Young Isaac Stern of San Francis
co, the amazing violin virtuoso
whose climb to the rank of master
in his field is one of the sensations
of the music world, will bring his
remarkable brand of music to Hag-
erstown on Wednesday, November
81 in the course of his fourth ma
tional concert tour under the direc-
ton of impresario S. Hurok. The
concert is sponsored by the Hagers-
town Civic Music Association.
Mr.. Stems appearance at the Ha-
gerstown High School auditorium
will afford music-lovers here an OPP
portunity to enjoy the playing of
the young Californian, who has been
acclaimed as zone of the worlds

of them.
''He demonstrated that he has one
of the most effortless virtuoso tech
niques before the public today; also,
one of the most beautiful tones. Mr..
Stern has enough equipment for
himself and plenty besides to give
away" wrote the New York Post.
Said the orld-Telegram: zone

Returning to Carnegie in January
for his solo recital, the superbly
gifted young artist drew from the
New York Times: "Mr. Stern dem
onstrated the highly perfected tech
nique and the accurate, clean type
of playing which has come to be
expected to him. There was no deny
ing his wealth of temperament and

Board of Public Works for an in

amount of $51,920 to permit imme-
date construction of the Fire Elk
tension Building to be erected on
the grounds of the University of
Maryland at College Park. The
original sum of 100000 was allo-
Gated for this purpose, but when bids

other expenses it would total $780,

well. In addition to the practical
work shown in her projects, she
also is a musician, and takes part in
amateur dramatics.
Ralph McCauley used to know
cow as just a cow, but after his
seven years of All work he can
pick the good ones from the poor
ones. He owns three registered
Guernseys, and has shown animals
in four county fairs in Maryland as
well as York fair in Pennsylvania,
to win $433 in prizes Sales of dairy
products and animals have netted
$741 President of the county All
calf club, Ralph has also been a
member of the county dairy judging
team. His cows, along with the II
in the home herd, are on DHIA rec
ord tests.
Kenneth ID. Phetteplace, years a
All member, does much of the work
on the 54-acre home farm, in addi-
ton to his All projects. He grew
three acres of tomatoes this year
as field crop, just as much as he
figured he could harvest himself
with the part time help of few
boys 10 to II years old. AS he is
only IA of a mile from the cannery.
he first picked tomatoes as a natural
cash crop in 1912, when the vines
yielded Z tons to the acre. With
cover crops and fertilizer, he has
built up the land and in 1945 sur
passed his goal of 10 tons yield to
the acre by getting about 80 tons
from the three-acre lot. Sales on
field run basis have brought him
$27 ton this year, the standard
cannery price and Melted 1892 above
costs. He has also grown peas, sage,
and beef and dairy cattle as well
as hogs. In his FLA club, he has
been president and treasurer, and
was graduated from high school in
1945.
John Rhineheart, 6 years a club
member, lives on a 561-acre farm.
He has built his poultry projects up
to 600 baby chicks in 1945, with 235
laying hens. About $1768 of his total
of $2240 earnings in All projects
has come from poultry. In all he
has raised 1850 chicks to sell as
broilers or to keep as laying hens.
He has bought R.O.P. tested males
to go with his New Hampshire hens,
to produce Matching eggs at a
premium price above the table egg
market. He has had the best birds
in the state poultry show for three
years, won state contest in 1914,
and county honors in 1943 and 1914.
President of his All club this year,
he has been an assistant leader,
active in dramatics, in FLA, and in
the band, track, and basketball in
high school. On the home farm he
also spends much time in harvest
season supervising crews of fruit
pickerS.
