and county fire company and law
enforcement officials, asking their
advice, assistance and cooperation.
Red Cross chapter officials state
that the preparedness steps being
taken here are in line with wide
spread activity in communities all
over the nation. They point out that
American Red Cross disaster relief
operations expenditures in April,
May and June of this year exceeded
50, 900, 000-more than in either of
the two preceding fiscal years, and
are the most extensive since 1887.
Tragedies like the Texas City ex-
plosion and the Woodward, Okla,
tornado illustrate the point that no
community can be sure it will not be
next on the disaster list.
With regard to this weeks Nation
al Fire Prevention Week activities,
they say that three comparatively
recent local fires-those at the Con-
valescent Home, Colonial Hotel and
the old Sherley Building along with
the June 7th near tornado storm and
the dry-cleaning plant explosion at
Hancock, have stimulated their eff
forts to complete the expanded Red
Cross Disaster Relief organization
here as soon as possible.

Speaks "On the Road to Manda-
lay" has been we'll treated and mall
treated by baritones over many
years but it remained for William
Chalmers, soloist at the Water Gate,
to bring back its pristine charm.
1t concluded his selections last night
and the snappy rhythm he put into
it as we'll as the splendor of his voice
climaxed an appearance which was
success throughout. He had no
difficulty in following it with the
"Di Provenza" aria from Verd1's
LA Traviata" as an encore, another
number excellently suited to his mo-
bile voice.
Mr.. Chalmers is great baritone
and an artist of sensibility. His
voice has extraordinary depth con-
sidering his facility in reaching high
tones and it is guided by tremendous
breath power that was employed
impressively in Handel's Thanks
be to God" and the prologue" to
Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci." The tend
ency to heaviness that weighed it
down somewhat in these numbers
was dispersed in the songs he Of
fered later. In these he colored it

William Chalmers Is SolOist
With Symphony at Water Gate

loosed its volume with greater free
dom. Rachmaninoff's I'm the Silence
Of the Night" has never been sung
better or with more correct spacing
of its effects and Goehl's popular
For You Alone" received also a
warmly tinted delivery. But it was
in the old favorite, "On the Road
to Mandalay," that Mr.. Chalmers
showed his interpretative ability for
he invested it with verve and thrill
of a special kind. The audience ap-
plauded wildly for encores.
In every respect, the program
was one of the best presented this
season. There was the heartening
presence of large audience and
fine playing by the National Sym
phony under Richard Bales direc-
ton, of numbers pleasantly light
without being too popular in char
acter. 1t seems long time since
stars twinkled in the sky as they did
last night and the atmospheric con-
ditions on the river site were as they
should have been all along. The
weather has not been friendly to
this summers musical efforts but
the Water Gate has not been the
only place that has suffered from its
cratic behavior.
There is no gainsaying that a
large attendance helps considerably
to determine the character of a
performance. Mr.. Bales, as musical
director and conductor, has never
permitted the presentation of the
programs to slacken in spirit or
finesse and Howard Mitchell has
observed the same attitude. But g
sea of interested faces is warming
sight for the musicians and a multi
tude applauding more inspiring than
a. few. There is a current estab-
lished that affects every one. This
was experienced last night.
Mr.. Bales has a communicating
zest in his directing to which the
orchestra men respond with alacrity
and which was exemplified in the
several numbers based on dance
forms that made up most of the
program. There was the graceful
and sometimes stately dances of the
early 18th century which Bach in
corporated in his Suite in G Major"
and which Eugene Goossens ar
ranged for orchestra. Their moving
forward more than a century. came
the charming Concert Waltz No.
in D Major" by Glazounov and the
ocean was crossed to find the three
fiddle tunes of John Powell's
"Natchez- Hill and the mod
ern rhythm of the "Scherzo" from
William Grant Stills "Afro-Amer-
lean Symphony"
More solemn moments were
reached in the dramatic "Leonore
Overture No. 3" by Beethoven and
the strange power that resides in
Woltmann's Solitude" The re-
markable manner in which Bee
thoven has keyed the tension in the
overture and then relaxed 1t with
the serenity of lovely song were
eXcellently defined in Mr.. Bales
reading as was the sombre but by
no means contemplative character
of Woltmann's work. There were
sufficient tests of musicianship in
the dance numbers from the extreme
of Bach's calm classicism to the
primitive beat in Stills "Scherzo"
that the musicians and their dy-
manic leader fully met. 1t was re-
warding program which the audience
thoroughly enjoyed, ending with the
richly colored Suite from Bizet's
