beer was at hand to hurry down some of
the food which was a bit hot for some of
th ose raised north of the Border.

hints for phono graph operators several
workable ideas were mentioned and dis-
cussed on how to cut down location calls
and thus save on tires.

Nazis Use Musit In War
NEW YORK- The dominant, compelling
part music can play in wartime was shown
in 1940 when th e Nazis took over Oslo,
Norway, a ci'ty of 250,000.
The Nazis mesmerized the civilians with
rollicking songs, American dance tunes and
German waltzes. A 12-piece Nazi band
struck up in front of Parliament for the
most amazin g concert the capital had ever
seen. " Roll Out the Barrel" was the most
popular ditty and the Osloans became",so
wrapped up in the concerts they thought
little of the fact that a mere 1500 troops
were holding the city.
The Germans shrewdly used mu'sic ' to _
keep civilians entertained and to help a
handful of troops hold Oslo until 20,000
additional troops could be moved up to take
over the city. " Roll Out th e Barrel" thus
became th e dirge of Oslo's independence.
