Here are items taken from Ha-
gerstown paper published in 1874
70 years ago:
The observance of Decoration Day
at the Antietam National Cemetery
at Sharpsburg was an approaching
event announced. All persons tax
ing part were requested to assemble
in the Public Square, Sharpsburg,
in front of the residence of Jacob
H. Grove. Col. E. M. Mobley was
selected as marshall of the Hagers-
town delegation. All persons wish
ing to contribute flowers were to
leave them at the jewelry store of
Thomas A. Bouilt, on West Wash
ington street. The procurement of
plants was new feature of the
celebration. 1t was announced that
the Washington County Railroad Co.
had reduced the fare between Ha-
gerstown and Keedysville one half,
or SO cents for the round trip, and
80 cents per round trip in coaches
between Keedysville and the Gene
terry.
Large bass had been caught dur
ing the week and the town was
pretty well supplied with bass, some
of which weighed over five pounds,
but the price at which they were
sold, 20 cents per pound, it was
stated, was rather high and put
them beyond the reach of poor peo-
pie"

This week is Music Week" and
here are some interesting books on
the subject, that you will find on the
shelves of your Washington County
Library.
To be a music lover does not
necessarily mean that one has must
cal knowledge Regardless of ones
ability, all men possess one charac-
teristic in common, that of a listen
ing acquaintance with music. The
more familiar certain compositions
become, the more music assumes a
definite meaning.
So many books have been written
about music for the layman that it
is not difficult to suit Individual
tastes. Music With A Feather Dust
er, by Elizabeth Mitchell, is for the
enjoyment of professionals n d
amateurs alike. Reminiscing, the
author recounts musical evenings in
New York, tales of famous musicians
and trips abroad The chapter on
her early music teacher is hilarious
but apt to bring sigh of pleasant
memories to those with a similar
experience A Little Night Music,
by Gerald Johnson, is nostalgia. OS-
car Levant's Smattering of IgnOr-
ance is frank, vigorous and as I'M
expected as Mr.. Levant is on his
Information Please" broadcasts
Deems Taylor's Well Tempered Lis
tener is based on his intermission
talks during the broadcast of the
New York Philharmonic Symphony
Music For The Multitude, by Sid
ney Harrison, is designed for those
lately interested in music. 1t is an
effective guide, relating the story OF
the development of music to social
and political history. Similarly
Sigmund Spaeth stimulates normal
enthusiasm and suggests ways to
start with children or those who
missed musical appreciation in
childhood in his Music For Fun.
How To Teach Children To Know
Music, by Harriet Barbour, is a def
mite listening program from child
hood through to high school. Rec
commended recordings are guides for
parents or teachers.
What To Listen For In Music, by
Aaron COPELAND, discusses three
phases of listening, the sensuous, the
expressive and the sheerly musical
Written in conversational style, di-
rect in approach, it is invaluable to
the uninitiated.
Music history is recorded in many
splendid books, two of which are
Rise Of Music In The Ancient World
by Curt Sachs, and Music In West
ern Civilization, by Paul Lang. The
former is history and criticism Of
primitive, oriental, Greek and Ro-
man music, while the latter deals
with western world almost entirely
Long and philosophical, it is one Of
the most outstanding achievements
in musical history.

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

Instrumental histories are both
factual and pictorial. History Of
Musical Instruments, by Curt Sachs,
is interesting to the casual reader as
well as the musician. The author is
one of the distinguished authorities
on musical instruments of primitive
and ancient societies. For illustra-
ton, Tune Up, oy Mrs. Harriet E.
Huntington, is splendid for the cor
rect holding positions of various Or
chestral instruments.
From Bach To Stravinsky, edited
by David Even, is based on those
less familiar yet important pioneers
in the music field, while his Book
OF Modern Composers is a cross
section of music of the past fifty
years. Personality sketches, back
grounds of composers lives make
this book interesting reading.
The Men And Women Who Make
Music gives colorful information oil
fifteen of the great interpreters OF
music. Again Mr.. Even presents
factual information in a very read
able style.
For the concert goer, "The House
That Music Built is the book they
will read with affection. The record
of the influence of Carnegie Hall on
American life will be revealing to
those unfamiliar with its history.
The Music Lovers Handbook, by
Ellie Siegmeister, is full of ballads
fiddle strings and concert halls.
Foremost among folk songs col
lections is Treasury OF Worlds Fin
est Folk Songs, collected and ar
ranged by Deutsch Leonhard. 1t is
the first international collection oil
folk songs assembled on strictly
musical and artistic principles
The BOtsfOrd Collection OF Folk
Songs is interesting. The three vol
umes give the best known and loved
songs of the world. The original
language and the translation are in
cluded in the score.
For lovers of American songs
Treasury OF American Songs begins
where the event left off and carries
one through American history on Z
tide of music. Another beloved
Treasury is the Gilbert & Sullivan
one Colorful in makeup, the music
and lyrics still enchant even a one
finger pianist.
Besides books, your Library has
scores of the works of the famous
composers for voice, single instru-
ment and orchestra. Art song, arias
oratorios are in the Kee-Mar collec-
ton This music is just as available
as any book for those who wish tc
borrow.
The library of recordings is as yet
very small, but books on records
are plentiful. Brief, selective witt
critical judgments, these will aid il
the building of your personal Ii
brary.
