its premiere Tuesday night when it
was accorded an enthusiastic re-
Ception by the large audience which
filled the studio rooms.

additional interest resulting from
the comments by the two artists
relative to the composers and the
particular numbers presented

short. informal, IF ! Knew You

served to break the ice and was
followed by two descriptive piano
numbers by Mrs Reid. compositions
by the well known modernist, HON.

Negro Compositions
In contrast, Mrs. Waterman sang
three Negro compositions, one a
spiritual and two modern numbers,
one of the latter being from Gersh-
wins "Porgy And Bess'
Two American Indian songs fol-
lowed, Mrs. Waterman singing a
Yosemite Indian melody transcribed
by Lehman and a brilliant colera-

.BLEICH DEFEATS
 DAUCH AT CHAMP
Mayor Elected at Matau- cha After One Day of
 Campaigning

Everyday events of camp life took back seat yesterday at Camp Mataucha, Y camp at Smiths pond, Watertown, as the boys devoted the day to tense mayoralty campaign and election. Packed into one day were most of the campaign maneu- vers which occupy politicians for months before actual elections.
 The opposing candidates were Edmund Bleich, who won the elec- ton and Fred Dauch, who finished g strong second. Their respective campaign managers were Jack Fin- lay and Joseph Reilley.
 The platforms on which the two candidates stood were similar in spirit, but Bleich took advantage of rather general terms in framing his
 "a promise that he would make the camp a better place to live in. Dauch made the mistake of being too specific, promising to give out free ice cream, abolish siesta and detail periods, and lengthen the swimming periods.
 A@sSAtAA AhsSA uCAA 0CtAVC ouHpOkt OA Donald Slator, William Perry, Fred Thornley, Jack Platt and Robert Mclean; Dauch's supporters con- sisted of William Judd, Jack Hoff- man, Benjamin Coe and James Watkins. Both groups held rallies in the evening, after which the election was held. After the results had been received and tabulated. Bleich led a torchlight procession to headquar- ters porch, where he was presented with the key to Camp Mataucha by Gal Martin, camp director.
 James Won Daacke and Russell Hensell passed boating tests and the canoe tests was passed by Eu- gene Bross.
 Tomorrow afternoon open house will be held at the camp and all per- sons interested in it are invited to visit the camp between 3 and 6 o'clock. The campers will stage e special aquatic meet for the visitors and will demonstrate their activities in nature lore, handicraft and games.
