A sittin here, in me ol' rockin' chair, this Janiary o' this bran' New Year, I'm reflectin' on all th' things I been a stewin' about, fer so many years, regardin' th' sitiation society finds itself immersed in, these days. Not bein' a body, who reverts t' th' ol', well-worn phrase, "I tol' ye so," a lot o' us elders could see what we wuz headed fer, and now we must cope wi' it. In all th' history o' mankind, folks ne'er had sich luxury. Th' pity is, they don't seem t' realize it, 'til it's gone, an e'en then, they can't seem t' realize that, one day, there won't be any thin' left in Mother Nature's cupboard. Fer thousands o' years there wuz plenty o' coal, an' oil, t' last fer thousands o' years o' comin' generations. Insatiable greed, extravagant livin', failure t' look t' future needs, soon catches up wi' folks, an' th' price must be paid. "Progress" wuz th' name o' th' game. Takin' ever'thin', an'. not puttin' anythin' back. Usin' up all that Mother Nature could produce, wi'out a givin' her a hand. We used up th' forests, 'til it became imperative t' replace 'em. Besides resources used up in war, jist think o' all the humanity, wasted. Is mankind A goin't' take heed, an' learn th' lesson, stop desecratin' human lives in war an' foolishness? This ol' granny wonders how far things '11 gof afore folks begin t' realize that tjjne 's a runpin' out.

President Marj Sharpe stated, "Never in the twelve-year history of the WFAA has such a series been presented. We hope the response will be overwhelming and that this series will be an annual event. We have not sponsored many fine music programs over the years and we felt the time was right to emphasize this aspect of the performing arts." The series begins Saturday, Jan. 19, at 8 in the Woodstock Opera House with the Milwaukee symphony string quartet. This quartet appeared here several years ago and played before a full house. The program this January includes Beethoven's "Quartet in F minor, Op. 95", Bartok's "Quartet No. 4 (1928)," and Ravel's "Quartet in F major. This string quartet is com­ posed of first chair players from the, symphony and has received outstanding reviews wherever it has played. The second series program is Saturday, March 2, and features duo-pianists Paula and Michael Smith, along with the Woodstock Fine Arts chorale. This program includes Schubert's "Grand Rondeau in A major, D951 (Op. 107)" and his* "Fantasie in F minor, D. 940, (Op. 103)", Brahms' "Liebeslieder Waltzes", assisted by the Fine Arts chorale, Debussy's "Petite Suite (1909)" and Stravinsky's "Pfetrouchka (1947). The husband-wife team are alumni of Oberlin College Con­ servatory of Music and have played with symphonies in Dallas and Denver and have played recitals in ^Cleveland, Chicago and Denver. The Rev." Smith is minister of Wood­ stock's Congregational- Universalist church. The Alpha-Omega Players, a touring repertory company based in Dallas, will present George Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan" Friday, April 12. Because of the length of the play the company's touring version has been somewhat shortened. The play and the date selected are particularly significant in that Easter Sunday is just two days away from the Woodstock per­ formance. Area theatre-goers will remember this group as they have appeared here three times previously several years ago. At that time they also did "Saint Joan" along with "Spoon River Anthology" and "The World of Carl Sandburg". The final series program, is Saturday, May 4, and features the Repertory Opera theatre performing Debussy's "The Prodigal Son" and Franz Lehar's "The Merry Widow". This company appeared in the Opera House last year doing "Madame Butterfly". Tickets will be available at the door or from any WFAA board member.

In a short half cen­ tury, we've managed t' use up more o' th' world's bounties, 'n in all th' centuries afore. We've ruined th'very air we breathe , polluted th' waters o' th' earth, destroyed thousands o' acres o' trees an' vegetation, needed t' purify th' air, an' covered 'em wi' miles o' cement that'd take an earthquake t' upturn, t' start th' cycle toward fertility, again.
