don't want people to applaud me;
I want them to fall in love with
the 'cello. I suppose the 'cello is
my favorite instrument because it
reminds me more than anything
else ol the human voice."
As a 'cello propagandist Piati
gorsky is a decided success. "Pia
tigorsky's playing has helped to
bring something close to a renais
sance in 'cello playing," according
to the music editor of "News
week" magazine. "He, has spurred
wide public interest in an instru
ment which, long extolled for its
virtues in ensemble work, has
been rather grudgingly acknow
ledged as a first-rank solo ve
hicle." ,
It is a direct result of Piati
gorsky's influence that more emi
nent composers are writing for
the 'cello today than ever before.
Piatigorsky was recently soloist
with the Boston Symphony in a
new concerto written especially
for him by Hindemith. Boston had
heard him the year before in the
world premiere of Prokofieff's
concerto, another great work for
'cello and orchestra.
Piatigorsky has performed with
the Chicago Symphony in Conduc
tor Frederick Stock's own 'cello
concerto. And wjth the New York
Philharmonic Symphony, under
the direction of Arturo Toscanini,
he introduced the Castelnuovo
Tedisco Concerto.
Toscanini himself started his
career as, a 'cellist, but as the
'cello's true worth as a solo in
strument was not recognized at
that time the Italian musician
turned to conducting.
Pitigorsky once said: "I hope
and believe the time will come
when many people will study and
play the 'cello, when composers
will devote more of their atten
tion to its repertoire, when all the
world will love to hear it. When
that times comes I shall be very
happy."
That time, If not already here,
is rapidly approaching. And Pia
tigorsky is largely respbnsible.

ODT Warns Truckers

At the ODT meeting Wednes
day evening in the county court
room truckers of the district were
called upon by Ed Dagner and
Ben Heiss front the Portland of
fice of defense transportation to
cut down their speed and to re
frain from overloading. Truck
parts and tire supplies for the
future are not promising, they
warned, and truckers must learn
to get along with what they have.
However the ODT officials stat
ed that there is a maldistribution
of available truck parts through
out the country and that it Is the
job of the ODT to find these and
place them where needed.
They advised any trucker in
dire need of a part to contact the
Portland office giving the make
of their truck, year, model, motor
and serial numbers, together with
the catalogue name of the part
and the catalogue number of the
part needed. With this informa
tion the ODT will try to locate the
necessary article in other districts
of the state.
Both ODT men stated that their
office was sympathetic with real
needs of truckers who were abid
ing by wartime regulations and
restrictions.

They Would Probably Tell
You A Lot of Things You
Never Thought of Before
For Example:
That the human eye was developed for seeing most of the time
at a distance; but modem man uses his eyes mostly lor close,
difficult seeing tasks.
Eye strain Is more than muscle strain it Is also nerve strain
and If not corrected, can cause numerous, apparently unrelated
aimcuities.
That headaches are reduced fifty per cent, on the average, when
visual defects are corrected and the body relieved of its struggle
to offset eyestrain.
That the older you become, the greater the possibility of your
needing glasses becomes Indicating the need for more regular
examination;
That the only way you can be sure your eyes are continuing
to serve with the efficiency nature intended Is to have a com
plete examination regularly
