''The trouble" said Lavalle, ''is that those Iong-hairs' (musicians who play only classicala stuff) go over the score according to rote and it makes Toscanini mad. He wants the music to live-a little vibrato now and then, for instance.
 q was playing with swing bands we called them ff1azz bands then when the word came that had been selected to do the saxophone solo in Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition Some of my friends congratulated me, the others com- ] miSerated.
 Gave It Own Shading
 Finally the great night came and there was in the pit with the rest of the symphony. Toscanini came on, gave us all that sharp look of his and we were off. When it came turn for my solo said to myself:
 Shall I play this note for note as per score or shall give it a little something of myself?' I de- cided the devil with the score and I stuck in little shading. I must have mortified the other musicians who were trying dramatically tc follow a straight line, but Toscanini beamed down at me.
 "Ah 'Ah, he whispered, you sing''
 Lavalle used to spell his name Laval, but when the French Quis- ling rose to power his mail began l to take on a rather ominous note Are you," letters would inquire significantly, related to Laval of France?"
 So he changed it.
 Scholarship Started Him
 Considering his reputation in music and radio, it is surprising that Lavelle got into the field by chance. He was at Columbia Uni versity when the school of music announced its band needed clari- netist and it would give a schalar- ship to one. Lavalle, who had learned the instrument in his native Beacon, N. Y, asked for and got the grant,.
 Since then he has been arranger and conductor for such programs as The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street" and Fan tasy of Melody" He likes to use such rigidly classical instruments as bassoon and English horn in pop llar music.
 "The distinctions between class ical and swing music are breaking down." he believes.
 Lavalle composed a symphonic rhumba played over NEG by ar orchestra of 90 pieces. He admits under pressure, that he is also the composer of such odd items al Memoirs of 6 Dilemma" and "Buz- zardS Bacchanale."

NEW LADDER TRUCK
 ACCEPTED BY CITY
Fire Board Adopts Formal Vote; Burton St. COm-
 pany Takes Charge

Acceptance of the new $1e0OO ladder truck recently bought from the Seagrave Corp. was voted yes terday at meeting of the board of fire commissioners. The truck, which has 60 foot aerial ladder and is equipped with the latest developments in fire-fghting equip ment, was placed in service imme- d!ately at the Burton street fire house.
 Members of the Burton street company have been given instruc- tions in the handling of the new apparatus by representatives of the Seagrave Corp during the past few weeks. Capt. George Holmes, chief of the repairs bureau reported that the truck is acceptable.
 The old ladder truck formerly in service at Burton street was placed in reserve and removed to the re- pair station in Brooklyn. The board holds little hope of ob- ta'ning delivery of a new pumpet ordered last January. A priority rating of A-10 has been assigned and there is no chance of obtaining the bumper unless a better rating is granted

 "A girl named Sandra Rydall. She's going to live in Westwood She's just back from Europe, had some kind of job with a magazine. Seems she had a pretty rough time when the kettle boiled over, and was mighty glad to get back and set tie down. Maybe you'll see her around. She looks pretty social"
 "Why did she pick our town?"
 Christie didn't like the sound of her own voice. It had an odd al most resentful note in it. Instinc- lively, she had not liked this San dra. Because Bart's voice when he spoke of her, had a very special sound.
 "Oh, don't know She just pick ed it." He added, T believe she has some relatives here"
 T hope she's as ugly as sin,' Christie thought, deciding, but she isn't"

Bart waited until they were spin ming toward town in Christie's car: Something told me it was high time I came home. Gosh, Christie, re- membered you as kind of nice-but not this nice" His voice shook a little.
 That goes for me, too," Christie said, a lump in her throat
 I'm going to argue with you plenty" Bart was frowning a little. About those flying lessons, Christie. It may sound funny coming from me, but I guess it's because I know the danger. With the world in such a mess, you have it figured out that you'd like to help some way. But there are lots of other ways. There was the girl met on the train, for instance. She wishes she could do something to help morale, but isn't sure just what she could do"
 Christies heart seemed to skip a beat.
 What girl?" she asked, trying to

straight into his arms if there had been only halfway invitation.
 I'm pretty glad to find you all in one piece" Bart was holding both of her hands ir a tight grip. 'If you had stayed up much longer, I'd have gone after you"
 Well, my prize lady bird, how was the ether? Nice going, nice landing, Christie" Russ had sauntered up, looking pleased
 T had a good teacher" Christie smiled at him.
 Bart has a notion that girls should keep their little feet on the ground" Russ mocked. "As for me, recognize flying natural-and I don't care whether it's feminine or masculine gender"
 "Oh, run along, Russ" Bart said 'Let me get in my two words"
 "She knows them already-to dangerous" Russ laughed See you Wednesday, Christie, same time"

Shipments Of Beef
 Expected Here T oday

Shipments of beef due here this afternoon and tomorrow were due to lessen somewhat the current beef shortage. but wholesalers said that the relief would be only temporary. Not only are the amounts of beef received here far below normal, they said, but shipments are arriving be- hind schedule.
 Veal and pork are also far less plentiful than usual, though ship ments of these meats arrived yes- terday and today. Lamb and poultry are plentiful.
 It was disclosed by James Court ney, city meat inspector, that about 16,OOO pounds of beef are available at the municipal abattoir. How
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-24

ever, most families prefer western beef and the meat from Connecticut cattle is usually sold to weekend markets and small establishments.
 Relief has been promised by the government. Efforts are being made to provide spread" between the prices charged for cattle and hogs and the ceiling prices which wholesalers must obey. This will allow packers a profit margin.
 Increased shipments of beef and pork are due here next week. but the amounts available will probably be below normal for another several weeks. In some cities, wholesalers have begun "rationing" meat to re- tail dealers.

and was empnaSlZeQ QurlnR
 They had the same lovely browr hair with golden lights in it; the same blue-gray eyes, fringed bJ incredibly long lashes; the same curving sweetly -molded mouths the same youthful, 1.-the figures Only it was Christie who glowed and sparkled, and Janet who went about in a soft reflection of that glow.
 It was Christie who was high ir the air, now, circling over the modest Westwood airport. And Janet who stood on the ground her blue eyes anxiously glued tc the circling plane.
 Janet did not know that at the moment the courage and conf1- dence of her twin was at low ebb and that Christie's anxiety moge than matched her own.
 Tommy Colton, their brother was watching, too. But he was not troubled. Christie's uncanny luck would always hold out. Now if Janet were in that plane, you'd really have something to worry about. Bill Blake, the young me chanic at the airport, was another cool observer; and some distance away instructor Russ LaWton manager of the local airport @ and finally, Bart Sanderson.
 Russ had groaned when he saw Bart walk out on the field Great Scott, look who's here" he hat said. He would get rid of Bart il he could, before Christie came down. In the state she'd be in some of Bart's idiotic ideas might not sound so idiotic. Careers had been spoiled by somebody like Bart Hobbing up at the wrong time.
 Gcodlooking Bart Sanderson had been known as Westwood's flying est fellow" before he went in for medicine. He had grown up flying any old crate he could get his hands on. During high school days he had hung around the airport, scornine parties and pretty girls. He had come home from medical college still a flying fan.
 More than one person had Sus- pected that if any girl could prick Bart's indifference, it would be Christie Colton. But, of course Bart had his pride, and anybody knew that a youn doctor to- be interning now in an eastern hos pital, wos no match for daughter of Westwood's richest citizen.
 Bart had had a few dates with Christie. When he danced with her there was that certain some thing" - look in his eyes = but there had never been 8 hint that ne ever intended to ask popular Christie to marry him.
 Wonder if he knows who's up In that plane" Russ thought, as Bart came toward him. But Bart'S grim face was his answer.
 He'd probably knock me down if he knew I tricked her into a solo, although probably saved her a bad case of nerves" Russ thought. He was feeling little jittery. He wished Christie would come down out of that sky.
 Seeing Bart had made him un- easy. Bart's prejudice against women flyers was well known. Ht had written articles citing theil weak points - and they had beer published. They're no good ir real emergencies" Bart had writ. len once. If they come through } flying hazard, it's an accident"
 Russ hoped Christie would make good landing. Wouldn't Bar have to show up at time lik' this"
 "Well, 50 long, Bart" Russ said elaborately casual, glad yo1 dropped by" He started walking away. But Bart, lighting a cigaret seemed not to her him. He wa
