Often Miss Burnett told us, there
are many fine musicians in the

neighborhood, men who have played
with well-knoWn symphony orches-

or singers who have held fine solo
positions in one of our big churches.
Before the war music was an
important part of their lives. Think
what it has meant to them sud-
denly to have no chance to play or
sing, and think what 1t means to
them again to have part in the
work they know and love best.

talent go to the Music Workshop at

Seminary Fair

Event Fridav

For many Washingtonians the an
nual Seminary Fair on the hill be-
hind Alexandria is becoming a real
spring treat. The grove of oaks,
surrounded by the old houses of the
seminary, is marvellous setting for
gala afternoon, with enough rest
full features for the adults to make
them happy while the children ride
the ponies, grab for prizes and play
games until they drop. The flower
and plant market, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Stanley rown-Serman,
is real opportunity for city gar
deners to pick up unusual things for
their small plots, and this year there
will be a good supply of healthy
vegetable plants for the Victory
garden.

Music Helps Wartime Morale;
|AbbeaL Is International
By Betty Grove Smith.

National Music Week begins to-
day. Now, whether you're a musi-
clan or not, whether you even know
or care about music or not, you
must realize that music in wartime
is very integral part of our pro-
gram to keep up wartime morale
both on the fighting and the
home fronts. Nothing, Miss Mary
M. Burnett (Who has for many
years been music director for the
YWCA and is an active member of
the newly organized Music Com
mittee of USO at the WV on Sew
enteenth and X streets) feels, has
done more in times of tension to
relieve that tension, and to draw
people together than music.
To quote Miss Burnett: I'm time
of war or peace, the music we love
is always the same and because it is
steadfast and unfailing, we love it
more and more to keep turning to
it as other values alter" Music,

On Tuesday, when 78 soldiers
