' .,' .-, :'; :; ,,' f It Is claimed the effort is producing results arid that, many' movie houses, which dispensed with orchestras and organists with the coming- of the talking pictures, are' now calling them back and in some cases engaging larger orchestras than before. President Joseph N. Weber, of the federation, now repeats his early statement that the public has an ear for music that will not be satisfied with canned music when it is possible to have the original interpretations. ; The fact that there is such a large attendance at the con certs given by the La Grande municipal band, under the leadership of Andrew Loney Jr., is a testimony of the people of jthis community to the above statement. !'

Technical knowledge has gone ahead rapidly in the past few years and America is con ceded to be abreast of the world in this respect. So we find that the majority of the air accidents of today' are due to stunting, carelessness, recklessness or "taking chances."

You prol)ubly recall the old days when bankers were looked upon as ultra-dignified, unapproachable citizens . . . when you were rather fearful in their presence and, stood in awe of their position and authority.

You can't discuss your financial troubles or your busi ness successes with someone you fear or someone that is hard to approach. Now-a-days if you've had occasion to get ac quainted with your banker you find he is just a business man, trained and experienced in finance and matters of banking. - You can talk to him "as one business man to another."
