The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1950-11-30

r EFORE the days of carefully
- studied and rigidly followed
schedules for infant welfare which
are prevalent today, the mothers of
the old school believed that the right
and proper way to keep baby hap
py was to carry him about with
them practically all day long every
where they went. This kept their
right hand occupied so constantly
that they changed the buttoning of
their garments from the natural
right side to the left in order that
they could still hold their baby and
button their clothes in the same mo-
ton.

A Soldiers Doc

A dog is missing from his
home in Seward, the loved pet
of one of the boys who was
called to the Army last month.
The last thing the boy said when
he left home was, Take care
of Sandy
Sandy is red cocker spaniel
with tail so short it is hardly
there, very long silky ears and
well feathered legs. He is not
friendly, but viii get into a car
with anyone, hoping for ride.
Have you seen Sandy? He
may have been struck by a car
If so, his owner would still like
to know it, But it is thought
that he may have been taken
away because he is so good
looking.
A call to the newspaper office
or to Madison 81 after 500 pm.
will be gratefully appreciated.

Sea Hawks TO
PIayFiirst Time
In Fairbanks

The Sports Show, arranged
entirely by the school children,
will be we'll worth the money
this year, according to hints
coming out of the school. Boxing
matches, wrestling, tumbling,
calisthenics, novelty and comedy
acts and a square dance put on
by boys are among the many
features offered by the kids for
entertainment.
Proceeds of the Sports Show
will help defray expenses of
the conference basketball games
in Fairbanks, Palmer and An
chorage.
After some dickering, espec-
tally with Fairbanks, dates have
been set for the first series.
At first the Fairbanks teams
were not to leave their own
city except for the Rendezvous
games, which Seward refused
to honor. They finally agreed,
however, to come to Seward
for return games, so the schedule
has been arranged to begin Dec
II, with the first game in An
chorage.
The Sea Hawks will push on
to Fairbanks Dec. IS for two
games the next two nights. They
return to Anchorage the 18th
for their second game there and
return to Seward Dec. 10.
Seward is proud of this cham
pion school team. The boys will
have a real struggle on their
hands this year, having lost
three star athletes, but they are
eager and ready for the fight
There is little doubt of a big
turn out Friday night, not only
to seek entertainment but to
help pay for the Sea Hawks
first visit to Fairbanks.

To Play Joint
Concert Thurs.

- 0E y y
Desire Ligeti, bass-baritone,
has a rich musical background
to draw on for his fine concert
programs. AS a child, he stud
led violin and piano at the Royal
Conservatory in Budapest, but
only as any child is given music
lessons. Later, he studied to be
doctor, but when his voice was
heard in the college glee club,
the leader advised the young
Ligeti to seek an addition with
the famous voice teacher, Bella
SZabados, who had coached
many of the worlds greatest
singers. Upon Szabados advice
he made music his career, and
graduated with special honors
in the year 1881
His opera career began at
once even though he was just
student, and he sang in Buda-
pest, Germany, and when the
Nazis took over there, in Czecho-
slovakia, Poland, Holland, and
Belgium. In 1910 the forecast
for trouble in Europe prompted
him to come to America like so
many other musicians. He was
invited to head the Voice Dept.
at the Academy of Music in
Manila, and was there when the
Philippines were invaded. Los
ing his studio at the Academy
he continued to teach voice in
his private studio.
When the US. re-entered the
Islands, Mr.. Ligeti sang "a con-
certs for the Armed Forces and
helped to re-establish the Manila
Symphony Society.
His American debut in 1916,
was made in San Francisco
where he had now settled his
m ly. The San Francisco
Chronicle writes, "one of the
most beautiful song programs
ever heard in San Francisco.
Since his first American ap-
pearance, Mr.. Ligeti has sung
important roles each season with
the San Francisco Opera Com
pany, the New York City Opera
Company, New Orleans Opera
House, the San Antonio Opera
Festival and as soloist with the
leading US. symphony orchest-
ras. And with Kristen Flagstad
] and other world famous artists
in Central and South America.
/ In radio, Mr. Ligeti has made
broadcasts nationwide for Stan
dard Oil with Lily Pons, Blanche
ThebOm Tagliavini and others.
Marcus Gordon. American
/ Marcus Gordon is an Ameri-
can pianist, widely known for
his musicianship and extensive
repertoire. He first studied at
the San Francisco Conservatory
of Music and then went to the
famous Juillard School of Music
in New York, where he studied
on fellowship under the fam
Gus teacher Josef Lhevinne.
After four years in the Army
Air Corps he returned to study
and play in concerts. Critics
speak of his playing as ''intelli-
gent, eminently musical, poss-
essing delicacy and fine musical
taste"
Interest in young musicians
prompted Mr.. Gordon to record
18 pieces from album for the
Young by Robert Schumann.

''Ike'' May Be Made
 Western Europe 'COnn'nd'r in Chief

WASHINGTON, P-Specula- ton increased today that Presi- dent Truman may appoint Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to com mand the projected international army to defend Western Europe.
 This talk is based in part on what MT. Truman said about Eisenhower at his news conference yesterday and in part on the fact that Washington officials believe a man of outstanding reputation and proved ability should ge the supreme command post.
 The mere naming of such a man, high officials say, would help to create in non-communist Europe a new sense of confidence and progress toward real security.
