And simply won't let anyone else enjoy them. Harsh words have been said about this week's presentation of "Carmen" and most persons frank ly altogether too frankly were disappointed. I believe the wisest are those who, although seeing many faults with the performance, are glad they went, feeling that this was only a forerunner of better things to come to Salem. After all, by practically filling the house, we proved that we want good music, and are willing to pay for it Some of us, with very long me mories, recall away back when the Community Concert associ ation's list of artists wasn't as im posing as it is this year. It's only by the efforts of patient people, that the association has been able to work out as excellent a series as it has this year. Frankly I feel that the La Scala opera company was on the poor side, but am glad-to concede that they had something to contend with, in size of the stage and other difficulties which we all know and some admit. This fact was proved when Violetta Eterno as "Micaela" managed to ' get out from under the stage drops and did a creditable job with her beau tiful aria in the third act. I . am thoroughly convinced of one thing that complaining has become chronic with many Salem concert goers, and that often those who complain the loudest at other persons' projects. Just as audibly praise their own. And; another thing going out in - the middle of a performance was never a sign of sophistication or deep knowledge of music. It is, in fact, a sign of lack of discipline, which is certainly nothing to boast about. . " . -: . J & V t -. , i.1 FIRST SESSIOfJ Mrs. H. R.

Dr. Frank Munk, lecturer in economics at Reed college, and author, will be speaker. Dr. Munk was born in Kutna Hora, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, and received his education in Prague University School of Com merce where he received his doc tor's degree in 1936. He was en gaged in research work under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foun dation from 1931 to 1933 in Har vard, Columbia, University of Chi cago and Brookings Institute in the United States.

''LITTLE PITCHERS" EMMA GARY WALLACE Parents and other adults enjoy reminiscing concerning their own within the hearing of chil childhood and recounting the fun- dren. More often than not, it is ny capers and daring pranks which time that throws a glamour about they used to play. Elderly people those pranks; usually it did not ex are particularly prone to do this jgj when they were played, and if some of their companions of certainly their daring nature rare long ago are present and the con- ly loses anything in the telling, versation reverts to their child- Those relating the stores usually hood. They usually begin some- enjoy dressing them up to make thing like this: "Do you remem- ber ?" and then they are off. If young children are present, they are entranced by the amusing actually happened and to feel that tales and astonished that their eld- jf their parents, who are now high ers ever did such things as they y respected, did these things, it are now relating. have As a rule, the children been given to understand, up to the present time, that their par enta and other relatives were ex ceptionally good boys and girls meek little creatures who always did just what they were told and could be depended upon to do the right thing at all times. But now they are hearing an entirely dif- ferent story and, in contrast, their own daring deeds are tame. Just what the effect of this will be on the listening youngsters is not always predictable. For ex ample, after Johnny had heard his father tell of "high old times' he and some of the other boys used to have, Johnny wanted to go and children who are out with the in do likewise, and some of his at- tention merely of having a harm tempts were destructive and even less good time, dangerous.

Here again the children are likely to get an exaggerated idea of what must be all right for them to do similar ones. Further than that, when par ents a little later find it necessary to reprimand their children for particularly undesirable behavior, the boys and girls are more than likely to say, to themselves at least, something of this sort: "Oh, go you are scolding me for a little thing like this, when you used to do a great deal worse yourself. It isn't fair! When I grow up, I want to have funny things to talk about with those iSliayed with when I was little."
