ton was gratifying, especially, since
exaggerated Importance has been
often attached to imported out
siders.
Closely related to Beethoven's en-
gaging "Septet," Brahms work, last
on the program, is simple, vital and
easy to understand. It reflects also
the strong and healthy spirit, char
acteristic of the composer In his
happiest moments. Several .oppor-
tunities are given the two celli to
be heard in ensemble above the
other strings. These passages were
notable for rhythmical delicacy and
well-blended tone of the two art
lists. A rustic solo, reserved for the
second viola, set of to advantage

Some of those who work for this Air Force

cially mistake to use such maps in teach

to the fact that the Arctic is potentially the

eight per cent Of the worlds population and
most Of Its industry are located north of 80

guilty of East-West thinking. Some months
