The National Symphony wrote
a brilliant flnis to its nineteenth
season of concerts with the per-
formance of Richard Strauss
Death and TRANSPORTATION" in
Constitution Hall yesterday after
noon. In top form, the orchestra
and Howard Mitchell. the con-
ductor, gave an excellent reading
to the symphonic poem and to a
select program which included
Wards spirited "Jubilation-An
Overture; Ibert's descriptive "Es-
Gales" and Brahms "Double-Con-
certo for Violin, Cello and Or
cheStra."
The interest was centered on
the concerto. not played here
since 1941. and especially on the
joint appearance in this of the
Ricci brothers. Ruggiero, the
violinist, and George. the cellist.
both of whom had been heard in
the city individually.
The concerto, one of Brahms
most powerful expressions of his
personality and style, has no equal
in the music literature. .Tonally,
technically and interpretatively it
places great demands upon each
of the executants and calls for a
virtuoso approach. AS was eX-
pected these requirements were
met with confidence and artistic
maturity. The ensemble had the
perfection of minute coordination
in the many tricky figurations Of
like nature. Both instrumentalists
are masters, possess brilliant
technique and full, warm tone.
The performance had only one
defect. The lack of carrying power
in George Ricci's cello hindered
his tonal projection on par and
beyond that of the violin. The
work calls for the lead in the
cello in sorority. in conviction and
force. This time it was the Or
chestra which lent the concerto
its proper character. The tutti
were nodded with strength and
vigor. while the balance in other
places was well maintained. It is
a composition which ranks with
Brahms other masterpieces and
deserves frequent hearing. Nine
years between performances is a
long time. The soloists, the con-
ductor and the orchestra were re-
called enthusiastically several
times.

Three Separate Camps
For the 1850 summer season,
there will be three separate camps
in operation on the Rodney reser-
walton, each with its own camp di-
rector and staff. The Pathfinder
Camp, comprising the area and
camps which was the original
Camp Rodney, includes the Pioneer,
Ranger, Sourdough, Cheechakoo
and Nanticoke Camps. The Sour
dough and Nanticoke Camps are
reserved for troops with their own
leaders, while the Pioneer, Ranger,
and Cheechakoo Camps will accom-
modate the scouts who come with
out their own leaders. James w.
Lanning, District Scout Executive
of the Wilmington District, will be
camp director of the Pathfinder
Camps.
The Wilderness Camps, to be di-
rected by Ernest H. Wilson, Dis
trict Executive of the Sussex and
Dover Districts, include Wilderness
Camps No. 3 and 5, the Cliff Dwell
ers, Windy Point, Adirondack,
Lone Pine and Fisherman's Camps.
These camps are entirely for the
use of troops with their own lead
ers.
The Senior Camp, formerly
known as the Sea Scout Base, will
offer a program of sailing, over
night cruises using pulling boats
as well as sail boats, and out-of-
camp hiking expeditions for Ex-
plorer units under their own lead
ers or for individual Explorers. Ex-
plorer units coming to camp with
their own leaders will be assigned
to a separate section of the camp,
while individual Explorers will be
formed into crews to carry on a
program under the Senior Camp
staff. All campers in this camp
will live in two-man tents on wood
platforms, ana will eat all meals
in the central dining hall. James M.
Shorts, director of camp training,
will be Camp director.

SCOUT CAMPS
OPEN JUNE Is
Rodney Camps on Chesapeake
Bay Will Open 33rd Sum-
mer Season for Scouts
900 BOYS REGISTERED

The Rodney Scout Camps on the
Chesapeake Bay at Elk Neck, Cecil
County, Maryland, will open on
June 20 for its 33rd summer season
with more boys signed up in ad-
vance than in any previous year,
according to announcement made
recently by George Ehinger, Of
Dover, chairman of the Del-Mar-
Va Councils Camping and Activi-
ties Committee.
To date, more than 900 boys are
registered, which is almost the
total number that attended camp
last year, according to Mr. Ehing-
er's report. Forty-four troops have
reserved sites for one week or
more where they will camp under
their own troop leaders, and regis
trations of individual scouts are
now being received at the Scout
Office, 2 East Ninth Street, Will
mington.
Scouts who are going to camp
as individuals, that is, without
their own troop leadership, are
urged to get their applications in
early for the camp periods of their
choice. The third, fourth, fifth and
sixth weeks are filling up rapidly,
but there are still vacancies in all
weeks. Information on registra-
tion and camp costs can be secured
from any Scoutmaster or at the
Scout Office. telephone Wilmington
8-4351.
Two types of camping are again
offered this year. Troops with their
own leaders reserve a camp site for
their own use and have exclusive
use of that camp for one or two
weeks. They follow a program
worked out in advance by the troop
leaders and their District Execu-
tive, calling on the resident camp
staff for any additional help need
ed. Some troops do part or all
of their own cooking, while others
have their food brought from the
camps central kitchen to their
camp site in insulated heater sacks.
Each troop has its own dining hall
and kitchen, as well as washhouse,
latrine and crafts shelter. Camp
wide activities offer the opportun-
ity for troops from all areas of the
Council to work and play and do
scouting together.
The second type of camping is
the method long in use at Camp
Rodney. Individual scouts, or
small groups from the same troop
but without their own troop lead
ers, camp in Provisional troops in
the Pathfinder Camp under the
leadership of a camp staff scout
master and his assistant. These
scouts become temporary members
of camp troop, and under their
camp scoutmaster carry on pro-
gram that develops individual
skills as well as offers boys the op-
portunity to live with and get to
know other boys from widely sep
arated communities of the Council
area. Scouts in Provisional troops
get instruction from their own boy
leaders as well as from members
of the camp staff. All boys in this
area of the camp eat their meals
in the large Pathfinder Dining
Hall.

SALUTE TO Al
FARM SAFETY
All Farm and Home Safety
Program Active 365
Days a Year
STARTED 8 YEARS AGO

National Farm Safety Week is
being observed throughout rural
America, July 1929. Therefore we
feel that now is the time to salute
another nationwide safety activi-
ty in progress S65 days a year.
It is the All Farm and Home
Safety program carried on by near
ly half million All Club men,
bers between the ages of 10 and
21. We are told that these youths,
who conduct safety surveys of their
home farms and neighboring
farmsteads, have the best organ
lied safety program. in the rrual
field. They not only ferret out haz-
ards, but follow through and cor
rect thousands of unsafe conditions
relating to farm machinery, live
stock, homemaking, recreation,
motoring, and scores of other
things.
Since the project was launched
on national basis eight years ago,
enrolment has increased five
times. This would indicate that
our farm boys and girls have
steadily become more safety mind
ed. 1t means, also, that in addition
to the Alters themselves, safety
education has reached parents,
residents of the local community,
club leaders, and extension person
mel.
So it seems a foregone conclu-
sion that many times the half
million young folks taking part in
the All safety program are infiu-
enced and benefited. Perhaps this
widespread fiux in safety know
ledge will prove to be a direct
route to decreasing the 1880 fatal
accidents to farm people each year
or save some of the $4,000 farm
buildings destroyed by fire; or put
to constructive use the 81, 900, 0,000,-
900 in losses annually represented
by these disasters.

education, we take off our hats to
