 For '39 Season

It may be the cold weather which has prevailed this spring, or it may be that anglers have found it's easier to drop into a market and buy their fish but at any rate, there aren't as many Waterbury fishermen this year as last.
 Figures at the town clerks office show that only 769 Wa terburians took out fishing li- censes up to and including April 30. At that date last year, there had been no less than 1,019 licenses issued.
 The fishing season began April 15 in this state, but only about three-fourths as many local fishermen have the legal right to fish this year as last.

When the oratorio, Resurrection" by Dom Lorenzo Perosi, musical df- rector of the Sistine chapel in Rome was given its recent worldwide radio premiere over National Broad casting company networks, it marked the 10th anniversary of the first performance of the work and the 40th anniversary of Perosi's appoint ment as conductor of the Sistine Chapel choir.
 One of the many special religious features arranged by NEG, the ora torio was presented by the Sistine choir and the Vatican orchestra, di- rected by the composer, who has held the post of musical director since 1898.
 Written originally as one of tril. ogy of oratorios, which were per formed with enormous success ir Italy, England and France betweer 1897 and 1899, Resurrection" wa! revised by Perosi in 1923 for per formance under Molinari at thu Augusteum in Rome. Perosi ha' composed very little since the re-

vision of the work and has lived ir practically complete retirement and seclusion.
 One of the most prolific composers of church music in history. Perosi, who was constituted Perpetual Master of the Pontifical Chapel''. by a decree of the pope in 1905, decided to turn his efforts toward serious composition shortly following his or- dination as priest in 1896. Playing the organ at the historical Abbey of Montecassino one Christi mas night, he suddenly and impet- uously threw away the music before him and in moment of inspiration, broke into original melodies, much tc the delight of all the brothers pres- ent. This incident determined his destinys and he embarked on a career that was to result in tre- mendous improvement in church ! music.
