. SPOKANE, Wash. Parents
who wonder how to get junior to
practice his music lessons might
pick up some pointers from Ray
K. Harris, director of band mu
sic for Spokane's elementary
schools.
Six years ago 19 children at
tended his first city band prac
tice. Now 400 youngsters from 30
schools are band members. Har
ris has four all-city bands and In
dividual bands in a score of grade
schools.
The progress reflects Harris'
ability to inspire a genuine liking
of music even the practicing.
Harris expects his young mu
sicians to work hard. To some his
discipline might appear strict, but
not to his students.
"As a matter of fact I hate to
discipline them," he says. "I try
to smooth over a rough session.
No group should ever leave with
hard feelings."
He doesn't avoid criticism, bid
ho is generous with piaLse.
"Children respond to affec
tion," he fay?. "I don't believe in
being stingy with praise. They
must have encouragement. Who
doesn't need it?"
His students must prove In In
dividual tryouts that they have
earned promotion before they
move up to a better band.
Finally, Harris makes parents
full partners in his musical proj
ects. "I'm on the phone all the time
telling parents what should be
done at home," he says. "I ask
all parents to attend our band re
hearsals so they can hear what Is
going on and then can recognize
any weaknesses that can be reme
died at home."

Traffic Accidents
In Oregon Add Up
To Immense Loss
Oregon motorists footed a bill
for at least $25,633,400 last year
as their share of the cost of traf
fic accidents to Individuals, Sec
retary of State Newbry has com
puted.
Safety officials estimate the
average cost of each traffic death
at $18,000, injuries at $060, and
property damage at $160 per ac
cident. These sums include Im
mediate costs plus such hidden
figures as temporary earning
losses, present value of future
earnings for permanent total dis
abilities or deaths, and overhead
costs of insurance, he explained.
Newbry pointed out that the
figure is based on 1946 costs as
determined by the National
Safety Council, and should un
doubtedly be higher because of
intervening increases in the price
level.
"Even though we regard this
sum as only approximate, it is
nevertheless a staggering fig
ure," he declared. "Individuals
are seldom prepared for these
sudden blows, and they are tli.
more tragic because they are
largely unnecessary."
A breakdown of the figure
shows 63,590 accidents account
ing for repair bills of $10,174,400,
439 deaths coining to $7,902,000,
and.- 11.4;"0 Injuries racking up
$7,557,000 to complete the total.
Newbry pointed out that dollars
and cents figuers take no account
of accompanying pain and brief,
but , only of sufferings to the
poeketbook.

W FAT5!
...(tjaHabirTlwfs"
"My conscience wouldn't let me throw out
even a drop of used fats when I know they'rQ
still needed so badly. Why, today's
shortage of fats and oils is still
very serious, our government says.
"I really get a kick
out of seeing how
much extra fat I can
save ... by melting
down trimmings,
skimming gravies,
and scraping pans.
I re-use it, certainly! '
But there's always
something left to make
saving worth while!
"Have you ever slopped
to think that used fats .
: are the only kitchen waste
that can be turned
into cash? That's a good
point to remembc
in these days
of higher
food costs."
