B0ndIe0der Paul LovoIIe
Is Brass Bond|s S Best Friend
By Harry Macarthur

Paul Lavalle is one radio en-
tertainer who is unconcerned
over the inroads of televiSion.
Mr.. Lavalle, as you hardly need
to be told. is the conductor Of
cities Services Band of
America" heard every Monday
night on the NBC radio network.
He was in town yesterday to
broadcast from Constitution
Hall at the opening of the in
ternational convention of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Mr.. Lavalle and Band of
America" will be on television
eventually. he said, when TV Is
available to enough of the peo-
pie with whom his sponsor deals.
Right now he is not too worried
about the loss of his radio au-
dience to the new medium. He
deals in commodity which
television Is not overburdened
with - music.
More people paid admission
to concerts last year than to
professional baseball games"
Mr.. Lavalle says firmly. "If the
people didn't have music, they'd
miss it, without knowing what
they missed" Consequently, Mr..
Lavalle believes, people who love
music will not give it up just to
look at moving pictures in the
living room.
He is not anti-television, mind
you. He just feels that all the
millions who buy records do it
so they can listen to music.
X X +
Now nearing the end of his
fifth years as the Band of
America" conductor, Mr.. La
vale is as enthusiastic a sup
porter as bands have had since
the late John Philip SouSa. He
was a singing strings" type Of
conductor for a long time on
radio, but he started out as
bandsman while still in school.
That was with his brothers
band in a small town in New
York. He has been filled ever
since with q feeling that the
town band or the school band
is an ideal nucleus for COM
munity spirit.

everybody in town who was
called into service. Two Of my
brothers would start out at the
town hall, with just trumpet and
drums. They'd pass the butcher
shop and the butcher would
come out in his white apron
and straw hat and join the
band. The shoemaker would
come out of his shop. They'd
come by the school and another
boy and I. who had permission
would join them.
by the time we got to the
station we'd have II or 18 men
in the band. It was a real COM
munity enterprise"
Mr.. Lavalle is happy with his
sponsor, who doesn't go In for
high-pressure huckstering, and
proud of the band he has been
paid to conduct for the past five
years. There are 48 men in it,
most of them versatile enough to
double on several instruments.
This versatility makes more than
80 instruments available to the
conductor. Mr.. Lavalle himself
plays a number of them.
Il had to learn them," he ex-
plains. I'VE never knew who
might not be able to show up in
my brothers band, so as fast as
I learned one instrument, I had
to start on another. I had to be
ready to fill in for anybody miss
ing"
Mr.. Lavalle now spends great
deal of his time helping out as
many as possible of the eight
million band members in the
country. A lot of his travelling
is done on his own, to aid boys
club movements and to conduct
massed school bands at various
festivities.
Give young boys and girls an
interest in music. he feels. and
we have nothing to worry about.
Teach a boy to play Yankee
Doodle on a flute" says Mr..
Lavalle, land he's a new boy. He
can do something that nobody
else in the world can do for him. "
II X y X
An ardent student Of band
lore, Mr.. Lavalle is quick to point
out that it was a bandmaster
who introduced classical music
to a great part of the country.
That was Patrick Sarsfield Gill
more, who pre-dated Sousa and
toured the land playing Tschai-
kowsky, Wagner and others "long
before there were symphony or
chastras everywhere"
"Sousa himself" according to
Mr.. Lavalle, used to play Sousa
compositions only as encores
He'd play the 1912 Overture and
things Of that sort first"
The demands of radio have
forced the Band of America"
conductor to emulate the mas
ter. Sousa, Mr.. Lavalle thinks,
wrote the best of the marches,
but unfortunately he did not
write enough Of them. In order
to keep the program fresh while
playing seven or eight band
selections a week, Mr.. Lavalle
has had to compose a number OF
marches of his own. He has
turned out 20 in the past five
years.
II never knew how hard it was
to write a good march until I
had to sit down and try" he says.
Its easy to write a longer piece
Of music. In Is or 20 minutes or
half an hour. you have time to
develop themes. In a march you
have to work together three
themes in three or three and a
half minutes"
Difficult as writing marches
may be, Mr.. Lavalle has the
satisfaction Of knowing that he
was successful enough on at least
one occasion that he will be rep
resented musically in the corona
ton procession. His English born
wife thinks he now has arrived.

Easter Ham Baked in Aluminium Foil
By Violet FouIkner

Fashions may come and FASH
ions may 60. but q tender, juicy
ham remains q style leader in
the Easter parade Of food fa-
vorites. When you purchase
your ham for this festive occa-
sion do it with an eye to using
every fiavorful bite. Plan to star
It in several hearty meals later
In the week.
With the markets offering so
many types Of hams, all re-
curing slightly different cooking
methods. the situation can be o
bit. confusing to the housewife.
If you're buying q whole ham
the chances are it will still be
In the packers wrappingS with
cooking directions intact. Half
hams, pieces and slices may be
more difilcult to identify If the
lettering on the edge has been
partially removed.
Modern hams are Of two gen.
eral types: The "cook-before-
eating" ham Is often advertised
or marked simply as tenderized,
and needs q fairly long cooking
period. "Ready-to-eat" means
the ham is probably safe to eat
without cooking but the texture
and flavor are improved by cook
ing Just like the uncooked ham.
Canned hams are ready to use
as taken from the can and may
be reheated or not just as you
choose. None Of these hams
require soaking or cooking in
water, contrary to the belief Of
some cooks.
Ham can be prepared in any
number of ways and all with sue
cesSful results. One Of the easi-
est we think is with aluminium
foil. It holds in all the natural
juices and it's possible to speed
up the cooking without any loss
of flavor. You'll notice our reci-
pes for today call for q higher
temperature and shorter cooking
time than those usually specified
by the packers. Foil has another
advantage, too, it lets you dispose
of the melted fats easily and
keeps the oven and pan clean.
BAKED HAM IN ALUMINIUM
FOIL.
For the "cook before eating
type" rinse ham and dry. Place
ham on q large sheet Of alumni
mum foil. Use the 18-inch-wide
heavy-duty foil or the 12-inch-
wide standard-weight foil, join
ing two pieces Of the latter to-
gether with a tight double fold.
If necessary. Rub the ham with
u cup brown sugar and 2 tea
spoons grated orange rind for
additional flavor, if desired.
Bring foil up over ham and seal
all edges together with q tight
double fold. Place wrapped ham
in a shallow pan and bake in q
moderately hot oven (400 degrees
F), allowing II minutes per
pound for q whole ham and Is
minutes per pound for q half

ham. Remove from oven, open
foil and lift out ham. Pour of
melted fat. Replace foil in pan
and smooth out to line pan.
Place ham in the lined pan. Re-
move rind and score fat in dia-
mond shape pattern. Stud with
whole cloves in center of each
diamond. Spread with q mixture
Of cup brown sugar, ! teaspoon
dry mustard and Just enough
wine, vinegar or fruit juice to
moiSten. Return to the oven Is
minutes to brown.
If you want your Easter ham
to look picture-pretty when 1t
comes from the oven be sure
to score the top evenly. Here's
a trick the experts use when
readying a ham for the camera:
Place toothpicks at measured
intervals along the top edges
as guidepoSts to assure uniform,
well-Shaped diamonds. Cut par
allel gaShes in the surface Of
the fat at about 1-inch inter-
walls. Do this in two directions
to form diamond patterns. You
can cut single lines to form the
conventional pattern or double
lines for a more festive design.
READY-TO-EAT-HAM.
Place the ham on q large
sheet of aluminium foil and wrap
as above. Place in moderately
hot oven (400 degrees F.) and
bake whole ham / hour, half
ham IS minutes. Ham may be
given q brown sugar glaze as
above and returned to the oven
for browning.
