Show MIDV ALE JOUR NAL AND MURR AY EAGL E - PRIZES OFFERED WHAT'S SMART IN rflEN'S WEAR FOR BEST VOICES Nationa l R a d i o Auditio n ,Open to Young Singers in This Country . .America's future generation of vocal stars wlll be disclosed to the world this Fall as anothe-r of the wonders due to radio. Every young man or woman with the gift of song, whether from country, town or city, will have an equal chance. A nation-wid e quest for the best young singers and the opening of the door of opportuni ty to them has been undertake n by the Atwater Kent Foundatio n, an institution establishe d for scientific and educationa l purposes by A. Atwater Kent, the Philadelph ia radio manufactu rer and sponsor of the Sunday night grand opera hour, broadcast over a network of nineteen stations. • The Foundatio n has announced plans for a "National Radio Audition," to find by competitio n the best undls· covered voices In the United States. Prizes aggregatin g $17,500, with tul· tion for a musical education In certain cases, are otl'ered as follows: The two winners of first place In the National Audition -a man and a woman-w ill each receive a gold decoration , $5,000 In cash and two years' tuition in a leading conserva· tory. Winners of second prizes will each receive $2,000 In cash and one year's tuition. Winners of third prizes wl11 each receive $1,000 and one year's tuition. Winners of fourth prizes will each receive $500. Winners of ftfltl prizes will each receive $250. Musical, civic and women's clubs In each communit y In each state whl be Invited to hold local contests to select the best young man and best young woman singers of their towns. These winners wl11 then be certified to a state audition, which will be broadcast by a radio station in each state. A state winner of each sex will be chosen and will receive a silver medal. The next step Is a district audition. The young men and women who have won state honors will be taken to a central broadcast ing station In one of five districts, where an audition will be broadcast to select the two winners- a young man and a young W<JI!lan-from that district. The two winners In each district will receive gold medals and the ten finalists thus selected will be taken to New York for the final National Audition, to be broadcast over a na· tiona! network of stations. All expenses of contestan ts in the district and final auditions, Including railroad fare, hotel bills, entertainm ent, etc., will be paid by the Atwater Kent Foundatio n. The spirit and purpose of the Na· tiona! Audition are indicated In a statement by A. Atwater Kent, pres!· dent of the Foundatio n, who said: "The discovery of one of those rare voices, of which each generation pro· duces a very few, seems to me an event of profound national lmpor· tance. Even when such a voice could give pleasure to only a few thousand people In a year it was a national treasure. Now that millions may enjoy It on the same evening through the medium of radio, such a voice has become priceless. "The National llitdio Audition, supported by the Atwater Kent Foundation, is an undertakin g to search the entire country for beautiful voices and to offer these singers an oppor· tunlty for full developme nt, recognition and reward." · The principal qualificati ons for con· testants are as follows: - :Must not be over 25 years old; must never have been associated wit IJ . a profession al theatrical or operatic company; must never have been a paid principal in any concert held outside their own states; must declare an intention to follow a musical career and must be free from theatrical or musical contracts This limitation permits choir sl11g ers to enter the auditions, even thoug1a they may have received flnan clal compensa tion for singing in churches.

The log ical place for this developm ent appears to be Los Angeles on account of Federal bonded warehous e facilities with adequate financing- available for the producer as well as ideal tran~por tation facilities both by rail and th1·u tho port of Los Ang-eles serving as the •ateway not only to the Atla.ntic Seaboard but to the world's markets. Of course, for many years the East Coast with Boston as the ct>nter of activities has been the dominatin g factor in the wool industry so far as the markets are conce.rned. This situation, of course, is the outgrowth of the early days of centraliza tion of population in the East as well a~ production to a large extent but with the steadily advancing line of wool consuming population to the Pacific as well as the developm ent in the Western range states of the sheep industry it appears reasonabl e that a readjustment will come about and that the Pacific Coast will come in for its full share in the distributio n and manufacturing of wool products. There is the significan t fact that of the sheep population in the United States amountin g to about forty two million head over 77 per ce.nt arc located West of the Missouri River and of this number well in excess of half are West of the Rocky Mountains . Of course, the production of the wool is in ratio to this percentag e of sheep production . In California alone eighteen million pounds are produced each year equalling 7 per cent of the 254 milliqn pounds produced in the United States, and it is evident that a substantial portion of the 254 million tbs. of productio n is represe,nte d in the ex treme western states. The larger share of this western T HE recent visit of a noted English stylist and color expert to New York and Chicago altracted a ~ood deal of attention in the Metropol itan press. While many of the headlines were devoted to sensation al trivialities about the king having his trouser prcs:>ed down the side, and discussio ns of just what the word "sloppy" meant when applied to the Prince of Wales' mode of dress, some interesti11 g informat ion on color and style was brought out.

J' • wool production is shipped East in most cases the movt>ment being before it is scoured and cleaned. This in its st>lf rE-presents a substantia l transportation burden as over 60 per cent of the weight is in dirt and grease which is removed by a scouring or cleaning process. Los Angeles is admittedl y the proper location for a wool center but despite the facilities and advantage s surroundi ng the location o,nly about four and one-half million pounds of wool enter the City annually and about one-half of this moves on to Boston. From an economic standpoin t it can easily be recognized that the West in moving this western wool to the East Coast for scouring and manufactu ring into the finished products, then moving these products back to the Pa cific Coast to supply the consumer, Coast manufact urers should be developed to eliminate this waste. Above that point indication s are that even- tually a textile center will result thru which the finished product will be distributed to world port: and the Atlantic Seaboard. Until this situation is brought about many economies would be effected by the industry if the .movemen t were swu.ng from the East to the Pacific Coast for scouring and cleaning and then transporta tion of the raw product to eastern markets as the saving in weight alone would represent an imme,nse sum. • LIONS CLUB ELECTS OFFICER S FOR ENSUING YEAR'S WORK At a hectic meeting of the Midvale Lions Club last Thursday eve,ning, held in the Communi ty Church, officers were elected to raise the sunken hulk and guide her, if possible, throu~h the coming year.
