MISS CHAMBERS PRESENTS OUTSTANDING CONCERT
lby Edith R. Latta

Oy EQlCn It. Ldtld
 Despite cold, icy winds and the fact that Thanksgiving plans occupied many people, the Sheldon Jackson Junior College auditorium was comfor tably filled at the Wednesday evening concert when the All aska Music Trail presented Madelaine Chambers, the young
 lyric coloratura soprano.
 Combining the old and the
 new, her program featured op-
 cratic arias from Handel, Mo zart. Puccini, Donizetti, Bizet
 and Massenet; the lovely Art
 Songs of Schubert and a closing
 group from more modern com posers including Copland, Kra- mer, Wolf, Thaver and Carey. Prefacing her operatic arias with descriptions of the setting from which they were taken, the artist exhibited her drama tic talents as we'll as her vocal accomplishments. So much So was this true that, watching her facial expressions and lis tening to her lovely voice, one could almost imagine they were witnessing the scene from a performance of the opera. Es- pecially was this true as Miss Chambers captivated her aud fence with her rendition of Ca vatina and Aria of Norma from "Don Pasquale" by Donizetti I Norma is a vivacious young widow who, while reading a
 love story, is fully aware of the l fact hat she has known and us- ed all the wiles of capturing linens hearts. This number clear ly showed the control and wide voice range of the singer, as it climaxed on a high note follow
 ing a thrilling trill.
 II was very clear that Made laine Chambers first love is the opera. but whether she was assuming the role of pa thetic Mimi from Puccini's La Boheme" or presenting the light, playful Jack in the Box by Daniel Wolf, the pro- per mood was always convinc- ing.
 Gracious and generous with
 her encores, Miss Chambers
 entertained and amused her audience with the capricious Laughing Song from 'Die Fle- dermaus' by Strauss, Grand ma Grunts" an old mountain song from North Carolina and Kiss Me Again" from the

What Does Increase Security
And Wages!
To say that we shall stabilize
our economy by guaranteed an
nual wage, rather than by the
operation of business efficiently
and profitably, is to misunder-
stand what makes our private
enterprise system work. 1t is
hard-headed business sense and
new inventions that have given
us more refrigerators, more auto
mobiles, and more homes. This is
the kind of system which bene-
fits wageworkers in the long run.
The great mass of wageworkers
can obtain greater proportion of
the worlds wealth only by in
creasing their real efficiency by
means of their heads, hands or
inventions To go back to my
tank illustration. wageworkers can
get a greater proportion of the
total water in their tank only by
increasing the capacity of their
tank-that is, its length, breadth,
or depth. AS fast as such an in
crease in capacity (or efficiency
takes place. the water will flow
into the Union Labor's tank auto
matically, and no wealth or power
can prevent it, Only legislation
which trulv increases the efficiency
and savings of the wage
workers is sure to make them
richer. stronger, and more in
vincible.

utility of natures materials. AS
we blossomed into the mechanical

omobile-American seemed in
clined to believe that whatever
was bright, shiny and metallic
should De called modern, and,
therefore, better.
Now we find the pendulum of
taste swinging back again. Busi-
ness men and homemakers are
finding new uses and values in
natural materials. In the more
expensive modern homes, for ex-
ample, we find more and more
atwood kitchens. Several large
insurance firms have junked all
their office equipment and switched
to wood Office desks and chairs.
Efficiency studies proved that
workers were more comfortable, il
Elimination was more efficient, and
acoustics were better with wood.
A similar trend is developing in
heavy construction. A large New
York Investment firm is switching
back to natural stone as the prin-
cipal building material for a new
$40 million skyscraper. Comment
ing on the recent fad for glass
and metal buildings, one New York
architectural writer observed sad
ly that 1.-The new structures CLEAN

Still another demonstration of
public discomfort with what ar
chitect Frank Lloyd Wright has
called the sanitary" age was the
storm of protest over plans to
build the Air Force Academy of
glass and metal. The Air Force
is revising the design.
We appear to be re-learning
what our forebearers knew before
us. Artificial products, regardless
of the ingenuity of their creation,
still cannot match the majesty of
nature. Thus we witness the trend
toward Office furniture. We still
haven't developed a better. building

our Vermont quarries, or the clay

a moment does the Labor Union
have the increase III its tank. The
benefit soon flows back to the big
tank. by way of higher rents,
higher prices, and greater interest
rates. The water" is constantly
adjusting itself by means of the
connecting pipe, which is Trade.
So you see the proportion of the
money Union Labor retains is not
really an increase. There are only
two ways to get healthy increases
in wages. One is through produc-
ing more by working harder and
longer. The other is through new
inventions and products that cut
costs and increase output. The
greatest value of Labor Unions to
the wageworkers is that the
Unions force Capital to spend
money on research, inventions, and
vertising,-which reduces costs
and increases production. A healthy
economy is dependent upon good
businesses, which is the operation
of an enterprise profitably and
efficiently.
To do this the employer must

Babson Park, Mass, July IA. Sup
posing the principle of some form

of unemployment compensation,
spreads to large number OF
companies, will most workers
really benefit?
Illusions OF Union Wages
Many workers think that some
how or other life can be made
secure by legislation or labor
union agreement. Higher wages
shorter hours, and unemployment
benefits may temporarily raise
their standard of living. Most OF
their victories, however, so IN
crease their cost of living that the
wage Garner would have little more
left at the end of the year were it
not for the inventions of labor
saving devices.
Capital (employers) and wage
earners are likely two tanks o.

pipe The pipe represents the
channels of trade The water repre-
sents income The Capital Tank is
big and holds lots of water. the
Labor tank is smaller and holds
less water Because, however, both
tanks stand at the same level,
and because water always seeks
its own level. the water in both
tanks will reach the same level.

into either tank. This applies to

original window where those Ian
terms were hung (''two if by sea')
that started Paul Revere on his
ride.
Even though the job wasn't quite
finished for the Fourth of July, the
restoration should provide a lift
to American spirit and fresh hope
that defenders of the nation may
still be counted on from every
middlesex, village and farm"
Too Much Discount
Whether or not the State De-
partment feels it has made a big
deal, we wouldn't know. But we
doubt if Americans in general are
throwing their hats in the air
over our acceptance from the
/ Soviets of half the cost of an
antiquated patrol bomber as COM
pensatiUn for shooting it down
over international waters in the
Bering Sea on June 23rd.
Perhaps The fact that there were
no fatalities makes it unimportant
that there were IL men aboard
the plane, who-for agonizing
minutes-had every reason to be-
lieve their number was up; or that
seven suffered, and are still suf-
fering, painful injuries. In Russia,
of course, these considerations
would not count. But heretofore
in the u. S., such matters have
been of serious concern.
In what the Associated Press
described as "a conciliatory note,
the State Department told the
Kremlin that its apology for the
incident and partial payment for
the plane Qess equipment) would
be IAN acceptable basis for for
getting the whole thing.
The Department did add in its
note the hope that the Soviets
would not do these things any
more.
In view of the past record of
such incidents, this is quite an
ambitious hope. But at least we
have now established a precedent
for getting back a part payment
on what our equipment cost the
taxpayers. AS the human anguish
| involved, the Russians wouldn't
understand that anyway But why
do we give them half off on their
depredations?
This once, we caught the Reds
off-balance-as evidenced by their
apology and offer of reparations
It would have been a better bar
gain, we think, to have kept them
that way. We could, and have,
spent many times s750,000 in for
eign aid without gaining any COM
parable advantage.
Nature Still Does 1T Best
1t is intriguing to note that
