Although he is well past the age when many violinists would have ceased to carry on so active a career the music loving world will not permit him to retire. Last year he appeared in 20 concerts in all parts of the country. Hardly had he completed this tour when book ing agents were called upon to ar range for further appearances dur ing the 1945-46 season. There is good reason for this continued ap- preciation of his efforts. He is a true artist with all the enduring qualities of the great.
 Some years ago leading critic wrote. '"There are many violinists- but there is only one Kreisler." The test Of time has proved beyond dis pute that the concert goers still feel that way about him. MT. Kreisler will play here on Dec. 24.

in the social and political life of
their communities was voiced to-
day by the Rev. Richard Lineberger,
pastor of Concordia Church, Con-
over, N. c., at meeting of the

which have been stressing the fun
damental gospel have become lax
in making their influence felt on
society in general.
The meeting discussed the ques-
ton of a progressive approach to
Lutheran unity in matters of diff
ferences between the synods. DR..
]. Frederic Wenchel, pastor emer-
titus of Christ Lutheran Church, led
the discussion.

The many refinements in the plas
tic surgeons technique now make all
sorts of repair jobs possible.
One short cut is the use of pre-
served cartilage and bone taken
from healthy accident victims or dur
ing chest operations and stored in
hospital refrigerators until needed.
This time-saver, recently adopted
by many surgeons throughout the
country, was first developed by New
Yorks Or. /. Daniel Shorell the IA
nous plastic surgeon who numbers
duchesses, queens and the favorites
of kings TO say nothing of host OF
movie stars among his clients.
With this stored material il is easy
TO build up the bridge of a saddle
nose or add TO the foundation Of a
cheek bone without the risk Of taking
cartilage from the patients own ribs.
No civilian will need a whole new
jaw unless he's an accident victim
but a person who has a weak little
chin that doesn't match the rest Of
