Monday, Sept. 26, 1949 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN National School Commission Picks DnPont Executive As Staff Director New York, N. Y—Henry Toy Jr., 85, Du Pont Company Executive and founder of the Council for Delaware Education, has been appointed Executive Director of the new National Citizens Commission for Uie Public Schools, Roy E. Larsen. president of Time Inc. and chairman of the Commission, announced recently "As a businessman who realizes the vital importance of the public .Schools U) munity a- as to the nation, Ml imattc ■access ol the Council for Itiiens to improve the public schools in Communitl Mr. dd.

It was formed last May to work for concerted action by citizens in their own communities. The group lias received initial financial support from the Carnegie Corporation and the General Education Hoard. Its Officers aye, besides Mr. Larsen: James F. Brownlee, former deputy director of the OPA, vice-chairman; John A.

Vibrations And Variations Breathe deep. There's music in the night, lover. An old favorite, which somehow always appealed to nomadic A mericans such as you and I, has been wrapped up In a vitalizing, and somewhat refreshing manner by Mr. H. James. It's Tuxedo Junction. Both sides of this record have all of the swing style that Glenn Miller made famous with an addition of this modern music called Bop. It certainly stands out as the best of James that this avid fan has heard in many years . About the hottest thing on the juke boxes these days is a record by Frankie Laine aptly titled "I Get Sentimental Over Nothing." The other side "That Lucky Old Sun" shows more promise than any other of his recent recordings. It is records like these that have made Frankie Laine, a darkhorse in the not too distant past, one of the great jazz attractions of today. The feeling that this Italian lad has is terrific, especially when he has a good number to work with. For the strictly jazz fan, Flip Phillips does a wonderful job on "Caravan" which is pancaked to "Flying Home." Flip Phillips, who Is one of the big three on the tenor In this small jazz world, gets off some terrific bop licks. If you like sax — and more, well, look for the Mercury label, "How High the Moon?" This musical riddle has just been answered by Lionel Hampton and members of his combo. On the reverse is a dish of "Ribs and Hot Sauce," also served in the typical Hampton fashion. Both sides of this waxing are crystal clear and sparkling, colored with numerous variations of pattern. At last Decca is making a comeback . Les Brown is always welcome in this column and more so now than ever. There is a great need for good dance bands who do not stoop to the pitifully low standard of present day "Micky Mouse" mus<- ic (pardon me, Guy Lombardo.) Les has always upheld a high standard which is one reason for his immense popularity with college students. His latest release is "Cross Town Trolley" pressed to "Just a Gigolo" on a Columbia disk. No surprise, but good. If you liked "No name Jive" by Glenn Gray, then you have a big treat in store. Decca has released an album of Glenn Gray favorites. The outstanding record in the album is a trumpet solo by Bob Hackett of "If I love Again."

"You're Breaking My Heart" will be the top song in the country soon. Check and see. It sure will help Vic Damone. Another record which is good but won't make the top is Duke Ellington's "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree." Perhaps it is too good to be a success. G.W.

President George Quesada has indicated his desire to have as many new students as possible, and especially girls, visit with the club tonight with a possible view toward enrolling in the organization. The emphasis on girls is to remedy a situation which has prevailed in the past. There has always been a preponderance of boys in the club and, as is the case now, girls are sometimes lacking entirely. New plans for the club include a membership drive with a view to inducing the ladies to join. Several trips and conferences are to be arranged and expanded programs are to be presented. There is a possibility that the club will have isome important speakers, men who are a part of the world scene and who will present topics of vital interest to all. Sponsors for the club are Dr. R.
