'jUNEAU SlNGERS'
 IS NAME CHOSEN
 BY CHORAL GROUP

The chorus which gave an out standing holiday performance of "The Messiah" plus other inter 5sted songsters, met last evening to perfect a permanent organiza- tion.
 After a long search and much discussicn about a permanent name, the group voted to be called the Juneau Singers" At the same meeting, the Singers adopted the constitution and bylaws as pre- pared by William l.. Paul, Sr., with very few amendments.
 Considering the weather thai faced venturous singers the re- hearsal was well attended. Three choruses of "The Messiah" to bc programmed for an Easter concer. were rehearsed under the direction of Mrs. Jane McMullin. Acccm panying the Singers was Mrs. Isabel Chester.
 According to President Lauris Iarry) Parker, charter membership is open to interested persons, simp- ly by attending rehearsals and signing the membership roll. The chorus voted that dues will be $: a year (S1 semester). The periods are September 1-Decemher 31, first semester; January 1-May 3l, sec ond.
 Parker hopes there will be nc misunderstanding as to the nature of the group.
 Although we meet every week for rehearsals in the Methodisi Church" he said, "the Juneau Singers is a non-ssctarian organi- zation. Singers of all faiths joined at Christmas time to present al inspiring performance of The Mes siah' All singers are welcome tc join-and urged to do so.'
 In this regard, Parker called at tention to Section Two of the newly adopted constitution. This reads The purpose shall be to promote community study and singing bS a sincere systematic effort in ire quent rehearsals and concerts, bott singly or with other groups, in sucf a way as to stimulate the love for mIlSic that is in this cOrlnllnitv and awaken talent in both thI adult and the young that otherwise might either be lost or too lon deferred"

was not greater than the differ ence between capitalism and so- cialism; between centralized, ov- erwhelming federal administration and local rights; between spending ourselves into bankruptcy and eff ficient, provident administration between a paternalistic, socialistic welfare state and the rights of the individual to form the pattern of his own life.
 Yet, back in 1860, the new Re- publicans were courageous. They ran Abraham Lincoln on a platform which stated a philosophy of life in no uncertain terms. They risked failure as they had already failed once with John c. Fremont. They were uncompromising as Lincoln was uncompromising. And they won the election because they had something positive to say.
 To do as Truman does, to im- rrovise as Acheson improvises, to add up minorities as Jimmy Roose- velt and Junior add up minorities, to straddIe as the ADA straddles, to try to please anyone who is dis pleased with Truman, from John L. Lewis to James Byrnes, is not good politics because it means noth- ing. It will not win an election as it has not won an election since 1882.
 Lock at the Republican platform of 1860 to see men who think and believe can speak to their coun- trynen!
 That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the de- claration of independence and en- bodied in the Federal Constitution. that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable tights: that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, $ essential to the preservation 5f our Republican institutions; and that the Federal Constitution, the Rights of the States, must and shall be preserved.
 That to the Union of the States this nation owes it's unprecedented increase in population, its surpr;s- ing development of material re- sources, it's rapid augmentation of wealth, it's happiness at home and its hcnor abroad; and we hold Tn adherence all schemes for Dis union, come from whatever source they may.
 Can you imagine any Republicans saying that today? They beat around the bush, hemming and having in the hope that having opened their mouths they do not !ose more votes than they gain.
 often ask: What his this party or any party in the United States to offer young men and women in their 30s and 20's? These young people are not cynical. They want to believe in something. They want o believe in something sure and eositive. They turn to such move ments as moral rearmament, world sederalists, union noW-yes, even to the Communist Party-because shese movements speak affirmative ly. Young people insist upon an affirmative statement They a-e tired of meandering among words.

 The Democrats enjoy the dS- comfiture of the Republicans that their committee on policy labored and aborted. The Republicans en- joy the spectacle of a Democratic Party that knows not where it goes and has one solution to all problems, namely, to spend more money.
 The truth of the matter IS that neither party really has a program. The Democrats improvise from day to day, covering up mistakes as they go along, depending upon the expenditure of money, on subsidies and the Augmentation of the popu- lation into pressure groups demand ing special aid and privileges, to pull them into another term.
