The Seaforth News, 1960-12-08, Page 2Great jazzman Tells
Of Long Career
"That night, I gueee 1 was the
richest kid in New Orleans You
efouldn't have bought- me for a
Sky full of now moons, and 1
VasC years old."
As the late Sidney Beehet re
mills it in "Treat it Gentle," his
autobiography published recent.
ly, this was the beginning of his
long, great career as a jazzman,
'Ie had borrowed his brother
Leonard's clarinet and held his
own in an impromptu jam ees-
seen With Freddie Keppard's
band. "VII never forget that fel
Ing I had back there in the kit-
ehen with those men, playing
along," Bechet explained. "Those
men, they were masters. They
wally gave me the feeling of he -
Ing discontented until I'd be able
to work regular with them." -
Bechet did not stay Content-
ed for long. From an under -aged
elarinetist in his brother's band
---- sent home early to be put to
bed — h went on to become
one of his profession's most styl-
ish virtuosos on the soprano
saxophone and, in the last decade
of his life (1)41-59), the idol of
the French jazz world, 'Treat
It Gentle" (assembled via the
eapeerevording process which re-
taptured the life and times of
.Telly Roll Morton) also reveals
Bachet as a man of unusual sen-
eitivity and rare imagination.
The early chapters of the book
Cor example. are indelibly mark-
ed by the impact of a man he
never knew: Omar, a slave who
was ehot to death atter being une
justly accused of raping a white
• girl. Omar's. song of leve Inc his
Negro eweetheart, says Beehet,
was "quiet and Inc oir, but it was
everywhere inside him." Beehet's
father was the son Omar never
lived to see; his mother was an
octoroom Why, 13echet asked his
mother when he was very young,
"did you marry that black man?"
Nis mother, he notes was "an aw-
ful understanding woman .
She just looked at me and said,
'Well, your father, when I saw
him, he was wearing such pretty
shoes. I just saw those shoes, and
be was dancing so well. All I
could see was the shoes and how
he was dancing, and I MI in
love with him'."
Beehet made the first of his.
many trips abroad in 19111. when
he went to England with Will
Marion Cook and his orchestra,
A high point was a Command
Performance- he played at Buck- •
ingham Palace. "I didn't know
what to expect," he recalled,
"but the way it turned out, it
was just bigger than another
place; it was like Grand Central
Station with a lot of carpets and
things on the walls. Only it had
more doors."

ney, writes Eleanor Richey John-
ston in the Christian Science

Slowpoke Danger
On Our Highways
speed kills, the signs tell its,
and nn one who values his own
life and the safety of others on
the highway will argue that
strict enforcement of our speed
laws is not needed. But speed is
not the only highway mentlee,
Ansi it is good to see that local
authorities are finally consider-
ing a 31 -mile an hour minimum
for Waterson Expressway.
For an the modern, high-speed,
heavy-traFfic expressway, the
slowpoke, though he is less of
a threat to his own safety, is as
great a menace to others as the
speed fiend, He blocks and
slows traffic. He fasces other
drivers to slovv or stop sueldeu-
ly, often at the risk of being hit
from behind, And because he
generally retards the flow of
traffic, be defeats the purpose
of the costly express highway.
Furthermore, there is some-
thing about slowpokes that makes
them want to drive either in the
left-hand lane or in the middle
of the road, where they stall
traffic altogether or cause other
drivers to take nerve-wracking
chances in order to pass on the
wrong side.
A minimum speed limit can be
fairly easily enforced. The prob-
lem of the wrong -lane artist is
more difficult. It seems a shame
to have to waste the time and ef-
forts of patrolmen on these
nuisances, but we suspect that -
nothing but a concerted educa-
tion campaign will work,
Louisville Courier -Journal
Like Doughnuts.?
Here's The Recipe
DOUGHNUTS
4 egg yolks (or 2 whole eggs)
1 cup sugar
I4 cup soft shortening
3'4 cup thick buttermilk or sour
milk (if not available usa
sweet milk with a little vine-
gar to thicken it),
31 elms sifted all-purpose flow
2 teaspoons baking powder
I teaspoon sada
teaspoon salt
14 teaspoon nutmeg
la teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
Beat eggs well and add sugar
and shortening. Stir in the sour
milk, then add the dry ingredi-
ents which have been sifted to-
gether. Add the vanilla. Heat fat
to 300° F. (A cube of bread
browns in fat in 40 seconde.)
Doughnuts will absorb Loa
much fat if:
There is too much shortening
in batter, too much sugar in
batter, or if pastry flour is used.
