terested. He sent the dubs
to half q dozen record COM
panies.
When Chuck Sagle, re-
cording director at Epic
Records in New York, heard
them, he asked Dick to
come to New York.
At that first interview,
he signed Dick to a con-
tract, scheduled q record
ing session and told Dick
to look around for some
songs to record.
From the dubbed discs
and tapes that Dick sent
to New York after that, Mr..
Sagle selected "Teen-Age
Love" and three other
songs for Dick to record.
He took the tunes on
the dubs by ear and wrote
arrangements for each.
He says he knew from
the beginning that 'Teen-
Age Love" was going to be
the big one.
He scored "T e en-Age
Love" for two guitars, bass,
drums, piano and seven
voice chorus. Although he
followed the original har-
monic structure, he put in
some counter-melodie and

Rock and Roll

As q result Of the contro-
versy which has erupted over
rock and roll, teen = ayers
have been forced to take a po-
sition on the music which
has commonly been identi-
fed with them. The group
which comprises the most OUT
spoken critics is made up Of,
men with background Of ex-
perience, intelligence and au-
thority in their field.
Because these critics are a
more intelligent group than
the defenders Of rock and
roll, I fear that many teen
ayers decide to take a posi-
ton critical of our music be-
cause such a position appears
slightly more intellectual.
This, I feel, is the cause Of
those who completely de-
nounce rock and roll.
Those who believe that
rock and roll is worthless
are supporting what I feel is
an erroneous attitude. Actu-
ally, the criticisms which are
usually made of it are not
really Of the present music.
but rather Of what it is de-
rived from, the country blues.
The blurred lyrics and gui-
tar sounds are some of the
characteristics Of a rich folk
music that developed among
the Negroes Of the South.
This music is based on the
expression Of the hardships
experienced by the Negroes
in their lives and loves. It
has produced such influential
jazz figures as Blind Lemon
Jefferson, Blind Bill Blake
. and Leadbelly.
While I agree that there is
much to criticize in the pres

No Religion

I don't think religion
should be taught in schools.
From the letters I have been
reading in Play Back, 1t
seems to be the most com.
mon opinion that If atheists
were exposed to religion.
they would accept 1t. This
inferS that disbelief is always
to be avoided. Can't this
statement be reversed to say
that If believers were not
subject to religious educa-
ton, they would accept dis
belief?
Many people say that per-
sons with strong religious
beliefs have a stronger char
acter. People who are athe-
lists don't need belief in the
supernatural to tell them
what is right or wrong. So,
as you see, religion and
Righteousness are not always
synonymous.
In my opinion. the teach
ing OF religion in public
schools is q breach Of eonsti-
tutional right. tgj

City to Crack Down On Indiscriminate Garbage Dumping

Dick Galleher, chairman of the City Council Committee on Health and Relief, has begun a program to eliminate the unsanitary con- ditions caused by the mishandling of disposable garbage and the haz- ard potential of the numerous unused and dilapidated buildings within the city limits.
 The Nome City Ordinances, available for inspection by the public at City Hall, treat this sub ject very directly with no room for misunderstanding, and for very good reason, stated Galleher.
 An abandoned, half wrecked building can be the cause of ser ious injury to children playing near or in it. Indiscriminate dump ing of disposable garbage is one of the most serious of health haz- ards and both of these conditions are threat, not just to the per son responsible, but to everyone in the city, Galleher pointed out.
 The Health Committee is making a survey of the city and will in- struct the Chief of Police to serve notices of violations on those per sons noted to have conditions re- quiring attention. This notice will point out the nature of the viola tion and the length of time al- lowed to correct it. If the cause of the complaint is no corrected within this time, the violator is liable for both fine and jail sentence.
 Mir. Galleher points out that one violation that will result in inn mediate arrest is the dumping of garbage anywhere other than at the designated garbage dump, and the Police Department has been instructed to enforce this regula- tion to the fullest extent of their authority.

Negroes

There are now 615,e64 Negro
Catholics in the United States,
according to a report released
today by the Commission for
Catholic Missions among the
Colored People and the Indians.
This represents an increase
Of 217,853 Negro Catholics
over the 1850 figure of 39s,111.
The Washington Archdiocese
showed almost a 100 per cent
gain in Negro members, going
from 29,500 in 1850 to 5S,003
today.
The Rev. ]. B. Tennelly,
secretary Of the commission
with headquarters at 2021 H
street NV, noted that the
Negro Catholic rate of increase
for the last 10 years was SIS per
cent, while the general increase
Of the Negro population
throughout the country was II
per cent. The Census Bureau
reported the 1850 Negro popula-
ton as 15.042,886, compared to
an estimated II million today.
The report pointed out that
a large part of the increase
came from 100000 Negro con-
verts in the last 10 years. It
added that one Of every IL
converts is a Negro.
Migration of Negroes from the
South accounts for one-third
of the Negro Catholic popula-
ton gain in such cities as Los
Angeles, Chicago. Philadelphia,
st. Louis and New York, Father
Tennelly said.
There were about $500
Indian converts to catholicism
during the last decade, the
report stated.
