opposition, may be introduced at

placed before the last Congress,
he explained, because of it's pos
sible effect on this years mar
ketS.
Urges Vote for Quotas.
Mr.. Small revealed his plan
to a reporter just before he urged
Southern Maryland leaf growers
to vote for Government acreage
quotas and price supports in a
referendum this fall.
Speaking to nearly 200 plant
ers at Prince Georges County
Farm Bureaus annual picnic on
the Marlboro fair grounds Satur-
day, the Representative warned
against being "lulled to sleep by
better prices this year."
Il realize there is strong feel
ing against Federal controls of
any kind and I may be going
out on a limb" he declared, "but
my advice would be to support
the Government program"
Mr.. Small placed a crown on
the head of Miss Mary Lou
Smith, 17-year-old daughter of
Dudley Smith of Mltchellville,
president of the county Farm Bu-
reau. She will represent Prince
Georges in the Miss Farmette
contest at the Timonium Fair
next month. Runner-up in
yesterdays judging was Shirley
Richardson of Brandywine, also
II.
His bill to require cigarette
makers to disclose the contents
of their products would be sim
liar in nature, Mr.. Small said, to
requirements of the Pure Food
and Drug Act.
AS cigarettes are now labeled,
he pointed out, there is no way
for the public to know whether
chemicals are used to accelerate
burning or for other purposes.
Cites Lung Cancer.
Mr.. Small made it clear that
he did not intend to say or i'm
ply that chemicals are being used
in cigarettes. He observed, how
ever, that medical authorities
have reported an increase in the
number of lung cancer cases and
that some physicians have said
inveterate smokers are believed
to be especially susceptible.
If chemicals are used to has
ten cigarette burning, Mr.. Small
remarked, less local tobacco
would be needed because free
burning is one of the chief sales
qualities of Maryland's type 80
leaf.
Mr.. Small said he does not
propose to force manufacturers
to disclose secret processes but
declared that II believe our peo-
pie have a right to know what is
in the cigarettes they smoke"

School Bus Removal
Alarms Parents in
Temp|eton KnoIIs

Alarmed at the prospect that
their children will have to walk
to school along roads without
sidewalks, a group of Templeton
KnollS (MdD parents will hold
a strategy meeting this week.
A special meeting of the Tenn
pleton Knolls Civic Association
has been called for 8 pm. Thurs
day in the Riverdale fire house.
Parents of children who will
attend the Wildercroft Ele-
mentary School next month re-
Gently learned that the Prince
Georges County Board of Educa-
ton has decided to suspend
school bus service from Temple
ton Knolls.
Parents May Balk.
Mrs. A. Russell Romer, of 6217
Kennedy street, Templeton
Knolls, declared she will not
send her 6-year-old daughter,
Linda, to the school if the child
has to walk. Other parents may
do the same.
Mrs. Romer said children
walking to the school would have
to follow this route:
A path from Templeton Knolls
leading across a creek via a
newly-constructed foot bridge;
then, along East Pines drive for
several blocks (no Sidewalks) .
and down Riverdale road (no
sidewalks) to the school.
After heavy rains. Mrs. Rom
er said the approaches to the
foot t-bridge are under 212 to 3
feet of water. The creek sands
themselves are treacherous, she
said.
Situation Explaided.
County School Supt. William
F. Schmidt said:
II can see how parents of very
young children would be fearful
of the stream and bridge"
Construction of the new foot
bridge was one of the boards
reasons for taking away the bus,
he said. Also, the county oper-
ates under rule to provide buses
for pupils a mile and a half or
more from schools. The super
intendent said the farthest point
in Templeton Knolls is IA miles
from the school.
If the parents keep their
youngsters out of school the
Board of Education could in
woke Maryland's compulsory
school attendance law Mr..
Schmidt said. The law applies
to 7-year-olds and up. He esti-
mated that IS to IS children
from Templeton Knolls will at

A new menace has invaded
Maryland truck farms.
It's called the russet mite and
is so small you can hardly see
it with the naked eye. Special
lists at the University of Mary

News of Music
New Chance
ToAIterMusicoI Effort
Resolutions to Add to Public Comfort, Change
Proqrumminq and Artists Are in Order
By Alice Eversmon

There is always room for i'm
provement in matters concern
ing the presentation of music
and the beginning Of a new year
is a good time to consider the
point. Year by year. musicians.
promoters and the public go
along enduring the same condi-
tions without thought Of change.
A number of things could be bet
tered that would lead to greater
enjoyment of music and give an
impulse to its advancement.
Take the question of fresh air
in concert halls. It may seem
to be of small import but two
hours spent in listening to a
concert in a heavy atmosphere
is not conducive to complete
appreciation. Some means Of
ventilating an auditorium with
out too great decrease in tenn
perature could surely be found.
It is not easy to accomplish to
every ones satisfaction, we
know, remembering the answer
the former manager of Consti-
tuition Hall, Fred Hand, once
made in answer to a complaint:
"How do you expect me to sat-
isfy people with low blood pres
sure and people with high blood
pressure at the same time"
1t is about time. too, that
1nstrumentalistS refrain from
swaying when they play. Some
times the entire violin section
in an orchestra bends back and
forth like a field of wheat against
the wind. Chamber music groups
are famous for their bending,
each individual following his
own inclinations or the rhythm
OF his part. Whatever the in
centive, it is greatly disturb
ing to the eyes and to the mind
Of the public.
A PIeo for English
The coming seasons would
be enhanced if singers would
sing more Of the better songs
with text in the original
English and venture occa-
sionally to sing the great works
of the foreign literature in
translationS so that the audi
ence could enjoy them and un-
derstand them at the same
time. When speaking Of sing
ers, it would be well to remem-
ber that the Metropolitan OPP
era label does not always mean
the most perfect production or
performance.
Surely, also, 1t would not be
difficult to have more original
ity in program making. Must
an orchestral concert begin al
ways with an overture? A con-
ductor who dared to open with
a full-length symphony of real
worth would not violate any
music rules. Soloists could for
sake the stereotyped arrange
ment Of a recital program and
offer some surprises in the list
ing. Very often certain types of
music do not suit their style of
playing yet the artists feel 1t
necessary to follow the pat
tern from classic to modern be-
cause the public is accustomed
to such q plan.
One reason q short number

is placed first. on a symphony
program in particular, is to
allow the late comers to be
seated in the interval following.
A good resolution for the new
year would be a determination
to leave home IS minutes
earlier in order not to cause too
long a delay or interrupt the
atmosphere of the concert by
a tardy arrival. Weather con-
ditions cause much of the
trouble but negligence is also
to be blamed.
Will the day ever come when
a major concert can be listened
to in a soft light? Even with
the lights dimmed in Constitu-
ton Hall and the Coolidge audi
torium, the situation is not ideal.
Musicians need to see the music
with ease, but the brilliance sur
rounding the performers hinders
a thorough immersion in the
music heard. The radio has
proven how effective it is to
listen in a subdued light to the
one art that can set the audi
ence to dreaming its finest
dreams.
GombIe on ToIent
It would be most helpful to
music's growth the coming year
If both managers and public
would welcome more native mu-
SicianS. Instead of booking ar
fists, already scheduled, for an
other appearance in a few weeks,
managers could gamble a little
on unknown talent. They would
need the support Of the public,
naturally, and some indication
OF a willingness to accept a new
name and a new kind of talent
would be the only spur a man
ager would need to strike out
on what might be a most re-
warding adventure.
The custom has been es-
tablished in most big cities, and
Washington is no exception, of
sticking by the tried-and-true
and of following a routine in
music presentation which has
proved reliable. Composers re-
belled long ago against ira
dition and the world has bene-
fitted by what they have ac-
complished. Artists rarely dare
to be so original and man
ayers depart from the usual
only occasionally. Each season
brings repetitions of the same
people and the same music.
It would be revolutionary and
history making. if Washington
managers and the Washington
public would agree on fresh de-
partures. All departments from
school music upward would re-
Spond to such far-seeing efforts
and be inspired to work for
greater objectives. The hoped
for opera house would material
ize; concerts here would be the
talk of the country: artists
would be alerted to do their
best, and music instruction
would be intensified. The past
year of music has been wonder
full in many respects, the new
year can be a better and more
progressive one.
