The New York Herald Tribune
(J. D. Bohm). April 8, 1948, stated that young Laszlo was "The most remarkable young pianist en-countered in 20 years of experience in reviewing music in New York." After his first concert in New York, just a short time ago, the New York Times stated the next day he was "entitled to be placed among the outstanding keyboard artists of the present timeproving that for a born artist age matters little and that’s what counts above everything is the possession of innate musical instinct."
In giving their support and high praise, the New York Herald Tribune declared. "In fact there was no need to take this Hungarian lad's youth into consideration at any time during the course of his long and exacting program. He has few peers among pianists of any age, young or old."
Radiating happiness and health, and joyful beyond words over his success in playing the piano, Ervin Laszlo, although Hungarian-born, looks like any young American boy, rather quiet but with a great deal of poise, who likes people and likes them to like him. He has a fond memory of the day he and his mother first saw the skyline of New York from the rails of the ship on which they had secured passage from Europe—it represented a dream come true!
Ervin loves everything about music and he loves everything about America. He attends the Professional Children’s School in New York—reads a lot, from Shakespeare to Victor Hugo and Sinclair Lewis, and books on biology and astronomy—likes to swim a lot and do mountain climbing— photographs every town in which
he concertizes, and has his own dark room for developing prints.
The young genius began his instruction of the piano at the age of five, first from his mother, piano teacher, but in six months he had learned as much as she could teach him, and then from others, including the famous Dohnanyl. At seven, he won his first prize from the Music Academy of Budapest. Ervin made his debut at the age of nine years, playing with the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra, performing the Mozart A Concerto.
This appearance marked the beginning of a brilliant concert career. However, his work was temporarily interrupted during the war when the Nazis occupied Hungary, and he was denied the use of a piano. Resuming his playing as soon as possible, at fourteen he won the Francois Liszt Prize, and in the same year the Artist Diploma from the Academy of Music. At fifteen, in competition with 500 artists from 40 countries, he won the Grand Prize at the International Music Competition in Geneva. His greatest thrill, until coming to America, was in winning this contest!
All in all a quotation from Life Magazine sums up the evaluation of Laszlo—"New York's music critics are notoriously jaded listeners. When they show evidence of wakefulness, something unusually good is apt to be happening —they nearly jumped out of their seats at the debut of a dark-haired, 16-year-old Hungarian named Ervin Laszlo, who tackled the piano with a flawless technique and mature understanding."
Miller Directs Children’s Workers This Week End
Dessie Miller, Elgin, Ill., National Director of Children's Work of the Church of the Brethren, will be the main leader of the Regional Demonstration - Work Conference for Children’s Work-ers to be held here at McPherson Friday. Nov. 11, and Saturday Nov. 12.
Registration will begin Friday at 1:30 p. m. at the Church of the Brethren basement.
Mrs. Merritt R. Lee of Wichita has been secured as an inspirational speaker for the Friday evening session beginning at 7:30 p. m.
Book displays and opportunity for experimentation with creative expression will add interest to spare moments during the conference.
The last session is to be at 7:30 p. m. Saturday evening. Sev-eral sessions of interest to District Directors and Church School Teachers are also being planned for the following week.
Young Democrats To Organize Club
A Young Democrats Club is being organized in "Republican" McPherson Monday night, Nov. 14 in the New Room of Hotel Warren at 8 o’clock. Mrs. Rozella Switzer will be in charge of the opening meeting. Everyone is welcome.
Mrs. Switzer stated, in making the announcement, that there is a definite reason why young people, especially those of college age, should be interested and take part in practical politics. People who are educated and have social consciences owe something to their government. They have no right to complain because they have a choice of two candidates, both bad, unlesss they are willing to get in on the ground floor and help name the candidate. Democracy depends upon the willingness of intelligent people to get into
All students wishing to buy tickets for the banquet may do so after noon Saturday. Tickets will be on sale for $1.00. Only a limited supply for students will be available. The committee states, “First come first served."
Preparations are being made for 300 people to attend the banquet. The women of the church will serve the dinner.
Don Snider Snider Speaks
Don Snider, Elgin, Illinois, will be the principal speaker at the Youth Conference. He will first speak to the youth at 9 o'clock tonight in the College Chapel.
Registration will take place in the Student Union Room from 1 to 4 p. m. Friday. From 3:30 to 5 Friday afternoon, there will be a guided tour of Bay Refinery or Wall-Rogalsky Mill.
Addresses will be given on Saturday by Don Snider and by Hon. William Tice. Discussion groups will be lead by Raymond Flory, Don Snider, Robert Tully, and James Elrod.
practical politics. To that end the Young Democrats Club is being organized.
It is important, Mrs. Switzer added, that young people, first voters, choose their party on the party's merits rather than inheriting the politics of their parents and, after having chosen, get in and make their influence felt. The Democratic party, being the minority in Kansas, offers young people a chance to work in practical politics right from the start.

Radio Program At 2:30 Features Yets
Featuring the veterans of McPherson College will be the radio program today at 2:30.
The program in honor of Armistice Day will be in the form of a panel discussion pertaining to veterans and their problems.
Those taking part will be Dave Stern, James Hoover, Vaiso Al-allima, Wilbur Beattie, Lester Messamer, Alvin Willems, and Iv-an Little.
Professor Rolland Plasterer will lead the discussion.
Dale Wilhelm, graduate of Mc-Pherson College in 1898, has become such a collector of functional bells that an article appeared about him in the Denver Post. October 23, 1949.
Wilhelm, who operates an ice house in Gillette, Wyoming, has a "cradle to grave" assortment of bells covering the services rendered to man by bells in practically every stage or human development.
Bells have been called upon to perform heroic services. In the course of history they have: aroused the Yankee countryside to an invasion of Redcoats: made possible rescues from sinking ships; signalled the beginning of great sea battles; and sounded the death knell of whole cities by fire. In many other capacities they serve man in everyday life.
Wilhelm owns bells for almost any function. He has sleigh bells, fire bells, ships’ bells, locomotive bells, dinner bells, caravan bells.
One of his most prized bells came off an engine which piled what may have been the nation's shortest railroad. The right-of-way extended a full 29 miles from Clearmont to Buffalo, Wyo.
One set of iceman's bells came off a Conestoga wagon, the only true prairie schooners because they were the only ones really waterproof and capable of floating across a river.
Wilhelm's collection also includes a set of caravan bells from Persia; a Chinese fishing gong: a mission bell from Mexico; Russian and Norwegian sleigh bells; sheep bells and cow bells and a wooden, hand-carved water buffalo bell from the island of Bali.
Wilhelm began collecting bells in 1940. He was operating a service station at the time and had a rather extensive museum in connection. Tourists used to spend hours poking among the relics. One of the visitors gave him a bell, which started, the collection.
The iceman’s flair for display was acquired quite naturally. He ran away from home when he was 16 and joined a circus, selling peanuts and popcorn. He worked for Campbell Brothers, Colins Brothers, and finally the big show, Ringling Brothers.
Wilhelm's prescription for happiness is "start a collection." Collect anything he says. Once Wilhelm had a collection of automobile license plates which covered the whole issue in Wyoming from the very first.
In proof of the effectiveness of Wilhelm’s prescription, there’s a twinkle in his eye, a pixy-like fix of curiosity about his mouth, and a general facial expression which says he knows you’re kidding him but he is letting you talk on anyhow.

The Ottawa Braves will attempt to hurdle the first of two obstacles to their third consecutive Kansas Conference crown to-night as they take on Murray Brown's College of Emporia Pres-bies.
There is still a very possible chance that the Braves will have to share or even relinquish their league leadership. If they get by the Presbies tonight the Bravos will have to meet Baker next week. The Wildcats are still in the running for the title, and, on the basis of their impressive 15-6 trouncing of Wally Forsberg’s improving Kansas Wesleyan crew last week, must rate as a possibility to beat Ottawa.
A good line of the Wildcat's ability compared to Ottawa will be ascertained tonight as Baker meets Central (Mo.), a team that previously racked the Braves 6-0.
Bethany can stay in the race by beating Bethel tomorrow. The Gray Maroons lost to C. of E. last week in a high scoring game 42-19, Southpaw Dan Durand was the big gun for the Presbiss toss-ing three scoring aerials and returning a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown.
Basketball practice for the McPherson College Bulldogs will start Monday, November 14, with five lettermen from last season's squad that won seven of 22 games reporting to head coach Forrest (Frosty) Hardacre.
Topping the list will be Lyle Goering and Bob Odle, seniors back for their fourth season as Bulldogs. Both are from McPherson High School and have lettered since the '46-'47 season.
Two players have won two cage monograms, Ron Sullivan and Herb Bruns. The six foot four inch Bruns also had a year's experience in '47 but did not letter.
The other lettermen is Glen Pyle who transferred from Central College last season and started most of the games for the '49 Bulldogs. Pyle's head injury received early in the football season is not expected to deter him any for the cage sport.
Also expected out is Gene Arnold, who did not letter in ‘49 but did win his M the previous year.
Departed from the ranks are the Bulldog's top scorers of '49,
Tonight on the Junction City High School gridiron the McPherson College Bulldogs will wind up their 1949 football season against the tough, experienced Ft. Riley Centaur eleven.
Playing their last game in Bulldog moleskins will be Carroll Tillman, Vernon Blickenstaff, Galen Webb, Harry Heckethorn, Gene Arnold, and Ron Sullivan. A leg injury received in the Bethel game has already written finis to the collegiate career of a seventh senior, George Holloway.
The two co-captains Tillman and Blickenstaff, will be playing their fourth season for the Bulldogs. Tillman has lettered since ’46, and Blickenstaff has won a monogram three times, missing out in ’48 because of an arm in-jury.
Jim Schroeder scored two of Bethel's touchdowns against Emporia to tie Bethany's Bill Carlson for individual scoring leadership with 42 points. Carlson also counted twite in the Swedes 75-13 shellacking of McPherson last week.
Vaughn Kimbrough of Ottawa is second with 36 points and Boyce Smith, who matched Durand's 93 yard kickoff return last week, is third with 30 points.
In scoring for all games it stands: Carlson, 54; Kimbrough, 48; and Smith and Schroeder, 42.
The McPherson College Bulldog's record-in-reverse (the 64-0 shellacking by Baker September 30) lasted just 36 days at they took it on the chin 75-13 from the Bethany Swedes last Friday.
The Swedes scored touchdowns by almost every conceivable method as they scored twelve of the sixteen times they had their hands on the ball.
The Swedes scored three touchdowns in every period and added one conversion in the first and third periods on Wallace Bemore and Bob Gerard's placekicks and one in the second stanza on a McClure-Bale pass.
The Bulldogs scored twice in the final period. Freshman Bill Seidel grabbed a Swede fumble in mid-air and hot footed 93 yards for the score. Seidel also converted.
Chuck Petefish smothered the fumble after the Swedes miscued on the kickoff and the Bulldogs moved 39 yards for the next touch-down. A 13 yard puss from Pete-fish to Seidel and an 11 yard rush over tackle by Gene Arnold were the big yardage caters. Arnold went over from the two.
The Swedes hit 10 of 17 passes while the Bulldogs were basketing but 4 of 23, Arnold completed but one in 17 attempts. Sophomore Bill Carlson of the Swedes was the rushing star with 124 yards in 12 carries.
Bob Odle
Verlyn Fisher and Don Peters. Fisher graduated after four brilliant seasons and Peters transferred to Emporia State.
The Bulldog schedule has not been completed yet by Hardacre, but the first game probably will be in the second or third week of December. Sterling will probably be the opponent.
Heckethorn and Webb have been line stalwarts for the past two years. Both have played tackle this season, but Heckethorn performed at guard last year.
Sullivan and Arnold, the perennial buddies from the Illinois-In-diana sector, are finishing their third season in red and white livery. Both came to MC in ’47 with Rolla Reiling, who was Bulldog coach for one season, and both have performed capably in the backfield since then. Although they have played but three seasons, this figures to be their last as Sully and Gene plan on graduating at the end of summer school this year.
