Legion Auxiliary
Poppy Day Sale
TO Be Saturday

The annual Poppy Day sale
will be conducted by the Ameri-
can Legion auxiliary in London
Saturday May 26, Miss Betty
Weimer, auxiliary president, an
nounced today.
The memorial poppy the Legion
Auxiliary asks local residents to
wear was made by hospitalized
veterans to honor the dead of two
World Wars and now Korea. More
than that, it is the veterans at
tempt to take care of their own.
Wearing the Poppy is an express
sion of gratitude for what our
service men have accomplished.
Members of the London auxil-
iary, Miss Weimer, Mrs. Floyd
Williams and Miss Ruth Arm
strong visited the Ohio Soldiers
and Sailors Home at Sandusky
recently and toured the Poppy
Shop where the thousands of pop
pies are made by veterans who
do not receive a pension. They
reported some of the men can
make as many as so poppies per
hour.
1T is worth anyone's time to
drive up there and see this home, =
said Miss Weimer.
Being President of the Auxil-
iary I'm asking every man, woman
and child in the community and
near by to buy a Poppy Satur-
day May 26. When you see the
bright red Poppy which the
American Legion Auxiliary Ladies
have Saturday don't hesitate to
buy even if they don't see you
first.
All the money which we make
is used for Hospital Care for the
Veterans Hospitals in Chillicothe
Dayton and elsewhere.

do you know what would be
expected of you as registered
nurse, if an Atom bomb were
dropped ON or near your COM
munity today? Or if thousands
of casualties were evacuated to
this area in the next "a hours
from bombed city?
Every aDle-bodied person
would be required to help, and
you as a nurse would be looked
upon as a leader to help bring
order out of chaos. You would un-
doubtedly be called upon to do
many things not usually required
of nurses; procedures normally
done by doctors and laboratory
technicians, such as screening OF
patients as to type of casualty, in
travenus injections, and blood
counts, among others.
"You would supervise Nurses
Aids and men and women even
now taking Home Nursing and
First Aid courses. You would need
to know how to improvise as
supplies and equipment woulc
be at a. minimum; how to care
for large numbers of burn cases
and the many other injuries that
would result; what to do about
the terror and shock that woule
overcome many people; how tC
recognize radiation sickness and
how to handle the mothers and
their babies who are born spon.
taneously and often prematurelS
as result of the bombing"
The one day institute has beer
planned to help prepare nurse!
to meet these responsibilities, in
Guiding lectures, demonstrations
and movies on the three effects o

Ohio State University and Ohi'

Music
BIoch,s Program
Is Dominated by
individuality
By Elena de Soyn

A program that listed novelties
and invited comparisons between
such diverse personalities as Al
kan, Chavez and Scriabin. was
given by Joseph Bloch, pianist, in
the Phillips Gallery last, night.
Submerged in the strong in
dividuality Of the performer, the
music did not permit individual
appraisal, serving. instead, as an
effective vehicle for his pianism.
Mr.. Bloch's playing is forceful;
It has abandon and fire. He elec-
trifes his listeners and can put
over anything, even such abstrac-
tions as Chavez's Sonata" But
to do justice to Chavez is one
thing and to play Scriabin is an
other. A mystic such as Scriabin
is not a geometrician like Chavez
and cannot be dispensed with in
the same abstract manner.
The pianist is inclined to fol-
low one pattern of Interpretation
in everything he plays and makes
1t fit. To hear one number was
to have heard the three, Alkan's
lie Festin d'Esope" leading in
interest and variety. Relaxed and
gentle in certain sections of
Scriabin's fifth sonata, Mr.. Bloch
could send sparks of Internal fury
in others, applying the same
method, the same type of touch to
Chavez and Alkan. AS presented.
Alkan's work seemed the most
congenial of the three, more
musical and richer in purely
pianistic display. The drama and
spirituality of Scriabin wholly
escaped Mr.. Bloch, as did its
stupendeous climax.
While disagreeing with his gen.
eral interpretative approach, it is
easy to grant that Mr.. Bloch has
a superior talent, ability and per-
sonality.
