Figures Show That 86O,O4O
Attended Seasons Music Events
By Alice Eversmon

The infallibility of figures is an
established fact. There may be
some fallibility in setting them up
but this possibility did not deter
us from trying to find out, in ac-
tual numbers, how many attended
musical events during the 1949-50
season. The amazing thing re-
vealed by this poll is that prac-
tically all of those concerned with
presenting musical programs kept
a record Of attendance. This was
comparatively easy as regards the
paid admissions, but free concerts
in this city, which are also Of i'm
portance. might have offered some
difficulty. Yet, in answer to phone
calls, the data was Immediately
=, forthcoming.
The conservative estimate ar
rived at was that 860,040 people
attended concerts last year.
In undertaking this vast survey,
the first thing apparent was the
impossibility Of gathering accu-
rate information as to the
numerous extra -- events taking
place each month. We attempted
a general summary based on what
is listed in the Sunday papers.
This could not be complete, for
many times notices Of concerts are
sent in too late to be included in
the Sunday page and some are not
sent in at all. From the listing,
however, it appears that approx
mately Is organ recitals were
given in churches, not considering
the Washington Cathedral and
other musical events in churches,
amounting to something like 100.
Gathering the recitals held in
the Arts Club, the Washington
Club. Sulgrave Club, Pierce Hall,
Friendship House, extra affairs
such as the Hamilton Bank con-
test and appearances by the glee
clubs. choruses, groups like the
Chevy Chase Chanters, Barber
Shop Quartets. Boys Club Band In
Constitution Hall and elsewhere,
performances by the Columbia
Light Opera Company and other
opera groups. makes for a sizable
number. Estimating season with
400 concerts in this category would
be on the minimum side. II one
chooses 200 as an average figure
OF attendance, the total is 10000.
Naturally. the number of people
hearing these events is attained
by guesswork and error may be
found on one side or the other.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The Sal
vation Army rounds out 10 years
of American service this year with
many changes made in its meth
ods since the first little band from
England landed in New York in
1880.
"The biggest change lies in a
greatly broadened program. now
aimed at prevention as we'll as
cure" says Commissioner Ernest
Pugmire. national commander of
the Salvation Army in the United
States.
"Once the army concentrated
on drunkards, down -and-outers
and the slums. Now the work done
by its 1873 corps units rays out
in 48 States to help whole families
in diStress-alcoholics, prisoners,
young girls living on small salaries
and many more.
Widespread Interests.
1--WE found many outside the
slums need our services. So we
decided we would not concentrate
on one type, but would help people
in many areas and segments of
the population.
The army has made other
changes. The famous tambourine
that jingled on thousands of street
corners was replaced this year in
some Midwestern cities by a red
shield shaped box. The army made
the change because racketeers had
begun to shake tambourines in
Detroit, Chicago and other cities
and pocket the quarters and dimes
which people thought they were
giving to charity. The tambourine
will still be used In many cities
to collect funds for the arlnys
work. however.
Coal Scuttle Bonnets Gone.
The big coal scuttle bonnets the
army 1assies used to wear are
gone for good. replaced by snug
little head-hugging bonnets. The
high collared uniform worn by the
army's officers has been exchanged
in summer for a suit with a turn
down lapel.
The Christmas kettle, which has
swung on thousands of street cor
ners to collect funds for the needy.
is one of the old symbols which
still remains. But some changes
are made in the way its contents

are distributed. Once the army
sent well-filled baskets to families
in need. Today it often sends q
check, so that the parents won't
need to tell their children they
could not provide Christmas fol
them.
Religious Services Change.
The army's religious services
have changed too. since the days
when little bands held their meet
ings on any handy street corner
or in dance halls. skating rinks OF
tents. Those meetings were con-
Quoted with high degree of show
manship to meet the competition
of the times. Bands played, tam
bourines jingled, army officers

YOUTH ROBBED

WhitehOuse Drive-ln EN-
plOyee Is Robbed of Wallet
At Gun Point

Police in northwestern Ohio are
seeking two men who "stuck a
gun in the ribs" of 18-year-Old
Duane Melman at the WhitehOuSe
Drive In, Perry and Monroe
Streets, at 5:55 Sunday morning
and robbed the youth of his bill
fold and $54 in cash.
Melman was alone at the res
taurant when the robbery took
place only five minutes before the
arrival of owner, Lyle Mayhem.
The youth was burning papers
behind the drive-in when the two
men jumped from a 1850 green
Oldsmobile two-door sedan, and
took his billfold at gun point.
Mayhew's partner. Roger Mark
ley, had been on duty until 4
a. m. When Mayhem learned of
the robbery, he reimbursed Mel
man for his loss. The youth was
so shaky after the robbery that
he could not remember the license
number of the car used by the
robbers.

URGES SEWAGE
DISPOSAL PLANT
FOR THIS CITY
$650,000 Needed In Hurry To
Build Plant Ordered
BY State

"It's later than you think" E.
S. Hoyt of the Ohio Department
of Health, Columbus, told local
councilmen Tuesday evening as
he urged them to begin immediate
plans for construction of sew
age disposal plant in this city.
"The sewage disposal law was
approved in the last legislature
and one day soon it will become
mandatory that we force every
community to build a disposal
plant" Hoyt warned councilmen.
Hoyt made it plain that it is
up to the city fathers to finance
the plant on their own initiative
as no state or federal funds, with
the exception of planning loans,
are available.
Coming especially to view the
new improvements at the local
waterworks plant, Mr.. Hoyt COM
mended the city on the modern
improvements. "The old part of
the building sticks out like sore
thumb, but you've made mar
velous start" the official said.
Port Clinton months ago re-
ceived a $4,000 loan from the
federal government, and plans for
the sewage disposal plant have
been completed long ago. All
that remains is the slight problem
of raising an estimated $650,000
to build the plant.
Mr.. Hoyt, armed with a list Of
Ohio cities using the plan, sug-
geSted that the previously pro-
posed sewer rental plan be adopt
ed here.
City Solicitor John Reinheimer
and councilmen said that an edu-
cational program would be need
ed to convince residents of the
necessity. 'Too many people COM
plain that they've already been
taxed for one sewer and they're
loath to nav for another" Rein
heimer added.
Hoyt promised Mayor Carl Beck
er that speakers would be sent
here to explain the need when-
ever meetings are arranged. Even
if the sewer rental plan becomes
operative, approval of tax levy
will be needed to build the sew.
age disposal plant.

PHONE SERVICE
SET FOR PAYNE
ADDITION AREA
Residents Change Minds And
Ask Repeal of Ordinance
FOrbidding Poles

At their own request, and
through decided change in at
titude, residents of the Laurel
Avenue-Payne Addition area will
soon have telephone service.
Armed with a petition bearing
names of over IS residents, said
to be 80 per cent of the home
owners in the area, five of the
men appeared before city council
Tuesday evening when they re-
quested repeal of an ordinance
passed at their request June 10,
1947.
This ordinance had forbidden
erection of telephone poles in the
Payne Addition which was the
result of lengthy controversy
three years ago when the North
ern Ohio Telephone Company,
Payne Addition residents and the
city council were involved.
At that time, the residents
wanted telephone service but
would not permit erection of
poles. They requested that the
company place underground cab
les to serve the area. Their re-
quest was not granted and the
matter was dormant until recent
weeks when residents conferred
with James Peltier, manager of
the phone firm, and Learned the
facts.
When questioned by council.
men, Peltier promised that the
Payne Addition residents will get
the phone service they desire and
at the same rates as other city
residents. Poles will be erected
to serve the customers, and wires
will not be placed on the existing
Ohio Edison poles which carry
5000 voltage.
Council approved the request
for repeal of the ordinance, and
Peltier promised that the tele.
phone pole construction will gel
underway as soon as possible, &C.
cording to schedule.
