' SInr. brother. Ing. that' why

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.

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

come to mind, and proceeded to
make for the listener-each a
newfound friend in. the orchestra.
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.
If you can't play with them, at
least Mr. and Mrs. Public, share
with them the splendidness of
what they are doing, this Phil
harmonic symphony!
