Mrs. Dewey Wilson, Violinists Vanishing Race Is Melancholy Prediction By WILLIAM D. LAFFLER United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) - Jascha Heifetz once said that violin playing is a great but perish able art. At least one man is willing to agree that Heifetz knew what he was talking about. "Violinists are a vanishing race," Vilo Pisa, who is almost as intimately associated with the violin as Heifetz, said in an interview. Pisa's melancholy utterance reflects his concern for busi nessmen who are partly depend ent on violins for their bread and butter. Pisa is the proprietor of a number of romantic-type night spots which employ first-rate violinists to stroll among the patrons and play worry-banishing music. He has enough musicians on hand at his home base, Chez Vito in New York, and his other clubs to take cam of his needs for the present. Is Worried But he is worried about the future. So he made a survey of professional music schools, a canvass that confirmed his sus picions and deepened his gloom. Juillard School of Music re ported fewer students now arc studying the violin because the instrument takes many years to To feel your best,. LOOK your BEST!

The New York School of Mu sic said the violin was more popular 40 years ago, before ra dio Decame a commercial enter prise, than it is today. This school said comparatively only iu per cent ot me students now are bowing the strings. No Quick Results "Children today like things to come easy and get quick re sults," a New York School of Music spokesman said. At the American Conserva tory of Music, a spokesman said only two of his school's 50 stu dents are studying the violin. Youngsters in today's space age seem to prefer instruments that are easy to learn, the sur vey disclosed, indicating why the accordion and guitar are more popular than ever. "I have employed hundreds of violinists both here and abroad," Pisa said. "I regard this as a situation full of alarm for those of us who enjoy violin music. "There should be an organ ized campaign to win children back to the violins or should we admit that anything difficult, no matter how much the even tual enjoyment, is beyond our capacity.' Maybe Pisa's fears are groundless. i In a pinch, he can always gel 1 Jack Benny. iMiss Beacham Reports to Club On Girls State I EAGLE POINT - Miss Pat Beacham, Eagle Point Lions auxiliary ropreson I a t i v e to Girls' Stale, gave a report to the members of her sponsoring organization at their meeting September 2.1.

(UPI) MANOR-ISMS , By ETHELYN EVANS The life-long careers of our members are of an infinite variety; among them I find a number of mis s i o naries. Dr. and Mrs George Hagman tell of thrilling experi ences while working in China for many years as medi c a 1 missionar- Mrs. Evans man was neaa surgeon and director and Mrs. Hagman, a nurse, was one of his assistants at a hospital east of Shanghai, which was the first to be bombed by the Jap anese in the Sino-Japanese War. It was a devastating surprise, as no one at that time could imagine an attack on such institutions. Both Dr. and Mrs. Hagman happened to be at a mountain camp. The doctor immediately returned to his post at the Mis sion, encountering great diffi culties in traveling, as the Jap anese were pushing up the river and blocking escape routes. With his native staff, using what was left of the hospital plant and the scant supplies re maining, he worked around-the-clock treating battle wounded and fleeing refugees. In the meantime, Mrs. Hagman was doing as much of the same work as possible in the moun tain camp, which was filled with sick and homeless Chi nese. Under the constant work and strain, Dr. Hagman s health broke. Finally, after long nego tiation, he was evacuated to the States for treatment in a Col orado tuberculosis sanatorium; but it was two years before his wife could joint him. All of that time she continued to work at 30 at 1:30 p.m., in the home of ' the camp. Mrs. Clifton Green. lTflli Brook-1 During their years in China, hurst street.

One of these girls is now attending college at Ore gon State university, Corvallis, the other lives in Peking, China, and is the wife of the private secretary to Premier Chou en Lai. Both daughters continue to correspond with their foster parents regularly. Eventually Dr. Ragman's health did improve, but not sufficiently for him to return to his work in China. He was. however, able to work as school physician for Cranbrook Boys school, a preparatory school in Michigan, for a number of years before retiring. j They just happened to notice ; a "one-time" ad for Rogue Man or in an Episcopalian church j paper.
