Suggests Music Training for Mayors, Merchants Elkhart, Ind.—Music as part of tha equipment of mayors, councilmen and other city officials is foreseen by tha Conn Music Center here, which states that municipalities would receive more efficient service if the backeground of local officers were filled with music and art. - : “City officials, business men and civic leaders need to carry masical training into their every-day aftalrs to make things 80 more smoothly and« efficiently,” says Alice Rodgers, direc. tor of public school music at Santa Monica, Calif. “More harmony would prevail and more progress be made in civic gatherings of all kinds if those attending them listened to goed musie and appreciated it. Church and Sune day school meetings would gain by having people who could participate in and understand music. “The city official, the business man, the civic leader, the preacher and the people who make up civic and church meetings, however, should have this musical training in youth, if they are to make the best use of it in later { life.” ; <

What Schwab Says. - .. "And that this is not merely a no« tion of mine, can be seen from the manner in which America’s foremost industrial leaders view this problem, Charles M. Schwab, in discussing th 4 fmportance of musie in industry, re« cently said: ‘One of the first questions we ask when we take over a new; plant is, *How ean we manage to provide some good music and health recreation for our inp: vees?” ‘;u; have iound that tir- giiiig of noonday concerts ard siigs for our workers greatly fnicreaic. thei- interest llj the company and !: thoir work.

What Mr. Schwab has found isi true of great industrial plants, I have found is true of communities, o “A well-organized musical organization, whose members have a conscious-} ness of the part their organization should take in ¢ community, 18 & greater asset to any people than a bargain-counter store, a mushroom, plant or any one of the many things which most communities. try hardest to secure and boast most about when they have them.” : i

Sen. Copeland Urges Music as Health Aid

The real' secret is that most musicians are happy in their work. “The rhythm and pleasurable emotions exc'ted by inspirirs music have their effect upon health,” he explains, “They lecd to increaz~d action of the heart and deeper breathing, and so improve the health and vigor of the individual, But it is tle general sense of well-being and thc cujoyment that the man gets from his-own music that does the most for hi:), physically and spiritually. The purpose of exercise is to stimulate the licart, but pleasurable sens:tions will accomplish exactly the same result. : “The rcason that ore person who leads whct is called a ‘sedentary life’ is well and vigorous while another is depressed and alwayson the threshold of the hospital is because the first man is happy in his work: He gets the stimulation out of it that is necessary to keep Lis heart functioning, and in consequerce, his physical self in good condition. The other chap is ‘sick’ and miserable because he gets no such ‘exercise’ out of enjoying hisework,”

D O YOU recall the time, just a few years ago, when the only electrical service available was electric lights —-and it was a novelty? There are sixty-eight and a half million people in the United States living in electrically wired homes; thirty million electric horse power serving American industry; three million investors owning the companies furnishin : electric power, heat and ight. 3 The rapidity of this expansion, and the universal benefit it has conferred, have been due primarily to the courage, initiative and prophetic wvision which have inspired the operations of the country's E;ht and pPower companies.

Says William Green, President American Federation of Labor “With a business sagacity which challenges our admiration, the leaders of the electrical industry adopt and put into force each new invention and discovery as soon as it is perfected and ready tor the market. And I am certain no other industry is devoting so much time, money and effort to the successful expansion of its service and production.”* - - :

‘Under the sound business administration of these companies, the cost of domestic current has been redneed since 1914 while the cost of living has go e up 68¢.. - In the hands of these companies the public is assured a continuous expansion of > electrical service to meetthe needs of our national development-and at de - creasing rates as more current is us-d. 5 You who have helped to build the electrical age, and who have profited from it in comfort, convenience and happiness, can safeguard its future growth by continued support of the American principle of individual Initiative. i
