MUSIC EDUCATORS
 TO HOLD PROGRAM

A program presenting two out standing people in the music edu- cation world will feature the De- cember 7th meeting of the In-and- About New Haven Music Educators Club at Bridgeport Saturday.
 Miss Julia Smith, successful mu- sic supervisor, who is going into full time composition work will ap- pear on the program as guest ar tist Miss Smith graduated from the Juilliard Graduate school where she was awarded a fellowship ill composition under Rubin Goldmark and Frederick Jacobi. Her compoi- tions for symphony orchestra and chamber orchestra have attracted wide attention through. her ability to catch a highly American atmo- sphere in her music.
 The other artist on the program is Ray Harrington of the Greenwich High school music faculty. MT. Harrington is known in and out of Connecticut for his work with chimes. He will be accompanied by a few of his high school students who will assist him in demonstrat- ing the usefulness of tubular chimes in music education. All those present may expect to take part in this program with MT. Harrington.
 The prospect at the time of writ ing is that this program is going to attract the music educators from all over the state as a hearty re- sponse is being accorded the efforts of the president of the In-and- About New Haven Club, Joseph Softer.

An-State Symphony
 Orchestra Planned
Additions Scheduled for Tomorrow in New Haven;
 Will Be Under State NYA Auspices

Kreiner St1'ink Quartet of national repute.
 Commenting on the plans for the formation of the symphony orches- tra. MT Kreiner said. T believe this statewide organization of young musicians will be fine opportun- ity for the musically gifted youth of Connecticut because they will re- ceive first class symphonic experi- ence and the pleasure of playing in large symphony orchestra. It is the desire of this project not to in- terfere with school duties or orches- tral groups previously organized. While this orchestra will be state wide in scope, we have selected New Haven as the headquarters because of it's being a center of musical in- terests, and because of the loca- ton of the state office of tn Ma tional Youth Administration. I am greatly encouraged by the interest shown on the part of leading musi- clans and educational authorities in the state in this project"
 Additions will be conducted in
 NCW 11dfCI III GI4C duNAlIO14 4ulll Ol the Orange street school on Friday, December 6, between the hours of g to 12 a. m., 2 to D. m., and in the evening to 9 o'clock, also on Saturday, December 2, between g to 12 a. m., and to p. m. Only players of symphony instruments will be auditioned. This excludes, for instance, piano, guitar, and saXophone. Applicants must bring their instruments, music stand and the music they desire to play In addition to the playing of music of their own choice, they will be required to read at sight excerpts from symphony repertory, the music for which will be provided. Appli- cants must be between the ages of 17 and "A, and will work fifty hours a month. Section leaders will be appointed by the director and may be older but must be musicians of exceptional music ability.
 Musicians who would like the opportunity of serious symphonic education and participation, and who qualify artistically but who are not in need of employment are eligible to become members of this orchestra on volunteer basis after 1 submitting to an addition. There are no restrictions regarding race, color or sex. There are no relief require ments. Orchestral experience is valuable but not one of the most important requisites. Talent is more important than experience.
 Commenting on this MT. Barrett said, T feel confident that we can build up symphony orchestra that will be a unique expression of vii tality, enthusiasm and originality of American youth today. The idea of an all-Connecticut youth orchestra 1 is to create musical organization composed of both IVA youth and non-NYA youth, which will raepre- sent the whole state and will pre- sent the opportunity to our young people to further their musical ad- Vancement which otherwise would not be provided for"

be exploited in proportion to Japan's advance as manufacturing coun- try.
 No western power covets terri torial control in China or political domination over any part of that country. Russia, however, has both these ambitions.
 Any important extension of Rus sian power over the Chinese, how ever, would be seriously detrimental to Japan. Not only would the Jap anese feel the rivalry in gaining ac- cess to China,s raw materials, but also there would be the danger of communiStic repercussions.
 Japan Would Feel It.
 The political character of Russian encroachment in China, indeed would be more seriously felt by the Japanese than Russian territorial advance because the Japanese are convinced communism aims at the overthrow of the Japanese national structure. Japan's national survival is threatened by no western rivalry
 It is threatened potentially, how ever, by the Russians. Russia is forever awaiting a possible oppor- tunity to work her will against the Japanese, politically and territorial ly. Japan, it would seem, can Fl afford to weaken herself by western involvements while Russia conserves her strength for future use.

eco ROLLS NOW OPEN FOR JAN.
Programs of Various Camps Being Fitted to
 National Defense Needs

Civilian Conservation Corps Se- lecttng agencies throughout the State of Connecticut are now ac- cepting applications for selections of young men for enrolment in the eco during the month of January, 194l.
 The Civilian Conservation Corps is now definitely fitting it's work, training and educational programs into the national defense program. The programs will bring defense training facilities to all CCC camps in the State and opportunities to eco enrollees to participate in training activities in a wide variety of subjects directly related to the national defense. In addition, the camps will continue the usual train ing of young men in the mainten- ance and operation of automotive and mechanical equipment, training in radio communications, mechanics, cooking, truck driving, photography, drafting, handling of explosives, road building, surveying, bridge and dam construction. Grammar and High School equivalency.
 Present Corps members and young men entering are not any more liable to military service than the civilian who is not a Corps member. CCC training definitely af- lords members an advantageous po- Sition over the non-CorpS members so that at such time as conscrip- tion brings them into the Army ranks they are equipped with con- Structive work habits, regimentation, respect for authority and specific educational training which will aS- sist them in that service or in pri- vate industry. |.
 Any young man IT to g years Of age, unemployed and in need of em- ployment, is eligible to apply for en- rollment. Young men in this age group should seriously consider the opportunities the Civilian Conserva- ton Corps offers in acquiring phy- sical build-up and educational train ing which will prepare them for jobs in the Navy, Army and private industry.
 All young men interested should apply at once to the local selecting ageat of the town in which they live, as the enrolment is limited.
