We notice Director Art Simons explaining his dooties to Nina Morris, Ken Kahn, watchin'  the harassed hantics of brother Buss as he herded' his charges together for ye chow session. . . Jack Faghin and Pearl Hoffman holidayin' at White Rock while hidden in a cloud of dust we discovered George Boadburg breez-in' back from Birch Bay (and all points south) . . . with the luscious females at JSnglish Bay: Cella Wolman hidin' from ye Jewish Western" Bulletin behind Rose Freedman, Bae F^eedman busy with Ole Sol, Rutb Wolman, Cella Buckshon, Lottie licv-tnson, Marion  Golden  and Goldle Zivot . . . promenadin' we noticed Aaron Kolinsky and Palomars drummer-de-lux Xou Xelson, Dave liSsser takin" in the Sun, Seattle's Frances Hanchin and Drumheller's Bob Shapiros, Ghrt Checklk and the Veno gals. . . Laugh of the week: one of our local lads jest started a bike-pushin' for a local delivery firm-having delivered a parcel in the vicinity of the police station and required hy the firm to always call the ofiiice, said youngster, devoid of nickels, sauntered into the police station, coolly called the office, calmly announcing that he was calling from the Police Station and if the delivery firm had any more calls for him. . . eemagine the consternation of the clerk in said delivery company's office. , . Following up our prediction that the Swing Six were going places; after their first public appearance at the A.Z.A.—Jr. B.B. installations the lads played for the Sun paper at its annual picnic on Bowen Island. . . .

I don't like the look in Sanuny Goldberg's eye when he starts ogling the bathing booties at 2nd Beach   (luscious aren't they. Sank—but why must it be 2nd Beach all the  time).

MUSIC SWEET and HOT
THE LIFE OF BENNY;GOODMAN )]AND THE LIVES OF CLASSICAL ARTISTS By Henry Mentor
Oiie of the most stimulating literary tonics of the season is to be found in Beimy Goodman's life-story "The Khigdom of Swing," written in collaboration with Irving Kolodin. It has the vibrant, intoxicating qualities of a Goodman solo on the clarinet. Neither pretense, nor flourish mar its ^straight narrative qualities. It is the .story of a; musician and an exposition of a musical creed, written with the fresh simplicily that is characteristic of the best in modern music.
On the other end of the scale, in theme and treatment, is David Ew-en's latest addition to his musical book-shelf, entitled "Men and Women Who Make MusiC;" Ewen, staid interpreter of the classic artists, treats his subject matter with grim solemnity even when, he Is recalling a humorous incident to flavor, a biographical sketch. : .
In "Men and Women Who Make Music" (Thomas Y. Crowell Co.), one finds the traditional data in digest form on sucli personalities of the concert stage as Kreisler, Toscanhii, •Paderewski, Heifetz, Szigeti, Menu-hin  and others,   totalling fifteen. Every ancient anecdote is trotted out. Nothhig is said In any of the para-.graphs that could give the slightest offense to.a worshipful admirer, Ew-,en Is the master of the platitude. He .means well, very well—as, for ex-sample, in painting the Menuhin family with a kindUness that is not al-Wr-ays justified by the acidity of the father. That absurd story about the Tartar background of Mrs. Menuhin

I Due to the simuner season, there is no business to report. The social ,bommittee, taking advantage of the jwarm weather, has planned an out-bi-door affah: in the form of an all-day picnic on North Shor^. Everyone iwill meet at the North Vancouver ^rry on Sunday, July 30 at 9:30 ajn. The day will probably be spent at Capilano canyon. On Sunday, we ijwould like to see a lot of prospective niembers, our brother organization, 1A.Z.A., in full attendance,. the Jud-aeans, and anyone else who wishes to bome. Everyone is invited! All are welcome! And an enjoyable day will be spent. Don't forget to bring your own lunch and money for the fare.. To the girls especially, who are not members of our organization and plan to join next fall, we especially urge you to attend and get acquainted with the rest. At this time, we would like to wish
A. Z A., the best of success in. their ■forthcoming conclave, and we will feive our co-operation and full-hearted :bupport to help the chapter in their 'plans, when called upon.
We are all very pleased to see our past president, Sally Sirlin, once again amongst us after an extended ViSit to San Francisco and the Junior
B. B. convention.
; For any information regarding the picnic, or new members inquiring about admittance to our club next fall; please phone Helen Cohen, Dexter 1217, or Anne Faghin, High. 0869Y.
Remember our All-Day Picnic Day: Sunday, July 30, Time 9:30 am.; place: North Vancouver Dock,
senior is also scotched.
One really has no legal complaint against EWehv for the title" of his volume is sufficiently comprehensive tc permit anything. Ewen's prose, as plahicut as xthe average - man's suit, is easy to read.-But it has no nuances and reveals ho'new facets in the lives of the men whom it alleges to describe. The ladies who work hard to prepare  papers  on   their favorite musician for "the Wednesday afternoon clubs should find;Ewen*s tidbits, of biography and personal reminiscence, most helpful. I But   "The  Kiingdom   of Swing" (^tackpole Sons) is really a surprise. Some years ago Paul Whiteman's biography appeared as the symbol of its type: vapid, lumpy, uninspired. One has a feeling that isenny Goodman contributed much to the bubbUng charm of his life-story, even though he was intelligent enough to credit Irvipg Kolodin, New York Sun music critic, with co-authorship. The difference in styles is especially emphasized in chapters which appear completely under Kolodin's name, intended to give the musical background of the period which Goodman is describmg in his own life, i At thirty Goodman is a legend. The devotees of Jascha Heifetz may abhor the shrillness of Goodman's clarinet, but a Gallup poll would probably determine that to the mass of Americans Goodman's is a better known name. Child of a prolix family in Chicago, Goodman got as far

YOUNG JUDAEANS
With time drawing closer for the departure of pur debaters and delegates to the Saskatoon Convention this September 2nd, 3rd and 4th, members must double and re-double their efforts to sell their raffle tickets. The radio to be raffled is one that is unique insofar as raffles are concerned and the nominal price coupled with the limited number of tickets printed should make this a popular raffle. Additional tickets may be obtained from executive members..,.Remember, members:..we have a great name to stand behind and so let's go over the top with a great showing of debaters and delegates at Saskatoon this fall.
In addition to this raffle, a farewell dance with music as only the Swing Sisters can swing it is planned for August 19th at the ballroom of the Community Centre. Don't forget the raffle! Don't forget ye ill ole Blue Box! And don't forget yours for fun and Zionism!
as the second year in high school and then dropped out completely to earn money in odd spots as a flU-hi musician. The traditional handicaps of a child of a Jewish tailor marked Goodman's early years. When he reached the stage when he could afford to let his father quit the sweat shops, the father was killed ixi an accident.
; Beimy Goodman marvels at his own good fortune: the chance to play the music he likes and yet to earn the kind of money with which a whimsical American public rewards its stars. What is distinctive about the account of his years is the generosity with .which he admires his contemporaries. He devotes more attention to the competent piayers of other bands and their leaders than he does to his own exploits and those of his band.
As Goodman potats out, his life Is a haze. Being at the stage of top popularity he is in constant demand, so that he sees the sunlight only in trips between the place at which he sleeps and the spot at which he is playing. In saying this, Goodman Is not trying to stress his importance but merely to indicate an aspect of the penalties of transitory popularity. Even then, Goodman has forgotten to mention some of his outside interests. There is many an organization which, in the past few years, has had the benefit of his co-operation—not because he feared the penalty of refusing assistance to popular cause but because he genuinely sympathized with the causes, always lib-iConunued on Page 4)
