Mrs, Leverich announced that it is the intent of the committee to have Oregon the first state in the union to com plete registration, with every woman registered as to her abilities, experience, profes sion and knowledge. ' This is a federal project, she said, and compares with the work done by. the federal employment bureau, except that it is ex clusively for women, enabling . the government to have wo men ready to place in posi tions vacated by men- who have entered the service, t The speaker startled her listeners by stating that girls nay have to take the place of boys in the farm fields, or do other work -that In America has been strictly out of the province of women. ..'-.' Mrs. '-. Leverich . explained conflict with other, registra tions made . through- local clubs, - service organizations or. chambers of commerce but is .entirely different ' and strictly . under federal ' sup ervision.

The Reason I Look So MAD It Because " I bought too many shoes this fall, I figured more people wanted the better SELBY footwear, but I was ' certainly crossed up en that, - So . Mutical Motel ' The annual Orchestral and Operatic Issue of the Musical Courier this year Is Issued amid conditions akin to actual wii days. It might be well to ask: "What effect Is this state of alarr having upon our country's artistic life?" The Musical Courier can provide an answer. America is again turning to music, as during World War No. 1. When the Chicago Symphony Orchestra observed Its Jubi lee season Inst year, some might have felt that this was a lone Indication of Intoreat In symphonlo music. This season, New York's Philharmonic-Symphony Society la celebrating It 100th anniversary. And on Its program are appearing the composi tions not of writers of a past era, but of contemporary and nntivo Americans. In many ways, the nation is Indicating Its Interest In musi cal affairs. In the words of Mayor Howard W. Jackson of Baltimore, It Is being revealed on all sides that muslo Is "a vital factor In both amusement and recreation." That city 1 observing the 23th year of Its contribution, from municipal funds, for the maintenance of a municipal orchestra. In San Francisco, the city budget this year Is nllotlng more than one tenth of one per rent for music, an estimated total of 185,000 out of its tsx funds. In Ann Arbor, Mich., the orchestra I an all-city one: In Salt Lake City, the Utah State Symphony again la cooperating with the Music Project of the WPA and sub scriptions for Its season, show an Increase of 30 per cent ovJL last year. (O - Tb enumerate the list of municipalities where subscription lists and attendance reports show an Increase would require additional pages: these facts are revealed, however. In the various reports to the Musical Courier, It Is enough to say that tho $60,000,000,000 defense budget of the Nation Is re sulting In a musical boom from coast to coast. Our orchestras aro proving that their audience Is not con fined to the concert halls, to their local cities, to the localities which they visit. It Is Indicated from reports of the broadcast Ing networks that practically every major ensemble will be heard over the air during the season. Noted organizations such as tho New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia and the Rochester Philharmonic, are making regular weekly broad casts. The audience of 20,000,000 which listens to the radio wants the best In music, , On the radio are heard, too. some performances of lead ing opera companies, from the West Coast to the Metropolitan in the East. From excerpts to complete operas, these broad casts evidence the fact that the American sudUryre knows and likes its opera. That there Is a growing tenderKK av give such perform ances in English Is also demonstrated1 by the change in our operatic bill of fare. Four works aro to be sung In English this year at the Metropolitan: Rochester and Philadelphia cajsa, tinue their policy of presenting opera In the language of tlsr listener. St. Louis Is another Instance of this. In Chicago, there has also been a change toward a greater popular appeal of opera. Fortune Gallo. pioneering Impresario who brought opera to the hinterlands, has been called to assume the general management of Its lyric company. Gio vanni Mnrtlnelli, long a favorite In that city as well as at the Metropolitan. Is his artistic director In the movement toward making opera available tor all. Nor must our other musical organizations be overlooked In any summary of the new musical year. All have been vital fuctors, all have played Important roles. Tribute to them I paid in the statements of many orchestral conductors and man agers, as revealed In this issue. The music clubs, fraternities and other societies play a dominant role. This year, for example, Delta Omlcron I ob serving Its 32nd anniversary. Its record of notable achievement Is Illustrative of what such musical organization have done; but It also I prophetic of the future. Has the wsr affected this country? It has, but In a manner which few would have dared prophesy even a decade ago. For America has Indeed turned to music.
