Miss
Lineback and
(Continued from Page One)
proclaim tha? value when we vote
(or continuance and tign notes to
finance It. The purpose of this is
to point out that when a member
of the association votes for con
tinuance and signs a note to in
sure it, he has not fulfilled his
obligation ' to the Horn. On the
contrary, he has created and solidi
fied an obligation to it!
It's too late to change the pattern
this year, however, it is not too
late to spend an evening at the
Horn . . . or send your employees
to seejt. It is worth seeing again,
if yoiPhaven't seen this season's
version of it. In the event you may
be one of those who wait for
"Free Night" to see it, why not
break down this year and buy a
ticket. There wUI not be a free
night this seasnr, anyway. That's
the decision of the board. It is al
so the decision of the board to
state as clearly as possible the
position of the Horn as we go into
the fin? few days of this season.
Attendance is. some better this
year. Expenses have been curtail
ed as much as possible. Despite
the combination of these two fav
orable factors, nothing less than a
miracle could spare the note sign
ers. We believe its signers are too
practical to look for^-p last week
miracle.
We would suggest just two
things in regard to the Horn. First,
that we search our own standards
where jt is concerned. If it has
value It merits our financial sup
port. If it has our financial sup
port, we have, in giving it, com
mitted ourselves to a mortl sup
port of it that Is entitled to our
best effort and to as much of our
time as we can give.
These things should have our
earnest consideration before an
other time of decision confronts
us. We should form some convic
tions, and stand by them, even at
the cost of personal inconveni
ence. It is our guess that when
and if the Horn is favored with a
miracle, it will be born in the
midst of a unified and unselfish
effort.
