Music on PIotters

So the other night. having
goofed for a while as the towns
foremost ignorant jazz buff. I up
and went into a record store on
Broadway and ordered an in
discriminate armload of the
newest recordings for the hep
set. The nice man behind the
counter scooped up a selection
and off / went to hear same.
The nice man had handed me
several platters by new recording
companies, sung and played by
new and unknown artists. and
he had also laid on me the Co.
lumbia ng-playing record la
belled simply Billie Holiday
Teddy Wilson" This item is,
from what I can learn from the
notes, a reissue of some things
first recorded in 1885.
The name Billie Holiday and
the year 1885 must have struck
some sort of memorial chord. 1t
was just about that year that I
first staggered into a Harlem
saloon called Pods and Jerry's
and listened to l5-year-old girl
who could sing like the proven
bal lark. Her clothes obviously
consisted of a worn wool sweater
and a trashy skirt. She was bare
foot. She would sing any request
number for the standard tip
IS cents. Long after the sun had
come up and gone to work, she
left the joint and walked home;
still in her bare feet.
y 4
In the intervening years. the
hardshell drugs have just about
totally destroyed Billie Holiday.
But this record brings her back
as she was at her peak. You
simply must have it, if you are a
believer in the true jazz religion.
Buy it to hear her do Miss
Brown to You" and Il Wished
on the Moon" and Il Cover the
Waterfront" and all the other
standards. You can also buy
the platter just to hear the must
clans who back Our Girl up. The
musicians have names like Ben
ny Goodman, Lester Young. Roy
Eldridge, Buck Clayton, Cozy Cole
and the late John Kirby.

Of the recordings by new tai
ents, the most interesting is a
plate issued by the new name Of
Riverside Records introducing
singer named Barbara Lea. Miss
Lea has the expert background
of pianist Billy Taylor with his
trio augmented by trumpeter
Johnny Windhurst. La Lea has
much of the quality Of Lee Wiley
and. UNDERSTANDABLE, is product
of Detroit's jazz saloons. She
does a highly original and high
styled Thinking OF You" an
interesting Come Rain or Come
Shine" and. in my opinion. a very
poor version of another standard
which shall be nameless.

Don Elliott, a young musician
who can play anything ranging
from vibes to horns, long ago
convinced me that he was the
most brilliant of the new jazz

May Be Extended

MAIDEN - A bill to extend the
town limits of Maiden in two di-
rections was introduced in the
North Carolina General Assembly
Friday by Catawba county Repre-
sentative T. F. Cummings.
The bill includes annexation OF
some ten to twelve acres Of Caro-
lima Mill property behind the new
High school building. Town Off
cials said today they understood
the mill plans to develop the prop
erty into a b-division. A mill Of
cial said this morning that plans
are for future development in that
area. but that he did not know at
this time how many building lots
would be made from the tract.
Some seven residences in East
Maiden also will be incorporated
into the town by virtue of the bill
introduced Friday. This area is in
the vicinity of Boyd street and is
on the Southern side of East
Maiden. 1t extends back about
one-half a block and over two
blocks. K. B. Clippard, town clerk,
said today.

invested in facilities; that they will
continue to connect new consumers
to their lines at rate Of about
125, 600 year through 1860, includ-

Of dairy representatives in House

amendment to the 90oc Of parity

came up to raise the dairy sup
ports above the 75% of parity level
set by Secretary Of Agriculture
Benson. enough votes from the
basic bloc" went against them in
retaliation for their desertion OF
the farm bloc, so that the dairy
bloc lost in their fight to raise their

gave the dairy farmers the excuse
they needed to vote for the sliding

1oday's engines deliver more power than ever
beforehand with greater economy, too!
They're high compression engines. They're
built to squeeze more power out of every drop
of the high octane gasolines they require.
But high octane alone will not keep these
engines delivering their full power. They must
be protected against the harmful effects
of deposits that build up in combustion

The reason is this:
When your engine warns up, these deposits warm
up, too-glow red hot. And these glowing particles
act like hot coals-gnite the gasoline mixture ahead
