Keeping in mind the distractions
that too complicated music might
cause in the matter of bodily re-
freshment, which is an important
item in these informal concerts, DR..
kinder had arranged program
pleasantly stimulating and har-
monlous to the ear. It reversed the
customary order in planning the
sequence Of the numbers by taking
the more renowned composers in
their lighter moments for the OPEN
ing group and filling in with titillat-
ing morsels that never fail in pleas
ing. The climax was reached in the
hnal group of Strauss waltzes which
were loudly applauded in a manner
to warrant repetitions of them all,
had time permitted.
In spite of general air on the
part of both orchestra and audience
OF getting acquainted with the new
situation, the first of the pops"
series was distinct success. The
acoustics are not of the best for the
orchestral tone but, on the other
hand, 1t was pleasantly mellow and
not overpoWering in volume. DR..
Kinder kept his men in a mood of
delicate and rhythmic playing that
concealed good musicianShip in cap
sules OF gay and melodic music.
Give the orchestra such numbers as
the Strauss "Pizzacato Polka" and
Thunder and Lightning" (Which
had to be repeateO and you have
all the charm Of delightful dance
music and the fine tone and musical
feeling that the orchestra brings to
more serious works.
The program was ushered In with
Cigars "Pomp and Circumstance,
its stately measures played with so
much dignity as to conjure up Brit
ish crack regiments on parade.
6owerby's softly hued Comes Au-
tumn Time" very timely since
autumn arrived by the calendar this
morning, and Bach's beautiful Air"
were among the finest numbers on
the program. In a group of ex-
cerpts from operas, the Dagger
Dance" from Herbert's "Natoma"
was novelty, since rarely are por-
tions from this interesting work
heard. The most popular of the
Rrias and overtures from Carmen"
formed suite and for a rounding
out OF this group, Summertime"
from Gershwins "Porgy and Bess"
was selected.
The audience fingered after the
conclusion of the program for as
many encores as could be given.
In fact, the honey atmosphere had
had its effect and just as guests in
q house dislike leaving when the
music Is pleasant, food Is being
served and good companions are
at hand, so did last nights audi
ence. Undoubtedly the same pa
irons will be present Thursday eve
ming when the first guest conductor,
Rudolph CAM, and the first soloist,
Elsie Houston, exotic Brazilian So
prano, will be additional cards.

Investigation Urged
To Speed Action
In D. T.. Courts
Lincoln Park Citizens
Hear Complaint Of
Traffic Court Delays

An investigation of courts, aimed
at correcting delays, was asked by
the Lincoln Park Citizens Associa-
ton last night.
Charles G. Gillikan, chairman Of
the associations Traffic Committee,
offered the motion, referring espe-
cially to the Traffic Court, where he
said continuance of cases caused
much waste of time and expense.
The association favored the in
creases sought by the Traffic De-
partment in its 1943 budget esti-
mates.
A. D. Calvert, president, spoke
on the revised plan for future de-
velopment of the city disclosed Sum
day by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. He ex-
pressed opposition to the proposals
affecting the Northeast and South
east areas and promised the citi-
zens a map sketching development
long advocated by Northeast Con-
ference of Citizens Associations and
the Southeast Council of Citizens
Associations would be announced
soon.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion's plan was taken to task for
completely ignoring" wishes of the
citizens for the improvement of
their section of the city. Specific
mention was made by Mr.. Calvert
OF a bridge proposed by the COM
mission from Massachusetts avenue
over the Anacostia River. This
makes East Capitol street a dead
end, he said, instead of continuing
that thoroughfare over the river,
as the citizens associations have long
advocated.
A resolution was approved pro-
testing the low flying of CONNER
clal airplanes over the neighbor-
hood.
The association commended Capt.
Joseph Morgan. of No. police
precinct, for his long record in
clearing up crime cases. In another
resolution Capt. Richard Mansfield
OF No. 9 was congratulated on his
promotion to chief of detectives.
A motion was passed reiterating
the organizations opposition to the
granting of Glass D liquor license
to an establishment at 1857 Benning
road NE. Mrs. Harriet Moose made |
the motion.

ber, was elected secretary.

Vermont Not Member of
Union Until After War

Vermont is so solid and substan-
tial in its qualities that most people
are under the impression that it
was one of the 13 original states.
But it did not become a member
of the Union until March 4. 1871,
$50 years ago.
The first permanent settlement by
the English in what is now Vermont
was made in 1883 at Brattleboro.
Up until the Revolution this re-
gion was known as the New Hamp-
shire Grants. and was claimed by
New Hampshire. Massachusetts,
and New York.
The capture of Ticonderoga and
Crown Point in IT'S by Ethan Allen
and his Green Mountain Boys made
it possible for General Washington
to obtain enough artillery to force
the British to evacuate Boston
nearly year later.
In January, l777, the settlers in
the New Hampshire Grants held a

Another of the "streamlined'
methods whereby U. S. Army Avia-
tion Cadets are trained to take
their places among the finest pilots
in the world is the use of "class-
room cockpits"-a kind of dia-
gram-model of airplane instrument
panels-for preliminary training in
important phases of flight instruc-
tion," Capt. c. F. Schell, U. S.
Army Recruiting officer said today
in discussing the speed-up tech
nique the Army Air Corps has
adopted to facilitate training of its
thousands of new pilots.
These classroom cockpits' are
used to bridge the gap between
theory and actual flying" Capt.
Schell explained. "They not only
quicken the beginners understand
ing of the ships which he is going
to fly, they are valuable safety
aids by means of which ways to
avoid costly and dangerous mis-
takes can be clearly demonstrat-
ed"

Point of the Air" pre-fiight train
ing includes the use of model
planes, mechanical trainers and
the "cockpits," all of which have
a thousand uses for aviators and
'would-be aviators. When Cadets
go up into the sky actually to fly
airplanes they know in advance
just what to expect and what is ex-
pected of them.
"The U. S. Army Air Corps is
producing the biggest and the best
Air Force in the world" Capt.
Schell asserted, land they are do
ing it with the most scientific and
streamlined methods known to

In order to be eligible for Avia-
tion Cadet appointment, young men

A long journey lay ahead of me.
To get to the railroad necessitated
a two-mile walk to catch an old
Ihorse-drawn stage
AS 1 stepped out into the dark
ness of that early morning hour, I
was greeted by dazzling array of
brilliant yellow stars. In the pale
light of those stars I began my
Journey. But later, when the
mountain road led up over high
ridge, / saw in the far distance the
first pale gray of dawn.

thoughts.
hastened on and the dawn grad
ually frightened. The distant hills
were now plainly visible. I caught
the stage and later, as it was rat
tling its way down into the valley,
the sun came up, flooding the whole
Landscape with its mellow radiance.
In my experience that morning
I discovered a great truth. I learn
ed the fact that you do not need
the full light of day in order to be-
gin journey. You do not need to
know much about any subject in
order to begin to study it. You do
not have to have lot of exper-
fence in order to begin training.
Nor do you need to know much
about God in order to begin to
trust Him.
The faintest starlight of a Scrip
tural Promise, such as: "The Lord
is my Shepherd" is sufficient to
begin the journey of faith Godward,
"a journey which, as you travel on,
becomes brighter and brighter
until, at last, you are able to walk
in the full light of a perfect trust
in God.
However small may be the thing
upon which only you can pin your
faith, begin to trust God today!
Starlight leads to sunlight
Keep walking on. Even a glimmer-
ing faith, when sincerely followed,
will bring you at last into the full
ness of joy!

Could 1t Have Happened?

One evening while faced with the
problem of what to do, 1 heard soft
gentle taps of rain falling against
the window. I switched all the
lights off and looked up at the
weeping sky. I've often heard of
people walking in the rain but had
not tried it myself, that is for
pleasure. AS I watched it falling,
which could be seen plainly be-
cause of the huge halo of light
from the nearby town, a sudden
urge came to me to walk in the
rain. put my rain coat on and
walked out into the California
dew" 1t was more pleasant than
1 thought it would be. The rain
seemed to wash my troubles COM
pletely away and leave me with a
feeling of possession of the entire
world before me.
After walking for some time 1
heard muffled voices issuing from
a large clump of trees. 1 hadn't
noticed it before but fear sharpens
mans senses beyond the ordinary;
and the trees now formed a gro
tesque circle. 1 feared, yet forced
myself to. walk toward them and
see the possessors of the voices. 1
soon found a small path that lead
toward the center of circle but
stopped when I saw clearing be-
fore me with small group of
cloaked figures huddled around a
fire. Os l looked for more detail
I found the leader whose cloak was
edged in braided gold and silver
and placed in front of him was a
bound, rather lumpy sort of figure.
1t facinated me, then Mortified me
as I saw it slightly move. The
leader after slow mysterious sign
from the others stopped over and
cut the bonds loose from the object.
1t suddenly leaped forward as if
afraid that its sense were not true
in informing that it was free. /
looked again then discovered that
it wa S girl. She wasn't very tall
and was dressed as the average
person dressed with the exception
of a wide leather belt with small
compartment where the two ends
meet in front. The leaders cold,
harsh voice then was heard speak
ing words in language SO very
strange, the girl looked at him
with contempt and started to
spring away toward escape, but to
no avail. One blocked her move
ment, another grabbed her, while
still another opened the small COM
partment, reached in, then fell to
the ground senseless. The girl
smiled victoriously at the others as
if saying, "You have yet to try
again and again for success"
The leader after seeing all that
had happened quickly drew from
his cloak a silver shaft and shout
ed at the girl. She hesitated for a
moment then opened the small
compartment and drew out a huge
blood-red heart. 1t glittered a dark
red and threw off all the shades of
that color when held near the fire.
The leader took it from the girls
outstretched hand. Immediately a
huge explosion occurred. Every
thing blew up in huge blast of
fire. Then utter blackness. I tried
to move and finding the place on
which was lying soft, soon identi-
fed it as my favorite chair in
which I had been sitting watching
the rain. Unable to believe my
senses 1 switched on the light and
found it to be true. I was home.
With a deep breath of relief I
arose from the chair and made UP

you have done your part?
No, school spirit, is more than
that. It's getting behind your

mean, helping to carry out new

dertake, attending all our school
