JAN DANFORD It is perfectly true that I purchased a small electric organ .'shortly betore Christmas. It is also true that I loathe contemporary music, jazz, blues and old standards as played on tte organ. To me,,n org ,eiongs in a cfend ' preferably in a cathedral. As my mobile home falls into neither of those categories my readers might well wonder why 1 bought an organ. So do I. What 1 wanted was a piano. However, fate and a classified ad conspired to bring to my attention this terrific bargain. A little piano would cost me a small fortune, and this organ was priced considerably lower. In addition, it was 'even smaller than a little piano and would displace less furniture in my long and lean abode. So 1 bought it, and with the help of my Number Two Son the organ was delivered to my doorstep, maneuvered through the meager portal, eased along the narrow hallway and ultimately positioned against a wall after I had banished two tables. I tested a key here and there and toed a tentative pedal. I grabbed a handful of chords and pressed gently with my right leg against the side lever that controls the volume. .... Ithas been years since I ha'e played piano, and even my first was never very good. However, it was with the utmost confidence that I approached this many splendored thing. "I'11 play 'Silent Night,'" I announced. The reason for my choice was threefold. First of all, my Number Two Son is religious, and I wished to cater to his taste; in the second place, the music was suited to the Christmas season; last but not least, 'Silent Night' can be rendered with only three chords and I felt that this might be within my powers. Oh, what a brave start I made! My right hand found an F major chord and my left hand followed suit. My left foot found the corresponding base pedal, and my right knee nudged the volume control to produce a and threw myself wholeheartedly into my work, reveling in the reverent and holy sounds springing to life beneath my out-of-practice fingers. This, alas, was my undoing! I forgot about my left foot, which inadvert'antly tr'od UpOn a"G pedal when my right hand was still clinging to the old F major. My left hand went into a state of shock and hit a C augmented which threw me into such utter panic that I accidentally leaned too hard on the volume lever and that blasted organ skirled like a demented bagpipe. I am ashamed to say that right in the middle of this sacred music and in front of my church-going son, I blasphemed. 'I cursed roundly for several seconds before the red mist cleared from my vision and I ceased the pounding of my fists upon the keyboard and lifted timid eyes to the stern face of Number Two Son. "Mother," he said, "for the sake of your immortal soul I would suggest that you trade this organ for a piano." mellifluous outpouring of sound. * * * "Well," said Number Two I smiled smugly at Number I was seated one day Son, "play something! Two Son, who had really at the organ when "In due time," 1 assured lfim. expected me to be thrown for a my fingers idly strayed Together we studied the large loss. I executed a beautiful and I pounced upon chart that explained the various change of chords with no trouble the wierdest chord paraphernalia of the instrument, whatsoever. I relaxed even more that I have ever played. Health experts explain fiber If you've been listening to the health experts, you've probably decided to add more fiber to your diet. But how? Mason County Extension Agent Ruth VanDeRiet states that without much effort, you can add cracked wheat, bulgur and bran - all whole wheat products -- to your daily diet. Cracked wheat is simply that ..... the whole wheat kernel has been cracked into small pieces. When soaked, cracked wheat doubles in volume. You can add the soaked wheat to cookies and nut breads for a crunchy, nutty texture. Bulgur has about the same texture as cracked wheat; however, it's been precooked to cut preparation time. It also absorbs twice its weight in water. Use bulgur, dry, in pilaf and soup. Soaked bulgur adds fiber to salads, desserts, breads and many dishes, including casseroles, cereals and stuffing. Bran is simply the outer layer of the wheat kernel. Add bran cereals to muffins, breads, biscuits and other baked products. In vain I've searched beneath the keys and also in between and I've perused the written score where no such chord was seen. I've looked behind the organ and I've pUlled'the pedals loose; I've flipped each tab and turned each knob. Alas! It's just no use! I cannot find that caustic chord and yet I know it lurks somewhere within the mysteries by which that organ works. I'll plumb that organ's dreary depths and probe its foul insides to crush that chord if I can Fred the nook in which it hides. I dare not touch the keyboard and the organ now is stilled. I'll never play again until that chord is caught and killed. Pre.In ventory Clearance • Upholstery Fabrics • Drapery Fabrics • Bedspreads "Much more. Y') Draperies and Interiors 426-6207 113 S.
