The young men whom we have contributed to this government service will be occupied elsewhere. Millions of man hours of their labor will go to improve conditions in Idaho, Minnesota, Utah and other states both east, west and south of us. It is distinctly to the interest of North Dakota that this situation be corrected. We need the services of those young men in our own state, True, we have no great national forests to be improved and protected but we do have the best opportunity for constructive -action which exists atiywhere in the entire United States. “THE PhomARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1987 Benthe SCENES Washington Spein’s Military Lesson Largely One _ tes. _ Suffer Just Got Mad Rather Than ing Up’ By RODNEY DUTCHER Washington ‘We have land where the swirling dust serves ample notice that soil conservation demonstrations would be invaluable.’ We have coulees.and intermitent streams where good dam sites beckon for someone to make use of them.

Our public officials should set aside their political differ- ences and unite in a request to the government that these boys be assigned to camps IN THEIR HOME STATE. Boulder Dam Will Pay , ‘ Electric distribution firms which have contracted to pur- chase power generated at Boulder dam at a “firm” power rate of 1.68 mills per kwh and a “surplus” power at 14 mill per kwh already are asking for a reduction in the terms of their contracts. : Their argument is that a cut by:the government will permit a drop in rate to the consumer, thus promoting the ‘use of elec- tricity, and that the government doesn’t need the higher rate since the enterprise will pay out in much less than 50 years on the present basis. They also contend that competitive condi- tions demand a revision. On the basis of information put out by the interior.depart- ment, congress established a fund of $165,000,000. Of this sum $25,000,000 was allocated to flood control. All of the money was to be repaid in 50 years at four per cent interest and if the revenue exceeded the amortization charges, 1854 per cent of the excess was to be paid to the states of Arizona and Nevada |¢ in lieu of the taxes which they might have collected if the enter- prise were under private ownership. J thout , the entire cost of the project will be amortised in less than 50 years.” sound public works, properly conceived and efficiently made to pay substantial dividends. 2 Place for Fundamentalists ‘When America observes Music Week, May 2 to 8, it is sin- cerely to be hoped that someone of national repute will stand , upand defend the dictionary definition of the word. This country has long been given to understand that, unless it could cultivate a taste for the allegedly higher realms of the musical art it was hopelessly, de classe. That just isn’t so and it is about time the fact were recog- nized. If a man prefers to listen to the bricklayers’ quartet rather than a Chopin etude that is his business and there is no reason to snub him for it. After all, he probably could make a better defense of his likes or dislikes than someone who prefers —or pretends to prefer—only the works of Brahms and Mozart. To make the matter plain, it is well to look at Webster's + definition of music. He calls it, in order: “the science and art of the rhythmic combination of tones, vocal or instrumental, Aembracing melody and harmony; a composition or mass of com- positions, conceited or executed according to musical rule or _ spirit; any rhythmical succession or combination of sounds if pleasing to the ear; melody; hence the sensations or emotions thus produced.” It was that last definition, probably, which brought forth such sage remarks as “music hath charms to soothe the savage breast” and “Let me write a nation’s songs; I care not who writes its laws.” - : To the average man—and unless music appeals to the indi- ~ vidual it is not important—music is a sensation, an emotion. It is never an intellectual exercise or a demonstration of technical ability. The best violinist is the one who can MOVE his audience emotionally, not the one who presents the best fingering tech- nique. After all, the latter is only useful as it contributes to| the emotional effect. ; It is about time that America quit being ashamed of itself and moved definitely toward a national music of its own in which it can take pride. It need not follow the pattern created by Europe. It will be better if it does not. We have followed - Europe in too many things already. What it should do is express the national consciousness in ‘rhythm, melody and harmony. It should be of such nature that ‘the national emotions respond to it, It should be an inspiration _ which people can FEEL, not something to talk about. It should produce emotions, not polite applause. Above all, America should get away from the idea that it has to live up to the standards created by other peoples. W. “will'do much better to create standards of our own. oa 3 RB: aT He A freee ue ik i ag ‘| : i Hi ii Ht | HE cl af ld t i t i EOSEPiEE nue all FL i tHe Es 3 i if E HEEE fye seed cele 40Rhythm 42 To remunerate 1 Extra tire, 43 Black 2 vay 82 Laughter, BHarried sound. 9 . $31t had a ——10 To impose. —~" EG i Your: Personal Health | By William Brady, M.
