Potpourri ...
If some enterprising soul had passed the collection plate at
Hedrick Junior High School Wednesday night he might have
netted a goodly sum for a civic auditorium nest egg. At least we
think that Jackson County Civic Music Association members
who sat in the bleachers during the Erick Friedman concert surely
would have been happy to contribute. Potpourri would have.
We've always thought we'd enjoy good music under almost
any conditions, but we might change our mind. Of course, there
are those who don't seem to mind sitting on the narrow, backless
bleacher seats, but they're mostly younger and constructed along
different lines. Some of the women said that in the future if they
must sit in the bleachers, they planned to wear full skirts and
flat shoes for the climb up the steep steps. High heels and short,
skimpy skirts just aren't the thing to wear.
Let us hasten to say that we are not blaming the board of the
Civic Music Association. Had we been a member of the board,
we'd have voted to do exactly what they did do. Confronted with
1300 ticket holders who want to attend Civic Music concerts, and
a high school auditorium that only holds a thousand persons, it
seemed logical to move the concerts to Hedrick school. We also
would have voted to buy the acoustical shell. It doesn't com
pletely solve the problem of the terrible acoustics at Hedrick,
but at least it helps, particularly for those seated the farthest
from the stage.
Perhaps this cloud has a silver lining. If enough Civic Music
members are thoroughly uncomfortable for the concerts, perhaps
they will all join efforts and work for a decent auditorium with
proper and comfortable seating, a good stage and adequate
acoustics.
Mr. Friedman, who is a most wonderful violinist, and his
accompanist, Julian Bern, both praised the shell during a party
given for them after the concert at the home of the Fred Kon
schots. The young violinist also suggested that the curtains which
hang from above over the front of the stage be removed for con
certs, saying these prevent the sound from traveling out to the
listeners.
Mr. Friedman talked a little about acoustics and said "this
matter of acoustics is a mirage." He added that not only does
sound not travel from the stage to the audience as it should when
conditions are poor, but that the sounds the audience make are
carried to the musicians on stage and sometimes bother the per
formers. "You should just hear what strange noises come up to
us when the people in the audience move around," he said.
- The violinist added that some musicians think the acoustics
in Philharmonic hall of the new Lincoln Center for the Perform
ing Arts in New York City "are terrible." The hall, first used
a year or so ago, cost a fortune and acoustical engineers, archi
tects and musicians have all had a hand in the planning and
teams of experts are still trying to solve the problem of why the
music doesn't sound the way it should. ,
. In the October issue of the Jackson Journal, put out at Jack
son school, several students had written thoughts on '"If I Could
Invent," All seemed to be interested in getting good grades, with
out too much effort. This, of course, is practically a universal
wish among students of any age and any school.
Paula Moody wrote "I would like to invent a kind of machine
so that you can read another person's mind. Just maybe I could
get straight A's." Lynda Reavis wrote "I would invent a mind
that wouldn't let me get lower grades than a B" and Brad Jones
said "I would invent a tape study machine to make homework
easier."
Susan Thompson went a little further out and said "I would
invent belter books for the school and make better libraries. I
would also invent better people that do not get mad." She's got
something there.
Dawn Morehcad really hit it with Potpourri. She wrote "I
would invent a quillamalla. This is a machine that cleans the
house by itself and it takes only 1 minute and Hi seconds." Go
right ahead Dawn. We'd like one of those machines.
Karen Francis went Dawn one better. Karen would invent a
teacher. "She (?) would play baseball, football, prison ball and
every game I wanted to play. I would just take the batteries out
to make a new teacher." O.S.

In the Ozarks, residents
claimed that the fall colors
were less spectacular than in
other years because of the se

had as yet been no frost, the
traveler reports. Parts of the
areas visited had had no rain
since June 15.
Enroute home an overnight
stay was made in Tulsa, Okla.
with relatives of the Richlings,
and a stop was made in Neb

J. Sterling Morton, the founder
of Arbor Day. More rains have
fallen in the states of Kansas
and Nebraska than in their
neighboring states to the south,
and both were colorful with
many of the rolling hills cov
ered with fields of winter wheat
just coming up. Corn was ripe
and much harvesting was be
ing done.
To one who had not been in
Nebraska in 20 years, the sight
of the huge government grain

the traveler noted. It is esti
mated some 7 to 8 million tons
of this year's milo, a feed crop,

cause of the lack of storage

Broiled Liver Kabobs
With Bacon Nutritious
Nutritious liver becomes fun
to eat when it's served as
kabobs with bacon and onions.
Kabobs are popular for out
door grilling in warm weather,
but you can still enjoy fixing
these morsels - on - a - stick all
year long. Simply cook them
in your range broiler, says
meat cookery authority Rcba
Staggs.
Be sure to include liver in
your menus frequently. It far
surpasses any other food as a
source of Vitamin A, iron, ribo
flavin and niacin. It is also a
source of thiamine, Vitamin C
and protein.
LIVER, BACON
KABOUS
One pound beef liver, sliced
one-half inch thick; eight slices
