ART FOR ART’S SAKE
Many who have listened to the excellent programs
broadcast nightly over KFQD, Anchorage, arc possibly
not aware of the fact that a large portion of its program
is supplied by local musical talent who contribute freely
of their time in entertaining the many radio listeners.
Thus, in addition to supplying highly appreciated en
tertainment KFQD is the agency thru which musical art
is steadily advancing in the Headquarters City.
Some of the musical programs, both instrumental
and vocal, are superior to many of those coming over the
air and supplied by paid entertainers. And again there is
a close human touch in the work of the musical artists,
which causes the programs to take on the atmosphere of
a home gathering of young people who express sentiment
in its most appealing form.
Nothing has greater influence upon character build
ing than music, and nothing is valued more by the artist
tnan an appreciation of his or her effort.
Speaking on behalf of the many who enjoy these pro
grams this appreciation is unstinting in its volume, both
with respect to the entertainment and the spirit and loy
alty of those who supply it.
Richard Whitney, president of the New York stock
Exchange, says national disaster would result from the
increased federal tax on stock market transfers. Of
course Mr. Whitney and his compeers consider themselves
the nation.
It looks as if Tammany will have to give back all
those fat pickings A1 promised them when he becomes
President.
