Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH GOLDEN AGE OF MUSIC United States Is Most Musical Nation in History of the World rollment In other subjects. Attend-ance at concerts and other musical performances is breaking all rec-ords, particularly in the smaller cities and the small towns where such fare was scarce indeed just a few years ago. According to the American Music Conference, there are more than 700 community sym-phony orchestras in cities of all sizes, Including one in Mountain Lakes, N. J. population 2,500. In adult recreation, music is playing an g part. YMCA's and YWCA's in many cities are offering class Instruction on various instruments, and service clubs and other groups put on periodic sings, musical events and concert series. Music appreciation is rising toward the top of the list of things many adult organizations are offering their memberships. The bright fact is that the Amer-ican people are making music for themselves a bright fact because throughout history music has been one of the greatest forces for happi-ness, stability, and harmony among men. This trend is putting the piano, the organ and the harp back into the home, and the instrument case back into the hands of our children. THE MUSIC CLUBS and their unifying organization, the National Federation of Music Clubs, have brought music into the lives of thousands of committees and have encouraged young musicians to fol- - America is beginning a Golden Age of Music. This is now the most musical na-tion in the history of the world; and the trend is typically Amer-ican, growing out of the people themselves instead of patronage by an upper class. Some of the signs of our musical renascence are obvious and per-vading. More than 96 per cent of our families own radios that pour forth music of various sorts at the flick of a switch. More than 15,000,-00- 0 homes have phonographs and records. Every motion picture has music as a backdrop, with the musical film the most popular of all types. In the theater, plays like "Oklahoma," "South Pacific" and "Guys and Dolls" are the record-breaker- s. In restaurants, offices and hotel lobbies music is piped in to entertain and to relieve monotony. But the more significant signs that music is coming to have a basic place in our way of life are in the private lives of the people. There are today more adults learn-ing to play instruments, taking part in community orchestras and chor-uses, joining in music festivals and events than there have been for many years. The number of children who are learning to play instru-ments in our schools is at an e high. Musical colleges report that the number of students pre-paring to teach music surpasses the proportionate increase in en- - low tne art seriously, service ciuds like Kiwanis International, Rotary and Lions have helped bands and orchestras, provided scholarships, put on music festivals, added sing-ing to their own programs and otherwise helped make us music conscious. The National Congress of Parents and Teachers' music committees have been behind much of the sharp increase in opportunity for music offered in the schools and for growth of music in com-munity affairs. In rural areas, the extension departments of state universities and other groups have been influ-ential, and in the adult field the YMCA and YWCA have made music prominent in their activities and offered classes on various instru-ments. Though it Is less than four years old, the American Music Conference has had an important part in the current boom. Financed by various branches of the music industry as a public service, AMC is devoted entirely to helping more people get the benefits of music. Much of the tremendous increase in material about music appearing in news-papers, magazines and radio is AMC inspired. Its films and litera-ture are helping to keep the trend moving. Its small field staff is carrying know-ho- on organization, techniques and materials to cities and towns in all parts of the coun-try. Contributing its services to organizations, school systems and anyone else who wants help to ad-vance music, AMC has increased the effectiveness of many other agencies and has given the total movement a new spark and accel-eration. Much of the credit, too, must go to the music industry. It has found that in this country the way to progress is through service. Both through their contributions to AMC and music educators and by intro-ducing improved products, the man-ufacturers, distributors and mer-chants have been instrumental in making music more at home in millions of homes.

Tlaces liltlYfl I SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World "Cease-Fire- " Talks Should Follow Unusual Pattern of Korean Events PEACE LIKE THE WAR PUZZLING With the confusing Korean conflict little more than a year old, the prospects for peace suddenly be-came brighter than ever. For the average citizen on the Main streets of America, however, the promise and the possibilities of an end to hostilities seemed just about as puzzling as ever. American government and military leaders at first took a dim view of the "feelers" for cease-fir- e negotiations. With understandable caution, they mistrusted the sincerity and purpose of Red China and those pulling the strings of the puppet from behind. But UN and American leaders would not miss a chance for a just peace. Truman sounded the keynote: "We are ready (to negotiate), as we have always been." As America, and then the world, watched with abated breath, the peace campaign followed the pattern of war aggressiveness and then reticence on both sides. Appropriately enough, thin-lippe- d Jacob Malik made the first overture suggesting a cease-fir- e and withdrawal behind the famed 38th parallel as the "first step." After some half-sile- political parrying, negotiations began through normal diplomatic channels In Washington and Moscow. Then wires hummed between Tokyo, Peiping and Pyongyang. Anxious to save lives, Ridgway declared himself ready to talk to the Reds as early as July 5th. They, however, wanted a preliminary meeting on the 8th and a meeting of the top brass later. Ridgway concurred, and the first meeting was held in a once-ric- h home in the of Kaesong. The UN sent three colonels, one a South Korean. The Reds dis-patched a like number, but included "receptive personnel." The first meeting, merely a preparing for the real negotiations, was tense, and held in utmost secrecy. American officers returned tight-lippe- d to their stations, but said the meeting had been "harmonious." Tuesday the top brass began to get at the core of things. As they did, American officials pointed out to the folks at home that a cease-fir- e order would not be an assurance of peace, and that the approach to this one seemed fraught with trickery. The statement, Intended, no doubt, to ward off optimism, was not necessary. Generally, the American belief was that the Communists wanted to quieten the Korean scene in advance of a new outbreak somewhere else. The only optimists were those who thought the quest for a case-fir- e meant the Russians were desirous of shifting main efforts to the diplomatic fronts in view of the disastrous failures in Korea. Some "reliable" sources also said that Stalin was ailing, that there was a general internal struggle in Moscow to get in line for his job, and so the Reds needed more time to devote to the home front. One of the most logical ideas was that Red China wanted out while it still could "save face" and say it had not lost the war. Factually there was less truth than speculation everywhere. Only the Reds knew why the peace movement originated. Keener U.S. observers marked the week the beginning of peace In Korea. Yet, they were quick to point out that, if peace comes, the hypo-chondriac world would be rid of one headache, and then could turn atten-tion to many other ailments. A peace in Korea might be fuel for a colder war. Joy That Is Real, If Premature Patients at 4 hospital in Korea let their spirits rise after word of the possible "cease-fire- " negotiations reached them, hoist nurse upon their shoulders. For most of them, the war is already over their joy is for comrades on the front lines, SHIFT INTO REVERSE As the anxious world watched the move for peace in Korea, the business world reluctantly checked reverse gears to see if it was in working order. Business analysts knew that cessation of hostilities would lessen the feeling of urgency and military spending would fall short of projected plans. Once the last shot had echoed in Korea, business could expect two things. First, the government would drastically cut down on quantities ordered. World War II stockpiles taught Washington a lesson. Second, delivery dates would be strung out over longer periods, with a few "rush" orders. Future policy of business: to cease producing all-o- and still remain ready for all-o- production. INFLATION PROFILE During the year of Korean war, wholesale prices Increased 20 per cent; retail prices about 10 per cent. Although re-strictive measures had curbed the rise, and even dropped a few items down, defense spending and cutbacks in civilian production point to a strong in-flationary trend, unless strong controls are applied. Price director Michael Di Salle faced newsmen with these words, "We will need every bit of price control we have had" to combat Inflation. He pledged to keep up the fight for more and stronger controls, said the public was beginning to get on the controls bandwagon. IN THIS CORNER While Dl Salle spoke to the newsmen, congress-me- n on the hill were getting squared away for their own battle royal over prices and controls. The administration was fighting gamely uphill, with two major sore spots: (1) An amendment sponsored by the agriculture committee to pro-hibit all price rollbacks on farm products, rescinding even the live beef cut of 10 per cent already in effect. (2) A proposal by the labor committee to revise the makeup of the wage stabilization board so as to give public members control and to take away WSB's authority to handle labor dis-putes. UNDAUNTED DEFENSE The President's trouble-shooter- , W. Averell Harriman, spoke in support of the President's 8.5 billion dollar foreign aid program, warned congress that any relaxation now in the de-fense program "can lead only to disaster." THE OTHER WAR As the world watched for peace in Korea, Pres-ident Truman called on congress to end the state of war with Germany, now years old. As he made the request, Britain, Aus-tralia and New Zealand ended their state of war with the Germans, and Canada and France were expected to follow suit shortly. India had done so on the first day of the year. The moves were a definite attempt to bring the German people back into membership among the nations of the free world. Coming at such a time, however, the action seemed part of the jig saw puzzle that is our world of today. Wars, peace, and rumors of both. LEST WE FORGET And still another sign of the times came from Washington with the announcement that the U.S., Australia, and New Zea-land have worked out a defense treaty. Uncle Sam is not forgetting the Pacific area. The treaty, which will go unsigned until the Japanese peace treaty In San Francisco two months hence, is expected to state that the United Sates will consider an attack on Australia and New Zealand from any quarter dangerous to the peace and security of this country. The treaty might well be the nucleus of a future pact embracing all of the Pacific area. Bird Dog What are you doing with that dog in the bird cage? Well, it's like this. It's a bird dog.

Benny was our second brother, twelve years old, and he looked like he might have been cut out of a scarecrow I pattern. Mama blamed it on not 3M.i. having milk. But Daddy was I always getting mad because Benny was afraid or wouldn't fight like the other boys. He said you couldn't blame it on milk. Then Mama's face got sort of tight and she said Benny needed it more than the others. So, at last we got a cow. Uncle Hal brought her home in his truck. Uncle Hal maneuvered his bay window from under the steering wheel and waddled to the back of the truck. Daddy stalked around from the other side. Next to Uncle Hal he looked nearly as underfed as Benny. "We gotta be careful," Daddy said. "She ain't taking to us strangers too well." "She looks crazy in her eyes." Uncle Hal poked a finger through a crack and the cow let out a low bellow. "She's scared silly. No tell-ing what she'll do when we turn her loose. Might as well find out, though." He let down the tail gate and un-tied the rope from her horns. "You young'uns get out of the lot!" Daddy yelled at us. "She's upset enough to try to fight." She came out snorting and pawing and went over the fence to the pea-nut patch just like it hadn't been there. Uncle Hal climbed the fence with considerable speed, consider- - Despite his bulk, Uncle Hal ran. He plowed a path straight to the back field fence. ing his blubber, and took off to drive her back. Daddy ran to head her off the other way. They circled around her, intending to drive her back to the lot. But she was too up-set and scared. She lowered her head and pointed her long sharp horns straight toward Uncle Hal. Despite his bulk, Uncle Hal ran. With his head back and his elbows punishing the spare tire around his middle, he plowed a path straight to the back field fence. He beat the cow there by several yards, but he didn't bother to climb. He fell over, leaving a good sized patch of his overalls on the barb wire. Old Bessie turned her attention to Daddy. He made it to the fence and grabbed a post and swung for safety just as Bessie's horns tangled in the wire below him. PHE COW was tangled in the wire and bucking. Uncle Hal was peeping from behind a nearby oak. The rest of us were atop fence posts. Daddy was mad enough to shoot Bessie then and there, but she was a summer's profit. He couldn't af-ford to harm her or let her hurt herself. He hollered for Mama to send the wire pliers. Before she could speak to one of the other boys Benny was half way to the house. And he took the' pliers to Daddy. "Watch that cow!" Daddy yelled at him. "She could make hash of you In no time!" Benny went on. The cow had calmed down some and he got pretty close to her." "Git Back!" Uuncle Hal yelled. "When a cow is that crazy" "She ain't skeered o' me, Daddy!" Benny reached out a hand and ca-ressed the cow's quivering side. You could see her relaxing. He rubbed her back a minute and worked up to her shoulders. The restless hoof quit pawing and she stood there trembling while Benny tied a rope around her horns. Daddy started to cut the wire and she reared up again. So he went and leaned on Uncle Hal's oak and tossed the pliers back to Benny. "All right, son. Cut her loose. She's all yours." Benny roped her by himself and led her into the lot. "Sure. Now can you stop thinking of your son as a coward and ad-mit he has aW Mama stopped and started turning pink. She was always mighty careful of what she said. Daddy laughed at her. "Okay Suzie. We'll call It intestinal forti-tude."

Patterson FOLLOWING the close of four war our national debt amounted to two billion, two hundred million. That had been re-duced to one billion at the start of World War I. At the close of World War I, our debt was 25 billion, 200 million. We had reduced that to 19 billion, 600 million by 1929. That total of 1929 represented $571 for each American family. By 1939, with no war, but the New Deal to finance, our national debt had in-creased to where it represented $1,165 for each family. In 1950, our national debt amounted to 257 bil-lion, 400 million, a total for each family of $6,786. With such a financial condi-tion faring us, with a debt bur-den and taxes higher than at any time in our national history, congress continues to spend money "like a drunken sailor." Only recently, the senate voted an authorization for an Arizona Irrigation project, the total cost of which will amount to consid-erably more than two billion dollars. That Irrigation will benefit less than 30,000 farm-ers, for which all the people of all states will be taxed to an extent of nearly $3,000, to be added to the $6,786 each family is now slated to pay. That is not the kind of economy candidates for both the senate and house promised the voters before the last election, when economy was an issue in the campaign, but it represents the kind we are get- - i ting. The senators who voted for authorization for such a project should not be allowed to go back to Washington. A project that would benefit 30,000 Arizona farmers, but would serious-ly endanger the water supply of close to 5,000,000 people in southern California, who have at tremendous expense to themselves carried the water of the Colorado river through the mountains and over the deserts that they might live, should be voted down. Now the senate proposes to give away that water to 30,000 Ari-zona farmers at a cost to the fami-lies of all states of $3,000 per family. That Is spending on a scale that neither the New Deal or the Fair Deal have suggested, and it came directly from the sen-ate without a recommendation from the President. It was not a partisan measure. It was voted for by both Democrats and Republicans. Fortunately that was only an au-thorization. The Senate cannot in-augurate appropriation legislation as that must start in the . house. And it is not believed that such an appropriation has any chance of passage in the house. Such an in-cident, futile though it may be, dem-onstrates that the spending pro-clivities cannot all be laid to the President. Some of it must be at-tributed to congress, and there both parties must assume a portion of the blame. That would-b- e Arizona expendi-ture is but a large sized sample of the utterly unexplalnable and need-less expenditures made by Wash-ington. A careful check of the voting in both senate and house will dem-onstrate that those who are loudest in their demands for economy will, at times, be found supporting appro-priations for things we could get along without Among such things is the central California Valley reclamation project of no value to any one other than the people of California, but being paid for by the tax payers of all states. Senator Knowland's denunciation of that Arizona project was but a case of "the pot calling the kettle black." Can we not have an end to all such needless federal government spend-i- n gs? While under the set-u- p of the legis-lative branch of the government, it is not possible for the senate to inaugurate either tax or appropria-tion legislation, the senate can. when it will, stop such legislation, when passed by the house. Senator George (D., Georgia), as chairman of the tax committee of the senate, has refused consideration of the house tax bill, until the house has cut from its appropriation not less than six billions of peace time ex-penditures. At the end of a year the "little" war in Korea had resulted in more casualties, than the first year of the "big war" with Japan. The "war wolf' cry no longer gives us the shivers. DOWN ON THE FARM Belief That Truce Not a Cure-AI- I Speaking at Louisville, Allan B. Kline, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said that truce in Korea would not be an immediate cure for all problems. Kline told a general session of the Southern Farm Bureau Training School that the country had two main objectives to avoid a third world war and preserve the Amer-ican way of life. The farm chief said that the Amer-ican way is based on "individual initiative with appropriate re-wards." "Inflation has yet to be con-trolled," he said, "if our way is to be preserved. Even if there is a third world war, we might lose it if we devise a program we can't pay for." He said the bureau favors pay-as-g- o taxation. "We don't like taxes any more |
