Fine Program by Louis Kaufman Brings
La Grande Concert Season to Conclusion
L-, 1 i - -
The 1944-45 season of the Union county civic music association
wus brought to u brilliant close in the high school auditorium last
night by the magnificent performance of violinist Louis Kaufman.
It is doubtful, whether the asso
ciation could have found an artist
who could have provided greater
enjoyment thnn did Kaufman,
whose complete mastery of his
instrument, coupled with n pro
gram that was entirely to the
liking of the audience, to which
it brought something from both
the old and modern schools of
musical literature. -
Most popular, perhaps, of the
entire program were two num
bers he presented as encores,
Kreislor's "Old Refrain" and the
ever popular "Ave Marie" of
Schubert.
From the highly intricate pas
sages of the Franck Sonata in A
major, and Mendelssohns con
certo in E minor, Kaufman went
on to present the Saint Saens
Havanaise, opus 83, Tschaikow
sky's Scherzo, and Paganini's
20th Caprice, the latter two in ar
rangements by Krcisler, and con
eluded with four selections in the
more modern idiom by contemp
orary composers. ,
Everyone in last night's audi
ence for whom mere is an appeal
in good music, be it of the ser
ious type or in lighter vein, could
not but have thoroughly enjoyed
every minute of the program, to
which the fine accompaniment of
the violinist's wife, Annelto
Kaufman, contributed in no small
measure.

o wage is too nign
that is earned!
WHAT OF THE u-agri of the future?
This question is bound to come up
in any discussion of post-war planning.
On this, our attitude is clear. No wages
are high that are earned. Fifty dollars aftlay
tarntd is none too hiih. Hut a dollar a day
umarnid is much too high.
More Productive Methods
Wages are a part of the product. They are
not the result of the employer's generosity,
nor the employee's ability to bring pressure
to bear.
American Industry has continuously de
veloped methods whereby a man receives
more pay for fewer hours but still increases
production. And so It will continue to be.
But wages are only one of Industry's
problems.
A Better World Musi Come
Millions of young men and women have
been withdrawn from their homes and
careers. Business is shorthanded. Many in
dustries have been seriously disrupted.
Public debt and the casualty lists mount
hither evciy hour.
Victor)', therefore, is the greatest nn
cern of everybody. Alter Victor)-, all of us
must strive to build "a better world ... a
world inwhich such misfortune cM never
happen again. 0
Material things. .. radar and () sties a(ttj
television and giant planes , . . will con-

FORD MOTOR
tribute much towatd building a better and
stronger American people. But these alone
are not enough. '
Confidence is the first need. ..confidence
that work brings reward. Such confidence
cultivated in a people generates enterprise
and effort.
Industry, being part of the people, re
sponds to the same stimulus. ..and is ready
to initiate and work and invest all for the
treasure of life in America.
Youth Must Have Opportunity
The way must be kept clear for independ
ence in business. . . and for Jung men to
start new businesses. Vigorous competition
and initiative have carried our country
safely and far.
American business is not performing in
complete function unless it makes available
to every family traditional American itandi
ardsof living. American business also must
serve social order and social advance. There
is little room for racial or religious prejui
dice or class distinction when a country n
alive with energy and is working. . t
These are some of the thoughts we hold
as we look toward the day when wage
will .Wain be earned by building the fioHs
of peace.
