-That Girl on Broadway says acting all you make isn’t wise, but it’s a lot better than not mak ig all you spend. If a light change causes you to stop your car at a down town intersection and it stretches across the walkway used by pedestrians to cross in front of you, DON’T slam into reverse in order to fully clear the crosswalk. A fellow did that at Thir teenth and Avenue J the other afternoon when foot traffic was heavy. Part of the cross ers were going in front of him, part behind between his car and another. Suddenly, he ,Started backing up and only the frantic yells and screams avoided a serious accident. In fact, a woman pedestrian was nearly mashed between the rear bumper of the offend ing driver's car and the front bumper of the one behind and almost fainted as a result. Be careful. Shopping crowds are getting heavier these days. USELESs information, in so far “ as this country’s concerned: Gentlemen must not wear a white carnation on the lapel of a dinner ticket. White carnations may be known in the evening only by gen tlemen in white tie and tails. .. (This should be especially valu able knowledge when you're dressing for the next barbecue!) . In women and automobiles, a paint job can conceal the rage but the body lines tell the story. That Man on, Avenue Q says a trouble with most plans to et rich quick is that they have readings. An ambulance driver was arrested for speeding 70 miles per hour through a busy part of Cleveland. Maybe he was just trying to pick up some extra business as he went along. T THE Southwestern Public Service company’s Awards Dinner the other night, vocal music was furnished by the “Melody Belles of Texas Tech, ac companied at the piano by Don Armstrong, of Amarillo. Sensing there might be some thing extra-special about these ‘lovely and talented young music ‘majors, I called Dr. Raymond El liott, at the College, to get a run down on them. The three girls, Margaret Am er, Margaret Schindler and Ann ogg are all from Monahans and ave been singing together rough high school and college. they’ve been at Tech a couple of ars, coming here as transfers allowing their year at TCU. All all graduate either in the Spring, or next August, Doctor Elliott re ports. The trio has appeared before re than 1,000 groups since its mbers got together at Monn ans High and it seems to me to a shame that time and gradu on soon will separate them. They sing beautifully, have fine ge presence and, as Doctor Elliott puts it, are professionals in so far as their proficiency is concerned. Ann Hogg, smallest of the three, {§a voice major, but also is tal ented in piano and in dramatics. Brunet Margaret Ammer is a vio lin major and blond Margaret Schindler a pianist. The schools which get these girls as music teachers (if al ready eooking matrimonial plans of the Misses Hogg and Schindler don’t interfere) will really be getting prizes. It would be wonderful if all three could land in the same school system, so they could con tinue their music teamwork. . Incidentally, Doctor Elliott, Avho is acting Head Professor of Music at Tech in the ab sence on leave of Dr. Gene Hemmie, asked me during our _ conversation if anything had spelled out of a talk Doctor emmie and I had last year “about a_ possible city-wide © Christmas music program this year. . I told him no, since Doctor Hemmie had gone off to study “this year and hadn't been around. Doctor Elliott said, however, that the idea might be put to work anyway, since Doctor Hemmie thought well of it ,and also since Ira Schantz is back on the faculty and could take charge. THE IDEA had to do with the _ Massing of church choirs, high school and Tech vocalists on @y Sunday afternoon during the holiday season for a program of Christmas hymns, anthems and semi-classical Yale music, all for free. Perhaps a collection could be taken to defray expenses of the Fair Park Auditorium, etc., and the average placed in the Goodfellow Christmas Fund for needy children. With a good work out at Fair Park Auditorium this year, a really wangdoodle of a program could be built year aft .year and presented in the new widitorium Coliseum each _holi y season. I like to hear from some of the folks about this idea. If there is, enough = interest displayed, mening might be done this Above and beyond the boost to .
