When Columbus County citizens

set for January to 81, 1858, thew

that their donations are financing
a triple job of work, it was point
&c! out today by Troy Mcpherson,

Dimes campaign director.
with the nation having just
experienced its worst polio cpl
demic in history" Mr.. Mcpherson
said, sit is natural for US to re-
view how the March of Dimes has
helped the stricken.
''The contributions of the A
rerican people to this great cause
has enabled the National Founda-
combat polio on three wide fronts.
S1s,GOO.O0O for Research
"Since the establishment Of the
National Foundation" Mr.. Nc
Pherson said, "some $18,OOo,Ooe
has been invested in scientific re-
search programs aimed at the
eventual conquest of the disease.
In the field of education, more
than s16,OOO,OO0 has been allocat-
ed-making it possible for more
and more skilled hands to be
trained. At the same time, PATENT
care bills amounting to $143,OOO,-
600 have been betrayed"
Pointing to the vast cost en-
tailed in this overall fight against
poilo, MIR. Mcpherson warned that
the National Foundations work
would be jeopardized unless every
American joins enthusiastically IN
the March of Dimes, January z
to 81.
"We are making real progress
against infartile paralysis, Mr..
Mcpherson concluded. Lets get
behind this drive and really put
II over the tOD."

School Board Accused
OF LACKING Plans |

The District Board of Educa-
ton was accused last night of
having no plan for school develop
ment.
Joel P. Sharon, president of the
Lamond Heights Citizens AS
sociation, told a meeting Of the
group that "the school board,
which is charged with acquiring
new sites, not only doesn't have
la 10-year plan. it doesn't have
Ifive-year or a two-year plan."
Mr.. Sharon was reporting on
his efforts in the groups behalf
to get action on a Junior high
school in the associations area.
A large tract held by the Recrea-
ton Department at Riggs road
and Madison street NV. had been
suggested to the school board, Mr..
Sharon said. But the board could
not tell him. he continued, what
the likelihood Of using part of the
land as school site might be.
The reason, Mr.. Sharon de-
clared. "is that they (the school
board members) don't have any
plan at all.
when they get some money
and some area is overcrowded,
they start looking around for
Site" he said. Until then, they
don't know where they are going
next"
He urged members to keep after
the board, so that when they are
ready to act. "our problem will be
fresh in their minds"
The group also subscribed $50
to help pay for opening the Riggs
Playground 10 weeks before the
scheduled season. Local citizens,
it was explained, will have to pay
$3.50 for supervision of the play
ground, if it is opened then.

New Music String Quartet
Initiates Chamber Series

self originally to the performance
of music Of this century, the play
ers would naturally point their
interest in this direction. Schu-
mann's Quartet in A Major, op.
Al. No. 8" seemed especially paid
by comparison. The ensemble does
not command a wide range of
dynamicS. The players substitute
sweetness Of sound for variety.
Since their debut in the Library
OF Congress two years ago, the
artists seem to have subjected
themselves to q still greater dis
cipline for the acquisition of an
exquisite purity and nghtness of
touch. Yet in spite Of that, their
reading Of Mozart was unexciting
and was rather coldly received,
especially If one compares the

News Of Music
By Elena de Soyn

A special concert in honor of
the United States National Com
mission for UNESCO started the
chamber music series in the Lii
brary Of Congress last night. The
program was given by the New
Music String Quartet. under the
auspices Of the Gertrude Clarke
Whittall Foundation. The organi-
|zation substituted for the Buda-
pest String Quartet, previously an
nounced. but unable to flll the
engagement due to the indisposi-
ton Of one Of its members.
Luther H. Evans, Librarian Of
Congress. welcomed the National
Commission with a short address.
He pointed to Samuel Barber's
String Quartet op. IL" on the
program. Its performance on this
occasion was intended as a COM
|pliment to the organization. The
composer Is a member of the Ex-
Iecutive Committee of the Inter-
national Music Council, sponsored
by the UNESCO.
The local premiere Of this opus,
still In manuscript form in the
spring of 1943, was given by the
Budapest String Quartet. At the
first hearing. the composition was
impressive for its fiuency and
vigor. Rich in consonant har-
monies. the work has an exalted
intensity and romantic beauty.
A decisive beginning lends a touch
of the dramatic which recurs at
intervals. Yet the whole SUBJ
stance Of the quartet is purely
lyric. with the viola and cello
playing an important part. The
"Adagio" is especially ingratiating.
imbued with an exalted sentiment.
OF the three compositions pre-
sented, the New Music String
Quartet was at its best in Bar

Muriel Shanahan Has A Word
For Girls With Eye On College

In the spring a high school SEN
ior's thoughts turn lightly to -
among other things what she
will do when she gets out of school
in June.
If she is lucky enough to meet
Miss Muriel Shanahan, the senior
will receive some straight-from-
the-shoulder counsel on the adj
vantages of a college education,
and especially of a Catholic college
education.
AS public relations director at
the College of st. Mary of the
Springs in Columbus, that's Miss
Shanahan's job. But she performs
her job with such enthusiasm that
it seems more like vocation.
Il think a girl should go to col
lege to develop herself as person,
spiritually and intellectually" said
Miss Shanahan this week "And as
Catholic girl think she has a
certain responsibility to attend to
that development in a Catholic col
lege."
The former Lima radio scripter
has carried her message to several
thousand young women in nearly
100 schools throughout Ohio, West
Virginia, and Western Pennsyl-
vania.
One problem she often en-
counters is ''the girl who doesn't
