AS some friends anticipated,

men did not act upon the pc
tition of Medford residents
which was submitted to pres
ident Mcdonald for immedi-
ate consideration last week.
This reporter made a personal
visit to Medford City Hall at
the invitation of our Mayor
who already has given his

issue. We visited the Office of
City Clerk where we were cor
daily received by Mr. George P.

ton had not been put on the
floor. Mayor Lawrence told NE
that, in his opinion, the petit
ton was a sound and sensible
request at this time, under
present condition when colored
teachers are in Boston, Cam
bridge, and other cities but
not in Medford. We agreed that
the Medford Aldermen could
lose nothing by a public
statement of democracy. The

We are still in the race to

| Informal Fetes
For Orchestra
|Gnest Artists

Keeping up the home front Is as
much a part of the war effort as
actively fighting, and for this
reason hostesses in the National
Capital plan informal fetes for the
guest artists appearing with the
National Symphony Orchestra at
its numerous concerts through the
season. Thus those interested in
music, but perhaps unfamiliar with
the National Symphony Orchestra
and its accomplishments have the
opportunity to meet those who are
keeping this worthwhile organiza-
ton in its rightful place in the Ma
tional Capital.
Two such parties are planned this
week, the first one that of Mrs.
Truxtun Beale, who has asked a
very small number of guests for a
buffet supper Wednesday evening
after the all-subscription concert.
Her guests are invited to meet the
famous violinist, Yehudi Menuhin,
who will be the soloist that evening.
The other party is that of Capt.
Hollis Carlisle, U. S. NJ, and Mrs.
Carlisle, in honor of the latter's
brother, Mr.. Charles O'Connell. who
will be the guest conductor for the
Fifteen Thirty concert Saturday
evening. Mrs. Beale's supper will
be given in her historic home, De-
catur House, on jackson place at
H street, where candles and coal oil
lamps make soft light for the
antique treasures about the rooms.
Capt. and Mrs. Carlisle will en-
tertain in their home in George
town and the party will be quite
Informal, without receiving line,
though Mr.. O'Connell will seldom
be far away from his sister while
she is greeting her guests. Among
those going to the Carlisles after
the close of the program Saturday
evening will be Col. and Mrs. John
Haskell, 1t. Col. and Mrs. Alexander

Pianist lids Young Talent,
Helps Musicians Get Start
By Betty Grove Smith.

There are two pianos in the small
Georgetown drawing-room of Dor
othy Clark Norman, just as there
always are wherever Mrs. Norman
makes her home. For the talented
composer pianist who is as well
known in the world OF society as
she Is in the world Of the theater
still likes an evening of music a
duet as much as she did when she
played professionally. Her playing
before audiences now is limited to
volunteer playing for the men of
the armed forces, or on smaller
scale, for her own particular friends.
1t was Mrs. Norman who started
the Philadelphia Stage Door Can
teen-the second to be (the New
York Stage Door Canteen was the
first)-and it was she who arranged
to have 1t in the basement of the
Academy of Music, superintended
the decorations. got the first very
necessary contributions of iceboxes,
juke boxes, pianos, etc. and ar
ranged for the entertainment. Per-
haps no one in Philadelphia was so
well equipped for the organization
work as Mrs. Norman, whose con-
facts with both the theater and
society fitted her for the perfect
blending of the two into the sue
cessful whole that the canteen has
now become. AS the canteen went
into full swing and its organization
had been established Mrs. Norman
gradually delegated authority to
various committees and individuals.
but she still remains vice president
Of the canteen even though she
now makes her home in Washing
ton.
Since coming here to live, Dor
othy Norman has played at various
fetes for servicemen. She is on the
Board of Directors of the United
Nations Club here and Chairman
of the Evening of Music program
which they are giving at Dunbar

she herself will play. Other fea-
