THE POWER for good contained in personal confidence is too big to calculate. How many times have you known insolvent business firms to rise above ruin, and fight their way to prosperity because a banker believed in somebody? More than oner I have seen “defeated” ball teams build victory from nothing anybody could see but the hopeful grin of a respected coach. Nowhere in mortal experience is the power of personal trust so obvious as in a hospital. Patients get better when the doctbr comes. Pain seems to lose its edge, fever actually subsides, confusion gives place to calm when the physician enters. It is a positive curative, a definite part of physical treatment. It is a thing too useful arid effective to be lightly discarded. Political THERE is a concertQuackery ed movement on foot : in political circles to break up this relationship between doctor and patient. It is spoken of as "instituting socialized medicine.” By no means have all the details of the plan been worked out, but the early steps | have been charted. It adds up to : putting all doctors on the government’s pay-roll and assigning them their patients. To Mr. Average Citizen it [ means that he can’t choose his i physician. If he gets sick or a I member of his family encounters ; accident or ill health, he must complain to a bureau and accept ! the doctor picked by the bureauBeverly Wunder, Donald Bledsoe, Suanne Crumley. The Business Education Club will present an appropriate award to the basketball player who makes the highest percent of foul attempts in regularly scheduled games and tourney play during the 1944-1945 season, beginning with the Brownsburg game of November 29, 1944. , The Speedway basketball team will play Manual High School tonight at the local gym. The School Board has purchased a new Kimball baby grand piano which has been placed on the stage in the high, school building.

“Messiah” To Be Presented by Symphony Dec. 10

Fabien Sevitzky and the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra will present Handel’s “Messiah,” for the season’s second Municipal concert in Cadle Tabernacle at Bp. m. Wednesday, Dec. 20. Assisting the, orchestra will be four soloists—Maria Koussevitzky, soprano and Edna Merritt, contralto, both of whom sang the same roles in last year’s presentation of the Messiah, and William Hain,, tenor and John MacDonald, baritone—plus a combined chorus of 300 voices including the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, the Choral Section of tlft Indianapolis Matinee Musicale and the Indianapolis Maennorchor of the Athenaeum Turners. Directors of the three choral groups are respectively, Elmer Steffen, K. S. G., Charles Hedley and Clarence Elbert. The Messiah, traditional Christ-mas-time music, contains four recitativels (two accompanied by piano), and three arias for soprano; two recitatives (both accompanied by piano) and three arias for contralto, with an aria in which the chorus joins the contralto; five recitatives (one accompanied by piano) and four arias for tenor and three recitatives and three arias for bassbaritone. The chorus sings sixteen parts accompanied by orchestra - among which the Hallelujah chorus is the most famous. There is one purely orchestral part, the Pastorale. At no place in the score do two of the solo voices blend, and with the exception of the recitatives which are accompanied by piano, all singing is accompanied by the orchestra. Tickets for the Messiah are obtainable either at the orchestra’s [ offices in the Murat or in the record department of H. P. Wasson & Company, the Monument Place store.
