War Influences Taste in Music,
Pianist Sees Higher Standards
By Betty Grove Smith.

The war has wrought 50 many
changes In our daily lives that We
must all wonder If anything will
ever be the same again. Not Just
the material things, but the spirit
ual, too. Will our thinking be the
same? Our feeling for the beauti-
full things OF life? Will we still love
the good books, the lovely pictures,
the glorious music2
AS we sat talking to the brilliant
young Austrian pianist, Paul
Walter Buxbaum, the other after
noon we asked him if he thought
the war had changed peoples taste
in muSic-especially young people.
Emphatically it has, Mr.. Bux-
baum thinks, and for the better. He
finds that the seriousness of the
world situation has given young
people a deeper appreciation of the
fine things, has given them higher
standards and has made them more
conscious of the worthwhile, less re-
gardful of the superficial.
IF you could see some of the
servicemen I've played to-" he told
us. "in Alaska. in camps over the
States and right here in Washing
ton at the Stage Door Canteen. If
you could hear their requests for
heavy classical music. If you could
watch their faces as they listen and
see their rapt attention. You could
almost hear pin drop" Mr.. Bux-
baum smiled.
Born in Vienna. Mr.. Buxbaum
received his musical education under
Josef Hoffman and studied under
Paderewsk in Switzerland He grad
uated from the Vienna Academy of
Music and did concert tours of Eng
land, France, Austria and Germany
When only 8 he played before King
Alfonso at the Royal Palace in Ma
drid and still treasures the diamond
and ruby and sapphire pin presented
to him by his majesty after the
event. He is the son of the famous
cellist. Friedrich Buxbaum. who is
giving concerts for servicemen at the
National Art Gallery in London in
conjunction with Myra Hess.
! Now an American citizen, Mr..
Buxbaum has devoted his concert
work to entertaining servicemen
since the war began. He has paid
his own expenses to Alaska and to
the various other camps throughout
the country. where he has volun-
teered to play. Last year he went
(also as volunteer to Whining
ton, Del, to play for the children at
Mrs. Alfred I. du Points Home for
Crippled Children. He has played

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

Remember these Fat Facts:
Overheating is the quickest
way to spoil any fat.
Improper storage spoils fat.
The best way to keep fats is in
a closely covered container, in a
dark place, and way from
strong-flavored and strong-scent-
ed foods.
Fats, which are saved over from
cooking, spoil more quickly than
new fat. So keep used fat extra
cold and use as soon as possible.
Flavorful fats, such as butter,
are least abundant of all. So
when you use your share of these,
be sure to put it where the flavor
will count most with your fam
lily. In these days of limited fat
supply, dishes rich with fat are
out of step with the times.
Try cooked salad dressing with
flour as thickener to help
spread the rat.
When you make French dress
ing, remember not to be a
"spendthrift of oil"
Add the fat for flavoring cook
ed vegetables either just before
the vegetables come off the stove
or after you have them in a serv-
ing dish. You can get more sea-
soning effect from less fat by this
method.
Rinse the fat out of cooking
pans with a little hot water and
add to your soup kettle or use in
sauce or gravy.
Save wrappings that come off
fats. Melt, or scrape off, any fat
that clings to wrappings; use it
to grease pans; or rub over the
crust of your home-baked bread.

heels now in service with the An

The program featuring North

Soldier talent was recruited
from the West Indies bases to
present humorous skits and sing
such favorite tunes as ''Hark the
Sound of Tarheel Voices"
Nostalgia memories of familiar
scenes and events were awaken
ed as the airmen made an mag
mary trip from Cape Hatteras to
the Blue Ridge mountains. At
the same time tribute was paid to
the present war production of the
state and the notable contribu-
tioAs of the past and present to
the common good.
Appearing on the program
were T-Sgt. William H. Warren,
of Dunn; Pfc. Hugh Corzine, Of
Raleigh; Cpl. Robert Page, of
Mount Olive, and Cpl. Bill Rag
Ian, of Winston-Salem.
These Tarheels and other men,
