Veterans Urged
To Get Eligibility
Certificates

Veterans who plan to enter school
or college this fall, and who do
not yet have their certificate of
eligibility should apply for them
now, urges w. F. Wheatley, Vet
Grams Administration chief voca-
tional rehabilitation and education
officer of Mississippi.
MY advice to veterans who want
to enroll this fall" said Mr.. Wheat
ley, lis to get their certificates
now and avoid the last minute
rush. A veteran must have this
certificate in hand when he enrolls
for educational benefits provided
by the Servicemen's Readjustment
Act"
Veterans can apply for this GER
tificate at any VA contact or re-
gional office and a single man with
no dependents needs to bring only
photostatic copy of his discharge
to apply A married veteran should
also bring certified copy of his
marriage license. If he has children
he will need only a copy of the
youngest's birth certificate. If he
is single and has either a mother
or father as dependent, he will also
need his own birth certificate. In
this case, the dependent parent will
have to execute the dependency
form, and if the father is claimed
as the dependent, the marriage GER
tificate of his parents will be need
ed.
In any case Mr.. Wheatley de-
clared, the veteran who wants to
go to school this fall should go
now to his VA contact representa-
tive for assistance Often we are
able to help veterans obtain the
certified public records they need"

Magazine Editor
Does Credit To
Negro Women

Our Women, They Are Wonder
full!
From coast to coast, from the
Gulf states to the Northern Lakes,
we are constantly hearing and
reading about the accomplishments
of our colored women. In hitherto
unheard of fields, our women are
making history, are preparing the
ad succeeding gloriously in the face
of thousand difficulties.
In Chicago, Circuit magazine and
Alone Feaman are synonymous.
Mrs. Feaman edits and publishes
the only nationally circulated Ne
gro Woman's publication Slick
paper, pictorially illustrated, and
representing American Home, Home
Companion and Vogue to Negro
women, Circuit has gone like the
Wind" Over a desk piled high
with mail, telephones ringing and
people running in and out, Alone
Feaman greeted me. Her enthusi-
asm for Circuit is catching, GER
tainly her sincerity in believing
that our many problems will be
helped by home ownership and
family life are a new thought, and
when she talks, you know how
right she is. Mrs. Feaman is one
of the many thousands of women
who are making a definite contri-
button, who are opening new fields
and who definitely are looking at
the Negro problem from the long
range point of view. Circuit is a
commendable publication and does
credit to the colored women of
America.

Save a little and help a lot.
Evening star., 1946-12-04

The atmosphere Of intimacy,
created by the superb playing of
Fritz Kreisler in Constitutional Hall
last night, seemed to reduce, as If
by magic, the size Of the auditorium.
A close communion between the
artist and his audience, established
by the eloquence Of his bow, was
felt as never before throughout the
recital. It was as II the violinist
himself were unaware of the space
and saw only a group of friends to
whom he conveyed informally an
intimate message. intended for each
individual.
This being a typical Kreisler con-
cert, the second half OF the program
consisting of his own compositions,
left q good margin for additional
numbers, all of which were greeted
with the usual delight. With Bach's
Concerto in D minor" and Saint
Saen's Concerto In B minor" !"
played In the beginning of the re-
cital, the program was compare
lively short in print, but not in
actual length of performance.
According to Donald Francis
Tovey, Baeh's concerto, heard here
for possibly the first time, was not
a work for the clavier, as it is gen.
orally believed, but an original mas
terpiece for the violin, presenting
paramount difficulties in bowling and
phrasing. 1t was, probably, the
most difficult violin concerto writ
ten before Beethoven's time.
In some ways the first movement
bears resemblance to Bach's con-
certo for two violins in the same
key. In this and in the third part
are many cadenzalike passages
which would identify it as typical
of Bach's manner of writing for the
violin. However. the most unusual
of the three movements is the
second. It is difficult to imagine
that any one but Mr.. Kreisler could
do it justice interpretatively and
reveal its elaborate mosaiclike pat
tern with such lucidity of form.
Not less beautiful in performance
was Saint-Saens' neglected con-
certo, which the artist took at q
brisk pace. displaying remarkable
finger agility in rapid passages.
Casual slips did in no way deter
from the mastery execution of the
work, which places exacting sde-
mands technically and musically on
the performer. The barcarollelike

aAndantino" was exquisite In phras-
ing and in purity Of line.
A great deal Of interest was CEN
tered on Mr.. KreiSler's new violin
arrangements of "Scherzo" and
sRetrospectioh" from his Quartet
In A minor" played here in this form
for the first time. Together with his
previous arrangement Of "Berceuse
Romantique," also taken from the
same work, 1t leaves but the first
part still to be reduced to a violin
solo. These arrangements should
create an interest in one Of the most
significant compositions from his
pen, inspired by his experiences in
the World War. A musical counter
part of his narrative in prose, the
quartet had its premiere in New
York City, played by the composer
with members of the Letz Quartet

on his return TO this country from
the tl1eater Of war.
The transcription for q single In
strument sacrifices not only the
richness and variety Of color but
also the deeper and more dramatic
significance which underlies the
work. Deprived of the other string
instruments the selections evolve
into two charming numbers SEEM
ingly in a lighter vein, with the
characteristic Kreisler touch. An
other retrospective number, Wien
