Its Monroe At
Arena March 19

Singers, dancers and comedi-
ans are not the only solo talents
who get the spotlight with the
Vaughn Monroe 35-strong enter
tainment unit, which will ap-
pear at the Toledo Sports Arena
or Sunday, March 10. In the last
few years Vaughn Monroe has
been featuring heavily the violin
virtuoSity of tall, blonde and
good looking Earle Hummel,
whose fiddle artistry, has high
lighted many a concert and
stage show in his short career.
Earle's training for top place
in the Monroe string section has
been first class and intense. He
was born in Saugerties, New
York, on March 81, 1906. With
a violinist father and a mother
who was fine pianist, Earle
formed strong musical ties at an
early age. He made his first pub
lie appearance at 7 as soloist
with the symphony orchestra in
Kingston, New York - playing
the Mozart d Major violin con-
certo. In 1929 he gave the first
of four violin recitals in New
York's famous Town Hall, and
between then and the beginning
of his association with the Mon
roe organization he was for sew
eral years concert master for the
New Orleans Symphony and
later the Ballet Russo.
Earle graduated from Albany,
New York, High School - later
attending New York University
for three years. His best efforts
in school were directed along the
lines OF mathematics, and his
spare time activities also reflect
the same turn of mind. He is an
expert chess and bridge player,
having been a Class A chess
champ of New York State once,
and state team bridge cham
pion twice.
AS boy he played a great
deal of tennis and remembers
harboring dreams of becoming
a member of the Davis Cup
Team. His father had quite diff
ferent ideas, however. dad
made me practice my violin,"I
recalls Earle. "In the light of the
success and happiness I've reap
ed from all that practicing, II
can't say I'm sorry"

S315, 900, 900. The additional
funds would 60 to Puerto

The other amendment eIar-

bills under consideration pro-

Federal Courts by exempting
them under the general prohi-
bition clause.

plication for that loan was re-

These three, with the public

proved, should do a great deal
to relieve the housing short

brackets and should provide

national calamities, and to de-
wise and carry on measures for
preventing them"
Here in Toledo, a quota of
$260,040, of a national goal of
$67, 100000 has been assigned.
Toledo, as community, is jeal-
Gus of its splendid record in Red
Cross campaigns. Not once since
drives began here in 1917 have
the people of the Toledo area
failed to achieve their assigned
goal.
Nationally and locally the
funds are expended for disaster
relief, service to members of the
armed forces, veterans and their
families, nursing services, Junior
Red Cross In which 59,782 To-
ledo school children are enroll
ed, safety, food and nutrition
services.
The core of the success of the
Red Cross during war and peace
is provided by volunteers who
serve as staff aides, workers in
prodution and supply, social
welfare welfare aides, canteen
workeres, motor service drivers
nurses aids and others. In Tole-
do last year volunteers con-
fributed 20,686 hours of their
time to carry on the work of the
local chapter.
Part of the money raised in
the Toledo campaign will be
used for relief and rehabilitation
in major catastrophes which
may occur in 1850. Part of it
will be spent in camps, stations,
hospitals and garrisons for serv-
ice to more than 100000 arm
ed force members throughout
the world from service centers
in Tokyo to canteens in Alaska.
India, Greece, New Guinea and
hundreds of other places where

Get Ready!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

THE OTHER DAY / came
u across a homely preverb
that was so pertinent l cut 1t
out to null over. Here 1t is:
"You can't keep trouble from
coming, but you needn't give
it a chair to sit on"
We ali know the kind Of
person who seems to welcome
trouble - who while bewail-
ing it still invites it in. You
know these are the people who
enjoy poor health. who seem
to take mournful pleasure
in talking b out how bad
things are. They get sort of
cheer out of seeing the dark
est side of things. They are
the ones who are always sure
the worst will happen - and
for them 1t does.
They are the people who
always have an alibi. There's
the girl who when asked why
she didn't do more accurate
work, said it was because she
wasn't paid enough. Now she
was not only giving trouble a
chair to sit on but was spread
ing a feast for it. Hers was a
vicious circle. She probably
wasn't paid what she thought
a good job was worth, but un-
less she did a good job, it was
certain she wouldn't be paid
at all!
There are those who face
the future by penny pinching
but at the same time squander
dollars of time. Not that I'm
talking against money in the
bank. u. S. Saving Bonds have
done a lot to convert their
buyers to the Importance of
saving. But there is something
more needed.
Don't forget that good health
to face weather is better than
a silk umbrella. And tn t
sound preparation by educa-
tion to earn a living is the
best insurance against econom-
ic insecurity. The development
of earning skill is an asset in
more ways than one. The way
to hold a job is to do that job
better than anyone else can do
1t.
Certainly this period of
world insecurity is going to
be difficult for all of us, but
we needn't make 1t worse. We
don't have to offer trouble a
chair. We can be ready to face
anything by preparing for it
- and by making ourselves
invaluable in the job we now
hold.

message was read. This read
ing of the message is a tradl-
tional ceremony of that day
and was beautifully done by
the Honorable John McSwee-
ney of Wooster, Ohio.
Immediately after the read
ing of those historic words the
filibuster began. Many roll
calls and the use of parlla-
mentary procedure that had
been in mothballs for over a
century held off general de-
bate on the bill until 5 p. m.
At almost 4 a. m, the fol-
lowing morning, after 16
hours of continuous session,
the House accepted the Nc
COnneIl substitute for the bill
that had been presented by
the House Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor. Weak as
that substitute was in its orig
inal form, its many amend
ments made it an absolute
travesty and mockery of Le-
gislation.
Like the Taft Hartley Act,
this legislation sets forth the
principle that people have GER
tain natural and constitutional
rights and that they must be
protected in the free exercise
of these rights and then pro-
vides, in a great number of
words, absolutely nothing in
the way of protection.
