One of the most popular artists
to visit Washington. Percy Granger,

Symphony yesterday afternoon.
With his assistance, the orchestra

Grainger's piano numbers the spe-

once more distinguished himself in
his conducting by the thoroughly
seasoned quality that 1t now. bears
and by the manner In which he
rose to every challenge OF the music
In Mr.. Grainger's playing of Car
penter's "Concertino' and of Liszt' 1
Hungarian Fantasy" it would seem
that the interpreters and the COM
poser's spirits met in complete af-
finity. There is no actual resern-
blance between Carpenter and List

In the individualism of their writ
ing, Mr.. Granger was the under

tino" has as It's foundation, the
employment of a thoroughly Ameri-
can rhythmic music form, In the
same manner that Liszt used the
gypsy music of his native country
In his Fantasy" The pulse of these
works found perfect expression in
Mr.. Grainger's unusually keen
metric sense.
Carpenters work is light hearted
and jovial and flows with constant
facile grace. It has lurking ten
derness, never openly expressed but
apparent in the gentle urgency Of
the music. The opulence of the
piano part is neither insistant or
dramatic but rather rejoicing in
vigorous discourse with the orches-

The residence of Mr.. Grainger's
playing is an ear-mark Of his style
It is vividly alive, glowing with

that phrases are clusters OF notes

the sense of form is ever present,

Local officers, the State High

time 25 patrol cars were blocking

May Have Been in Somersville
Authorities received one report
which might indicate the direc-
ton the pair took out of town. but
were not placing too much cred
ence upon it. Corporal Shaw, of
the Bellefontaine highway pa
troll, said Charles Coons, proprie-
tor of the restaurant in Somers-
vile, thought the men might have
been in his place about p. m. on
Tuesday.
The Patrolman stopped at the
restaurant for a routine check
and gave the proprietor de-
scription of the men. Mr.. Coons
snapped his fingers for emphasis
and declared, "Those are the guys
who were in here this noon"
Two men answering the bur-
glars descriptions had stopped
in the place for a cup of coffee,
coming in one at a time. while
the other stayed in the car. One
of the pair talked to a waitress
for a considerable time. Mr..
Coons said they were driving a
green 1910 Ford with Michigan
license plates.

The burglars were described by
their victims as being quite

Added drive for more enlist

the Ohio National Guard between
now and May IS. The company

reach our goal so we can go to
camp this summer" 1st Lit John
w. Spain, company adjutant, has

Camp Perry was used as a pris-

during the later phases of the
war, but as training center and
proving ground in the earlier
days. 1t has now been turned
back to Ohio for National Guard
training.

Pior to World War II, Marys-
ville's old Company E held all
encampments at Camp Perry, so
the place is familiar to many To-

ever, many Improvements were
made for training and living
quarters, including permenent
kitchen facilities.
Also included in the improve
ments were better recreation fac
ilities, including a large theatre,
regulation athletic field, and one
of the finest beaches anywhere
for swimming.
Rate of pay for field training
while at Camp Perry will be the
same as regular army pay, plus
accumulated longevity pay for
service in the old National Guard
