SONGBIRD EYES RANCH Jose Mojica of Mexico and Grand Opera Says He'll Co Back to Former Your Children Are Watching You the fathers and tnothers \vho are too busy to take an active interest in sotne church the question might be asked, "V\T hat \vould ·,ve give to have an absolute guaranty · of the future \Yelfare and happiness of our children?" Ninety-nine per cent of us would ans\ver that \Ve would give all \ve have in this \\'Orld for such a guaranty. And yet ho\\' n1any of us fail year after year to take any interest in, or gh·e any actiYe support to, the Church, the surest guarantor on earth. )(our children deserve and need your interest and you owe to then1 as \veil as .to the church. Encourage your children in this 'vork by taking an active interest \vith then1 in the Church of your choice on and after next Sunday. Begin and continue the ne\v year in the only safe way. 1~o ;t's a long, long way from the dusty c:lrrals cf a ~.{exican cattle ranch to stardom in grand opera, but Jose Mojica, 31-year-old tenor of the Chicago Civic Opera company, made the . journey in less than three years. Anq now that he has been for half a decade firmly established as an artist -a singer whose name and voice are known the length and breadth of the North American continent-he wants to go back. Senor Mojica who will appear in concert on January 7 at Haven auditorium, Evanston, recently explained his bucolic yearning to a group of fellow songbirds declaring that when he has amassed by singing enough to retire on, the concert halls and theaters will know him no more. "From my earliest days my parents intended me to be a haciendas-a rancher," he said, "and when my father died in my early childhood, my mother decided that if I were to be a successful rancher I should be college trained in agricultural engineering. "So I was sent to school in Mexico City, and enrolled in the National School of Agriculture when I had. finished the lower grades. I loved the study of agriculture, and would have gone to a ranch on the completion of my course had not operatic artists who heard me sing d.eclare that I had a career in grand opera that would mean from both a financial and cultural standpoint much more than the life of a rancher."
