AS an incident Of Flag Week,
Representative Walter Ellsworth
Brehm. Republican, Of the 11th
district of Ohio, on Monday, June
Is, introduced H. r. 8211, reading:
"a bill to provide for the issuance
of a special postage stamp in
honor of Henry Holcomb Bennett
and in commemoration of Flag
Day, 1858: Be it enacted by the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled,
that the Postmaster General is
authorized and directed to issue a
special postage stamp in honor of
Henry Holcomb Bennett, the au-
thor of Hats Off, the Flag Is
Passing By and in commemora-
tion of Flag Day. 1858. Such
special postage stamp shall be is
sued in such denomination and
design, and for such period begin
ming in June. 1858, as the Post
master General may determine.
Such stamp shall be placed on sale
in Chillicothe, Ohio, one day be-
fore 1t is made available to the
public elsewhere"
The bill was referred to the
Committee on Post Office and Civil
Service. Of which Representative
Tom Murray of Tennessee is
chairman.
Henry Holcomb Bennett, whose
famous patriotic ballad has in
Splreo the proposed Flag Day
stamp. was a native of Chillicothe,
born December S, 1868. He was
educated in the public schools Of
his home town and at Kenyon
College, then studied painting at
the Art Students League in New
York City. Much of his youth
was spent roaming the frontier
West, writing about soldiers and
settlers and illustrating his text
with his own drawings. His stories
Of Army and National Guard life
in the period between 1898 and
1901 still are worth reading.
But Mr.. Bennett was interested
in science as well as in art and
history. He followed Audubon
and Wilson as a field ornithologist.

TurntobIe Talk:

member of The Stars staff ,Dho
has had a longtime enthusiasm
for the brand OF music kno1Dn
as "Dirieland.")
Blk Beiderbecke, born Leon Bis
marck Beiderbecke in Davenport
Iowa. in 1908, was a jazz legend
even before he died. He has his
detractors. to be sure, but they are
few. To the faithful devotee OF
Americas only indigenous musical
form, "Bix" is immortal. He died
at the age of %, but in a few years
this incredible master of the cor
net was a golden era of jazz all
by himself.
Columbia Records has recently
released, on three long g-playing
discs. SO Of Beiderbecke's most
representative recordings. For an
artist of his stature he didn't re-
cord much. There's hardly a
doubt that his really best per-
formances were never recorded.
They were played, in company
with jazzmen who could respond
to his soaring imagination, in
Chicago speakeasies and exist to-
day only in the reverent memories
of the few who heard them.
But the Blk on these records is
the real Blk. despite his col
leagues and their arrangers. In
deed. the Blk is the more re-
markable, in some cases, for the
contrasts. Not that the other
men in the bands were incompe-
tents-there are such names as
Jimmy Dorsey. Eddie Lang. "Pee
Wee" Russell and Lennie Hayton
In the then-prevalent trend
toward intricate and involved ar
rangements, these musicians were
tops. But they weren't jazzmen
in the jazz tradition. The big
commercial bands with their forid
and flatulent arrangements were
poison to Blk and his brethren in
the faith. He had to play in
them to keep abreast of his liquor
bills. But he showed his genius,
almost as an orchid among dan
delions, in the shimmering cornet
solos he was able to inject into
the precise and precious scores.
Blk Among HoIIowed
Why do so many lovers Of seri-
GUS music find real musical ap-
probation in Dixieland? To this
reviewer, Blk Beiderbecke pro-
vides an answer. In my case. at
least, he served as an introduc-
ton to the genuine merit of jazz
as music. It was a happy day
when I picked up used record
from a huge un-assorted stack
in hand-me-down store in Salt
Lake City, paid five cents for 1t.
and took it home as a possible
party" record. That record
turned out to be a piece called
Louisiana" and featured Blk
Beiderbecke. The first listening
stirred no miracle, but the Sec
ond and third did. At the time
I had a modest collection of
Beethoven quartets, two or three
Mozart and Tschaikowsky SYM
phonies, and a priced pair Of
Scarlatti sonatas for harpsichord.
No popular" records at all; in
deed I had only a bare tolerance
for juke boxes.
Into the hallowed company Of
the musical great, then, came the
horn of Blk Beiderbecke. It was
no intrusion. set to work to
learn more about jazz, and began
a busy sorting of all those five
cent records at the store where I'd
discovered Blk. There were no
more of Blk, but I did find a

For Holiday
Sofety

There are $3.50 more re-

more licensed operators in Mass
achusetts than a year ago. This
means the heaviest highway
traffic over Labor Day weekend
in our history. This is a family
holiday. Many will take advan-
tage of this last holiday of the
summer, while other families will
be returning from their summer
homes, therefore more people
will be exposed to the hazards
of the highway than at any other
time.
About $500 enforcement officers
are giving up their holiday to
make the roads safe. Obey traf-
fic signs and signals. Do not
speed or drive after drinking.
Courtesy, Caution and Common
