Life is worth what we make il
worth.
Evening star., 1940-11-03

concerts were possible only in city
with its own symphony orchestra.
In that first season, 26 concerts
we're given, the two concerts above
the original plan being out Of town.
But the problems of the young
orchestra were just beginning. The
end of the season came and plans
had to be made for another year.
1t still had to be proven that the
orchestra had become a part Of
Washington, permanent institu-
ton rather than a one-season trial.
Second Season Donors.
That second season 402 donors
contributed to the sustaining fund.
The season was assured, but the
struggle to build a repertoire in
the face of disheartening odds
went on.
There were no extra dollars for a
low bassoon or a bass clarinet, no
extra rehearsals, no assured living
wage; gifted players accepted jobs
from richer orchestras. Sometimes
musicians had to continue with
other jobs, too, because the sustain
ing fund wasn't large enough to
allow yearly pay.
And there was music that couldn' t
be played for lack of sufficient mu-
sicians-the overture to Tristan
and Isolde" Don Quixote," some
of Debussy, Ravel and Sibelius.
Each year as the repertoire of the
orchestra grew the number of sub
scribers grew with it. Each year a
hardy group of men and women
went through the arduous weeks of
campaigning to give the orchestra
another year of life.
The third season 760 donors SUBJ
scribed; the fourth year, about
l,l00; the fifth year, approximately
l,400. In the sixth year over 1900
people subscribed to the sustaining
fund.
To increase the growing audience
OF symphony-lovers DR.. Kinder in
1885 introduced the Sunset SYM
phonies." Given by cooperative
group Of musicians in 1886 and
skipped, for financial reasons, in
1887, they were resumed by the Ma
tional Symphony in 1888 and again
in 1889. For the first time, this year,
the summer concerts could be an
nounced as a certainty. at the be-
ginning of the drive, provided the
campaign goal was reached. They
were underwritten by an anonymous
donor.
To many Washingtonians, the
Sunset symphonies" are the prin-
cipal benefit derived from the or
chestra. To thousands of residents
who must remain here through the
sticky July and August, the We'd
nesday and Sunday night concerts
are blessed diversion.
Grand Opera Given.
Last year for the first time, a
grand opera, Puccini's Madame
Butterfly" was given during the
Evening star., 1940-11-03

and the five years have resulted in
great improvements in speed, range,
altitude and payload.
Up to the beginning of this
month, the United States Army has
had So Flying Fortress bombers ac-
tually in service. They are of three
different models in the series.
During October, however, de-
Hveries were begun by the Boeing
Aircraft Co. of Seattle, Wash,
under a contract for 80 additional
Flying Fortresses. This order will
be composed of two new models.
The first SO are to be of the Bite
type and the final AZ of a more
advanced B-17D model.
Twelve of the order, delivered
during October, now are ready to
go into service and the entire lot
of 38 "C's" is to be delivered before
the end of November, approximately
a month ahead of schedule. The
last of the AZ "D's" will be delivered
next March or April, instead Of
next August, as provided in the
terms of the contract.
But the ID" is not the latest word
in Flying Fortresses. Still another
and even more advanced version,
the BITE, is on the way and the
Army Air Corps, under the emer-
gency national defense program,
has ordered them built on a mass
production basis. The first of the
E models will roll of the Boeing
production line next March or
April, following completion Of q
factory expansion program-actu-
ally a series Of expansions-now in
progress at Seattle.
Spectacular Record.
The Flying Fortress is what .
Hollywood press agent undoubtedly
would christen glamour airplane." "
Its history from the start has been
consistently colorful and spectacu-
lar.
A little more than five years ago
the original factory version of this
22-ton, four-engined airplane made
its first flight. After the factory
trials it established the first Of an
amazing series of records when Les
Towers, Boeing test pilot, flew the
experimental model from Seattle to
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, nom
stop, in 9 hours, a new record for
the course. He finished with enough
spare fuel to have flown on to
Florida.
The experimental model, how
ever, met Ill fortune; 1t was burned
Evening star., 1940-11-03

during test flight at Dayton. This
is the only one of these great air.
planes which has been lost from
any cause. Every one which has
been built since that original model
still is in active service-believed to
be another record for any type of
aircraft.
Satisfied with the results of the
uncompleted tests of the original
model, the Army Air Corps ordered
13 of the big ships for service-test
purposes enough to equip one
squadron, with one spare. These
airplanes were given the Army des-
1gnation "Y1B-17"-the Y designat-
ing them as being on service-test
status, the first numeral a series
designation, the B standing for
bombardment and the numeral "17'
showing that it was the 17th type
of bombardment airplane acquired
by the Air Corps.
Twelve of the Y1B-17 airplanes
were delivered to the Air Corps
before improvements in design re-
suited in remodeling of the last
airplane in the contract lot This
was designated Y1B-l7A and was
the only one of its kind manufac-
tured.
Broke Into News.
During 1897 these Flying Fort
resSes really began to break into
the news. Col. Robert Olds, Army
Air Corps, then commanding the
I'd Bombardment Group, General
Headquarters Air Force, Langley
Field, Va, to which the first planes
were assigned, established new
speed records in both directions
across the United States during
the course of routine operations.
They made their international
debut in February, 1888, when Col.
Olds led a formation Of six OF them
on the famous good will" flight
to Buenos Aires to participate in
the ceremonies in connection with
the Inauguration Of Robert M. Ortiz
as President Of Argentina.
Col. Olds and his 48 officers and
men flew from Langley Field to
Miami, and then, after an overnight
stop, flew $500 miles in a day and
a half with one stop, to the utter
amazement of the worlds military
leaders. The big bombers overnight
won themselves an eternal resting
place IN the Aviation Hall OF
Records.
From Miami, the bombers new
