You Shall Have Music
/ ^ word of praise must be given the army band boys who are
providing us with a band concert every Sunday, even though they
must play in the open and on the streets. Two bands (we can’t
designate them, of course) alternate in providing the musical fare
that everyone looks forward to regularly.
We thought the concerts should be better attended, until we
discovered the reason for it. We have friends who live blocks from
downtown who listen to the band music merely by opening their
dpor—at home. And others do, too.
Such good music deserves praise Such volume deserves volumes
of it! So thanks, boys, and keep the good work up. We need mus
ic these days.

“In order that an activity may
be considered essential to the
support of the war effort, its fac
ilities must be predominantly
devoted to the purpose.”
“With reference to civilian
activities, the phrase ‘necessary
to the war production program’
now means the work of process
ing or producing ships, planes,
faults, guns and other machines,
instruments, articles, and mater
ials directly used in the prosec
ution of the war.”
Emphasizing that in order to
be deemed a “necessary man” a
registrant must be engaged in a
‘‘critical occupation,” National
Headquarters said that “critical
occupations” exist only in activ
ities necessary to war production
or essential to the support of the
war effort adding:
“If the activity is neither nec
essary to war production nor
essentia! to the support of the
war effort, then no occupation
within that activity can be con
(•xfxmrmr
i sidered as a ‘critical occupation'
and, in such '■■ase, there is pro
vided no grounds for occupation
al classification.”
Also*, National Headquarters
said:
‘‘Not all occupations within
activities necessary to the war
production or essential to the
support of the war effort are
[‘critical occupations.’ When an
occupation within an activity
necessary to war production or
essential to the support of the
war effort is not itself a critical
occupation, then, in such case,
there is provided no grounds for
occupation classification.”

We happened to be living in
Eugene, Oregon at the time a
company of movie actors and
technicians arrived there to film
scenes for “Abe Lincoln in Illi
nois”, the picture showing at the
Orpheum Sunday. Curiosity in
the company’s activities were in
tense, and guards were needed to
keep people away from the scenes
being filmed. When you see the
picture you will see Abe Lincoln
on a scow load of pigs sailing
down a river and crashing over a
dam . . the dam was built across
the Williamette river about four
miles from Eugene, and the pigs
were rented from a local farmer.,
the scene was very realistic for
Raymond Massey,playing Abe...
he got banged up a bit and had
to take time out to doctor a cut
on his head. . . the complete vil
lage where Lincoln meets Ann
Rutherford and clerks in a store
was built on the banks of the
stream adjacent to the dam . .
after weeks and weeks of building
the village and getting everything
ready a light Oregon rain came
{along and the company had to
| sit around and wait for better
weather... the weather improved
just in time for a flock of airplanes
to gather at Eugene for an am
ateur flying meet. . . they lost
more time waiting lor the planes
to quiet down . . but they per
severed, and the biggest portion
of “Abe Lincoln In Illinois” was
filmed right there . . some extras
were hired locally, and a friend
of ours got the nod and a chance
to do some acting . . he acted as
a musician in a few scenes and
his success “in the movies” went
co his head a bit. . .. came the
night the picture showed in
Eugene. . . the friend “actor”
went, of course, with the family,
friends, and neighbors. . . but he
kVVVWWWWWWWWWWW ’
and they never saw .him 5,

remade in Hollywood, ,
new set of actors in it. .
