THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Brannon Smith

This week for the first time in
many months we are not writing
about faraway places-Hawaii,
Japan, Hong Kong, Malaga, Egypt
or Europe.
The travel articles are over and
by finishing them we feel that we
are now really at home-ready
to settle down for a spell. More
than likely by the time we're able
to make another trip readers of
this column will be awfully glad
for they'll probably be tired of
reading of the happenings at home
by that time.
But we are at home now and
want everyone to know it. We
expect to devote all our strength
and energy toward giving you
the best paper possible and want
TO ask your cooperation.
If you know any news don't be
bashful or hesitant about calling
us. We want to publish every
thing possible of interest to you
and your friends in the community
-. whether it's a front page story
or a local item.
A newspaper is, or should be, a
reflection of life in the communl-
" good and bad. We want
this paper to be the best paper in
the world just as we all want
Lexington to be the very best
community in the world in which
to live.
Members Of the Lexington Mu-
nicipal Concert Association have
something to look forward to n
the fall concerts.
The talent committee composed
of Mrs. r. W. Gulledge, Mrs. Doty
Porter, Mrs. Murrell McRae n
Mrs. sam Hutton has selected
three outstanding artists to ap-
pear here in concert during the
next nine months. They are Josh
Wheeler, eminent American bari
tone, Jean Graham, pianist, and
Ruth Biller, dramatic soprano.
Personally we r looking for
ward to hearing all three OF these
artists - each of whom has been
received in the leading cities OF
the nation with interest and en-
thusiasm.
Mr.. Wheeler has studied With
Pasquale Amato of the Metro
politan Opera and is a leading
baritone with the New Lyric
Stage; Miss Graham has played
with the Chicago Symphony Or
chestra, the New York Philhar-
monte Orchestra under Stokowski
and the Philadelphia Symphony
orchestra under Eugene Ormandy;
Miss Biller is a featured soloist
with the Milwaukee Radio City
Orchestra and a leading soprano
with the After Dinner Opera Com
pany in New York.
We are fortunate in Holmes
county to be able to hear these
artists in person right here at
home.

Had nice visit with Eddie
Rickenbacker and asked him some
questions about his life. You have
probably noticed that every time
a war comes along, Eddie's name is
in the news. That's because he
has been active in two world wars
- and now in this mess. In World
War l. he was our flying ace; in
the second conflict he was lost in
the Pacific on a raft for three
weeks. Later he crashed in a
plane near Atlanta and was mi
xaculously spared. There is just
one reason, Eddie told me, that he
believes he is alive today: that
is God Almighty - land I'm not
ashamed to give Him the credit
publicly" he said.
