and 1933.
Tour Wins Triumph
In the recent best-selling book
by Roland Gelatt, “Music Makers,"
he was chosen the only violinist
among a galaxy of dominating
musical personalities of our time
who rated a full-length “profile of
13 pages.’’
Thousands have filled Holly-
wood Bowl, Lewisohn Stadium,
Robin Hood Dell, Ravinia Festi-
val, and every major concert hall
to hear him play, hundreds of
thousands have heard his superb
recordings, and millions have
heard his broadcasts and watched
and listened to him on the screen.
Master Of All Sty Us
Master of all styles, classic,
romantic, modern, Szigeti started
the vogue for many a concerto—
Prokoffeff, Tartini, Frunk Martin
—for many a composition of Stra-
vinsky. Bela Bartok and Ernest
Bloch
Joseph Szigeti was born in Hun-
gary. and was taught violin first
by hi* father, then placed under
the guidance of the noted violinist
and teacher. Jeno liubay. When
The unanimous concensus was ' Szigeti was twelve, he was brought
tically predicted a great future for
him.
This future, has become, one
may say, a historical fact, and the
name of Szigeti a household word
everywhere in the world.
It is not only in countless con-
certs, in a recorded repertoire,
that is a “must” in every record
library; through broadcasts that
have taken him into millions of
homes that the Szigeti name has
achieved its present “best seller”
status. It is also through his ab-
sorption in all sorts of musical
projects in America, of which he
is a citizen, his numerous articles,
and above all, his autobiographic
book, "With Strings Attached,”
that he has become an outstanding
personality of the American musi-
cal scene.
Manner Is Gracious
To sit ar.d chat with Szigeti is
to get no concept of his prodigious
drive and energy. His manner is
relaxed and gracious, his voice
soft-spoken, his English fluent and
precise.
Typical of the way he gets
things done is his book, “With
Strings Attached," which Szigeti
calls a communication to the
many people whom he would like
to meet personally and can’t. He
wrote it the hard way, without
typewriter, without secretary, on
whatever scraps of paper were
handy, in whatever time he could
snatch while waiting for trains,
flying from one engagement to an-
other, and between courses during
his meals.
The result is a book of reminis-
cences and reflections covering a
lifetime of creative music-making.
There are revealing glances at
such different personalities as Igor
Stravinsky, Bela Bartok, Benny
Goodman, Duke Ellington, Jack
Benny, Hildegardc, Albert Eistein,
Thomas Mann, and our great
Thomas A. Edison. The Atlantic
Monthly summed up the general
reaction of the literary world by
saying, “Szigeti writes as he plays,
like a good citizen of the world."

State Health Officer Stresses Need
Of Controlling Spread Of Disease
AUSTIN, Oct. 27.—Dr Geo. W.
Cox, State Hqalth Officer, says
that it is the duty of every citi-
zen, young and old, |o help in
preventing the spread of disease.
Every man, woman and child in
Texas has a personal obligation 1
to keep us well as possible, and
to do ail they can to protect
others from illness. Even a child
hi kindergarten can be taught to
cover a cough or sneeze and thus
! help in preventing the spread of
colds or other diseases that start
with the symptoms of a cold.
Dr. Cox emphasizes the fact
that the local nealth officer can
do little to break the chain of
communicable disease in the com-
munity if he does not have the
whole-hearted support of the peo-
ple. Every case of illness that
looks suspicious of being a com-
municable disease should be
promptly reported to the health
officer. Physicians report to the
county or city health officer the
cases of communicable diseases
they diagnose, .but parents often
fail in this duty. The local health
officer cannot start control meas-
ures unless he is informed of cases
or suspected cases of communi- i
cable diseases.
Some signs and symptoms which
often accompany communicable
disease are: running nose, cough-
ing and sneezing, dizziness or
faintness, swelling about the neck.
Miss Brevely Stegall, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. P. O. Stegall, was
honored recently with a weiner
roast birthday party.
The young people enjoyed games
on the back lawn of the Stegall
home, then roasted weiner* over
