‘MarchinMusicTuesday, Sepf. 23,1%5THE LIMA STAR9Bjr TERRI LEFFLER Of TIm StarWAPAKONETA - Probably John Tattershall, 806 N. Circle Dr., is right and nobody else in Wapakoneta owns a bagpipe. He claims the Dutch aren't fondof the wind instrument and there’s a dearth of Scotch and Irish in the vicinity.John and his wife, the former Jean Gocke of Wapakoneta, beets ne interested in learning to play the bagpipe while livingWithlor the past five years in Newi York where Scotch and Irish | abound. 1Although M r s. Tattershall1 hasn't actually taken to blowing! into the chanter herself, she is! fascinated by the instrument and has aptly applied her musical skills in assisting her husband to play.Tattershall’s first interest in the bagpipe, he says, dates back several years to a stint in the Army. He was stationed close to the British Zone in Ger-, many where there was a Scottish regiment.Tattershall says it was a great thrill in those days to viewa colorfully clad regiment of soldiers marching in cadence to the sounds of the pipes. He describes bagpipe music as the Mmarchingest music in the world and relates that the instrument is used by the Seotch and Irish regiments much as the bugle is used by the U. S. Army.The Wapakonetan explains that in the countries where the pipes are used by the armies it is considered a man’s instrument and so highly regarded it is often used during battle to boost the morale of the fighting men.it doesn't take a lot of wind — just wind control, Tattershall relates. A horsehide hag ia filled with air much like one would fill a balloon and the bag is tucked under the piper's arm as a reservoir of air to be released by pressure of the forearm, Tattershall demonstrated.He said the chanter into which the piper blows is much like a flute and can be played apart from the pipes. But it is the pipes, through which the air is forced, that produce the uniquestrains.itContrary to popular belief,Horse T rading DueAt Fund's MeetingBy SAM DAWSONAP Business News AnalystNEW YORK (AP) —Monetary reform will inspire a lot of talk in Washingtin this week, but the real horse trading may be in trying to coax more money for the have-not nations from the treasuries of the haves.The world’s leading financial authorities are in Washington for the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

The growth of these have-not nations has been slower than that of the affluent industrialized ones.The bank puts the total annual national product of the industrialized nations at $1.1 trillion in 1964, up $180 billion from theTattershall explains that wind control takes a lot of practice. Since the bagpipe was not designed as a solo instrument, he bemoans the fact he has little occasion to play it now and therefore does not have the in* Merest in practicing he formerly had. The nearest bagpipe, to TattershaU’s knowledge, is one owned by Wooster College.A pesticide specialist for Baugh Chemical Co., a division of Kerr-McGcc Oil Industries, Tattershall spends a great deal of time on the road which he 9ays also prevents him from playing the instrument as often as he would like. But he has found time to study the origin of the bagpipe.Tattershall relates that although the Scotch have popularized the instrument, a form of the bagpipe can be traced to early Greece and France.Pigeon Problems
