WE have reason to be really proud of the folks who have the energy and determination to say nothing of real talent to produce a light opera on the In dian theater stage Monday eve ning. -The title of the offering, written by Gilbert and Sullivan is "Trial by Jury," Those who know about such things declare this an excellent and ontortain-l ing opera. The purpose of the effort Is to raise money for the benefit of the Roseburg swimming pool fund, and we must not forget the fact that a considerable sum must be raised by donations and by such' entertainments as this or no swimming pool. The . sponsors of "Trial by Jury" are the members of the local school faculties and the Roseburg Klwanis club. The people of the cast are local, most of them without previous exper ience In this sort of thing, but all of them, wo are told, do excellent work and considerable talent is displayed. Not long ago a musician from this city was discussing music education with Dr. Theodore Kratt, dean of the school of mu sic at the University of Oregon and director of music for the state system of higher education. The forthcoming production of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera was mentioned. It Ib interesting, we think, that Dr. Kratt warmly praised this community's Interest in light opera. It is commend able, he said, that civic organisa tions. sonsor musical projects which afford activity for mem bers of the community. He fur ther commented that It Is la mentable that some western towns, which perform the first duty of providing Instruction In music and other forms of culture, will take no further Interest In the cultural advancement of stu dents when their school days arc over. Such students feel desert ed and either allow their cultural interests to die or seek such ac tivities in other communities. Dr. Kratt believes that there Is a revival of Interest in good music, and that this renaissance Is due largely to the rapidly In creasing number of people who are taking part In the proline lion of worthwhile music. With pardonable pride, when it comes to discussing the sub ject of music, we can point out to Dr. Kratt that Roscburg is clef Inltely music mlndrd, and that a truly large number of our peo ple are taking part In musical jivllles. We have several good orchestras, a men's glee club, two women's singing organiza tions, a municipal band, and an 80 piece school band that has won the admiration of thousands. The forthcoming "Trial hy Jury" production is something new but we predict that not only will the people of the audience Monday night enjoy It, and want more, hut that the east will lie Inspired hy success to undertake something else along Hie same line. Who knows, we may have the start of light opera organiza tion here. Editorials on New (Continued from pig 1.) Hlly fed as well as slltmilaled. In Los Angeles, they leave off the food and rut Ihe price. w HEN One remarks that "In Los Angeles" such anil surli a thing- occurs or Is to be observ ed, he should be careful to qual ify the statement. In Los An geles ANYTHING can occur or be observed and usually does. What one should say Is that the custom appears to be thus and so. Two-bit cocktails, for example. While it is true that such is the going price at the places where the ordinary run of people gath er for whatever purposes are served by the Intake of a certain amount of alcohol, it is also true that there are places where $1.25 is the going price. II7HY, this writer doesn't know or even pretend to. Maybe lfs to keep out the pikers. Maybe It's because Los An geles, shrewd In the ways of hu man nature, knows there's a cer tain percentage of the population that LIKES to pay prices high er than the general run can af ford. There are people like that, you know. Leave it to Los Angeles to size them up accurately and get their money. "TPHE point Is that Los Angeles to all fhinne tn all nnnnln If you want to pay more money than anyone else can af ford, you will find plenty of op portunities In the City of the Angels. If you want to live cheaper and better than any where in the United States, get ting full value received for every cent you spend, the Angelenos will be right In there pitching for you. If you're a nut with more money than brains, you will be given magnificent opportunities for separating yourself from the money, lr you are a quiet, cour teous, decent citizen, you will be treated quietly, courteously and decently. If you want a ham and egg breakfast with toast and cof fee for 20 cents, you'll get It. If you're looking for a pink ele phant with green ears and a curly tall, you'll get that if you're able and willing to pay for It Los Angeles thrives by provid ing all kinds of people with whatever they may happen to want and can pay for.

' ' mm T Dial AR Hu Al-rl-jtil nw i j i i i i SERIAL STORY DUDE COLLEGE ' BY OREN ARNOLD YESTERDAY: Andre and Lona go to an upper balcony. Andre is more interested in his confed erate's beauty than in her work as a spy. Ronnie and Wes settle their differences, and Ronnie as sures Wes she intended coming to the dance with him. He hur ries away to see Andre again. He finds Girardeau on the bal cony, Interrupts a kiss. Ronnie, below, hears a blow, sees a figure tumble over the low railing. LONA HAS A CALLER CHAPTER XII Quite involuntarily, Ronnie screamed. Thick privet, allowed to bunch itself artiscally against the arches that formed the colon nade, saved Wesley York from serious injury and may even have saved his life. Drop from the roof there was a good 20 feet. Ronnie Bailey screamed just once a shrill little "EE-E-EEE!" and was running to him before Wes could scramble out of the shrubbery. Lona Montoya and Andre looked down, appalled. "T I didn't mean to do that!" Andre called, Inadequately. "It was "T should hone not!" Ronica said. "Did you strike him?" Wes was making a lot 01 noise com ing out of the bush and she was reaching in to help him. "Wes! Are you'-all right!" "I don't know. Y-ycs. Scratch ed and bruised whew!" fie spoke tremblingly and was shaking when Ronica finally helped him out onto the operf grass. "It might have killed me. I see here, Ronnie, I must go to him at once! I " "No you won't! Come with me. Hurry!" "I tell you I must go to him! I was taken by surprise. No man can deliberately endanger my life that way and II am not without some strencth! I am an excellent swimmer. My muscles are "Oh, you men! All you think of Is muscles. Come on with me, Wesley York, before 1 use mus cles on you myself. Golly, what a night!" They found his car and Ronnie drove away with him. At the Varsity Pharmacy she bought bandage and disinfectant, telling tv,o HmrriWcr that the scratches and bruises came in an accident al fall. He helped give tne young fieut nli-1 Then Ronnie drove Wes around town a bit and end ed up again at the gymnasium. "I'm leaving you now, unj friend," she said, laconically. "Our first date's over. And Wes you drive straight home, Prom ise?" "I-all right." "Good night. At least I haven't had any time to be bored this evening! And I've jot some things to tell a certain party, be lieve me!" Wes was glad enough to get home. The evening had been a hectic one for him, too, and even though it was still not 11 o'clock, he felt that late enougn. ucsiurs, his face was still numb and he suspected It showed discolora lions. He slept poorly because his mind could find no repose. At dawn the racial signs were even more marked, and so lie stayed inside most of the day. His mother, concerned over the "ac cident," gave him more atten tion than he needed, and on Mon day he was presentable again. At noon Monday the tri weekly Pueblo Periodico, student news paper with a Spanish name, came out with a brief Item about his fall, and Wes noted with gra titude that Ronica had also told the reporter it was an accident. But the same paper also carried this: "Ronica Bailey, transfer student from New York, Sunday flew her golden monoplane to Phoenix, Ariz., with Andre Girardeau as a guest. Mr. Girardeau, re tired capitalist, Is spending the autumn season at a ranch near Pueblo. He and . Miss Bailey were friends in New York before the Uaileys moved to New Mexico." That's all the item said. Just a little personal society brief. rti.t It disturbed Wes York im measurably. Plainly, in his mind. Ronnie thought a great deal of Anrh-n Htrardeau. and so regard ed Andre's conduct last evening as excusable, probably because he had been drinking ooiorc com ing to the dance. "Ronnie doesn't drink," Wesley nUirnuu-ed to himself, staring at the paiier. "Bui this Girardeau - retired capitalist,' It says. There was the same old buga boo, money. A man with money Is a power. Wesley wanted hut little money for himself. His salary and prospects he felt ade quate to car cfor himself and his mother, even for a wile II ever he thought to marry some hum ble girl. But - He didn't have very good lec tures In class that day, and he himself realized it. He dismissed his students rather rarlv In each COPYRIGHT. 1S49. NCA SERVICE. INC. period. His mind just wouldn't get back into its groove. Tuesday wasn't much better. He spent a great deal of time alone in the library. He saw nothing of Ronica nor of Lona Montoya save once when Lona crossed the campus several yards away. He purposely avoided meeting her. He noted that she no longer used her crutch. Without it she walked with infinite grace. Wednesday was his regular field day, and at 1 o'clock he was driving his old sedan out toward the Rainbow Canyon Cliff Dwell ings, 12 miles from Pueblo, where he was regularly doing excava tion work. The road out went near the university polo field. He glanced at a group of riders at practice, then stopped his car. From his shoulder pack he took Dowerful binoculars and studied the horsemen. One, he riercelved instantly, was Andre Girardeau, and another was Ron nie herself. He could see her bright flash of laughter and the color of her hair and costume. Girardeau also was dressed me ticulously, as usual. Morosely, Wes drove on. The field day wasn't very fruit ful mainly because Wesley spent most of the time meditating on matters aside from work. Back home, he settled to reading. Thursday was mediocre, too; and on Friday morning from his third floor office in the admini stration building he saw Andre Girardeau's new coupe stop at the entry then take Ronica away. Saturday was still no better for him. By being alert he had man aeed not to come face to face with either Ronnie or Lona this week. Like the shy person he was. he was both anxious and afraid to see the two girls, espe cially Ronnie. Saturday night he took his mother to a movie. Afterward he read a while, then walked out alone at midnight to eat a sand wich and coffee. Still moody, lonely, he continued walking down Apache street and out onto the high semi-desert land, and when he had meditated there un der the stars for an hour he started slowly back home. Some vague inner yearning led him this time via Mescalero avenue, so that presently he was near Lona Montoya's residence. Her apartment was the west side of a duplex. It was dark,; but he leaned against a tree, to stare at her door as a girl-struck boy might do, and was thinking of both Lona and Ronica wnen Lona's door rather abruptly opened. Still no light shone, but a man came quietly out. Wesley's chin dropped in sur mise. He recogniz.ed the figure at once. Silently he watched while Andre Girardeau crossed the street, walked a block, got in his shiny new coupe parked there and drove away. Then Wes stretched his wrist to catch the moonlight. His watch showed 1:20 in the morn ing. (To be continued I APPEALS TO CITIZENS TO AVOID PERSECUTION. HEED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Editor Roseburg News-Review: May I, through the columns of your paper, voice an earnest ap peal and an equally earnest in quiry? With all earnestness, I would appeal to our people, each and all, everywhere, to refrain from persecuting that is, doing vio lence to the persons, or property of any group or sect of people, cither political or religious, no matter how wrong they may be, for persecution defeats its own purpose. It simply adds fuel to 'the flame it sought to quench. Violence Is always a poor argu ment. Truly, "the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the church"; and i just as truly, making martyrs! today of the adherents of a move-1 ment only gives publicity andj added Impetus to that movement. So I beseech you, fellow citizens , and officers of the law, move on-: ly within the regular channels ofi lawfully constituted authority, re- mcmbering that ALL our citizens have equal right lo the protection i guaranteed by our constitution; and EACH Is equally duly bound, lo protect and defend it. And I beseech you. fellow Christians, to heed God's admoni-i linn: "The servant of the Lord: MUST NOT STRIVE; but be gen-! tie to all men, patient, apt to j teach, In meekness Instructing them that oppose themselves , . " j (Read II, Timothy, 2:24 26.1 And now, of Ihe Jehovah's it-' ness people, I earnestly desire to Inquire frankly and ' sincerely: Why do you believe and feel that i It Is wrong to salute our national ! (lag? What scriptural ground! have you lor thai belief? Where. I t I I S4 I to the Editor I In His Word, does God condemn or forbid it? I have searched diligently, but failed to find It. But I DID find that God rises, and commanded His people to use: Banners, standards and ensigns names used, then and now, for that which we usually call' a "flag." (See Webster's dictionary, and read: Num. 1:52; Isa. 49:22; 59:19; 11:12; 5:26; Psa. 20:5), the word "flag" being used In the Bible only to designate certain plants of the rush family (ex. 2. 3-5; Job 8:11; Isa. 19:6) and that He also commands His own to support the government under which they live, and to obey its authority and executives (Luke 20:20-25; Mat. 22:15-21; 17:24-27; Rom. 13:1-7; I Pet. 2:13-17; I Tim. 2:1-2), heavily condemning those who do not (II Pet. 2:9-10). I am fully persuaded that "we ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29) when obeying men is disobeying God, but in all other cases we have this plain command of God: "Submit your selves to every ordinance o man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king as suprame; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him . . . For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men" I Peter 2:13-15. I desire to further inquire: How can saluting our flag be worship ing it, when actual worship is adoration I the profoundest emo tion of which we are capable) of the object worshiped? In the first place, there Is nothing about the flag itself to stir any such emo tion; and, in the second place, we respevt and love our flag only for what it symbolizes that intan gible thing called love of country love for and loyalty to the prin ciples upon which this nation was founded, and has been perpetuat ed. Furthermore, our flag symbol izes the strength, power, honor, and dignity of the United States government; and if a citizen of the United States, in a foreign land, is gravely molested, he has but to flee to where the "Stars and Stripes" wave aloft over our embassy in that land to receive the full protection of the United States government; in which case the flag means shelter, protection, home, country t.anfl all .our Amer ican ideals; The Jlagi itseM it noth ing but a sigh by which people may distinguish our nation, its do main, citizens, and property. It isn't those folds of cloth that we hold dear any more than it is the paper upon which God's Word ir written, that we love and treasure and hold in reverence and holj, awe. I love God's Word because it il the living word of the Living God; and count it the dearest treasure on earth because of its revelation of the Eaternal God o glory, and His incomparable love to us and plan of salvation for us. And I confess, unashamed, that the sight of Old Glory, our na tional emblem, waving aloft, stirs my heart till the tears start tears of praise and thanksgiving to God for a nation founded and perpetuated upon the principle that all men are created free and equal, and each has equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit o happiness. Thank God for Amer ica! May we, her people, love and obey God more fully and follow Him more closely, in these days of uncertainty, than ever before. Sincerely yours, ETHEL G. WRIGHT, 639 E. Douglas St., Roseburg, Ore. URGES MASS PETITION TO "STOP ROOSEVELT NOW" RROCKWAY, Ore., Feb. 28. Editor News-Review: If the so called lend-lease bill goes through then our republican form of gov ernment (Constitution, Art. IV, Sec. 4) will be gone forever; but what are we doing about it? At least 25 bills have been in troduced in congress to impeach Roosevelt and eighty seven per cent of the people do not want war, but the only difference be tween most of us voters and Rip Van Winkle seems to be that Rip woke up. If not already too late, I would suggest that we Join In a mass pe. titioning of our congressmen, as a matter of right under the first amendment to the constitution o the United States, to stop Roose velt now! To stop his getting us into war. To stop his illegal flout ing of the neutrality law and the Johnson act. To stop his giving away ships, unlimited millions in properties and goods, belonging to the American people, and their own defense, without authority, of congress or of the people.
