League To Discuss Annual Warrant

The Andover League of Women Voters will hold its annual Town Warrant meeting on Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock in the Music Room of the Junior High school.

Several speakers will partici-pate in the discussion of the Town Warrant. John Erving, who was appointed as a member of the committee to investigate possible sites for a new town house, will discuss the various articles in the warrant pertaining to that matter, and he will also discuss the school budget, from the standpoint of a school committee member.

Sidney P. White, representing the Board of Public Works, will be present to analyze the articles sponsored by that board and to answer questions.

Mrs. Angus of the School Com-mittee will speak on the North school situation, and Mrs. A. Gra-ham Baldwin will discuss Public Welfare as it relates to Andover expenditures.

Members are asked to keep in mind the change of meeting place.

Library Circulation Hits New Peak

Though February is the shortest month of the year, and the library was open only twenty-three days, it had the largest use in its history. The Memorial Hall issued 9739 books, and at Ballardvale 874 were borrowed, making a total circula-tion for home use of 10613 vol-umes. This is an increase of 1689 over February of 1938, and is the first time the monthly use has ex-ceeded ten thousand books. The average daily circulation was 401, but on February 23, the Memorial Hall issued exactly 600 books.

DR. PFATTEICHER TO CONTINUE SERIES

On Sunday afternoon at 4:15 Dr. Carl F. Pfatteicher, Director of Mu-sic at Phillips Academy, 'will con-tinue his series of recitals of the organ works of John Sebastian Bach with the following program: Prelude and Fugue in G minor; Two 'Choral Preludes: 0 Lamm Gottes unschuldig, Erbarme dich mein; Passacaglia in C minor.

Dr. Fuess' New Book On Stands Saturday

"Creed of a Schoolmaster" by Dr. Claude M. Fuess, headmaster of Phillips Academy, will be avail-able at book stores and stands, Saturday, March 4. Author of "Daniel Webster" and "Amherst: The Story of a New England Col-lege," Dr. Fuess has also written for magazine publication three boys' stories and four biographies. At present he is working on the life of Calvin Coolidge and upon its completion, plans to take the in-itiatory steps toward the writing of other biographies of contemp-orary American statesmen. To put It in his own words, "My chief in-terest at the •present time is in American political biography, in which field I have a sufficient num-ber of projects to occupy forty men half a century."

The papers in the volume "Creed of a Schoolmaster" are contribu-tions to a major philosophy which is not yet rounded out.

To Do Clean Job On Next Snowstorm

For the first two months of 1939 the Board of Public Works spent on snow removal and sanding over $7,000 less than for the same period a year ago. Through February 27 $4383.18 had been spent, whereas a year ago $11,684.76 had been spent.

It is understood that the board has decided to do a number one job on the next snowstorm, a much cleaner job than the last, but yet without the waste that has brought expenditures to such a high level in past years.

Motion Picture At S. And C. Meeting

The new sound motion picture, "Highlights and 'Shadows" drama-tizing the story of photography, will be shown at the Square and Compass Club meeting this even-ing. It traces the steps man has taken to transmit his ideas through pictures, making photography perfected and popular. Brilliant camera work and clear comment are combined to show further the research and manufacturing facili-ties that contributed to this achievement.

"Highlights and Shadows" uses the photographic industry to show the effect physical sciences and modern machinery have on life today, how photography has be-come a vital method of communi-cation and educatdon.

Harvard, Bates Boys In Keen Debate

Two very earnest young men from Harvard and two equally earnest young men from Bates en-deavored to solve for the local Service club last Thursday night the problems of whether the feder-al government should attempt to stimulate business by pump-prim-ing and deficit spending. The Har-vard boys tried to uphold the policy of their illustrious alumnus who now is in the White House or cruising somewhere, while the boys from down in Maine—well, you know Maine.

Disregarding certain prejudices built up since 1933, the Bates boys presented a very substantial early argument, but fell down in the cross-examination period when Harvard's very able young lawyer asked what the Bates student would do with the 12,000,000 unem-ployed if pump-priming were to be halted. And then Harvard's first debater also fell down when Maine's pompously legalistic law-yer asked why there were still 12,000,000 unemployed after six years of pump-priming.

The Harvard boys found them-selves slightly embarrassed on several occasions when the Bates lawyer asked them if they agreed with a certain quoted statement. which turned out to be something that the President said back in 1933 when he advocated relieving unemployment on the basis of need out of funds in the treasury rather than by deficit spending. All the boys from Cambridge could reply was that even the President can change his mind.

The Bates student who started the debate spoke of politics and wastefulness in relief and the fact that recovery started in all Europe and progressed faster than in the United States except in France where deficit spending is being tried. He alleged that the reces-sion of a year ago followed the year of heaviest spending, and that as soon as the P.W.A. started in late 1933 the production index started dropping. He maintained that cessation of pump priming. while not perfect, was a step in the right direction, since it (1) would restore businessmen's con-fidence in the government; (9) de-crease the deficit and eliminate fear of excessive taxes; (3) pro-mote freer investment in capital goods; (4) reinforce private in-vestment by the use of money now going into government bonds.

The Harvard debater went into economic theory in his argument, claiming that this depression had not seen the old economic laws followed automatically as in oast depressions, with prices not droo-ping in proportion to national in-come. The only desirable solution, he said, was to stimulate hu,iness by raising the national income, and the only way to do this 1,; by defi-cit financing, the 'deficits being paid off eventually by the addition of new revenue.

Many Present At League Musical

The musical program. given for the benefit of the Anover League of Women Voters, at Mrs. Poyn-ter's home on the morning of February 23, was a great success from a musical, social and finan-cial standpoint.

Coffee and doughnuts were en-joyed by those present, prior to the delightful program for which the League is much indebted to Mrs. Roger Higgins.

Andover is fortunate in having

a group of amateur musicians who could present so enjoyable a pro-gram. Miss Susan Ripley's per-formance, both as a soloist and accompanist, was especially out-standing.

Hill-billy Elections

You have a job to do Monday, and all it will require is a few minutes anytime between seven in the morning and seven at night.

No, it doesn't take you much time to vote, but it should take you a good deal of time before you vote. There are contests in four offices, all important ones; your vote may mean a lot.

When you mark those crosses on the ballot on Monday, what is it that influences your choice? Last November the United State, had some queer elections, with hill-billy bands and other such ra-tional vote-getters evidently carry-ing much weight with some people. We laugh at it up here, but don't we often do the same thing on a smaller scale? True we don't vote for people because they can yodel a nice mountain tune, but aren't we doing practically the same thing when we vote for or against. a man for any one of the following reasons heard often here in An-dover: "he'll dig up all the dirt in that board," or "he'll make them sit up and take notice," or "so-and-so is in favor of him, I won't vote for him," or "if so-and-so thinks he's all right, I'll vote for him," or "he's been in a long time, why not give someone else a chance," or "he's been in a long time, let's keep him in."

What we're trying to put across is this: that you should choose your candidates on the basis of their ability to fill the position. It doesn't matter who is for or against him; it doesn't matter how long he's been in, or if he's never been in; what does matter is how he will act if he gets in or stays in. On present office-holders the decision is easy, for you've seen them In action. For potential office-holders it's harder, but still the conduct of their own private and business life will give a good idea of how they will act in public life. Ask yourself these questions: Is he clear-headed and common-sen-sible, is he willing to view both sides without bias, can he take criticism without being indignant to feel that anyone should criti-cize him and instead act on the merits alone of the criticism, will he think only of the town in form-ing his decisions?

If everybody will act on the con-tests with these points in mind, the town of Andover should be congratulated next Monday even-ing for the fine group of officers it has elected.

LEGION NOTES A get-together membership meet-

ing in celebration of the 20th anni-versary of the American Legion will be held at the rooms at 8:00 this evening. Dr. Hall, Commander of district 10, and Department Vice-Commander Chester Grant will he the guest speakers. A spaghetti and meat ball .supper will follow the meeting. Any veteran in the town is invited.

All candidates are asked to at-tend town meeting night, Friday evening at the Legion rooms, at which time there will be a discus-sion of the town warrant.

Hymn Festival Coming March 12

On Sunday afternoon March 12, at 4:30 o'clock a Festival of Hymn Singing will be held in the Coch-ran church at Phillips Academy. This is the second time that the choirs of many churches in An-dover, Lawrence, Methuen, Haver-hill and Lowell have been invited to come together for the singing of some of the great hymns of the church. Among the groups that have participated have been the Phillips Academy Choir, the Ab-bot Academy Choir, the Andover Male Choir, and the church choirs of the Baptist, Methodist, Episco-pal, Congregational and other churches of this general vicinity.

Rehearsals will be held dor this occasion on Friday evening, March 3, at 8 o'clock in the Cochran church at Phillips Academy, and Sunday afternoon, March 5, at 2:15 in the Central Methodist Epis-copal church in Lawrence. These rehearsals are open to all choirs and all individuals who are inter-ested in participating in this Hymn Festival.

At this service last year approxi-mately twelve hundred people were present to join in the sing-ing of such hymns as "A Mighty Fortress is our God," "Our God Our Help in Ages Past," "How Firm a Foundation," rind other familiar hymns of the church. It is anticipated that the service this year will be equally impressive.

WARRANT DISCUSSION A general discussion of the town

warrant will be held at the open meeting of the Young Men's Re-publican Club tonight. Refresh-ments will be served after the busine4s meeting.

Choir Enthusiastically Received In Broadcast

Telegrams and messages from various clubs and individuals praised the program given by the Male Choir last Saturday evening over station WNAC. Sponsored by the New England Federation of Men's Glee Clubs, the half hour of singing with George Wa'ton of

A. B.

North Andover playing a clarinet solo was broadcast over seventeen affiliated stations of the Yankee network.

The comments and congratula- tory telegrams resulting from the program show how widely the choir's ability is recognized outside of Andover, and it is expected that the town itself will prove its ap-preciation and good wishes by at-tending the performance of "Moon

5

light Sonata" at the Playhouse next Wednesday. Part of the pro-ceeds from the ticket sales will be contributed to the financing of the trip to New Haven where the choir will compete in the annual New England contest in May.

Last Sunday night the choir sang at the United First Baptist church in Lowell.

Communication SAFETY FIRST

This year the committee ap-pointed for the Co-ordination of I;i.rreation has asked for an appro-priation of $500. The committee feels that the summer activities of the town are very well taken care of but the sad experiences of some of the past winters still linger in our minds. Only recently has it been brought. to cur attention the dangers that exist where proper protection is not provided for areas where children love to skate and slide. Surely the few pennies involved in the tax rate where only $500 is asked for would not alarm or cause any parent to feel it an added burden. indeed there are very few cities and towns but what provide a safe skating or sliding area for their children. We feel that a start could be made next winter and as soon as parents are relieved of the anxiety concerning their children while enjoying win-ter sports, it would not he long be-fore our citizens would want and demand that we bring this part of winter activity up to at least the standard of our surrounding neighbors.

W. P. A. Orchestra Well Received

The Public School Teachers' As-sociation merits the appreciation of all Andover music lovers for sponsoring the State Symphony concert at the Memorial Anditori-um last Thursday night. Appropri-ately choosing a New England Rhapsody by Robert Manton for the first selection, Alexander Thiele had the orchestra playing so softly that it was hard to believe that there were sixty-five members present. The rambling composition suggested the Robert Frost inter-pretation of New England, peace-ful and rich in inspiration.

Mr. Wolfson's violin solo in Men- delssohn's Concerto in Minor received a tremendous acclamation, and Debussy's Reverie, even more familiar since its "swing-time" adaptation, was encored by the Blue Danube Waltz, by Strauss. The peak of the program wa; reached in Brahms' Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, a welcome contrast to the lighter selection which pre-ceded.

A French-man by birth, Maurois became at-tached to British Headquarters during the war as a liaison officer, and his notes taken of the things he heard and saw during that time developed into the humorous "The Silences of Col. Bramble." His pas-sionate love for England and Eng-lish democracy colored the success-ful books that followed (Ariel, Life of Shelley, Disraeli and The Miracle of England) and he be-came noted for his interpretations of that country.

THE , ANDOVER TOWNSMAN

MARCH 2, 1939

"Moonlight Sonata",

Next Wednesday The Andover Male Choir and its

Auxiliary have completed plans for the benefit show to be held at the Andover Playhouse on March 8. They have sold many advance tic-kets and manager Samuel Resnik has reported many requests for these special tickets which are al-so on sale at the box office.

The picture "Moonlight Sonata" will bring to Andover the long awaited first and only screen ap-pearance of the world's greatest pianist, Ignace Jan Paderewski, who is soon going into retirement. Those who miss the opportunity to see it will perhaps regret it the rest of their lives and many who have already seen it are planning to see it again. The supporting cast includes Marie Tempest, Charles Farrell, Barbara Greene and Eric Portman.

Showing on the same bill are Jack Oakie and Ruth Donnelly in "Annabel Takes a Tour" and Walt Disney's "Mother Goose Revue." The latter is being shown by special request having been shown recently in Boston.

Members of the Choir and Auxi-liary have worked hard for the suc-cess of the event, and since many heard Paderewski play "Moonlight Sonata" on the radio last Sunday it is hoped no one will want to miss his picture.

Mrs. Herbert Merrick is chair-man of the special benefit show. Mrs. Roger Peabody has charge of the tickets and Mrs. Carl A. Wet-terberg is publicity chairman.

Valley Tourney To Open Tonight

With an eye on one of the cups donated by the merchants of the town of Andover through Harry Hyland, the Johnson team oppos-ing Essex Aggies will do their best to equal their success of past years in the opening game of the third annual Merrimack Valley Inter-scholastic Basketball Tournament tonight at 7:00 o'clock. Since it is necessary for a team to win a place for three consecutive years before the prize can be kept, no team is eligible for the permanent possession of one of the cups this year.

The first contest in the series was won by Johnson, with Howe in Billerica placing second and Pun-chard winning the consolation prize, and last year Methuen was first, and Punchard and Johnson won second and third places. The actual scores at the close of the matoh last year would have de-termined Punchard as the winner, but an ineligible man had been al-lowed to play so Punchard for-feited her place to Methuen. If the playing is comparable to past years, there will be a great rivalry be-tween Punchard and Johnson since both teams have scored first place in alternate years.

Methuen and Johnson will be lined up against each other in the second game of this year's tourna-ment, and Punchard will follow, playing against Central Catholic. Whether the final games will be played Friday afternoon or even-ing will depend on the outcome of the first contests.
