Cold Weather Cuts Power BEND, Feb. 13 m Three Central Oregon counties were short of power again today. The cold weather was blamed. Low temperatures Increased de mand for electricity at the same time that lowered stream flow in the frozen Deschutes river and Ice hogged fuel at power plants cut the supply. Power was being alternated among towns In Deschutes, Crook and Jef ferson counties. Lumber mills cur tailed operations. they're like life itself," said Curly.". nhn.se Illinois are a rippling an thology of the last half century of music. "They're popular for a while and then lose out. But every so often they come back again as a new generation comes along to en Joy them." Each night he lives over his life again as he tinkles out 300 to 300 tunes. "Hello Bill" Few people now request any of the 30 numbers he wrote himself, except lonely, beleaguered Elks who call for "Hello Bill." the official lodge song. But more than three decades ago people in the streets hummed his now half-forgotten novelty. "If I Catch the Guy Who Wrote Poor Butterfly." And an America, weary of the waltz, turned eagerly to the new dance rhythms Green composed for the famous Castle team "Tango Argentino," the first tango written in this country. "Innovation Tan go." "Sans Souci," the "Half and Half" and "RaBglif the Old Virgin ia Reel." The death of Vernon Castle tn an air crash in 1918 broke up his hit parade. Castle had been his close friend. "For 20 years I couldn't write a note." Curly said. He went into vaudeville with his wife. They were a featured act on the "four-a-day" circuits for years until something happened to vaude ville that shouldn't happen even to vaudeville. Green retired but he's back again now. He's turned out a new catchy dance tempo "kind of a boogie woogie with a rhumba rhythm" which he says is catching on In Harlem. "Writing a melody is easy." he said. "I can do it in 15 minutes and base it on anything a phone num ber, a car license, the figures on a dollar bill. "But turning out a hit tune? There's no rhyme or reason to that. Writing a hit song Is like throwing dice you can come up with a nat utal any time." Women the Best CARNIVAL By Dick Turner "Is it my fault I didn't bring back my report card signed?

"But women are turning more and more to new fields, and some are bound to put their thoughts in music." I asked 'Curly" if through the years he hadn't developed a phobia against familiar tunes he has played thousands of times. "How can you dislike anything" that has a melody?" he said.

"I think Cohan got the tune from listening to the railroad wheels that morning as he rode in," he recalled. "There wasn't a piano handy, so I Just wrote down the notes as he hummed them." The tune was "Over There."
