Ing. that' why darkles wer born" or something to that effect is the theme of a popular soas a consoling phil osophy for there is no greater boon to humanity than music In somo form, Jaxs, classic, relig ious, or folk music. Each to Its derotees acts as a gloom chaser and sedative for trouble. To many It Is an iaeplration for greater accomplishments, and to all but a negligible lew, music in some form is a necessary and Tital part of their lives. - i ' Each city has its representa tive musical organizations which are as much a part of the city ' progress as Us chamber of com merce and its Industries. The more advanced the city, the more highly developed' its musical or ganisations, because such organ izations thrive on the support of 'the public and therefore the ad , vancement of " the publHs is ' re ' peetea in such brganizatlona. - -Moaday night will demonstrate '- in part the splendid advancement that Salem has made In the past . ear Ja musical. actfvtty.rThe Sa ." lorn ' thljbarmouic symptany' or : ch'estra will 'present Its third con cert ' under the - direction of . Jacques Gershkovitch and with it will be presented the Willamette university' philharmonic choir of which Cameron Marshall is di rector. This choir has taken on a civic color along with the symphony or- chestra for it has been chosen by Governor Meier to represent Ore- gon in the world fair which is opening in Chicago in a few weeks. - Both organizations are in their infancy but each is ,a child prod igy. Of a group of about 50 play ers in the symphony .orchestra there are 32 students, several of whom are grade school children, two of them 9 and 10 years old respectively, a - larger number high school and Junior high, school students and the remain der students at either Monmouth or Willamette university. The Philharmonic choir - has a com plete personnel of Willamette students. Many of the'symphony person . nel have had to overcome some severe obstacles to be able to take a place in the orchestra. Some have had no instruments, some hare Hot had money to pay for lessons to musically equip them selves to play with the orchestra, ethers have families to support or live at considerable distance from Salem and find transporta tion a problem but these ob- siac.es nave oecu vrWm. , . f 4Va tn ATT1 hAn at t no or- I chesta took offense at a statement which intimated that many bad I had to sacrifice in order to tak9 advantage of the chance to play j Is the Philharmonic orchestra, i o call it a sacrifice to overcome any f the obstacles was ingratitude In the opinion of this young musi cian-business man.

And there is Gershkovitch. di rector and friend and teacher. He is the inspiration of those masie students who made up the orches tra aaid one of those talked to. Perhaps each one does not have such an urge to play hut each has an urge to do for Gershkovitch the very best that he can do. Each feels that for both the sake of music and for the sake of the splendidly sincere and enthusias tic teacher he must do all that is possible for him to do. The or ganization is strong and it Is built arpund the splendidness' 'of the dlrectpf according to this discern ing young onan who expressed '.his opinions, npoa. the strength and !lena!6ness "of the symphony; as an organisation: - . Any one listening to him. as ne directs, would not doubt this aum-i ming p of the strength of the or ganization. He will eye his play ers with a penetrating gaze, raise his stick over a perfectly quiet almost breathless group of play ers and with the first motion of the stick there is sudden life, music comes forth perhaps a little trembling or a bit sour but there is Instant action. He may stop on the first sour note, or he may let the players go on and a bystander might think he bad missed the discord. But wait until the measure is finished snd then, "Too, and you. and you" his hands are waving, his eyes are blazing, his stick is poking . holes in the air. Then follows Individual work, red faced and almost suffo cating student attempts to follow the flow of picturesque English and get from his instrument the meaning that the master is ask ing. A few more attempts and the trouble is righted and then comes the sunshine from the delightful master's face and once more there is happiness and accord and again the practice goes forth.
