What, No Smorgasbor SEN. ELMER THOMAS of Oklahoma, who heads a group of Senators touring Europe to study Marshall Plan operations, says the committee has visited one country which. won't get another cent of our money, if he can help it, It “ignored us completely,” the Senator said on his arrival in Vienna, He refused to name the country, but a colleague did. It was Sweden, : Since the Senator saw fit to express his indignation in public, it would have been helpful if he had been more specific in his complaint. § We trust his peeve is based on something more substan. tial than the failure of the Swedes to come across with a banquet or a cocktail party. The Swedes are a frugal lot and may not be aware of the manner in which our Senators are accustomed to being entertained. Of course, it is something else again if the committee was denied any pertinent

But - there have been no Marshall Plan allocations for entertainment purposes, so far as we know, and a big spread for visit. ing Congressmen might be accepted as evidence that a country did not need our money.

WHEN SKIES ARE GREY

Wien you're feelin’ sad and blus : And the sun has ceased to shine, Then a real hello it's true Helps to make all things look fine.

All at once your heartaches end For your world seems very bright, All because you've still a friend Who can fill your path with light,

Making life mean more to you When all your skies seemed grey. : ~BOB MBYELL, New Castle, Ind. ®

MOTHER'S LOVE

Words ean tell of the depth of love We hold for one another, But words can never half express The-love of our dear Mother.

A poem may tell of love's young glow A flower may be a token, . But Mother's love lies deep inside + And seldom’s ever spoken.

OUR TOWN . . ..By Anton Scherrer Friis Symbolism Stopped Paderewski

& y In a ‘Dim Religious Light I SAW Paderewskl again that night at English’s, On that occasion, the stage was one of the strangest sights I ever saw. It looked more like the sanetuary of a church than the

The floor was strewn with Oriental rugs (loaned by Albert Gall's carpet house, somebody said). and, instead of framing the stage with the kind of stock scenery used for lectures and the like, somebody had thought up a decor of “drops” of pale cerulean blue. An arty woman sitting next to me, and apparently more alert than the rest of us, opined that It was a scene

1 .steeped in symbolism.

After what seemed like an interminable wait ~~possibly to Jet the symbolism soak in--Paderewski made his appearance. This time he wore nothing more than a bolled shirt, a

No Bnbbles, Many Encores WELL, AFTER the stage hands got all the symbolism shoveled out of the way (the rolling up of Mr. Gall's rugs took all of 20 minutes), Paderewski returned to his task and this time he looked as if he felt a whole lot better—at any rate, he looked relieved, He took up the Beethoven sonata where he had left off and went through the entire program without a

After the concert, and Heaven knows how many encores, a lot of his customers-—mostly women~hurried to the Bates House to watch Paderewski consume his midnight meal. The crowd was so dense that the latecomers had to use opera glasses. I can’t recall whether Sarah 8. Pratt of Logansport was in the crowd that night or not. However, I distinctly remember that a week or so later Mrs. Pratt submitted a dithyrambic ode which completely captured the hysteria of the women that night, “She called her poem “The Women of America to Paderewski,” the first stanza of which (if I remember correctly) went something like this: “Oh, thou bright haired Cynosure, Very true it is that you're a Living magnet, we a needle How you fascinate and wheedle Those pour souls of ours, . ..” There were several more stanzas, every gone of which was a humdinger, Well, that's all I can remember of Paderewski's first visit to Indianapolis, except that he cleaned up $2000 “tnet). No wonder: First floor seats sold for $3; balcony, $2; gallery, $1.50. Up until then, no pianist bad ever commanded such fabulous prices. Indeed, - until Paderewski turned up,
