MUSICIANS AT PLAY
So widely known that it has come to be pretty much a stand
ard reference is the anecdote of the busman's holiday, the
point, of course, being that the chief actor in the story must
have enjoyed riding on buses.
An incident of the sort came to attentionNThursday night,
observed by many, but interesting enough to pass on to those
who were not present. It took place at the Bend high school
gymnasium. Well over a hundred undergraduates had spent
weeks of practice for the Christmas concert, then had enter
tained for upwards of an hour with a program of singing and
of instrumental music. Afterward the two choirs and the
band were to have their pictures taken for the high school an
nual, but there was a wait while the hall was being cleared
and the camera man was making his preparations. So the
young musicians amused themselves by giving another con
cert. It was quite impromptu and was without direction. It
was also well done. And there was every evidence that the
youngsters were enjoying themselves thoroughly.
To our mind that is one of the important things about musi
cal training the increased capacity that the individual gains
for deriving pleasure from his own efforts. Of at least equal
importance is the ability to give pleasure to others.
As to this there could be no question that the organizations
which performed Thursday night were qualified. Speaking
now of the prepared, directed program (although as we have
noted, the impromptu concert was well worth hearing), there
was deserved appreciation from an audience which crowded
the hall. Some of the players and singers had the benefit of
experience, others, as is annually the case in any school group,
lacked such experienceBut hard work and fine teaching had
produced results.
Our compliments to Bend's student musicians and to Don
P. Pence, director of music, and Lindo M. Morandi, instructor,
for a most pleasing performance. We shall look forward to
the next presentation of the high school music department.
' President Truman's recommendation for a program of uni
versal training, the need for which he points by calling atten
tion to the fact that 30 per cent of those called for military
service in the second world war were physically unfit, merits
general approval even while he insists, for obvious reasons,
that his proposal is not a military program. At the same time
that we approve, however, we must observe that the president
is only a little less than two years late with his suggestion,
as far as Oregon is concerned. The physical education pro
gram set up in law enacted by the 1945 legislature and now
being carried out in the public schools of the state covers the
need.
The national wage stabilization board, we are assured by
its press relation department, continues to function. But only,
we hasten to add, in digging into the records of the past in
harassment of employers who raised pay rates. Recipients of
increases have been unmolested so far.

Salem, Ore.. Dec; 19 up If ex
perience, like the proverbs say,
is a good teacher, then the 44h
Oregon legislative assembly
should be well taught, for only
11 of its 90 members are inexpe
rienced in the fine art of legisla
torial lawmaking.
The 30-man senate has only
one "green" hand. He is Austin
Dunn a Baker lawyer and a demo
crat, who succeeds the late Sen
ator William H. Strayer, whose
home also was in Baker.
The other five new senators
formerly were in the house of
representatives. Three hold jobs
in the house last session. They
are Truman A. Chase. Eugene,
W. W. Balderee, Grants Pass, and
Eugene E. Marsh, a Mc.Minnville
resident, who served as speaker
in 1945. The other two are Orval
N. Thompson, Albany attorney,
a democrat, who served in the
1941 house then entered the navy
for three years service, and Allan
G. Carson. Salem, who also
served in the legislature before
going into the armed forces.
Douglas McKay, Salem, who
technically was on military leave
from the senate while serving in
the army, also was elected at the
last election.
On the other side of the cap
itol rotunda there are 15-newly-elected
representatives in the
house but five of these are "old
hands."
Colon R. Eberhard, who will
represent the 14th district em
bracing Union county,- and J. E.
Bennett of Portland, a represen
tative from the Fifth distri"t,
both have had experience in the
senate.
Harry R. Wiley, Lebanon, Dr.
F. H. Dammasch, Portland, and
R. H. C. Bennett, Dundee, are
former members of the house.
Legislative newcomers in the
house are John F. Gantenbein and
Rudie Wilhelm, Jr., both of Port
land; John M. Bates, Lake Grove,
Earle Johnson, Corvallis, Frank
A. Doerfler and Douglas R
Yeater both of Salem, Herman
Hendershott, Eugene, Marie E.
Wilcox, Grants Pass, Kenneth W.
McKenzie, Wallowa and Martin
P. Gallagher, Ontario.
The question of who succeeds
the late Senator Strayer as dean
of the senate is still unanswered.

i liEOHC.ANIZATION
(New York llerald-Trihune)
Early last June a dispatch from
; the Herald Tribune's Washington
Bureau stated: "The Senate went
through the motions today of de
bating a Congressional streamlin
ing bill which most Congressional
ohservers aKree will never tie
passed by the Seventy-ninth Con-i
gress." The Congressional ohserv-i
ers were wrong: the bill did pass, j
j Senator Joseph C. O-Mahnney. I
who had voted against the bill, j
; pointed out: "One Congress can
not bind another." He was right. !
Despite the long, painstaking
work of the bill's sponsors, the
amendments solemnly accepted
and the official roll call by which
. it was overwhelmincly adopted,
the reorganization measure -sponsored
by Senator Robert M. Ia
Follc-tte Jr. and Representative A.!
S. Mike Monroney cannot yet be
: accepted as fait accompli. The
Eightieth Congress, when it meets
early in January to organize for
the important business before it,
will adopt its own rules. It may
adopt those sensible, semplifled
strengthening provisions passed
by the Seventy-ninth Congress
last summer, or It may legally
go back to the archaic commit-1
' tec- structure and the -cumbersome,
clustered processes of the
i past. The decision rests with the
Republican majority. i
More than one political cynic
, has sueecstod in recent weeks
j that the new Congress will pro-;
: bably accept the generous pay ,
rise and the comfortable pension '.
provisions of the La Follette '
Monroney reorganization act and
let the remainder go by the board, i
j If this were done, by some casual I
parliamentary maneuvering, the
Congress would turn hack the
clock and the Republican party i
would lose respect and prestige.
It is heartening to report that at j
present the Republican leadership
shows no sign of scrapping this i
i important bill and reverting to!

The reorganization measure

To the editor:
In the iast I have noticed that
you have published III your paper
ietters from various suIisciIImms
who have comments to make,
both for and against, our cltv of
ficials and the way our city is
managed. This Is such n letter.
What I have to say Isn't di
rected so much against any par
ticular person hut rather against
certain policies of the city water
department.
Recently I undertook to build n
home with the "help" of various
government auencles and hanking
Institution. Having successfully
filled out an almost endless suc
cession of blank forms and que
tinniilrcs I obtained the necessary
priorities and financial harking to
hulld u modest home.
Now the house Is Hearing com
pletion and I find that In order
to have running water In the
house I must dig my own ditch
and Install the necessary pipe at
my own cxense. The city water
department enn't afford to siend
I'liv more money on extending;
this particular water main.
The city officials the commis
sioners, mayor and city manager
have told me it has always Iveen
a pollcv of the water ileu'tment
to hulld and extend only those
water lines that will serve a suf
ficient number of homes to Insure
their being tald for In n reason,
able length of time by the month
ly water revenue xt!d hy the con
sumers. I've asked the city to put In a
service line on East Franklin for
an approximate instance of 'JMI
feet. This would bring water to
the front of my property when"
I could connect on to it. They
toltl me the onlv way It ran lie
done Is for me to bear the entire
expense. I can't afford it and
neither can the city or so they
say.
Now I'm not asking for any
privileges that others haven't
asked for - and got. I onlv ask
that the city do for me what It
has done for these others.
I've only asked the city for a
250 foot service line when I
among others, know that In cer
tain cases the city has extended
water mains a block or more to
accommodate people who are bet
ter friends of our city fathers
than am I.
I don't think It's fair or right.
