First of Winter Conce rt Series October 12
With Totenberg ond S chapiro .
Coming direct from New
York for his Alaska concerts,
Roman Totenberg, violinist, to
be heard here on October 12
with Maxim Schapiro, pianist,
will arrive on Oct. 11 to have a
look around Seward, get his fine
old violin accustomed to our
climate and generally ready
himself for the opening concert
of the Alaska Music Trail. This
will be Mr. Totenberg’s first trip
north, while Maxim Schapiro
lias made a habit of coming an
nually for several seasons now.
With international concert
to«rs to their credit, Alaska now
takes a place with Europe, South
America and Mexico for Mr.
Roman Toienberg
Totenberg and is included with
Europe, Japan, Mexico for Mr.
Schapiro. Both artists call Cali
fornia their home state and to
gether they rehearsed their Sew
ard program there during Sep
tember. Everywhere Totenberg
is hailed for his virtuosity.
Bunos Aires enjoyed his concerts
to the extent of demanding
twelve programs in one season
Cleveland audiences recalled
him many times when he played
as soloist with the Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Rod
zinski conducting: Santiago.
Chile, rated Totenberg with El
man. Heifetz and Sziteti when
he appeared there in concert.
His Washington, D.C., listeners
in Constitution Hall called him
before the curtain six times after
his debut when he played his
first concert in the United
States.
While a sensitive Mozart in
terpreter and a commanding
performer of Beethoven, for pure
brilliance of style and subletv
of color, Totenbreg plays the
rhythmic, swinging “Habanera”
of Ravel with a skill that calls
for shouts from his audiences.
Returning to Alaska, the coun
try he has always championed
as the greatest for opportunity
and where good music is ap
preciated, Maxim Schapiro will
see the establishment of the Alas
ka Music Trail, a concert series
for every city and town wishing
to support the plan to receive
the full value for their efforts
by hearing truly great artists
selected with care and a full
knowledge of their artistic abil
ity.
He will play here on Oct. 12
with Roman Totenberg, violinist,
in joint recital, thus giving an
auspicious opening concert by
two famous artists who have re
ceived the acclaim and praise of
Maxim Schapiro
both critics and audiences.
Since his concert in the north
a season ago. Mr. Schapiro has
earned continued success for his
appearances as soloist with the
San Francisco Symphony Or
chestra, Pierre Monteux, con
ducting; in four programs for the
famous Bach Festival, Carmel,
Calif.; for the National Music
Teachers Convention at San
Francisco where his program of
Contemporary Music received
the spontaneous applause of
critics and a capacity audience.
Alexander Fried, noted critic of
the San Francisco Examiner,
wrote . . . “during a superb
piano recital by Maxim Schapiro
. . . all the compositions had
distinction and value. Schapiro’s
performances were remarkably
mastered and brilliant, and his
audience applauded them as
such.”
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sheldon
will leave next Wednesday on
their return trip to Seattle. They
drove up over the Alaska High
way, which Mrs. Sheldon said
was her fifth trip over that road.
Catholic Information
Don't eat that—it's poisoned!
“Now children, be good while
Mother’s out. Don’t play with
the matches! Don't lean out the
window! Don’t eat that cake in
the pantry—it’s poisoned for
rats!”
What a lot of commands!
What restrictions on the child
ren’s freedom! But who can
question that a mother has both
the right and the duty to give
such commands?
Ever since Christ said to
Peter: “Feed my lambs. Feed
my sheep,” Holy Mother Church
has exercised the right and duty
to feed her children God’s
spiritual food and to protect
them from poisons, skillfully
concocted to ruin the faith and
morals of the unwary. It is for
this reason that the Church has
its Index of Forbidden Books.
The index is widely misunder
stood. It does not list by title
and name all books and authors
forbidden to the Catholic. In
fact those so listed are compar
atively few and consist largely
of works about whose charac
ter there was a doubt and upon
which therefore the Church had
to make public decision.
The application to the great
mass of Catholics is in the Gen
eral Rules of the Index, which
plainly show the type or char
acter of work, the reading of
which is dangerous to faith and
morals and therefore forbidden
under pain of grevious sin. If
books of such character are not
known to the individual by
reputation, they soon make
themselves manifest in the read
ing; and the loyal Catholic im
mediately closes the book.
The General Rules of the
Index closely parallel God’s
natural law, which forbids any
man deliberately to lead him
self into temtation; for example,
by such things as sinful com
panions, places of ill-repute, ob
scene plays and motion pictures.
That the Index hampers free
dom of thought is not true, un
less liscense to obsorb error and
to dwell on impurity can be
called “freedom of thought.”
And the Church is eminently
fair and practical. Just as the
doctor or chemist is permitted
to use drugs and poisons for
bidden to the masses, so the
well-fortified Catholic teacher
or scholar may be dispensed
by the proper authorities from
such rules of the Index, the
observances of which would
interfere with some necessary
study or research.
Christ said, “He that heareth
you, heareth me,” and so the
appreciative Catholic bows his
head in loving submission when
Holy Mother Church says:
“Don’t read that—it’s poisoned!”
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!

Mrs. Don Wilson returned this
week after an extended visit
with her family in California.
She was fortunate to miss our
unusually long rainy spell and
we hope that her suntan will be
good for the rest of the winter.
We know that Don was glad
to see her, no matter how good
a cook he is.
If you keep both feet on the
ground no one can pull your leg.
The better the advice the
harder it is to take.
