WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE S Moony Love Songs Drive Soviet Loony By DREW MIDDLETON Moscow--The sloppy sentiment- ality over the agonies of a pair of lovers who were forbidden to kiss in the park, and such like nonsense, is out of tune for Soviet popular songs. Culture and Life, organ of agita- tion of the Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist party, austerely re- proved Soviet songwriters for their "slavish imitations" of the Tin Pan Alleys of western capitalist coun- tries. It does mot approve of the song writers' 'endless repetitions of the vulgar themes of commerc! beer-hall Bohemia." : 1. Nestyev declared that the po- litically important propaganda song seems to be giving way to triviali- ties. He points to two recent pro- ducts of Soviet song-writers. In one of these, "a loving pair suffer the of torment because it is forbidden to kiss in the park." And in the other, "The young lady doesn"s like her dancing partner who has changed from his uniform to civilian clothes." i If Mr. Nestyev is a bit shaken by these Soviet examples, it is reward- ing to think what would happen if he were confronted by some Ameri- can species of the same type lyric. What would be Culture and Life's reaction to the one about the three little fishes who swam and swam, or "Mairzy Doates" as chanted over the United States radio? Just a Druggish Drool Besides such stuff, a recent Soviet number by V. Kruchinina called "Four Courtiers" sounds fair to this correspondent, although Mr. Nes- tyev considers it a "stinkeroo," as the boys say on Tin Pan Alley. Part of the refrain of "Four Courtiers" runs: Young men there are plenty, But what good are they? I would be better, I believe, If I looked for a permanent man. Compared to some of our stuff, this is pretty good logic. American songs of this type, says Mr. Negtyev, "console the fool and drug" the little person and deaden his gloomy thoughts of tomorrow. They also infuriate occasionally. Culture and Life, in giving the lively arts a once-over, also rapped radio for its monotonous music, dry language and average performers. The radio committee that heads the Soviet system was urged fo eliminate "weak" ideological works and to remember that radio is an impartant means for the ideological education of the workers. A. Puznin, chairman of the radio committee of the Council of Minis- ters, in yet another article, outlined the amount of broadcasting done on two daily domestic programs. ' Radio to Hawk Ideology Sixty per cent of radio time is devoted to music; 86 per cent to literature; 19.4 per cent to politics and sclence, and 7.9 per cent to children, What happens in the re- maining 4.1 per cent of the time Mr. Puznin df 't mention, but it isn't taken up commercial plugs. The Central Committee has in- structed the radio committee to _. eliminate certain defects in broad- casting. Special attention is to be paid to illuminating the economic, political and cultural life of the _ Soviet Union, to propaganda for the Five Year Plan, to reports of Labor's heroism and to insistence on the tenacity of the Soviet people in surmounting the difficulties oI the post-war period. Besides, it will ize the methods of the best collective farms and industrial plants that have overfilled their production quotas. Thus, radio, youngest of the in- formative arts, will follow the press and theatre along the path laid down by the Central Committee to- ward a 100 per cent ideological con- tent. Fourth Daughter Born To Princess Juliana Amsterdam, Feb. 18--(AP)--The guns near Crown Princess Juliana's Palace at Soestdijk and in the cen- tre of the main Dutch cities thund- ered out a barrage at 7 a.m. today, awakening Hollanders to tell them of the birth of a Royal baby.

Both mother and child were reported well. .Juliana's first three children are Princesses Beatrix, nine, Irene, sev- en and Margaret four.

London, Eng. -- Official Britain still is seeking to maintain morality standards through direct and indi- rect regulations. Members of the British diploma- they may be dismissed. Similarly, it -is- the talk of theatri- cal circles in London that certain well-known tage figures lately have been passed over in the of Db; Palace for honors by matrimonial or other ri 3 As the Lord Chamberlain is think- ial | ing over the problems which will present themselves at this year's re- sumed Royal parties, he told this ent that the longstanding rule would continue whereby no di- vorced persons may attend royal courts levees, garden parties, or roy- al enclosure at the Ascot summer race meeting. The regulations state that while there are certain courses of conduct reprehensible the member, in other cases conduct may be reprehensible if the member holds a high post, but less serious when the member is of junior sta- tus. On marriage to a person of non- British nationality, the regulations state that this may well diminish an officer's utility as a British repres- entative abroad and even may result in there being no post in the foreign service to which he can prorerly be appointed.

For Happy Marriage Never Talk Back Victoria Harbor, Ont., Feb, 17 --(CP)--A man should never talk back to his wife. Words only add fuel to the fire and are bet- ter left unsaid. That's the formula Charles Gouett, 92, says he has used suc- cessfully to get along with his wife, And he should know be- cause he and Mrs. Gouett, now 88, have been married 71 years come Feb, 23. He fell in love at first sight when he met Amanda Pierson 72 years ago in a store in Barrie, Ont. "She was so pretty and nice, I went right home and told mother that Amanda was the girl I planned to marry," he said in an interview. "And that's just how it happened. We were married and I've been sitting on top of the world ever since." Married in Glengarry the Gouetts spent their honeymoon in Barrie. They lived for several years in Wisconsin before moving to Waubashene and later to Vie- toria Harbor, a Simcoe County community of about 1,000 popula. tion, They have five sons, Lorne of Toronto, Edward of Ottawa, Gor- don and Roy of Victoria Harbor and Elmer of Sault Ste, Marie, Ont.; and a daughter, Laura, of Victoria Harbor. 1 T'ne Times-Gaz2tte classified eds. bring quick results, GENUINE ASPIRIN IS MARKED THIS WAY DODDS KIDNEY =r What you NEED cz SLOAN'S LINIMENT enviable job.

You can call your nearest police station and report both child and parents, The attitude of the police is this, such conduct is the fault of the parents, and they may be charged with establishing juvenile delinquency. It's a hard thing to do, but it is better to take some action than to talk and get angry. * x x g Open City: :"Is Open City a fit movie for children to see?"
