enteenth Annual Style Review of
st. Thomas Episcopal Church
Monday night, April 10.
The crowd was the largest to
ever attend this gala affair which
is a tradition to st. Paul and Min
neapois citizens alike.
The program, although rather
long, was very entertaining and
thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Father Louis w. johnson, intro
duced by Hobart T. Mitchell, ST.,
welcomed the huge gathering and
was followed by the Gay Nineties
group emceed by Mrs. Hobart T.
Mitchell. The clothes of this por-
ton of the program were from
the wardrobe of the late Dora
Dean of the famed dance team of
Dean and Johnson" which were
loaned to st. Thomas by Mr..
Johnson, husband of the late Mrs.
Johnson. Another feature was the
"Barbershop Quartet" consisting
of Paul Curry, Ed johnson, Hardy
White, and Bert Williams. Will

The children were definitely a
hit of the show. Gayle Marshall
modelled a brown and tan jumper
Mary Ann Bryant and last but
not least was Wayne Michael deck
ed out in a black cowboy outfit
with red accessories complete
with two pearl handled "sixshoot-
ers" in a white gun belt. The only
thing lacking in young Master
Michaels appearance was his
horse which was probably parked
outside.
Among the models in the loung-
ing and morning wear were Err
nestine Danforth who modelled an
aqua blue satin pajama set; Bar
bara Strawder wearing a royal
blue file housecoat; Pauline Wal
lace in an American beauty rose
coat with black pajama Stacks,
and Ruth McQuerry in an Ice blue
satin gown with matching robe.
For the men James Slemmons
wore a grey pajama ensemble
with satin lapels.
In the sportswear scene, Mary

RECORD WAR MAY END

For many years, standard photograph
records revolved at the rate of seventy
eight revolutions per minute. This was
the standard for all recording outfits UNI
til 1948, when the Columbia Company
began to turn out micro-groOve records
revolving at thirty-three and one-third
R. PM, which virtually tripled the length
of playing time. Not to be outdone, the
Victor Company brought out its version in
1949-a small sized, plastic record, re-
volying at new speed of As K. r. M. Both
companies continue to bring out the stand
ard 78 R. P. M. records.
The confusion was considerable and
there was the prospect that the new
speeds would prove nuisance to those
who wished to play records from all the
companies. Apparently, the thlrty-three
and one-third r. P. M. record has gained
public favor and, last year, six or seven
companies. including Decca, began to is
sue the slowest-speed record. Now, ap-
parently, the Victor Company has an
nounced that it will issue its records on the
three speeds.
1t is noted by those who know some
thing about the history of records, that
the Victor Company, in the early ThirtIes,
introduced records revolving at thirty
three and one-third r. P. NJ, but. because
there were no light pressure pick-ups and
high quality amplifiers, the use of the
slow playing records did not gain in popu-
lar favor.

MONOGRAPH
FOLLOW EXAMPLE OF BUSINESS

There are many truths that escape us,
we know, but one that happens to be
very difficult for US to understand in
wolves the criticism that. attaches to the
crop control plan, under which farmers
of the United States cut down production
and thereby net more money.
We. have heard people declare that
this is entirely wrong, some even say it is
sinful. They prefer, it seems, for farm
ers TO continue to raise all that the land
and the weather will permit, trusting to
luck, or stock market sharks, to pay them
a living price.
Or, they declare that there is. need for
all that the world can produce but make
public no plans to reassure the farmers
Of the nation that the world is able to
pay for what they might produce.
II comes to our mind, in this connec-
ton, that the world can use all the auto
mobiles that can be made, but no one is
foolish enough to suspect that the auto
mobile manufacturers of this country are
going to make automobiles without the
prospect of a market for them. The world
can use all the products of any kind that
can be made, but you hear nothing about
manufacturers taking it for granted that
their only business is to produce, leaving
the price to settle where it may.
Why should the farmer, in this mod
ern world. do what no other successful
business. or industry is doing? The point is,
he shouldn't Heretofore, because of in
herent difficulties, producers of basic
farm crops could not be welded into a
compact, coherent force behind any plan
and. hence. they could not control their
output in order to assure reasonable pro-
fit.
Today, the government is at least at
tempting it and farmers are lining up,
lured mostly, perhaps, by the bait of self
interest It is the same bait that works so
well with business men and industrial
magnates and it works for the same rea-
son in each case.

NEED OF CAPABLE MEN


While This Is considered an "off year.

But Washington, for almost two de-
cades, has been gnawing into that In
dividuaiism and enterprise, and Smathers
maintained that, if 1t continues, Americans
eventually will be reduced to depending on
the federal government for handouts to

The voters of Monroe County are well
able to determine for themselves the DIFF

more federal doles in a hundred and one

enterprise and initiative, unhampered by
federal interference; in other words, the
competitive American spirit, the push and
the stamina and the alertness that built
the most marvellous industrial structure
the world has ever known.
Though the U. S. senatorial race is
the states most important one, yet many
local contests should evoke widespread
interest among the voters. In practically
every county in the state, except Monroe,
local contestants already are in the field.
But no candidates have yet announced for
two important offices in Monroe, county
commissioners from the second and fourth
district. tEF
LAS Key W.esters are aware, in the
campaign foFicity commissioners last year,
local civic bodies emphasized the necessity
of outstanding residents entering that
race, so that we would have able repre-
sentation in our city government. What APP
piled to candidates for city commissioners
also4applies .to1candidates for the two va
GAMES that will occur next January in the
county commission.
The Citizen trusts that local civic bod
les or residents generally urge capable
men, in the second and fourth district,
whose sole aim is the promotion of the in
terests of Monroe county, to aspire for
membership in the county commission.
