in Denmark has worked assid-
uously to find modes of express
sing modern music written for a
small orchestra. His opera Sat
urnalia" on a libretto based on
the Roman satirist, Apuleius
writings, had it's premiere in 1914
on the Royal Theatre.
Knudage Riisager who is chair
man of the Danish Association of
Composers represents the smile
in Danish music. In his overtures
Erasmus Montanus" and "Shrove-
tide" and particularly in his
orchestral suite THE land of Co.
caygne', all of them written
with eminent skill reminiscent of
the French technique, his zestful
humor blossoms forth in full flow
err. His trumpet concerto and con-
certino for five violins and piano
forte have aroused international
interest. During World War II,
the Royal Theatre gave three bal
let's of his: THE land Of Co.
caygne," Twelve by the Mail
coach" based on one of Hans
Christian Andersen's fairy tales
and "Qarrtsiluni." The last men
toned ballet was originally tone
poem on a Greenland festival mo-
tiff. His most recent composition
is the ballet-music for "Fugl Fon-
iks" (The Phoenix) (1946).
Other contemporary composers
are Knud Jeppesen 1892 y; and
Emil Reesen (1S87 }. Knud Jep-
pesens public career as a COM
poser is of rather recent date.
He is internationally known as a
musicologist, and for many years
he held the position of Director
of the Royal Danish Conservatory
of Music. In 1916 he was awarded
professorship at the university
OF AdTlluS Ill Jutloiiu. AS d VIII
poser he has been growing stead
lily in stature, and his tie Deum
danicum", composed for the in
auguration of the auditorium oil
the State Radio in 1915, places
him squarely as one of the rank
ing Danish composers. AS to Emf
Reesen he has notably scored {
great success with his ballet:
"Gaucho" (193D and "Goddesses
Quarrel" (1933).
On the same order as Riisage

BRIDGEVILLE ANGLERS
HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC

On Wednesday, August 10. the
Bridgevllle Anglers Club held their
annual outing and fishing contest
in that spot on the beach that has
been famous for some years for it's
fine surf fishing (The Mule She'd.
The picnic and contest this year
was held in conjunction with the
Rehoboth Sportsman Club and it
was estimated that there were. over
seven hundred people in attend
ance. 1t was really quite an out
standing affair. One of the fea-
lures of the picnic was the tradi-
tional barrel of lemonade.
The official program started at
300 p. m. with a fifty yard dash
for girls, which was won by Miss
Linda Tobin of the RehOboth Club.
The next event was the one hun
dred yard dash for boys, and this
was won by Jack Dean of the Re-
hoboth Club. The next event was
the egg throwing contest which
was won by Mr.. and Mrs Freddie
Truitt OF the Bridgeville Club, and
we all felt sorry for the young lady
who missed the egg. 1t went
through her hands, hit her on the
head and the yOlk certainly did
run. The potato race was won by
Mrs. Freddie Truitt of the Bridge
vile Club.
The next event was one of out
standing Importance, that being the
distance casting contest which was
participated in by the following
members of the Bridgeville team :
George Hartzell, Granville Marvil,
Russell Wiley, Gilbert Johnson and
Gilbert White, and the members of
the Rehoboth. team being John.
Watson, Charles Richards, Charles
Marvel, Herman Schulze and Frank
Mitchell. This was won by Gilbert
White with a toss of 1872 feet and
A inches. Second was George Hart
eel was cast of $50 feet and 5
inches and third was a cast of 327
feet 6 inches by Russell Wiley.
There was quite some excitement
during the distance casting con-
test when a gentleman with all OF
his paraphernalia, including boots
and hickory pole, challenged the
winner. 1t was necessary for Mr.
Gilbert White to make quite a cast
to come up to the 80 foot that this
gentleman was able to throw his
} line. He told the members of the
, committee that he represented hi:

the contest and he demanded the

by all after the fishing contest.
Following this there was quot
pitching and singing by a large
group on the beach led by Gus
Wedler, president of the Rehoboth
Sportsman Club, with his accord
ion.
We must not fail to mention one
thing, and that is the name of one
OF the judges. Just before the con-
test was to start, Luther T. Cal
noon was introduced to the Reno
both judge, and it was none other
than Rudy Vallee. We saw Mrs.
Ralph Davis take her daughter to
the end of the fishing lane, a dis
lance of 720 feet, so that she could
see a celebrity before she became a
Bobby SOXer. We were wondering
why the jeep filled with girls and
women was making so many trips
up and down the beach until we
later found out that they were try
ing to get look at the judge, Rudy
Vallee. We must report, however,
that this was a joke played on our
good friend, Luther Calhoon, by
the Rehoboth Club, and it wasn't
Rudy at all, just a very close like
ness.
The judges of the fishing con-
test were Walt Tomlinson, Rudy
Williams, and Luth Calhoon. The
judges of the distance casting con-
test were Leroy Truitt and Edwin
4 Layton.
The masters of ceremony for the
affair were Horace M. White of the
Bridgeville Club and Kenneth Civ.
ems of the Rehoboth Club.

Treasury 10 Recruit
Best Brains in New
Career Worker Plan

The Nations best brains will be
sought in long-range personnel re-
cruiting program announced today
by the Treasury Department. .
The intricate and growing prob
lens of Federal fiscal administration
require top-level intelligence, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Snyder believes.
Since 1899. he pointed out, the num-
ber of taxpayers has risen from
5000, 900 to 50,000.000 This factor
alone, he said, has developed a tre-
mendous employment problem.
Universities, business institutions
and "other promising sources" will
be asked to submit candidates for
Treasury jobs under the new pro-
gram.
Compete for Promotions.
The new policy, however. will not
imply any departure from establish
ed Treasury policies of promotion
from within, Secretary Snyder said.
Persons who come into the Treasury
under the program will be required
to take civil service examinations
where prescribed and will have to
compete with existing department
personnel for promotion.
No special salary Establishments
can be offered at this time, Treasury
officials said. Nor could they hold
out any hope that the Government
might later be able to compete
financially for personnel with large
brokerage houses and other financial
institutions.
Start at About 1854.
The career" jobs for which the
top-level minds are being sought
generally start at 2,644 a year

Friendship Group Protests
Anfenna Tower Approval

Complaints against the Board of

night by the Friendship Citizens

The erection of the 300-foot tower

since it is only $50 feet from the
Woodrow Wilson High School and
close to three elementary schools.

McCale nodded. He closed his

inner thought. ''I'm sure of it,"
he said. "I'm sure you'll find that

Where Is the
Murder Gun?

THAT, then, for the moment, is
that"
Funny, but McCale's mind
seemed relieved.
The case was dropped momen-
tarily while they talked of pleasant
er things. 1t was nearly twelve
when Donlevy stood up to 60.
II rather thought" he said at
the door, that you were retained
by the old lady Bigelow to get at
the truth. Now, I'm sure you're
hired to protect the girl" He tried
to put it over >'ith a slow smile.
Nothing of the sort has been

McCale returned his smile sardoni-
cally. "That's the truth"
"Okay. l have my duty to do,

"I'd find the weapon first"

There was a silence for a min

as he looked quizzically at his

though he knew what Rocky was
thinking.
Didn't you say the gal who ran
away stopped a minute to look back
when she got to the cannon on the

They left the office in mad rush.

CHAPTER TX

He was a long way ahead OF
me. There was another dame COM
ing up over the Hill road that meets
the path he was on at the gate by
the Bigelow house."
You're sure Of that, Miss Lynn?
Remember, you may be making a
dangerous accusation"
Rage fared up in her. She
jumped up.
Dangerous accusation" she
screamed. II should say it was.
She killed him-that little blue
blood. Killed him. I tell you I saw
her. He's dead. Dead!"
He crossed to her quickly, shak-
ing her by the shoulders.
Take it easy. you're in spot
yourself. Whoever it was that met
Vallaincourt at that gate had on
a green suit or dress"
Angrily she brushed his hands
from her arms, faced him.
Il know that. She had on a green
suit. I saw it. But I was long
way off, tell you. You're not get
ting me for this just because I'm
wearing this green thing. wouldn't
have killed Curt. God, I loved him.
loved him."
Her body sagged away from him.
Her voice was low and harsh, was a
cry Of despair, as though her throat
were all burned out.
McCale left Shari Lynn slumped
on the couch. He knew 1t was use
less to talk to her anymore. She
wouldn't be Of any help.
He went quickly through an or.
nate bedroom which had fabulous
connecting bath of chromium and
glass. There were two closets OF
expensive linen and haberdashery.
He had never seen so many shirts,
ties, shoes, socks, and collars out
side a department store. And he
went through everything.
But there wasn't a single thing
to give him lead, to use as evil
dence-not letter, a receipt, a bill
mot even stray address. The
murdered man had played it pretty
smart and close to the ground.
Disgruntled, he went back into
the living room and out the front
door.
1t was nine-fifteen when the buzz
er in McCale's outer office an
nounced a late caller. McCale
laughed, How are you, Bart?"

Donlevy Trades
Some Kno,vledge'

"Ready to take you over the
hurdles for sneaking out on me this
afternoon" Donlevy's smile be-
lied his growl.
McCale smiled back at him
steadily. He liked the man. He
had the look of careful grooming
not often associated with the police.
You would place him at about for
ty; a large man, bulking powerful
and tall against the heavy door. He
was of the new school of officers so
widely heralded but often ridiculed
college bred, scientifically trained
and carefully chosen.
'I'm not really Sore" he began.
II only wondered why you took
powder when you and Adelaide
Bigelow were practically the only
eye witnesses to this CHASTITY bust
ness. 1t dawned on me very soon
when I found no keys on the
corpse that you'd gone to Vanain-
courts apartment to steal a march
on me. Was that nice?" He raised
an eyebrow facetiously.
'Not nice, but necessary from
my point of view. I've got second
look before-after your squad has
fine-toothed a place-and there's
never been hairpin left for US fell
lows"
what exactly did you find from
being first this time?"
'Nary a clue. The place was as
clean as bone. Beyond getting
a good idea of what the lad who
lived there was like, there wasn't
a false whisker for my trouble"
"The setup he had was quite re-
vealing, wasn't it? Pure Hollywood
half De Mile. half Dorothy Drap-
er. Very suggestive. Is that all
you have found?"
II found woman"
McCale never felt it accom-
plished anything to hold out on DON
levy. It only promoted misunder-
standing and i'll feeling. It was
much better to get the evidence
first. That was all.
He watched the quick interest
fash across Donlevy's eyes before
he controlled it, before he said casu-
ally. II would call that clue,
Duke"
"Well?" he questioned.
"Shari Lynn, the chanteuse. at
present of the Latin Quarter and
The Abbey"
"Umm-I've heard of her."
McCale went on, then, to tell of
his encounter with the night club
singer He told It all, what she had
said, how she had looked. bringing
the complies picture before DON

ucEGs
"True. There is the possibility of
safe deposit box at some bank"
That's been checked. He had a
small balance at downtown bank,
but no box Of any kind"
McCale hunched himself over his
glass for a minute, musing.
1T becomes very confusing, then
For he must have got rid of every
thing last night or today. Before"
he stared unwinkingly at the rim
Of his glass-''just before he went
to his DEATH"
A long minute went by, while the
fire cracked merrily in the CRATE
while each one of the three thought
his own thoughts about this conjec-
ture. It was Donlevy who finally
shrugged it away with a sour look.
Duke McCale paused in front Of
the big man, Donlevy. The gray
haired police inspector looked up
at him and said, II suppose in re-
turn for your information you want
to be brought up to date"
"That's only fair" McCale
smiled.
Donlevy had never once let him
down in a matter Of this kind,
though he covered it always with
an air of assumed i'll grace.
