I Music for You 1 Now That Dealers Are: Supplied Record Collectors Coming Into Own MAXINEBUREN Woman's Editor If the strains of Tchcdkowsky's concerto No. 1 come from your next door neighbor's! played by one other than Vladimir Horowitz, or the PhUadelphia symphony orchestra is playing a concert over at Aunt Emmy's think nothing of it it's only some of the family playing through th repertoire of new pho nograph records. The boldest of prognostica- tors of 13 years ago would j riot have dared predict the unpre cedented popularity recorded ; music enjoys today.! Radio was supposed to completely spoil the public's taste for phonograph records. 1 . i , Instead, whether by chance or by deliberate and inspired In tent, radio has contributed great ly to America's decided upswing in musical appreciation. Through1 the radio, the jute box (you know those things) and the gen eral trend toward education in ! music appearing in advertise ! ments, Americans have become ; music conscious. They have felt a need for music they want, when they want it, and evident ly this can be satisfied onlyby way of recorded music L War threatened to quench this desire for music, because lack of shellac and man power cut down production of records. The sup ply is still short, but is decidedly on the upswing, with manufac turers able to produce more and more each month, and local dealers, finding a constantly iirU' creased 'stock available. ; I V The supply in Salem has -increased to a very excellent; Se- lection and is fast getting even better. Good classical albuinns and single records especially are finding their way to the local dealers' shelves. ! t. One dealer admitted that bus iness was 18 percent greater!! up to September 1, than it was 5 the entire 12 months of 1943. His stock shows a far wider variety. True, it's practically impossible to buy a record player. But there are many idle ones in town. A few smart people are finding it possible to hitch a turntable and a pickup (the arm that does the work) to their radio set Still more mechanical folk are rigging up players from obsolete radio sets, .j Now We Write p I have long felt the urge to write a story about records, hut realized that stocks were limit ed in variety and number. Now I feel that Salem record collect - ors should watch the local deal ers! for what they want! in ! re cordings, should encourage them to buy the type' music that is Johnson recounted her expert ences of the summer at Camp Westwind the Portland YWCA camp. 1 vW Stunning 5- , . 1 ' fs dtenond en-. , , y If gagmen' " V m iiic-3 ' ) D)i(P)lKliP) ens 0-9 ler's and purchased some dainty apparel.'

The man said me -commissioner from the Internal Revenue has corn - sidered my offer of $5 to settle for not buying an auto stamp in time, and the acting secre tary of the treasury has accepted my money. Goody, goody, the only thing is, why did it have to be the ACTING secretary, after ahV I want the top man to take my money. Oh yes and my case is now closed, and I don't have to do any more about it.
