The oratorios and operas Of
Handel have increased greatly
in popular esteem during the
last two decades. We are re.
membering what has been for
gotten since the Bach revival
that Handel is by no means Q
second-rate Bach, but the other
side Of. valuable coin which
carries the German muse on
one side, an Italianate one on
the other. Although the temper
Of our time precludes the possi-
bility Of Handel having the fol-
lowing Of his great contempo-
rary, Messiah" Is at last shar-
ing the musical scene with
Joshua" "Semele." Israel in
Egypt" Julius Caesar" and
Judas Maccabaeus," which
was performed in Constitution
Hall yesterday by the Little
Orchestra Society under Thom-
as Scherman.
The grandeur of the work
work was marred by an uneven
performance. The small mixed
chorus was excellent: John Nc
Collum. as Judas and Ara Ber.
berian, as Simon. sang with the
vocal brilliance and stylistic
persuasiveness these two artists
have shown for many years.
Irene Jordan accomplished the
dificult coloratura, extraordin-
arily florid even for Handel,
successfully. Lawrence Avery
sang the secondary tenor part
with the competence Of an
Episcopal Church soloist. Eliza
beth Baisch. the inezzo, was
miscaSt. having not the voice
for her duets with Miss Jordan,
the technical ability to handle
recitatives convincingly nor the
self-confidence necessary for q
big solo role.
Thomas Scherman has gifts
OF organization and of select
ing interesting repertoire, but
he has no talent for conducting.
The music drags: nothing is
together: the variety Of tempos
he suggests for even a short
march like "The Conquering
Hero" is appalling, and the
whole 2la-hour oratorio is re.
duced to a tasteless and somno-
lent series Of solos and chor-
uses. The orchestra itself is not
very skillful.
The efforts Of the pianist 20
add a spurious and always irri-
tating solo piano part to the
score can be excused only by
assuming that. having been
given q free hand by the con-
ductor, he was doing the best
he could.

DEAR ABBY: My husband

he takes me to our club
dance. he always asks me for
the first dance. Then he
disappears and I don't see
him again all evening. Once
I went looking for him and I
found him outside playing
hopscotch with a young
woman. (She was a school
teacher and had chalk in her
purse.) Another time he put
on the waitress cap and
apron and helped serve
drinks. He loves to be the
life Of the party, but he will
be the death of me! Now how
do you handle a man like
that?

We heard that this girl was
running around but we didn't
write to him about it. Yester-
day she brought his ring over
and asked me to send it back
to him as she didn't want to
be tied down"
Should I send him the ring?
His father says we should
keep 1t quiet until he comes
home. What would you do?

Don't send the ring. In my
book there Is no one lower

A FAIR GUESS Is that
about 10 to Is per cent of
patients who have stones in
their gall bladder also have
them in the bile ducts (the

Marvin ID. Wood

Since 1887, Caldwell high school has been
noted throughout the state for its outstand-
ing high school band.
This band was the brain product of one
man who took over the reins of the lnstru-
mental music department back in 1887 for
Caldwell high school.
In the ensuing years which followed,
Marvin P. Wood made name for himself
and that of the band not only in Ohio but
neighboring states as well.
Last Friday morning, Director Wood died
at his home 8l9 West Main street, the victim
of heart attack.
Cut down at the early age of AZ years, his
death came as profound shock to the entire
community and his wide number of acquaint
ances in the music world, who considered him
tops in his chosen profession.
Down through the years, although ath-
letics sometimes reached low ebb in the
Caldwell schools, the fans would always point
with pride to Marvin P. Wood and come

Heart Disease

Why is it that heart disease takes bigger
toll among the Noble county population than
it does elsewhere in the United States?
Why is the heart mortality greater in one
area of the country than in another? What
does geography have to do with it?
The questions are of particular import
ance now because of the approach of Feb
ruary, which has been named National Heart
Month.
A recent report by the U. S. Public
Health Service shows that heart disease,
which is the leading cause of death in this
country, is responsible for $50 percent of all
deaths among Noble county residents
This is big proportion, even higher than
that reported for the United States generally,
where some 536 percent of the annual NOR
tality is charged to it. The ratio in the State
of Ohio is 54.l percent.
Great variations are noted in the heart
disease rate in different parts of the country.
Some states have rates that are twice as high
as others cat the present time" states the
American Heart Association, "there is no ade-
quate explanation for the geographical diff

economies in other parts of the
world.
It is true that the immediate
alternatives to renewal of the
strike were painful to contem-
plate. Millions of workers not
directly employed in the steel
industry, stockholders and the
public, suffered losses greater
in the aggregate than the
punishment endured by steel
companies and workers during
the strike. A resumption of the
strike would have multiplied
those losses and could even
have precipitated the ultimate
disaster of placing our econ
omy under state control, with
wages, prices and the rest con-
trolled and determined by gov
ernment. We have postponed
that.
But the ultimate cost of the
settlement can be greater than
that.
Lenin and Stain can now

United States destroying her

ourselves.
Apparently we still need to
recognize the simple truths
that we cannot have more
without first producing more.
We cannot hold prices down
while we force costs up and
hold production per man per
hour below the levels neces-
sary to maintain higher wages
and benefits without pumping
more money into circulation.
1t is no longer collective bar

agement is deprived of the con-
trolls necessary to produce the
means of paying those benefits.
Initiation continues as public
enemy number one. Union
labor monopoly spreads its
blight and the public still fails
of the understanding neces-
sary to "liberty and justice for
all" Decreased exports, in
creasing imports and higher
costs of production are not
good omens.
We want higher standards of
living out of higher net wages,
but not at the cost of ultimate
slavery and defeat of the very
purpose for which the costly
steel strike was fought. We
want settlement, not merely
a truce. There is something for
| Congress to ponder.

through with that now familiar expression,
cat least we have the best band"
No one ever took exception to this state
ment for the band had only to strut out to the
field and 60 through their eleven minute drill
to justify this statement.
Each and every band that has appeared
in the Caldwell high school since 1887 has
been a personal tribute to the uncanny abil-
ity of Director Wood, who many times had
only mediocre talent but always came up
with top flight performance.
He had gifted knack of bringing out the
best, musically speaking, in each one of his
students and through arduous hours and days
of labor on his part, the finished musical unit
of 80 members became top notch one when
first viewed by the public.
Although Marvin P. Wood has been cut
down by the grim reaper of death, his men,
