All Local concerts will be held this season Dear Editor Have you ever thought about two great common denominators that have been shared by all people since time began? All people, all races, all civilizations have shared in this human legacy. The first is the urge - the necessity to worships some being greater than themselves. The second common denominator is the incorporation of music into this worship. The forms of worship have been as varied as there are people. And the music has likewise been as colorful and varied as the beliefs that gave rise to it. From the wild beat of an aboriginal drum, to clanging cymbals, wailing horns, throbbing strings; from stately anthem to simply hymn, the music of worship has been an integral part of human existence. And some of the greatest music of all time has been written for the worship of God. But not only worship is expressed by music. It also speaks of love, of pastoral sweetness, a mothers tenderness, a young girls longing, a young mans pride, of war with its tragedy, victory and heroism. It interprets and expresses our deepest emotions. Perhaps you think classical music is boring. Have you ever noticed how many television commercials or movies use a classical music theme? THink about it. See how many bits of great music you can find in your daily life. And notice how very much it adds to the enjoyment of that daily life. Now we have an opportunity to hear some of this great music performed by Utahs own great Utah Symphony. They will perform at the Richfield Tabernacle on November 18, 1988. Tickets for the single concert will be available at the door at a cost of $5 for adults. Students will be admitted free. The Tri County Music GUIld will be presenting a full series of five exciting concerts including the Utah Symphony in November, Utah Opera in December; The Jarman Kingston Jazz Quartet in January; the Utah Valley Honor Orchestra in February; and the Missoula Childrens Theatre in March. Cost of a full season ticket is $15 for adults; $7.50 for students ages 8 to 17. Tickets are available at Salina Drug; Jensen Drug, Gunnison; THomas Music, Richfield; Monroe Drug; Barbara Julander, Elsinore; MelindaTorgerson, Koos-hareRoyals Store, Loa; Teresa Westwood, Circleville and Julie Brown, Annabella. Come and hear some of the musical heritage that has shaped great our live and our world. Esther Williams Glenwood Road Thanks for help I would like to thank all who have supported the Salina Riding Club throughout my years are president of the organization. - " - We appreciate the support of the business people, as well as the public who have supported our many events. - I would also like to thank the Club secretaries, and the club members for their cooperation and support Club Go Vote! j0fjnny fcrchantv President, Salina Riding Some say November 8 is no longer an important day. Not so. Election day on its down side, does present an apathetic and uninformed electorate who still believes in the Easter Bunny and honest politicians with an age old dilemma. Mr. John Doe voter is ex- pected to choose the candidate who will live up to his campaign prom- ises. Of course, no politician ever has, but John Doe has considerable trouble remembering as far back as the last election. Who wouldnt , considering the number of campaign promises that are broken every four years. The public servant - our model voter wishes to elect is a wise and frugal leader who will spend little, lax less and make darn sure that John Doc doesnt loose his part of the public pie. What he gets is an addition to the bureaucracy who will give everybody everything they want, paid for out of the public printing press (up go the taxes again) to make dam sure he doesnt lose his cushy, ego boosting job and doesnt worry about just be a well paid, ego-tistical big shot today. So what we get is a federal government Uiat talks about reduc- ing the deficit while running up the biggest deficit in history; brags about caring for the elderly while spend- ing every dime of social security income the day they get it on the general fund. And tells us how well protected and militarily strong we are while the USSR could wipe us at any time if we step out of line, we couldnt get a bomb off to them if we wanted to. We get a state government that outdoes itself explaining how much money they are saving us compared to all the other states and Pile irrigated with drinking water (to chlorinated of course), in the middle of a drought and a new city marshall protect it. All paid for by the second highest mill level in the county because thats how they do it in California, In spite of this, election day s an important day. It should serve as a reminder of better days. Days when America led the world by example. When we were the model 0f financial and moral and military strength. Before we fought n wars abroad and assaulted the sup- poscdly guaranteed freedoms of our citizens at home, tax was Days when a 1 worth going to war over (the Revo- lutionary War that gave birth to this country) and the majority of the country didnt work for the govem- ment or live off of a government handout. When you got to keep and reinvest a little of what you earned and didnt have to worry too much about starving when you retire. That js if the IRS ever lets you. But thats not much to give Up so our fine elected officials can say Im your new president, nor, mayor or whatever and heres your new round of taxes. But dont wony, youll get your moneys worth, Well come up with a new ;bat h of laws and taxes while youre try ing to figure out how to pay for the last one. So, John Doe, got to the polls on November 8, that important day of remembrance, or stay home, it doesnt much matter.
