•THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS.”
- George Putnam
.Mark September the twelfth on your calendar as an Important day in
your life and in the future of the North Santiain canyon.
That dinner-meeting is attracting Interest from all over the canyon
country already. It Isn't Just another get-together. It’s a vital, throbbing
affair that's either going to enable the canyon to enter the future with it»
eyes open, or Its going to prove that we believe In blind progress.
Men will be at that meeting to tell us how we can find out how much
we are worth and how much we could be worth In the North Santlam
country. Experts on civic development will be on hand to discuss the
problem of getting a survey of our region taken. They will explain what is
and what Isn’t important In measuring a region's resources.
When we discover what our resources are and where they are and
what we can do with them, we will be able to look ourselves over anil see I
wliat we have to offer to Industry and our nation.
Unless we step out and support this meeting In the Mill City high school,
the canyon will be like a broken down 1980 automobile two or three years
after Detroit Dani Is finlshisl.
Our Ilves, our prosperity, our very future may very well be closely
linked to the success or failure of this meeting.
The Storm
Every time the heavy clouds of an impending storm flirt with our
North Santlam mountains, we aeetn nearer to Korea. As the threatening
storm darkens the skies, so our thoughts are made blacker by the man-
made force gathering over the Orient.
Man’s war on man and man's view of nature on rampage seem one
ami the same thing—the same strange feeling of helpless restlessness strikes
us. What linen the future hold? Will the storm drench us?
Ho with storms and so with wars, the statesmen may shout, the news
papers may cry but what hurts are our own feelings. Home people like
storms, deans the air they say. Home even like wars. They make jobs,
end unemployment. In the end there’s a payment—but who sees the end?
Storms and wars reap a harvets of men's Ilves, fortunes and happi
ness. Man can't stop storms, but he can build Detroit Oanw to keep the
storms from causing too much mischief In the valleys. Man won't stop wars
either until he finds a way to dam up his hitter emotions and to permit
them to flow out gradually along non-destructlve channels.

How to Meet Problems of Met
Has Bing Bewitched, Bothered

Rudolf Bing, new general manager of the Metropolitan Opera House,
said today that he had come to Europe on the biggest talent aearch in op
eratic history.
Asked about the offer last year of BiUy Rose. Broadway producer and
columnist, to take over the Met and make It pay, Mr. Bing asked:
"Who’s he?"
When reminded of Rose's ldenti-
ty, the impresario laughed and
added:
"The problems of th* Met will
never be solved by
Broadway m e t h-
ods.”
Judging from the
above, it’s evident
that Mr. Bing has
a sense of humor
and.
as Groucho
Marx once said, if
there's anything I
like in a man or ao
opera director it’s
a sense of humor.
But on the off-
chance that some folks may have
missed the hilarious overtones of
Rudy's remarks, perhaps I ought
to translate them and let every-
body in on the joke
ess
FIRST OFF, our Viennese friend
wants us to know that he's in
Europe on what he modestly calls
"the biggest talent search in op-
eratic history." An admirable un-
dertaking, but seeing as how the
Herr Direktor recently put Kirsten
Flagstadt on the Met payroll, the
natural question is whether the
tate** he’s looking for is in the
tonsil or treason department.

Nest we come to Rudy a side
splitting "Who det?" when asked

down to it. there’s no reason why
Mr 8 should ever have heard hiss
er hosannah of an American pro
ducer who has spent the last quer-
ter of a century in the entertain
ment business.
After all, it wasn’t until recently
that this Dapper Danubian had
either time or incentive to keep up
with theatrical news. According to
the record, he has spent a good
deal of his adult life as amaneun-
sis and assistant to various assis
tants, but nowhere do I find any
mention of his having produced so
much as a necktie—although, come
to think of it, he did sell a few of
them when he clerked in a London
haberdashery during the war.

ACTUALLY, UNLESS he suffers
from a slapsy • lapsey memory
Brother Bing was only kidding
when he said, ’’Who det? The
fact is that he’s made two tries in
recent years to strike up a nod
ding acquaintance with me—both
of which left me nodding. Once in
London and once in New York, he
did his darnedest to fast-talk me
into backing some party venture he
was fronting for, and each time I
shooed him off with the polite ex
planation that my policy wae.

For a long time, I thought the
Bir.g in question was Herman Bing,
the baggy-pentsed Dutch comedian
—who else would hire Flagstadt and
fire Melchior? Who else would
substitute the grunt-and-groan Ger
man operas for the melodic Italian
ones?
The final jest is rollicking Ru
dy's statement that "the problems
ot the Met will never be solved by
Broadway methods " Mebbo so

contention dooaa t quite jibe with
