MAROON AND GOLD SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1942 JOLTS AND JAKS By John ■ Victory’ I’ollard Franklv, we’re rather dubious alxmi writin;? this ooluinn, not that i"ir s*H,'ret is out—but we’ll try it ihis tiirif, just for the “in- cliis" ill it—(note to non-journa lists. The .lournalisni students liavc lo produce a certain amount of material each «;rnester). However, even if you do dis cover our secret, we hoiH) .you won’t stop dropjiinq: around to back patre every now and then . . . We'll try lo see to it that you don’t g»;t like the little boy who said, “Hut mama. I’m not hunfjry, 1 ate all the raisins off the fly pa- ;x'r.” However if you do stop read ing the back pajre then we’ll b‘ out of a jo^—as it is we like oui job . . . work ei^ht hours. . ..sleep eight hours.. .

And now for the news Aj-lie Shaw has disbandod his ork and entered a New York hos pital. ile’s laid up with a bad throat condition and may not be able to play or work for six or eight weeks. 'rii(‘ ‘il(“tronome All-Star Band’ recently made two recordings, “Koyai Flush” and “1 Got liliy- thm ’ . . . the royalties from these records go to the Red Cross and to a fund to aid unemployed mu sicians.

Half the PROGRAM PREMIERE “They Live Forever,” a new series on the (H^S network de signed lo stimulate Victory-think ing in this country taki« to the air Sunday, February 8. (10 :;50 to 11 :()() P.M., F:ST). This is ('olumbia’s first series designol to show America on the offensive. Not a defense show, it is, rather, a testimonial from the American peo))le to their heroic dead. It is a promise that the murders at Pearl Harbor, the deaths at Manila and other scx'iies of action will not only bf; remem- l>ered, but avenged! It is a crys tallization, in stirring dramatic form, of the thoughts and feelings and actions of a hundred and thirty-two million Americans at war. In no sense is it fictionalized. It names jxH)ple, places, actual events. 7t tells why and for what the American peo^de are fighting today. A prt^am »if actual happen ings, “ I’hey Live Forever” pre sents first haTid facts concerning the men who liave already given their blood and lives in tcxlay’s fight for frw-dom. In addition, it shows what the American people are doing—now —to repav the debt we owe the Axis T»o\vers with the compound int(Test President Roosevelt pro mised. ODDITIES Fred Allen, who toured all over Australia in the halcyon days of vaudeville, commented recently on thx“ fiict that every time that coun try won the 1 )avis Tennis Cup, a World War followed, it’s just an oddity that in 1514 and in 1939 this occurred. However, Fred adds, tljere are plenty of other curiosities he dug up while travel ing ■“down under.” In Australia, F'red says, there are more than 50 different kinds of kangaroos, in cluding some that climb trees. In fact, the “blue fl.yer” is a kanga roo that can make forty miles an hour and travels in herds much biggej than the famous thunder- Westcrn I’lains. A herd of these lug herds of our buffalo of the kangaroos, F’red comments, would niidce New York’s Times Square traffic seem like a deserted vil lage. Xbere are earthworms in Australia that measure some six feet in length. And there is a 400-pouud fish there that drowns if kept under water too long. F’or a topjjer, there is a marsupial “teddy-bear" which lives on about 50 different kinds of eucalyptus ktaves, never drinks water, catches colds, and is protected from shiyr ment out of Australia by a nation al law.

There are al ways young and hitherto unknown musicians around just waiting for a chance to show their talents. Youth is creative, so since youth will dominate the musical picture for the duration (at least), one might well exptMjt new trends and styles in popuar music. Right now the public is clamoring for a breakdown of complicated, un musical compositions in favor of simple unexciting, melodic tunes which ease conflict, not cause it. As soon as this movement really takes' hold the greater simplicit y shoud more than counter-balance the loss of old-time musicians, and bands should sound as well as or better than they do at the present time. while the wife prepares a mid night snack. He then goes to the Jvitehen and eats, and after eating he rests in the bed room. A half hour passes and he returns to the bandstand to play the remainder of the dance. When he r(rturns to his collaps ible music case he has two alter natives. First, he can sleep there for the night, or second, he can pack his horn, drive his car from the garage, fold the case, put it, *he maid and wife in the back seat of the car, and drive home. There are a few small details still incomplete, but I’m sure that with proper financial backing those small details can be cleared up and we’ll sell a million cases.

Of the millions o:^ men subject to military service, the lowly musician is steadily being transferred from his horn-blown “Stairway to the Stars” to his honie-grows “Star SpangWd Ban- ner.” In any branch of the service it is not uncommon to find the Sibert Rowlois and Oscar Bruhenshys (formerly with Dunk Tunksfort’s West than to the South 1 orchestra) doing their bit for L u cie Sam. Being ideal soldier ma terial, musicians are swelling the ranks of our armed forces. lieu I say musicians are ideal, 1 refer to tiie average, not the storv-lHiok or movie version of st>me drunken of quack who has one foot in the grave at twentv-five. ('ontrai-y to i>opular Ixdief, musicians as a rule are young, able-bodied, men tally alert, single, and possessors of a coordination lietween mind and body far sup‘rior to the genc“ ral level of the populace. The transfer of this skill is apparent in aviation where musicians ar" proving to be worthy pilots and technicians.

This week’s inyention: A tail wagger for tired dogs. See you all around—maybe. Other than the flood of patrio tic tunes that every war brings on, the character of music will see little change while simplicity and style should be the keynotes. Ail in all, the public will get music which is easy to listen to and in which they therefore should find more satisfaction. Inventor Seeks Financial Partner Brilliant inventor seeks finan cial partner to back collapsible music, case. This case offers many advan tages not found in present models. W^hen folded, this case is no lar ger than an ordinary piccolo bag, but when expanded, you find all the advantages musicians have al ways sought but never found. in the first place, it is divided into four sections. The first sec tion is a small living room (10.\ 12), the second a kitchen (10x12) third, a bed room (10x12), and fourth, a garage. Now allow me lo describe how advantageous this new case will be to the musician at work. To start from the beginning, the musician will put his horn in the collapsible, music case, pack his case, mail, and wife in his auto and drive to the dance. Upon reaching his destination, the mu sician stops, unfolds the case, ax' takes out his horn. Now he ii... expanded the case. It is a simple matter to park his car in compart ment four, the garage. Then he proceeds to the bed room where h dresses in his uniform. Capering off to the job, he continues bv blowing his brains out by the roots for a couple hours whije he prays for intermission to hurry. Finallv it comes, so the musician return^ to the collapsible music case and enters the living room.
