f CANNED MUSIC '
I' Ever since the. talkies drove thousands of musicians to
other .employment the American Federation of Musicians
has been conducting a national advertising'' campaign' of
education in favor of "living rr,usic." ' .,' .-, :'; :; ,,'
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.

Safety in flyiinr depends upon sound design and construc
tion and intelligent, careful operation of aircraft. The maxi
mum development of these three prime factors, plus a '
proper coordination, has dmimiiKfi'iifiiH uH will ,...,,!;,,,, i
demonstrate that air travel can be made reasonably safe.
, In the year 1930 there would seem to bo no excuse or
place for an unsafe airplane. 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." When pilots head their ships into electric and
snow storms they put the airship to a test it is not prepared
to meet. But nature can also bring grief to other transpor
tation facilities.

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.
That kind of an impression didn't make it easy for
a bank to be of any real service in its community.
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."
Only by intimate, friendly association with your
banker can he be of valued service to you. And that's
what he wants to make it possible, throuo-h sugges
tions, advice, or help, for you to "get ahead." You'll''
find his friendship both pleasant and profitable
