3 SOCIETY NEWS OF THE WEEK THE following article by Ruthyn Turney, director of music at Chemawa, and one of the best-known musicians, and musical historians on the coast, is . of special interest and Importance. Mr, Turneyl who is a. member of tb'e Salem; Symph ony orchestra, has played, in some of the leading orchestras in the country. Including thai of Boston. And. by the way. he has had a bit of worth-while newspaper ex perience, which is rerealed in his writings: '"It is only about an inch from the sublime to the ridiculous, a similar distance from our boasted ctTilixation to savagery from Twentieth century enlightenment to the tactics of the dark ages. Let anyone who doubts the above peruse the history of the world, since 1114. Does not a review of the history of the world during recent- years pro fa that It be hooves all of us who value cul tural things to cherish them? Everything which tends to edu: eate and refine the people of a! community should be fosterfed and cared for with the utmost fidelity and solicitude. From the earliest ares of which we have record, music has had its place in the schemes of all cultural leaders and advanced thinkers. Compos ers and. producing artists have been recognized as benefactors of all whose environments made pos sible the benefits cf their art. To make a people better it Is neces sary that something of a high or der shall be afforded the mind as mental toniCj or diet. ' As reo ple think so are they. It is folly to expect lofty thoughts to eman ate from minds which dwelt upon that which is coarse or debased it is as to expect the impos sible, the miraculous. It will not come to pass. "We have in Salem the making of a symphony orchestra which will in due season, if backed up' culture by the public, become of inesti mable value to the citizens of the capital city. The attendance at Its concerts by those of lender years, of the school age, will as sist. in large measure in instilling in youth a love of the beautiful, without which there can be no civilization in the truest sense. Everything of value has its price and by paying the price the cit izens of Salem can ccntnue within their midst an organization the Kvalue of which from the begin ning will be inestimable, but which will increase each addi tional year of its existence. The price our people must pay is ridiculously small In comparison with the large value -they will receive the returns on the in vestment Will be a thousand-fold! The price ' to the general public is patronage just patronage at the .concerts to be given, and the fees 1 necessary to patronage will be very small in comparison with what is received. . Will our peo ple sustain the Symphony? We hope so. We believe they will." ! "An organization of this char-1 acter if properly put forth tand advertized, cannot fail to prove one of our city's greatest assets, as it will draw to our environs 'home-seekers of both wealth and a class of citizenry de sired by any worth-while com munity. The Commercial club of Salem would do well to back the orchestra, as it would afford one of the very best possible features for advertisement. Will the and Mrs. Lee Can and Mrs. Lester 11.

Contest closes Nov. 30 orchestra with favor? Again we hope so. "The people cf Salem and the immediate surrounding section should not lce sight of the fact that our city is the capital of great state, and those abroad nat urally expect to flind in a capital city all movements for education and refinement supported to the I utmost. It is a city of law mak ing and law giving, hence should be in all respects a populace sup porting both literature and art. Confucious, centuries before Jesus Christ, said, in effect, "If you would know if a people be well groomed, examine the music they practice." He spoke wisely. What human gods were Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven! Their of ferings may be ours almost for the asking.' What a travesty up on things refining and cultural that for several years "King Jazz" has not alone been endured, but was fed at the public crib! The old masters appealed to heart and mind, but "Jazz" never rose above an appeal to our heels. "Now let lis give our energies our support, 'morally and mater ially, to our symphony orchestra it will pay us well in many ways. Salem is fortunate enough to have musicians of talent in the orchestra, and doubly fortunate in having in Dr. John R. Sites an experienced "musician who has proved himself an orchestral con ductor of unusual ability a nrst rank conductor! Let our readers resolve at least to attend the first concert of the Salem Symphony Orchestra this season (December 6th). and it will follow as the night the day that they will be come regular attendants at the concerts that are to follow." . - . cm.i.i. i iCihonet rajura'.i who are etl.ac . . .,, .,,. ...'ivram i good at readable prices.- 1 1 Paris Jcnrnal. , DOUGHTON & MILLER HARDWARE 2S6 North Commercial St. an th?ir week-end guests.

Later she was employed in the county courthouse. Of her work there the Yakima Daily said in part: "For the wo men of the county it is a matter of distinct pride that one of their sex can hold such a position. In volving several million of dollars. and that her work has Deen so ( well done as to call forth special commendation from the state bu reau of accountancy several times.
