FINE BAND CONCERT GIVEN IN CITY PAR I LAST SUNDAY WHITNEY BOYS CHORUS OFFERS SPLENDID CONCERT FRIDA Y EYE WHITNEY BOYS VENT ON CON CERT TOUR TO COAST REGION aa v 0. A. C. TOOK SECOND PUCE Peace Oratorical Contest W as Held at Wood-Mar H all on Last F ri day Evening A. Ted Goodwin of Eugene Bible University won first place in the Peace Oratorical Contest held here last Friday night. # Clarence W. Hickok of Oregon Agricultural Col lege was second. To them go the prizes of seventy-five and fifty dol iate offered by the Misses Seabury, eastern Friends, who are endeavor- 4ng by this means to encourage in terest in peace. . Third place w a r taken by Cecil E. Pearson of Pacific College, who took a good first in thought and compo sition. Tbe other two contestants were Jacob Weinstein of Reed Col lege and Watt Long o f Pacific Uni versity. Mr. Goodwin’s oration, "The En during Commonwealth.” waa not remarkable for its subject matter. But ita sentences were eloquent and showed the man’s ability and exper ience as a public speaker.* His voice is excellent, and his delivery simple, earnest and very effective. Clarence. Hickok with “ A Better Way” ranked fourth in thought and composition but his splendid rating in delivery brought him up to second place in the final count. His illus trations of the effects of war and of thè influence of America in tbe world, were drawn from personal ex perience. Such an oration gave him the advantage of being able to speak as though extempore and gave oppor tunity to ring in a little humor. His manner was easy, almost over-con fident, and his gestures seemed, for tRe most part, natural and fitting. Mr. Pearson lived up to P. C.’s re putation in producing a winning oration in thought and composition but be ranked lower in delivery. His delivery was, however, marked by earnestness, enthusiasm, and good enunciation. Jacob Weinstein of Reed had an oration which was something of an Inovation: “ A Psychological Ap proach to tbe Problem of Peace.” He based his hope of peace on the establishment of ‘stereotypes’ of emotional appeal such qs might exact the influence of thoee lim e *a ’SHG to world safe for democracy.* ‘the Hun,‘ ‘ the nation’s honor.’ The war mo tive, he says, is not hate or covèt- uousness, nor any reasonable motive. Tbe war spirit is based on emotion. His delivery was marred by incess ant movement and gesticulation. Mr. Long of P. U. took as his sub ject tbe challenge to disarm. He took last place in thought and comp osition and fourth In delivery. His chief advantages in delivery were a good voice and a lack of self-con sciousness. Judges on thought and composi tion were W. B. Hinson, S. S. Dun can and President Doney of W illa mette; those on delivery were Pres ident Epply of Philomath, Professor Jewell of Linfield and Professor Minna L. Harding of Willamette. Miss Clara Calkins presided very acceptably.' Professor a n i Mia. Hull and Royal Gettman gave mus ical numbers and Helen Stanbrough entertained with two readings. BE BR IAN S TRANSACT MUCH BUSINESS TUESDAY N IG H T The Newberg Berrians council met Tuesday evening and transacted a number of Important matters. Tbe question of the queen contest was left entirely In the hands of Dr. Van Valin. It was decided to hold a band concert In the near future as a benefit for the' Berrians. Commit tees to handle the Rose Festival mat ters will be appointed by R. A. Butt and the selection of *a float design was left for a later meeting. It was also decided to place the “ Newberg” auto plates on sale at 81 in the fu ture and the public are urged to buy these to enable the Berrians to settle their obligation 6n this ac count. The resignation of Chester A. Dimond as sub-chief Munger. or vice president, was accepted. The drill team met on Wednesday even ing and there was a large turnout of The local Commercial club held a business and social meeting In the club parlors last Friday evening and despite the fact that there were eev- eral affairs on that same evening, there was quite a turnout of the club membership, some thlrty-flva being present. The meeting was called to discuss tbe question! o f whether the club should purchase a radio outfit for tbe entertainment of Its members. The subject was dis cussed by a Mr. Scherf, who repre sented a Portland radio firm, and also by several of the members. The sentiment of those present seemed to favor the securliig of an outfit. The question was put tq a vote by a motion introduced by C. R. Chapin to the effect that the club buy such an outfit and the president appoint a committee of three to investigate the *ubject with power to act. Thin motion waa a d o p ted .___ _ Following the business meeting an Impromptu program waa elated by the entertainment eommitte, and Bert Mtier as chairman of the com mittee called on a number of those present to make talks. Refresh ments consisting of sandwiches, cof fee, cakes and ice cream were then served. Dr. Van Valin, the vice-president of the club, acted as chairman of the meeting, and has sines apolnted the following committee on the radio question: W. H.
