
are saying: Things are bad. They
will get worse, and fail completely
unless the government takes over
Some others are saying: Things
are bad. They will get worse, and If
they keep getting worse the govern
ment will surely take over
You see, these prophets of doom
always breathe the same answer.
Either things will get SO bad the
government will then take full and
complete control, or the threat of
possible failure will cause the gov
eminent to step in. These two warm
ings are, the same. They equal one
idea, and they show what certain
politicians are thinking: govern
ment management.
Would-be Managers
Today. these statesmen for social
ism are feverishly but quietly going
about setting the scene for chaos.
They are devoted to the cause of
government management. These are
the fellows who claim we in Ameri-
ca are generation or more behind
the social" progress that European
countries have achieved. AS if Amer
lea needed to catch up with Europe
I always thought we were spending
billions in Europe, to help them start
to catch up with us!

of us know what they want. They

this session If possible
Ishikawa and Masaoka were in
Sacramento ON June % and u to
meet with ASsemblymen and Sen
ators on some forty four measures
affecting japanese Americans, spe-
officially and generally OF direct
concern to Japanese Americans,
among various measures were
those relating TO reduction of
aliens sport fishing license fee
from SOS to So repeal Of the alien
land law. and the creation Of
fair employment practices commits
sion.
Because of the last-minute rush
of legislative business due TO adj
journment in about week. assem-
blymen suggested it would be more
appropriate to defer extensive dis
cuSsion until after the session had
been concluded
Slated for this postponed meeting
with friendly state legislators are
ten items which were set forth by
Ishikawa and Masaoka This needed
legislation for Japanese Americans
includes:
1. Eliminating cemetery discri-
minatiOn in refusing burials 10
Japanese and other minorities.
2. Restoration to Issei Of bust
ness licenses formerly held by eva
cuees but which now require exa-
limitations.
3. Inclusion of Issei and other
aliens in pension payments. If
otherwise qualified.
5. Release of payments with
held on unemployment insurance
due to evacuees being detained in
centers.
6. Return of monies paid by de-
PENDANTS in settlement of escheat
suits under the Alien Property
Act.
7. Deficiency appropriation to
reimburse evacuees for Brandy
Pool dividend checks issued during
evacuation period by State Depart
ment Of Agriculture but cashcd
by unauthorized persons.
=. Amendment to the Alien
Land Law to include a statute Of
Limitations.
3. Amendment to the Alien
Land Law TO affirm validity Of
property title held by japanese
Americans.
10. Extension of authority i'm the
Labor Code of California to cover
agricultural labor and regulate
wages, hours, and working condi-
tiOns for women and minors in the
industries handling farm products
after harvest.
Since the 1850 session is by law
required to deal with budget items,
plans will have to be mapped for the
1851 session in which these various
measures desirable for the relief of
Japanese Americans may be pushed.
Legislators offered to meet with
JACL ADO representatives at an
appropriate time and place to dis
cuss strategy on these state legis-
lative measures.
