polished finesse that make for the
highest degree of beauty in this
exacting art. Their playing is at
times quite jerky and individualistic.
The most satisfying number was the
Beethoven Quartet in e Minor, Opus
SO, No. g." which was written in the
first Of three periods of that great
composer, and has the merry, light
mood first established by Haydn.
Schubert's Quartet in G Major,
Opus 161," which opened the pro-
gram, was tedious, with the most
notable passages being those OF the
third movement, in which the cello
takes the melodic theme and has
the dominant position in its develop
ment. Both these classical works
were well chosen to give the modern,
featured number every opportunity
to be heard to best advantage.
The Prokof1eff wonk seems to have
one chord that really unites the four
instruments ever so often in a recur-
ring melodic passage Aside from
that the work gives the impression
OF cleverly compiled mass of sounds
with varied tempos and with each of
the four players madly racing along
his own part totally regardless of his
three companions. After hearing
Prokofieff's new quartet for strings
one recalls the more wildly that 1t
is his piano and operate works that
have won him greatest renown
rather than symphonic or string
compositions. B. T.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Once more we have with us that season of the year when our thoughts turn from the material to the worth while things in life.
 Christmas brings its own mes sage of peace, happiness and good will toward our fellow creatures which no other time of the year seems to express.
 While the joy and happiness of the Yule Tide is uppermost in our thoughts, we must not forget the call of the needy. While the dis tress and want which is so acute in many of our large cities today is only present in Wrangell in a small way, still We have with us some who may need a helping hand.
 I am sure that all Wrangell will enjoy Christmas in a greater meas uIS II We al SUI tAdb IAS4S AS AC person ill our community who is in want.
 I wish to take this opportunity of appealing to the citizens of Wrangell to lend a helping hand to those who may not be so fortu- ately situated as yourselves.
 If we who can, will see to it that there is not an empty larder in our little town; that everyone is taken care of as We would wish to be, should we be less fortunate, then We will all know and appre- ciate a truly Merry Christmas.
