First, let's be clear about one
thing: No one in his right mind
would accept a sentence like Il
don't have no money" as any
thing but evidence of ignorance
bordering on illiteracy. The
double negative today is COM
pletely unacceptable in the
speech of educated people.
But this was not always the
case. You'll find double mega
tives commonplace in Chaucer
and in the writings of others
down to the time of Shake
speare. In many languages
(Frepch for instance) it is still
the standard form. But it has

What Are Warrants.
A Warrant" looks like a regu-
lar stock certificate but it is much
more important for you to read
just what this piece Of paper says
before you buy it. Warrants are an
option to buy a certain number of
shares Of stock at a fixed price
within certain time If this price
is less than the present quoted
value Of the stock. it i easy to
figure the value Of the Option War
rant If, however. the price Of the
stock IS less than the Of the OPP
ton Warrant. the option has no
value except as gamble that
some day before the Option War
rant expires the price Of the stock
will rise TO a figure above the op-
ton price
From the above Won can see that
Warrants carry no interest or divi-
dends. Thus Warrants should never
be bought for income. they pro
vide no income. Furthermore. War
rants usually have an expiration

powerful left hand was COM
pletely drowning out her right.
The color and rhythmic shad-

certainly will be later in the
young artists career.
Miss Quesada's tendency to
bang the piano and to blur her
rhythms was accentuated by
the vulgarities of the Busoni
transcription of the Bach cha
come, certainly one of the
most distorting Of all the many
keyboard transcriptions of
Bach's music. In the Beethoven
sonata, the entire dynamic level
was, it seemed to me. much
too high-the chain of bass
trills, for example, against a
soaring melody is not an affair
of three trombones and piccolo.
On the other hand, the difficult
trio of the second movement
was beautifully played. In the
fugue all the octave entries of
the subject obliterated every
thing above them.
The Chopin sonata was much
more friendly to the style of
Miss Quesada's playing-big,
powerful and colorful. The most
successful work of the eve
ming was the neo-classic suite
of the Chilean composer Juan
Orrego Salas.

Miss Quesada, a student at
the Curtis Institute for seven
years, has unusual facility at
the keyboard. She shows that
she has mastered all the fun

technique. But the illnesses Of
music-making are yet to be

The Mount Pleasant Citizens

The group also voiced strong
opposition to the proposed

charging the limited-acceSs
highway would primarily serve
suburbanites at the expense of
property owners along it's right

An anti-loitering bill backed
by District Police Inspector

from the association because
it places major responsibility
for the handling of teen-agers

When President Harry S.

Lewis Used
VividSpeech
AsWeupon
By the Associated Press

John L. Lewis has been a
man of battle all his life-and
one with a high sense of drama.
The combination produced
many memorable and colorful
flights of language on occasions
when Mr.. Lewis was in the
forefront of the national stage.
Probably the best known Of
all Lewis quotes was directed
against the late President
Franklin Roosevelt. Mr.. Lewis
was trying to organize steel
workers and expected help from
Mr.. Roosevelt. a political ally.
Instead, Mr.. Roosevelt voiced
Shakespeare's plague on both
your houses" against both Mr..
Lewis and the steel companies.
Labor, like Israel, has many
sorrows" Mr.. Lewis retorted.
Its women weep for their
fallen and they lament for the
future of the children of the
race. 1t i'll behooveS one who
has supped at labor's table and
who has been sheltered in
labor's house to curse with
equal fervor and fine impair
tiality both labor and its ad-
versaries when they become
locked in deadly embrace"
One time Mr.. Lewis called
fellow labor leader Walter
Reuther IAN earnest Marxist
inebriated by the exuber-
ance of his own verbosity."
CaStigating leaders of the
American Federation of Labor
as doltS at a 1947 labor con-
vention, Mr.. Lewis said:
II don't think the federation
has a head. I think its neck
has just grown up and haired
over"
He called the AFL chiefs "fat
and stately asses"
When Vice President John
Nance Garner opposed a union
wanted bill in Congress, Mr..
Lewis roared that Mr.. Garner

"I would have the ambula-

might see; and I would have
the men whose eyes were shot
out and who were disem-
boweled in the mines crawl in
that procession along the cob
blestones so that the Congress
might see them trailing their
bowels after them.
Thou shalt not kill. Should
that not run in the under
ground passages Of our great
mining industry in our coun-
try?"
Once Mr.. Lewis gave his own
summary of how his voice had
spoken. He said:
! II have never faltered or
failed to present the cause or
plead the case of the mine
workers of this country.

the pulpit and from the pub
