He later returned to our city to form a Music Project and Has) témain- ed with us since that time. Mr. White’s extensive musical train- ing and background will be of great interest to those of us who are familiar with his accomplish- ments. He studied mu at Bos- ton University; was coached by Carl Lamson of the Lamson School of Music for five years. (Mr. Lamson has toured the world as accompanist for Fr ler, the violinist.) Mr. White sung in Boston and New York in concert, radio, opera and stage, also with the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra and Peoples’ Symphony Orchestra, also of Bos- ton.. He was first prize winner in the Metropolitan Theater Con- test for singers all over New England, was soloist under Fa- dian. Sevitsky, present conductor of the Minneapolis. Symphony Orchestra. Since then Mr. White has conducted choruses and pro- duced several operettas. Super- visor; Execu- local came ig the Economic \that ‘goal. During a’recent interview, Mr. White stated that he hoped the orchestra would béaRlesto con-! tinue its work in ‘the sehools. He also sfated that he ‘planed to present regular classes in music appreciation with lectures on the composers and their works dem- onstrated with recordings. He continued, “The school concert practice and weekly programs have proved the most successful and worthwhile of all Music Project activities”. The valve of the concerts to our puplis can hardly be express- ed in a few words. An author of the function of music appre- ciation has said, “If America is ever to become a great nation musically, as she has become commercially and politically, it must come through educating everybody to know and _ love good music”. schools of Key West, and we feel that they-have made rapid progress in advancing toward Attitudes and inter- ests have broadened and enthus- | iasm, as stated by Mrs. Norma Dopp, our own music instructor, has been transferred to all music | classes. The concerts have been entertaining as well as educa- tional. The programs always in- clude some singing by the entire audience or soloists. Several vio- lin solos have also been featured. Some of the composers repre- sented on recent programs were: Hayden, Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Schubert, Tschakowsky, | Verdi, and Gounod. To Mr. White, local supervisor of the Music Project; Mr. roso, former conductor, and to each member of the WPA Band! and Orchestra, we, the Faculty and Student-Body of the Divi- sion Street School, extend grate- ful appreciation for the concerts which they have so_ graciously presented to us two years. We sincerely hope |that they may be able to continue ithis good work among us. Highlights HAPPENINGS THAT AFFECT THE DINNER PAILS, DIVIDEND CHECKS AND TAX BILLS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL; NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS INSEPARABLE FROM LOCAL WELFARE The historians of the will devote ma a analysis of the short-lived but terribly destructive Russo-Fin- | nish War. So far as the world of | the immediate present con- | cerned, its consequences appear to be ominous and far-reaching. Finland hes been reduced to virt- ual dependence upon Soviet Rus- sia. She has been forced to cede to the U.S.S.R. her second largest city, her major industrial area, important fortifications, and she has consented stomthe con- struction of Russian-owned railway vhich, when completed, | will practically bisect' what ter- ritory she has left. She is faced | with a tremendously difficult task in seeking to find new homes and work for those of her people who are leaving the areas given to the Bear That. Walks Like A Man. It is understandable that the late speeches of Finnish states- men have been, by intimation at least, bitter in tone when Eng- land and France have been men- tioned. In England a consider- able revolt has arisen against the Chamberlain government on the part of Britons who feel that immediate and effective aid should have been sent the Finns. Lay opinion in this country largely backs that point of view. On the other hand, some of the military experts are not so cer- tain—they feel that the Allies would have faced an almost in- soluble problem of transport and supply had they attempted to is a send Finland enough troops and jstart early in March when Eu-| tary Hull. equipment to turn the tide. believed certain that Germany, | ‘with her geographical advantage, ! would ha that the have ter. However, there’s no use in! iscussiug what might have been. And the ment is. Who Finnish War? It is obvious that Russia wen a considerable vic- tory—territorially speaking, she is back in the same commanding position she held in the days of Peter:the Great. Not so obvious, But perhaps more important, is dhe apparent fact that Germany also™won a great victory. It is well known that German pres- Allied adventure might | ended in unmitigated disas- | won the chapter to; sig question of the mo-} Russo- | future }sure was largely responsible for ending the war. As Major George |Fielding Eliot writes, the terms jof the peace treaty mean “closing |the northern flank to Allied ef- forts, assuring the Swedish iron | supplies, releasing Russia from jan awkward poition, reinforcing |thereby the German-Russian sit- uation in the Balkans and the Black Sea”. All of this is of the lutmost aid to the Nazis, who }look to a peaceful Russia as a source of vital suppiies to feed Hitler’s war machine, and who jare ambitious to extend their prestige, influence and power in! |Central and Northern Europe. Curiously enough, there is one ischool which thinks that the set- tlement »f the Finnish war on jterms favorable to the dictators {may improve the chances for peace. Their reasoning runs thus: Britain and France, seeing that matters are not going so well as jhoped, may relax their peace terms; ‘ed population is eager for peace —therefore, the stage may be set! for negotiations which will really get results. On top of that, the ;known pressure of Mr. Roose- jvelt, Mussolini and the Pope in favor of peace may prove a pow- erful factor in banishing Mars from Europe. However, recent English polls show that the peo- ple of the Isles are overwhelm- ingly opposed to a negotiated Peace at this time. | One fact is highly significant: ;The great and incredibly bloody jaction that was scheduled to \{German planes fly over London and British and French planes a bomb.
