He said the first responsibility of

useless or futile for inland cities

The second responsibility is organization to aid the flow of contributions from persons and groups

Dr. Beer's third main point emphasized that the community has
the responsibility of "deepening its

identity as a local grouping, and
of strengthening its social services.

Twelve Air. Raid Wardens have
been provided for the buildings and
other property of the Experiment
station under Mr. Brewer's supervision, and thirty such posts have
been set up on the University campus under the management of Mr.

Farris.
Warden Farris said a common
misconception among most people
was that in event of an Air Raid,
the city could be blacked out by
merely turning a switch at the
electric plant downtown.
This idea, Mr. tarris stated, is
fallacious. If the city was blacked
out in such a manner many vital
and necessary services would be
disrupted.
In event of an air raid or practice blackout. Warden Farris declared every student should listen
to the radio for the announcement
and warning signal and to the sirens installed throughout the city.
It will be the duty of each person to see that all the lights in
his or her room are extinguished.
If a building on the campus is
damaged during an air raid, the
information would be phoned in to
Mr. Farris or Mr. Brewer, who
would in turn inform the City Fire
department, and the City Hospital
if necessary, and also relay the information to the Central Civilian
Defense Office downtown.

The Stoic Sentinel
As we hurry along preparing ourselves and our country
for the struggle that lies ahead, we have little time to think
about such minor things as a sun dial. Our thoughts are occupied with guns, tanks, and ships. Many of us are worried
about friends or relatives in the service or other problems of
the day.
War brings changes to just about everything, so when
something is found that remains unchanged, it is worth
writing about. Some such thing has been found on our
campus... a sun dial. This antiquated timepeace stands in
the sunken garden in front of McVey halL
In this ancient instrument we see more than a block of
cement that daily counts the hours. We see what we are
fighting for... the right to go on as we have in the past.
The sun dial has weathered sleet, rain, wind and sun . . . yet,
it stands. . .unmarred. We, too. can staunchly stand against
anything which tries to blast our way of life. . .then, as the

We cannot win this war by money alone. Buying defense
bonds will help, but more than that is demanded of us. Many
men must die before the price is paid in full. We must be
willing to pay that price.
Blood, sweat, and tears will be of no avail unless we preserve in our determination to carry on this struggle, no matter
what the cost may be, until Victory is ours.
Now you know what the war will cost. Yes, the price is

This month the Columbia company gives us a neat little item
listed as a Concerto in F for Piano
and Orchestra. It's in the conventional three movements and was
first played by the New York Philharmonic a little less than twenty
years ago. It's what Is called
symphonic in character. Now, if
somebody will call those
jazz
hounds back who just slipped out
the back door and truss "em up
till we get through, well go on.
This particular concerto happens
to have been written by one of our
boys, George Gershwin, who is also
known for some fairly decent jazz
tunes; and if anybody starts the
old argument about "symphonic
jazz", we're going to hide behind
Mr. Jackson's beard.

The Concerto in F is "Rhapsody
in Blue" on a larger scale more
f
beautiful, we think, and certainly
more arttetically handled.
It is
played in this instance by Oscar
Levant accompanied by the New
York Philharmonic under, (honest),
Andre Kostelanete. But we're muttering into where our beards would
be, if we had them, that we still
like Sanroma's treatment, with the
Boston "Pops".
