Walker, first vice president of the} 3 California Congress of Parents and Teachers at the evening session of the Nevada City High School Parent-Teachers association Friday. “Happy children are good citizens in school,” Mrs. Walker re-, marked. “Happy home relationships between parents and children, children and relatives, and children and neighbors, make for a happy child. Happy children get along well in school. A good warm breakfast is essential. A hungry child gets “shovey” about 10 o’clock, or he gets sleepy. The , proper hours of sleep is essential. A tired, sleepy child is not a’ good student. He is not a happy student. An insecure child is not. a happy child. If his parents are . cross and unhappy and quarrel. ! 4 some, he will be unhappy and . . un. } ‘disobedient. An unloved, wanted child is not a -good stu. dent. Children are in school a, very small part of the day, only . } five days a week. All the respon. . sibility cannot be placed upon'{ the teacher. See that a child has. enough of good substantial food, . ! enough rest, and good health. He cannot help being a good school citizen and when he leaves school a good world citizen.” An earnest and forceful believer in the rights of children, Mrs. Walker. was_ introduced by Mrs. James Fitzhenry, Sacramento, president of the: third district. Mrs. Clara F. Galloway, second vice president of the California Congress of Parent-Teachers organizations, introduced by Mrs. Robert Michell, president of Gold Flat Parent-Teachers association, said a few words on the wonderful cooperation of every local organization in working for the good of all children. Mrs. Walker also spoke on the effect of the McLain pension plan on public school funds. Urgently needed funds for our school were not available this year, and the association says vote “yes” on proposition 2, which removes the “costly, tricky, fine print” provisions of proposition 4—a scheme that has placed: California’s child welfare and schools programs in jeopardy. “Proposition 2,” Mrs. Walker said, “retains the monthly increase for pensioners—$75 for the needy aged and $85 for the blind—as approved by the voters last year. This proposition adds article XXVII, repeals article XXV, state constitution, and reinstates the plan of old age security and aid to blind, and the method of administration thereof, in existence prior to adoption of article XVI, except the maximum aid payments are retained at present: level” Mrs. Walker urged members to vote yes on proposition 1 which provides for allocation of loans and grants. to. impoverished school] district. “There is enough money in California to take care of our five-year olds, and grandma, too,” she said. “Proposition 2 will provide pensions for those in need and it will conserve state tax funds for the benefit of California’s school children as well. We can afford to maintain an adequate public school system and a generous pension program too—if soundly administered. To protect the needy from the greedy, vote ‘yes’ on proposition 2.” Mrs. Hazel Estes presided at the evening meeting, and refreshmembers of the Gold Flat Parent-Teachers association. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Carlson, superintendent of county schools; Mrs. Byron E. Brock, president of the Nevada City Women’s Civic club and Tri-County Federation; Albert Wood; Mrs. Beatrice Butcher; Mr. and Mrs. Roy. Larson; Mr. and Mrs. Michel Lipman; Thomas N.

The-opening concert of the current winter season will be held tomorrow evening at 8:15 o’clock in the Veterans Memorial building, Grass Valley, according to Lloyd Geist, chairman of the Twin Cities Community Concert . association. j Nikolai and Joanna Graudan will be the featured artists at tomorrow evening’s concert. The Graudans having first established reputations as soloists —Joanna as pianist and Nikolai as ’cellist—combined their talents to form a unique. concert duo. Though they were both born in tne same town in Russia, these artists did not meet until each had first gone his and her own way for several years. Nikolai left his home to study *cello at the St. Petersburg conservatory to the staff of which he was appointed upon his graduation. , Joanna studied first at Kharkov and then went to Berlin to work under the guidance of Kreutzer and Schnabel. At the same time, Nikolai was in Berlin filling his recital engagements there; and although their paths must have crossed many times, Nikolai and Joanna met for the first time that summer when they both returned to their native town to spend their . vacations. The following season they started concertizing together and two years after musical mer. ger they joined in marriage as well. . After their marriage, the couple was called upon more and more to give joint recitals and for five years they toured Europe as a ’cello-piano ensemble. In the meantime, each artist continued to achieve recognition in a solo capacity; each was engaged as guest artist with the Berlin philharmonic, while Nikolai also appeared with the BBC symphony under Sir Adrian Boult and with the London philharmonic under Sir Hamilton Harty. In 1938, they came to America to play in the Dutch East Indies. Upon their return to this country, Graudan was engaged by Dimitri Mitropoulos as first ’cellist with the Minneapolis symphony orchestra during which time Mrs. Graudan again joined her husband in musical utterance by appearing as soloist with that organization. Her presentation of Mendelssohn’s “Capriccio Brilli: ante” under Maestro Mitropoulos’ baton was recorded by Columbia. In addition to these orchestral activities, the Graudans continued concertizing together as a ’cello-piano team and their success drew them east where, in 1944, they gave two Town Hall recitals in a single musical season. Their subsequent coast to coast tours and USO and Red Cross appearances have echoed praise their New York recitals won.
