First Table!

have just enjoyed a rare privi- son, an officer in the Navy, and bis ship was in for a few days. We went down for a visit. We were honOred too, because we were asked to stay for mess. Good food these kids are getting and plenty oft. That made me very happy and you'd be happy too, to see the practical workings of a plan that says to our civilian population, We've got to practice a mild self-denial; we've got to deny ourselves, quantitatively, some of the things that we are accustomed to, so that our fighting men, who are giving up SO much more than we, to preserve our Nation, can sit at the first table until our objective is won"
 And then we sat down with a group of these kids and talked about what they planned to do after the victory parades are over. These are days, you know, when postwar planning tops the list of "musts. <" Well, we learned a lot and we gained a new respect for the soundness of these kids thinking. They're way beyond their years and America need feel no concern about the future.
 And, then, just when it was time for us to leave, a clear-eyed, clear skinned sailor, who hadn't said a word during our general conversa- tion, sort ofshuffled forward. Shyly, naively, he handed me a snapshot of his little daughter "a darling baby girl; and there was a husli- ness in his voice when he said, Mister, here is a picture of my postwar plan!"
 l had a grand afternoon on that ship. It was so clean-and the air was fresh. Tonic!

Also included as an en- core was Delibes' "PiZZicato Polka" The bright spot of the evenings en- tertainment proved to be an orches- tral arrangement of Chopin's Polo naise in A Flat which featured Dor othy Guilfoile Bergin, who has been absent from the orchestra, in the piano solo. Mrs. Bergin's delivery was eloquent.
 The 6O-piece orchestra performed before approximately 800 patrons in cooperation with the Park Depart ment, in this first of series Of six summer concerts scheduled this year. In brief remarks addressed to the audience by Mayor John S.. Monagan, president of the orchestra, his honor expressed pleasure at the success of the concerts, which were initiated last year. He welcomed Mrs. Bergin back to the orchestra and commented on the groups fine per- formance. He also offered the sug- gestion that perhaps an outside concert shell could be erected here for the presentation of future sum- mer music programs.
 Other concerts for this season are scheduled as follows: July p, August 5, August 19, September ?, and September 16. MT. DiCecco is arranging for the appearance of soloists, and a vocal chorus during the remainder of the season.
 If the enthusiasm and pleasure of last nights audience is any criter- ion, the Waterbury Civic Orchestra Pops concerts have been insured permanent success.
