THE concert Of Viennese music has
always proved one of the most
popular programs arranged by Dr.
Kinder and is a fitting tribute to the
perennial importance Of Vienna in
musical history. It will be recalled
that this city was the birthplace OF
Schubert, Lanner and the two Johann
Strauss. Beethoven and Brahms
adopted it as q second home. Gluck,
Mozart, Haydn, Bruckner, Hugo Wolf
and Mailer are all associated with the
Austrian capital and are all buried
there. Richard Strauss has settled
there and it continues to be an i'm
portant center Of musical life, for in
modern times Arnold Schoenberg and
Alban Berg have done much of their
work in that city.
In the popular mind Vienna and the
waltz have become almost synonymous.
In the early part of the 10th century
the composition Of waltzes for dancing
was almost entirely in the hands of
Viennese composers. Johann Strauss
the elder introduced the custom of
naming waltzes and 1t was in Vienna
under the Strauss family that the
waltz became fixed in the form we
know it today-an introduction usually
IN slow tempo. followed by several
separate waltzes ending with a bril-
liant coda reviewing the best numbers.
The Johann Strauss on today's pro-
gram was the eldest son Of the famous
waltz composer and is an exception
to the general rule that 4 son bearing
the name OF renowned father can
not make his own mark in the world.
The younger Strauss lived from 1925

art are among the finds made in
Kiev by an expedition of the Insti-

Scene of the discoveries is a settle
ment of the so-called Tripolje Gull
ture of the Neolithic period in the
Kiev region.
Other finds included various do
mestic utensils, stone and bone hoes.
and great number of flint knives.
Several of the objects found were
used in the performance of religious
rites, and among these were some
ornamented clay vessels and sacrifi-
cial cauldrons filed with animal
bones.
Small statues of female figures.
executed with great artistic taste.
also were unearthed.
The discovery of domestic ami
mails and agricultural implements
indicates that agriculture and cattle
breeding had been highly developed
toward the end of the Stone age.

Community Fund

The WyandOtte- Trenton community
fund drive led all OF the other metro

il was revealed in the victory dinner
report given at the Hotel Sta tier last
week. While the drive will be about
$1,000 short Of its $4,000 goal. the
report showed that local solicitors will
have secured increases above last
years gifts i'm most divisions of the
drive.
In spite of the failure to reach the
goal, Ii Is felt by leaders of the drive
that the results show evidence of real
faith in the community fund and the
agencies which il supports. In behalf
of the campaign committee | wish to
thank the citizens of WyandOtte and
Trenton for their generous support OF
this drive said George T. Wilbur,
general chairman Of the campaign.
The average contributor seemed to
forget business conditions of the past
year and dug deeper than ever in his
pockets to help this cause. While we
are unable to give enough credit To
each of the 115 volunteers who worked
az solicitors, feel that in this holiday
season Wyandotte and Trenton owe
them real debt of gratitude.
II Is expected that last years con
trfbutiOns will be exceeded by more
than 10 per cent in the general bust

England.
The flea farms are in the country
far from London and were set up
after it was accidentally discovered
that fieas can be kept frozen for
some time without harm.
Frozen fieas look rather like
brown sugar. "Fleas in aspic," they
are called. Six cents worth, spread
on fine gauze, contain thousands of
Heas. Thrown into the warm water
of the tank. they soon come to life.
They are considered to be the best
food for tropical fish.
