 The news of the passing of the Reverend Felix J. O'Neill brings a keen sense of loss to The Courant, which has 50 often been privileged to print his verse. A sturdy patriot as well as Q devoted and able priest, he turned his facile pen to the ser- vice of his country and of his church. One recalls his memorials to George Washington and Nathan Hale and his reconstruction of the Battle o fFort Griswold, but three of the many poems of his that ap- peared on this page, as one remem- bers his many verses on the Chris tian's duty.
 As. he implied in the title of one of his books, Poems for Many Minds, his interests were many and varied. Until the infirmities of ad- vancing years forbade vigorous exer- else, he had been an enthusiastic sportsman. A series of "reminiscences wrote some years ago for the mag azine section of The Sunday Cou- rant revealed him as 6 true disciple of 1zaak Walton, Q mellow and Ined- itative observer with Q quick ap- preciation of the quiet beauties that are revealed to the angler. He knew and loved the hills and valleys of his parish: "The scent of the frost, which you and I like so well, is In these verses" he once wrote Q friend.
 For thirty-seven years he had been the beloved pastor of St. Edwards Church in Stafford Springs, known and honored by his neighbors of all faiths. His death removes not only a devoted priest but a respected citizen and Q friend of thousands, many of whom, though they knew him only through his writings, none the less felt the right to lay claim to his friendship. He will be Inourned outside his church as well as in it.

Selected Poem
SHE WAITS FOR SPRING (Edith Lombard squires in the Christian
 Science Monitor)

Now comes late autumn when the earth is dumb And silence broods across the misty field. There is no singing brd no cricketS hum, The frost has passed and every sound is sealed. But length by length filmy thread is spun, A fllament of silver on the grass, And though the winds sharp scissors cuts down one New strands gleam under foot like fairy glass; For with this busyneSs of flying thread, The spider weaves her mantle, fold by fold: When winters icy coverlet is spread, She wears c robe of beauty from the cold, And in c crevice wrapped in gatizy lace, She waits for spring in her abiding-place

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS


 New York, Oct. 5-A musician tells about Arturo Toscanini, tempera- mental genius of the baton, who rehearsing his orchestra, suddenly stopped and pointed at the cellist Give me 8 pianissimo," he cried.
 The cellist drew his bow across the strings.
 "Nol No! No!" the maestro shouted. Again the cellist caressed the strings with his bow and again Toscanini shook his head.
 "Now for the last time, give me 8 pianissimo," the conductor order ed. The cellist bent over his instru- ment and drew the bow.
 "Goodl Good!" Toscanini exult- ed. "Why didn't you do that the first timer"
 Later the cellist was asked how he had done 1t. He looked carefully around.
 q didn't touch the strings ct all the last time," he conflded. Swing on Bandwagon
 Talk about biting the hands that feed you-and one thinks of Harold Arlen, Russ Morgan and swing. Arr len is the composer of stormy Weather" and other hits and Russ Morgan is Q top flight bandleader. Both these gentlemen have been making a plush-lined living from music that is what the French call "le jag hot"-or swing to us. So both, through their respective drum beaters, now announce that swing is dying or dead.
 This is comparable to @ garment manufacturer advocating nudism and would be totally incomprehen- sible If 1t were not for the old say- ing: T don't care what you write about me, only get my name in the paper"
 A musical expert who doesn't need the space, takes the opposite stand. He declares that swing can't die, though the name might change. They used to call 1t syncopation, (remember?) then "hot licks." Un- der any other name, 1t still si swing. Love without Price
 Maybe love is worth $2,00O,OO0, as Judith Allen claimed when she de- manded that amount as balm for loss of Jack Doyle's affections. Your correspondent can tell you confid- entially, though, that the poor, per- secuted Irish Thrush always has placed love of Miss Allen above momentary consideration.
 Your correspondent was Doyles fellow-passenger abroad the Nor- mandie recently, and remembers vividly the ships concert in which Adonis-like Doyle stole the show when he dedicated song to his dearly, beloved wife who ever was in his thoughts" while she fingered in Hollywood and he sailed the high seas. He sang 70 Sole Mio," believe.
 It was a sweet, sentimental mo- i1ent for all who sat at the ships concert that evening and heard the heartsick pulilist make his ro- mantle avowalS in public.
 But disillusion Inent set in the next morning when our ships paper callously informed us, via Q special, radioed dispatch, that Miss Judith Allen had just instituted suit for an annulment of marriage from her love-stricken swain.
