Giving his younger son and
a friend a few pointers on box
ing at Barney Neighborhood
House gym, Joe is a proud
parent.
Joe, who won 1T out of 1877
fights during a e-flghting
career before he was married,
isn't interested particularly in
having his sons become boxers.
But he does want them to have
a good background in all-round
athletics and sportsmanship.
During the war, Joe's wife,
Molly, decided she wanted to
do her part. Joe was working
at the Navy Yard. Molly
hadn't had a Job for II years
when she started loading fuses
for torpedoes at Bellevue Mag
aZine. ~ ea.-s.e- -
One day, four months later,
there was an explosion on the
job. Joe got an emergency call
from Providence Hospital. But

Arlington Sells Bond
Issue Of $1,776,000
To Build 5 Schools

A $1,776,000 issue OF Arlington
school bonds was sold today to the
Chase National Bank of New York,
at an interest rate of az per cent.
The bonds, which will finance
construction of five elementary
schools, also brought a premium of
$8,5o7. They will be retired over q
25-year period.
School Board Chairman Barnard
Joy said the board was "elated"
over the sale, which he described as
extremely advantageous" for the
county. It had been estimated that
the rate would be at least 3 per cent.
A total Of eight bids, ranging from
2s4 per cent with i $26, 800 permipm
to the successful offer by the Chase
Bank were received.
Delay in Sale Explained.
Mr.. Joy yesterday explained why
the bonds were not sold until II
months after they were approved by
the voters.
"The former School Board was In
office for seven months after the
bonds were voted" MIR. Joy said.
They did not 60 ahead with any
plans to sell the bonds so nothing
had been done when the present
board took office In January"
1--WE felt 1t would be a serious
mistake to build elementary schools
in any section of Arlington unless
we had exact information showing
us the areas of greatest nee5," -
said.
More Money Held Needed.
Startling facts" brought out by
a special census showed the board
that the elementary school bonds
which had been voted in May would
not nearly meet the needs for schools
in the county, he said.
I'VE found nearly 10000 preschool
youngsters who would come into Our
schools in a short time, and we i'm
mediately realized the need for more
bond money. This resulted in the
petition for the bond issue for school
building which is to come before the
voters on November O."
He said the final delay in selling
the bonds came when the School
Board was advised to wait to sell its
bonds along with the sale of bonds
for a county incinerator. This was
done to get the best possible"
market for the securities, he added.

composed OF persons known to
psychiatrists as "compulsive-obses-
sives."
These people absolutely must do
things In a certain way" he ex-
planned. Their lives have to ap-
pear to be conducted as efficiently
as possible, or else they are not
comfortable. They are constantly
bothered by the thought that they
are losing time-that they have all
kinds of headlines to meet.
Actually" the psychiatrist con-
tinued, very few of them really are
people who have important dead
lines to meet. They just think they
have. They have too high con-
science values regarding the little,
unimportant things in life. If some
body in front of them takes a few
extra seconds getting through the
intersection, 1t violates their sense
of efficiency. So they toot. A lot
OF them get ulcers, too."
If you belong in either of these
groups, 1t doesn't mean you should
necessarily make a dash. for the
couch in the nearest psychiatrist' S
office, DR.. Duval said. The cures
are fairly simple. Psychiatrists tell
patients who over compensate for
feelings Of inferiority that they
should stop trying to camoufage
their shortcomings-that they can
afford to admit to themselves and
the world the normal weaknesses
and liabilities of their personalities
Just Relax.
The advice to compulsive-o -obses-
sives is even more concise: Relax"
DR.. Duval said he agrees with
Inspector Arthur E. Miller, head of
the Police traffic department, and
with George E. Keneipp, District
director of the Department of
Vehicles and Traff1c,N that unneces-
|sary horn-honking adds to the auto
accident rate here. He said the
theory expounded by these officials
yesterday makes psychiatric sense
you don't have to be a psychia-
trist to realize that any sudden
stimulus tends to needle one into
an emotional response" DR.. Duval
concluded. Horn-honking or tele-
phone ringing or anything like that
sets up emotional tension, and
when an anxious-type driver gets
too much Of it and over-reacts to
the stimulus, all hell can break
loose"

Fine Music, Superlative Playing
Mark Concert by Philadelphians

more grandiose but the proportions
were so skillfully adhered to that
its character was preserved. 1t was
one Of the best performances Mr..
Firkusny has given here, free in
pattern, crystal clear as to tech
nical delivery, expressive, and of
refined style. From the sensitive
angle of his own temperament, he
made it both poetic and virile, yet
not overriding either one.
Eugene Ormandy, who has the
rare ability to adjust the orchestral
accompaniments to the style and
mood of the soloist, matched the
artist in his endeavors and the
cohesion of the two parts was
achieved with remarkable smooth
ness. 1t was an opportunity to hear
the concerto not as a virtuoso num-
Der solely or as display of power
on either side but as united effort
to discourse both the lyrical lowell
ness and the heroic flights of the
composer to the brilliant and jocund
finale.
The novelty of the program was
the first public performance of Harl
McDonald's new Saga of the Mis-
sissippi" 1t Is a work that traces
the life of the river, as it were, from
its primeval period, and the COM
poser has most cleverly combined
the various elements the centuries
brought in q telling tone picture.
He does this by an expert handling
OF the orchestral effects, sometimes
countering the massed strings with
the massed woodwinds or drawing
the latter out to a gradually devel-
oped full tone against the muted
strings. The perspicacity he used in
the treatment of the Canadian In
dian fishing call, the juxtaposition
of the churchly chant, in the second
section called Father of Waters"
and the atmospheric development
of the first prehistoric Mississippi"
create a flashing kaleidoscope re-
view of the influences on this coun-
try's growth that had their incep-
ton on this river.
It might almost be called a docu-
mentary symphonic number and the
composer has added another
strongly designed work to the sew
eral he has written on American
subjects. It's unfoldment under MIR.

It was a program replete with fine
music and s,perlative playing that
the Philadelphia Orchestra offered
last night for the first of its two
concerts this week in Constitution
Hall. The music held variety yet
each number in its way had full

chords called for its enlargement,

building up of the drama
