CONCERT WASA X
 MUSICAL TREAT
TOscha Seidel and Nora Fauchald Present Art-
 istic Program

The Community Concert associa- ton of Waterbury presented Toscha Seidel, noted vioiinist, and Nora Fauchald, soprano, in a pleas ing program last night at Bucking- ham hall. Mr Eeidel had been heard here some years ago, and Miss Fauchald has a following not only in the east but also in other parts of the country.
 The violinist in his program numbers last night showed a very definite technique in the varied in- tricacies of violin performance. His selections were happily chosen to satisfy in their pleasing interpreta- ton and in the technical structure of what he played. His program displayed the wide range of his skill on his instrument whether in the old dance forms of "Sicilienne ct Rigaudon" or in the more dash- ing type of the two Spanish dances with which he closed his program.
 The dignity and precision of Beethoven's music was noted in his opening Romance in F Major, opus 50"; "Allegretto" by Luigi Boccherini was negotiated with grace and speed; and the above- mentioned dance forms by Fran coeur-Kreisler completed Seiders first group. He later played with broad sweeping tones and then lighter touch in thet wo contrasting pieces "Praeludium and Allegro" by Pugnani- -Kreisler. "Rondino" by Beethoven-Kreisler offered an- other contrast, and Hungarian Dance, No. 1" by Brahms com pleted MT Seidels second group. In his concluding numbers he played "Melodie" by Tschaikowsky. and the two mentioned Spanish dances by Sarasate. MT Seidel gen. erously responded with several en- cores. He was ably assisted at the piano by Herbert Jaffe.
 Miss Morgan presented delight full songs of the lyric type that were well suited to her charming voice. Her program was inter- spersed with Schubert. Mozart, and several contemporary song writers. She has pleasing style and tone quality. She sang in her first group "Alleluia" by Mozart, two Schubert pieces not too often heard, Han filings Liebeswerbung" and "An die Musik," "Des Pas de Sabots" by La Para, and "Seguidille" by De Falla.
 Tn her next group Miss Fauchald sang two songs by Jacques Wolfe, Gods World" and "Sailormen," 'The Piper" by Michael Head, Clouds" sung with a very deli cate and nicely sustained pianis- simo, by Ernest Charles, and ,"Chil- dren of the Moon" by Elinor Remick Warren. George Morgan accompanied Miss Fauchald with artistic finish. Several encores were sung by Miss Morgan includ- ing two request numbers, "The Kerry Dance" and "Dich Teure Halle" by Wagner.

DOG SLED DERBY
 GOES TO QUEBEC
Unemployed Musher to Trek From OttOwa to
 Enter Classic Free

Quebec, Feb "A new medium of exchange has just been estab- lished as a result of he forthcoming International Dogsled Derby, to be run off here Feb 23, 24 and 25. This is "musher money" and constitutes the waiver of entry fee by the Dog sled committee in favor of Norman Coates. unemployed musher of Car lington (Ottawa) Ontario. Coates, lacking cash, wrote to Jack Strath- dee, sports director of the Chateau Frontenac here, and offered to "mush" to 300 odd miles between Darlington and Quebec for a paid up entry fee. Coates further in- tends to carry legend on his sled announcing the 120-mile dogsled classic for the benefit of spectators enroute.
 In accepting Coates offer the successful arrival at Quebec would itself be an important achievement. since he would have to break trail over the greater part of the coun- tryside he is to traverse. Coates would rather follow the highways, but sled dogs invariably become restive when they encounter too many vehicles. The young musher prefers to play safe and keep his harness unentangled.
 once arrived in Quebec, Coates huskies will have gone through the necessary hardening process and should be in fine shape for the rel atively short distance of 120 miles to be covered in three daily relays of 40 miles each. Among Coates rivals for honors at Quebec will be Emile St Goddard, six times winner of the Quebec race; Leonhard Sep pala, the famous Alaskan serum hero, and twenty more mushers re- cruited from all parts of Canada and the United States.

have acquired the knowledge OF
foreign languages that made It
easy for her to work with foreign
organizations for women's suffrage
and peace undertakings. She was
chairman of the international AL
