theme and gave 1t a gay, balanced interpretation. Equally outstanding was the ballet music from Gounod's Faust. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,, played as an encore, was smooth and rich in melody.
 An aspect of celestial grandeur was introduced with the playing of one movement from Haydn,s Con- certo for Cello and Orchestra" by soloist Adolphe Abbenate, who per- formed with great technical skill. The difficult allegro from Boccher- ina's Sonato in A Major" was rem dered with easy dexterity. Mrs. Stephen Bergin, pianist, accom- panied.
 The orchestra then came to the fore again with Lehar's Gold and Silver Waltzes and Rachmaninoff's Prelude in c Sharp Minor" a pi- ano piece which was greatly en- riched by the full orchestral ar- rangement. Encores were the tenn pestuous tango "Jalousie" by Gade, and in opposite mood, Entrance of the Little "Fauns" by Pierne, frol- icsome piece which portrays the cap- ricious capers of the little fauns, represented musically by the piccolo.
 Encore Demanded
 Dance of the Comedians" from "The Bartered Bride" by Smetana opened the last portion of the pro- gram. The orchestra told the hum- orous tale with gay spirit. The vi- olins spoke the heartbreaking strains of the Prelude to Act III of La Traviata" tremulously and ten- derly. The popular Dance of the Hours" by Ponchielli concluded the regular program. A group of old- time waltzes, with audience partici- patton, was presented as an encore, followed by a foot-tapping rendi- tion of "Sibonet." Smiling broadly. the maestro hushed the insistent clamor for more and declared that that was all. But the audience shouted for 8 repeat of "Jalousie" and MT. DiCecco graciously obliged.
 Last nights Pops concert proved a hundred fold that it was worthy to become a regular feature in Wa terbury.-C. c.

Patronage To Decide
 Pops Concert Future
Magnificent Program Presented Before Medium-Size !. Attendance -DiCeccO Makes Appeal

Praaseworthy musicianship on the part of Mario DiCecco and the Wa terbury Civic orchestra provided a concert of excellent quality and one of the most outstanding the group has yet presented in the second Pops concert of the season at Ham, ilton Park pavilion last night. Ex- precision, smoothness and rhythm in the various sections of the orch- estra produced a highly commend able blend of enjoyable music. De- spite the fact that the audience was disappointingly small in number, it did not lack appreciation or en- thusiasm, by any means. Acknowl- edging its admiration, Mir. DiCecco gave due credit to the members of the orchestra and then told of the expense concerts of this kind en- tail. He urged a larger attend ance in the future and said faceti- ously, You know, folks, if you don't keep up the Pops concerts, Til have to go into the restaurant busi- ness" MT. DiCecco can certainly whip up a tasty musical menu" and it would be a sad commentary, indeed, if the Waterbury public were to be responsible for the death of the Pops" here.
 First Impression
 It was evident when the orchestra struck up the first few bars of Ros- sini,s> Overture to the Barber of Seville" that the concert would be one of high calibre. Strings sang sweetly and the accompanying in- struments caught the expressive

LISTEN FRIENDS
By Margaret Taylor Goss
GI's Tell Postwar Plans

With victory in the European
theatre and with the Pacific war ap-
preaching it's height, a number of
my CT friends have been writing
and telling me something about
their postwar plans. l thought that
it would be interesting to share
some of these ideas with you, since
we here at home have a grave re-
sponsibility to do all that we can
to see that the plans of theese fel-
lows who have risked all for us
come into being.
One thing that is mentioned most
in the letters home is sleep. Several
fellows feel that this is the first
thing that they want to do when
they get home and they declare that
they want to get plenty of the stuff.
We can gather from this that old
man Morpheus will be quite busy
when the boys come home and his
companion, the sandman, will be
quite overworked.
One CT notes that he plans to
come home, store up supply of
food and bolt the door. He plans to
be quite alone with his wife and the
babe that he has only seen photo
graphs of. Another has his mind on
books. He wants to come back to the
Southside Of Chicago and open up a
bookstore that will have every one
reading from Grandpa to Junior.
Still another plans to take advan-
tage of the educational provisions
Of the CT Bill Of Rights and go back
to school to study electrical engi-
neering. Another who admits that
he realizes now that he did not make
the best of the opportunities he had
when he was in school plans to go
back and do some real studying.
One who never had an interest in
organizations writes that when he
gets back, he plans to look into Soc
ial problems and get into some or
ganization to help do something
about improving conditions. A sail
or writtees that he and a group of
his fellows do not intend to waste
time looking for jobs. They go into
a cooperative business venture
They feel that they will be stronger
together than individually.
We see that the boys are think
ing seriously about their postwar
plans From the tone Of their letters,
they mean business. We here at
home have a responsibility to exert
every effort to see that these plans
are realized. Certainly, the fellow
deserves as much.
