WORLD OUTDOORS
^ jWy M2ICE BENNETT:
OUTDOOR activity on the
move: water skiing This
year, according to the prediction
of at least one expert, some two
million people will learn to water
aki. Such is the forecast of James
Rusing, of Florida’s Sunshine
Springs Water Circus, himself a
pioneer ski school operator and
one of the all-time greats of the
sport.
The two million figure becomes
more impressive in view of the
estimate that three and a half
million people now water ski. This
means that an increase of over 50
per cent is expected in 1958.
How could one account for
auch rapid growth? It has to
be partly due to increased
leisure time for the average
citizen and the trend to some
aort of outdoor activity to oc
cupy that leisure time.
Much of the credit for the popu
larity of water skiing must go to
outboard motor manufacturers
who have developed motors hav
ing sufficient performance in pull
ing power and speed for water
skiing.
Too, water skiing is as easily
learned by the old as the young
It is also a group activity, in which
tha entire family can participate
Man-made takes in prac
tically all section* of the coun
try have opened up new wa
ter playgrovnds and the trail
ability of the outboard boat
has increased the number of
different places the family can
go to ski.
Until the modern outboard, fam
ilies had te do their water skiing
almost emiiely with the expen
sive inboard-cowered boats. To
day, satisfactory outboard power
has brought the crice of the ski
package of beat, motor and trailer
within rcaco of the average fami
ly pocketbook
School Spring
Concert Given
The Sitka public schools
presented their annual Spr
ing Concert last Friday even
irig at die multi-purpose
room of the Baranof school.
A capacity audience thor
oughly enjoyed the varied &
highly entertaining program.
Sparked by the dedicated
efforts of Floyd Clay the end
result was far superior to
what is usually expected
from students in concert. A
high pitch of eagerness to
please was evident in all the
presentations as well as an
obvious pleasure by the stu
dents in their musical work.
The opening numbers pre
sented the Biginner s Band
playing “The Shadow Waltz”
and the “Jr. Band March ,
both by Taylor. An accor
dant solo was then offered by
Mary McLawhon. She play
ed the “Song of India.
The Junior High Chorus
sang a group of three num
bers, Howes “Battle Hymn
of the Republic ”, a medley
called “She’s My Sweet
heart” and “How Sad is True
Love"
The Intermediate Band
was very well received es
pecially when Mr. Clay an
nounced that this group, in
order to have rehersal time,
comes early in the morning
before school takes up so
that they can practice toget
her. They played “Sunday
Mood and “Pacific Grand
eur’. Carl Gaenslen, piano
soloist played Chopin’s
“Minute Waltz.”
The Senior High Girls
Chorus, dressing in their strik
ing robes offered a melodic
trio of numbers: “Deep in
My Heart Dear”, You’ll never
Walk Alone” and “Blue
Moon”.
What might be called the
second half was devoted to
the work of the Senior Band.
Always a handsome group,
they looked especially well
on the riser equipted stage.
Their first offerings included
the “Marche Lorraine” by
Louis Ganne and “Kamenoi
Ostrow” by Rubinstein.
Mark Knoll, local piano
prodigy offered the diffi
cult “Waltz from Tsehai
kowsky’s Sleeping Beauty
ballet. This was followed by
Dave Ramsey’s coronet solo
Sehubert’s “Serenade”,
The band then played
“Malaguena” of Lecurona 6c
the “Parade of the Wooden
Soldiers” by Jessel. These
numbers were followed by
“The Doll Dance” played by
the flute trio of Diana
Trent, Alice Leinen 6c Ma
rion Williams, a solo by Rich
ard Mankinen on the trom
bone called, “VaJse Petite”
and a trumpet solo by Vic
tor Koshman, “Bugler’s Holi
day”.
rinai numbers or trie eve
ning by the band were, “La
Comprasita”, the novelty
piece “The Three Little Pigs”
and “Invercargill March”.
The closing numbers was un
der the baton of student di
rector, Cuarence Antioquia.

Sermonette
by Rex King, Sec.
Sitka Baha’i Community
The Trouble Is With US
The Poet says; “God’s in
His Heaven all’s right with
the world”, and the phrase
sounds good and in-so-far as
the future of mankind is con
cerned, I believe the state
ment is true. But what of the
present moment?
Christ’s promise of “Thy
Will be done on earth as it
is in Heaven” ...is no idle
hope, nor is it a dreamer’s
mirage. But heaven on earth
must be earned. God’s love,
God’s heaven surrounds us
all. What we do have to do
is empty ourselves of all that
is unheavenly in order that
we may be filled with hea
venly things. And what are
heavenly things? Love, jus
tice, rightousness, moral ehas
tity, kindliness, purity, not
breathing the sins of others,
ect. and ect.
A writer who is a dear and
respected friend puts the sub
jeet in these words: “We
must ask ourselves what has
been lacking in us that has
led us to our present pass?
How have we failed? Can we
really, each one of us, in
dividually so insignificant
when contemplated beside
the bulky, unwieldy mass of
the world’s inhabitants, do
something that will have an
effect on the course of future
events? The answer is yes,
we can. For the finest thing
produced by nature is man.
He really is the key to both
heaven and hell, for by the
way he directs his powers &
faculties events are shaped.*
We have only to compare
what Abraham Lincoln did
for his country and what
Adolf Hitler did for his, to
see how true this is, just how
much difference in the
worlds history one man can
make Some things exist in
this world by the nonexis
tance of others. For instance
shadow exists because light is
not present; cold because
heat is absent; death because
life has ceased; hatred be
cause love has ebbed and its
place filled by hatred. If peo
ple are (as they most ob
viously are) confused, unhap
py, dissatisfied, it is because
they have cut themselves
from the force which alone
can bring them certainty, joy,
and satisfaction, and that is
the force of love which their
Creator is continually shower
ing upon them and from
which they are continually
shutting themselves off.”
Indeed, the trouble is with
us, so long as we seek to lay
the blame for world con
ditions at other doors than
our own those world condi
tions will get no better. But
as each soul begins to clean
his own house and reflect the
heavenly qualities, so will,
with increasing rapidity of
pace “all be right with the
world”.
