Mr.. Hyde, in his weekly news
letter. said the PEPCO project
has not created any new prob

mind us that the rapid residen-
tial and industrial development
in the Washington area and
along the Potomac has created
sewage and other waste disposal
problems that cry for attention. :"
"Only an aroused people can
insure necessary action by local
communities, the State and the
Federal Government" he said.
IeAmericans traditionally have
considered water pollution con-
troll as a State and local respon-
lsbility. This is rightly so. and
Congress repeatedly has recog-
lnized this principle of primary
State responsibility.
THE Federal Governments
role should be that of co-ordina-
tor, The various plans Of Vir-
Iginia. Maryland and the District
for pollution control must be
centrally planned and co-ordi-
mated if we are to have con-
Itinued supply Of clean water.
"This, believe, can best be
done by the already functioning
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin. Federal
funds may be necessary for the
overall planning and co-ordina-
ton, but the cost of implementa-
ton should be born by the To-

Train" IT Believe"
For progress, frankie Laine
believes that the right accom-
panist can do plenty for you!
He's the man who can tell you
how you sound-something
you can't hear! So let's listen
to frankie LANES accompa-
mist. Al Lerner, for more Ca
reer-tips" on singing:
1.-THE common faults most
young singers have to over
come include
First, the wavering voice,
with uneven vibrations. that
climbs, jumps like a radio
wave-a cardiograph. Try for
the even voice, that you can
steady, with practice.
Second, don't forget to en-
phasize certain words that are
important to the story of the
song.
Third, learn to project your
voice so 1t can be heard by all.
Fourth, keep within your
range! Forget the old formula
that you should struggle to
cover two octaves, strain for
the high and low notes of an
operate singer! Most popular
songs are now within one
octave. If you can go two
notes-or one-tenth over one
octave-you can soar through
most hit tunes, demand-songs.
Fifth, don't waste words,
talking, at start of program!
Start singing! Sing four or
five before you pause. to chat
with audience, introduce ac-
companist, etc. They're there
to hear you SING, not lee
ture!"
Songs That Appeal
BEGINNERS, sing songs
that appeal to you! The song
must come because you want
to sing it, your way, or the
best of hit tunes can hop!"
If you sing we'll enough,
long enough in your town, the
talent scouts" will catch up
with you. There's no need to
pull stakes, head for a big
city and show-center. This is
more true than ever, as the
listening world widens with
radio, TV, the growth of home
town musical programs. This
year, over 600 community
music councils are active in
this country. If you have what
it takes, you'll be discovered"
How long does it take? How
high Is your ambition? How
far is the star? Keep moving
in the right direction and
you'll get thereby Mule

How do you get to be a pop

Frankie Laine answered

clude 10 that sold over a mil

Here's his advice to girls and
boys who aim for a singing
career in show business. Much
of it also applies to singing
as a hobby-solo or in a group.
frankie Lame says:
l IF you want to sing you
work at it! Nobody can tell
you just how to singer do
anything! You learn from do
ing, listening, watching, prac-
ticing! How can you tell II
you can sing until you start
and keep on singing? How
can you tell if you can paint
picture until you paint one

2. How can you set a new

make you famous?
"You don't. You can't. 1t
comes from within, it's you.
It's easier If you don't happen
to sound like you are trying to
initiate one who is already
famous. Sail into every song
as If it's the first time it was
ever sung. by you or anybody!
That gives it the new-minted
quality, the socco. 1t makes
something happen, when you
sing, that scoops up the audi
ence, puts it in your pocket"
3. How do you begin? Just
start singing. Sing for fun
for eats for spaghetti! Until
your singing pays off, find
other ways to earn your liv-
ing!"
