Stanley Baugh Widely Known Composer To udge Contest Moissaye Boguslawski, widely known pianist, composer, andj eacher will serve as judge in the Abilene section of the 1944 Na- ional Piano Playing Auditions, ponsored by the Abilene chapter if the National Guild of Piano it was announced by E. Edwin Young, local guild chairman, yesterday. The dates for the luditions be April 26th. Boguslawski was Born in-Rusia, son of a clarinet player in the army of the czar, who brought lim to America in infancy, where Chicago lie early gave great promise through his precocity as a musician. Among the famous pianists who encouraged the young trtist were Busoni, Godowsky, Gabrilowitch, Caruso and dePach- mann, the latter taking him as his private pupil, an invaluable association and one that has left its stamp on Boguslawski's playing, especially his interpretation of Jhopin.

In addition to his career as a piano virtuoso, including solo ap- jearances with the Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, St. Louis, Metropolitan opera house and with the National -Symphony orchestras, and wide acclaim as a concert pianist, Boguslawski is prominent as a composer. He has contributed a large number of piano pieces to teaching literature, besides revising many of the classics; also published books of teaching material. Hundreds of ambitious piano students of Abilene and vicinity will appear before Mr. Boguslawski and play for local, district, state and national honors, which will be won according to the individual achievement of each pupil.

Those who ably perform two to three memorized selections will be declared local winners. The playing successfully of four to six pieces is the requirement for district winners. All who present a partial program of seven to nine compositions win state honors; and those who ably play complete programs of ten or more works chosen from classic, romantic, and modern piano literature will place upon the 1944 National Honor Roll. All winners will this year receive lap'el pins showing their classification and winner type in addition to their formal certificates of award from the National Guild of Piano Teachers. The names of all winners will be published in the 1945 Guild yearbook and given national distribution.

The local piano playing affair is a part of a coast to coast evenl held annually since 1929 in 128 music centers of the country for the purpose of setting up worthy national goals towrad which American piano pupils may work. During the war, the movement has been continued as a morale builder since music stands high on the list of mediums for uplifting the spirit of a people.

WLB Authorizes Records By AFM WASHINGTON, March 11 A War Labor Board panel today recommended in effect that the American Federation of Musicians be directed to resume record mak- The board had assumed jurisdiction in the 18-rnonths-old dispute between the federation and seven radio transcription companies despite a union contention its members are not on strike, that no labor controversy exists and that the board had no jurisdiction. In a lengthy report on the controversy, Arthur S.

Meyer, public member, and Gilbert E. Fuller, industry member, concurred in a recommendation that the board exercise its power to terminate the strike to the end that the conditions prevailing on July 31, 1942, be restored." Max Zaritsky, labor member, filed a dissenting opinion. James.B. Petrillo, head of the musicians union, has demanded that employers pay a fee to a union employment fund for each record and transcription made, contending that their manufacture creates unemployment among the musicians. The Decca company and a number of transcription companies entered into such an agreement with the union but Columbia, Victor and the National Broadcasting company have refused to do so.

Increases In Postage Rates Start March 26 Increases in postage rates and fees for money orders, registered mail and COD mail which were instituted by the Revenue Act of 1944, passed by Congress Feb. 25, will become effective March 26, Nat Shick, postmaster, has been informed by the postmaster general.

The rate of six cents for each half-ounce or fraction of half-ounce will continue to apply on air mail to and from personnel of the armed forces overseas, served by Army and Navy postoffices.

Reminder was given by Shick of the charges by half-ounce on mail to servicemen. On other airmail, charges are determined by ounce weights. The increase from six to eight cents on other airmail applies to all airmail from one postoffice to another in the United States, including Alaska, and between one postpffice and another in the Hawaiian Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and between those territories and Puerto Rico. -Airmail rates to and from the United States and its possessions and between the possessions is unchanged.

Government is doing it. Forward-looking communities are doing it. In all these plans, however, we must constantly bear one thing in mind. Who's going to make them wor and keep them working? Who but the boys and girls that are growing up today? To make a plan for the future without them is like trying to build a watch without a mainspring. It may look pretty but it won't work.

Big Spring has made a beginning of planning with and for youth. For example, this week marks the thirty-second anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouting in this country and it will be celebrated by 260 girls in Big Spring who are learning in their Girl Scout troops to be more intelligent citizens. This looks very encouraging. It Is Mrs. Warren N.

Edson, our Girl Scout commissioner, explains that there are on the Scouts' waiting lists 100 girls hn want to join hut can't be- not enough men have cooperated with the council to find meeting places. Our great youth organizations, the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, are open in theory to all children. Actually they are open to those children for whom leaders, sponsors, and meeting places can be found. In these free voluntary movements we have the best sort of opportunity to train self-restraint, democratic citizens. If we fail to offer them our help and support we leave the way wide open for delinquency, irresponsibility, perhaps even a regimented compulsory youth movement.

It has been said many times that democracy must prove itself superior as a way of life or we shall lose the peace ever while we win the war. Here is a concrete example. Here are 100 girls asking to join an organization that trains for citizenship and service. The Herald believes that the and women of BiR Spring in their church groups and civic will find leaders Agent Tells How Growing Tomatoes Can Be Success Means of producing tomatoes for early summer use and of using the same vines for a fall crop were outlined by O. P.

Griffin, county agent. Hot winds of June and hot dry weather of July and early August are the worst drawbacks to tomato production in West Texas, said the county agent. "If tomatoes are planted on land that did not have tomatoes on it last year, the vines grow remarkably well," he said. "They will shed their blooms and refuse to set fruit in hot weather even though- they are watered plentifully." Three varieties have been found that will set fruit in hot weather, he said. They are Bounty, Bison and Porter.

Bounty and Bison are larggr tomatoes than Porter. "You should buy your ioniato seed now and plant them in a hot bed if you have one," he "The plants can be raised in an old tub, which can be brought in the house on cold nights. "The plants should be set from the hot bed or tub in rows six or eight inches apart and allowed to grow there until they are six or eight inches high. Then transplant them again into the garden with three feet or more space. In transplanting the second time, put them deep into the ground.

"By following this method, plenty of early summer tomatoes can be raised and the same vines will produce a fall crop," he concluded. and places for Forsan Infant Is Victim Of Death Dona Louise Martin, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
