Enraptured by thu splendor of
your heavenly beauty, and impelled
by the anxieties Of the world, we
cast ourselves into your arms. o
Immaculate Mother of Jesus and
our Mother. Mary, confident Of
finding in your most loving heart
appeasement of our ardent desires,
and a safe harbor from the tenn
pests which beset us on every side.
Though degraded by our faults
and overwhelmed by infinite mis-
cry, we admire and praise the peer
less richness of sublime gifts with
which God has filled you, above
every other mere creature, from
the first moment of your Concep-
ton until the day on which, after
your Assumption into heaven. He
crowned you Queen of the Uni
verse.
o crystal Fountain of faith,
bathe our minds with the eternal
truths! o fragrant Lily of all holi-
ness, captivate our hearts with
your heavenly perfume! o Con-
queress of evil and death, inspire
in us deep horror of sin which
makes the soul detestable to God
and a slave of hell
o well-beloved of God, hear the
ardent cry which rises up from
every heart in this year dedicated
to you. Bend tenderly over our ach-
ing wounds. Convert the wicked,
dry the tears of the afflicted and
comfort the poor and
humble, queneh hatreds, sweeten
harshness, safeguard the flower of
purity in youth, protect the holy
Church, make all men feel the at
traction of Christian goodness. In
your name, resounding harmoni-
Ously in heaven, may they recog-
nize that they are brothers, and
that the nations are members of
one family, upon which may there
shine forth the sun of a universal
and sincere peace.
Receive, o Most Sweet Mother,
our humble supplications, and
above all obtain for us that, one
day, happy with you, we may re-
peat before your throne that hymn
which today is sung on earth
around your affairs: You are all
beautiful, o Mary! You are the
glory, you are the Joy, you are
the honor of our peoplel Amen.

feast of Christmas.
An about effort will be made
to have every Catholic family adopt
traditional Catholic programs and
customs observed during the Ad-
vent and Christmas seasons. AT
the same time, literature deScrib-
ing the true significance of these
programs and customs has been dis
tributed to parish representatives
who have been instructed to send
copies to every family.
The literature includes descrip-
tions and histories of the Advent
Wreath, Christmas Tree, Christ
mas Candle, Nativity Scene and
Distribution of Gifts. In addition,
a Christmas Eve program for the
home is outlined.
Others Offer Aid

central deanery have offered their

Holy Name Society, Catholic War
Veterans and ST. Mary of the
Springs College met recently with
the D.C.C.W. to discuss plans and
ways and means OF encouraging
other groups throughout the city
to join the campaign. Monsignor
Herman E. Mattingly, pastor of
Holy Rosary church, presided at
the meeting.
a letter has been sent to the
president of the Retail Mereh-
ants Association asking that more
emphasis be placed on the feast
of Christmas as q day eommer-
Grating the Birth of Christ

plays and displays in the stores.
The letter urged the use of fhe
Nativity Scene, Angels. and Ma

recommended that explanations

mas customs be included in
Newspaper advertisements pro-
noting the sale of trees, advent

voted to the Council women par

DccW Resolution
The campaign is based on reso-
luton passed BY the Diocesan Coun-
Gil of Catholic Women which reads
as follows:
woman gave birth to the Son
of God on earth. Women continue
to give birth to the children of God.
To woman is entrusted the sublime
privilege and the solemn duty of
families with the spirit
of God. Today, individuals, fam
lies and nations are engulfed by
the steadily rising and choking spir-
il of secularism and materialism.

Bakers Song Recital
Enthusiastically Received
By Elena de Soyn

The popularity of David
Baker, resident baritone, was
best illustrated by the enthusi-
aSm Of his following which as
sembled in the Phillips Gallery
to hear him last night. A sensi-
tive artist, who chooses poetic
songs and means of expression
in preference to the snowy and
theatrical, Mr.. Baker presented
four groups Of numbers which
reflected his impeccable taste.
Among these were three trouba-
dour songs of the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries, arranged by
Thomas Simmons, another Wash
ingtonian who was present in
the audience, and two songs by
Pizzetti. Better known as an in
strumental composer, Pizzetti
began his career by writing opera.
His song II Pastori" and "Adiuro
voS, Filiae Jerusalem" (The Song
of Solomon) on the program
show his special talent for writing
interesting melodies and giving
them an individual development.
Greatly aided by a well-trained
voice and an unusually fine die
ton in foreign languages, Mr..
Baker was successful in creating
the proper background by the
mere cadence of his voice in
"Pastori, ""A La Fimminisca" and
"Nota Di Vittoria," both arranged
by Favara; Brogi's "Un Ricordo,
and others in a lyric vein. There
were those like "Reveillez-vous
Piccarz," manly in character,
which would have gained by a
greater foreefulness on the part
Of the singer. Carreau's "Profes-
sional Predicament" was laughter
provoking by its unexpected end
ing, the only song of a brighter
nature in the three groups heard.
Anthony Chanaka at the piano
contributed to the success of the
recital by his polished accom-
paniment.

News Of Music
BY Alice Eversmon

The Lauritz Melchior Show,
starring the famous Wagnerian
tenor, is something new in mu-
sical entertainment.
Its local debut in Constitution
Hall last night was a benefit
performance for the United
Cerebral Palsy Association of
Washington, to help expand its
medical program carried on in
conjunction with the. George
Washington University Hospital.
Mr.. Melchior'S objective in form
ing the show Is to present young
American artists to the public.
If. in addition. he has such
worth while aims as the benefit
of last night. his 14-week tour
will be unique in every respect.
The hit of the evening turned
out to be, not Mr.. Melchior and
his singers, but young Mary
Moran, a cerebral palsy victim
herself who, since her recovery,
has won fame on stage, radio
and televiSion. Miss Moran ap-
peared after the intermisSion to
plead for aid to the cause. She
did so in a speech, knowingly de-
livered, with a diction any ac-
tress might envy. and by the
songs she sang in her sweet, ap-
pealing voice. The gifted young
artist won an ovation and left a
deep impression on the audience.
Mr.. Melchior has surrounded
himself with eight young mu-
Sicians, of whom George Roth
and Ted Sadlowski are pianists
and, as a team, won the Pade-
rewski Foundation Award last
year over II other duo-pianists.
He has two attractive sopranos.
Shirlee Emmons and Angelene
Collins, the former a 1851 Full
bright Award and a 1852 Marian
Anderson Award winner. Miss
Collins is the first singer in some
years to win the Naumberg
Award, which she did in 1850,
and to be national f1nalist in the
Young Artists Additions of the
National Federation of Music
Clubs in 1949. Two tenors, Val
Valente and Alan Werner, Ed
ward Williams, bass, and Michael
Roberts, baritone, understudy to
the leads in kiss Me Kate" and

completed the cast.
In his featured role, Mr.. Mel
chior was heard in songs and
arias, in the first part of the pro-
gram and in a medley of hit
parade favorites and highlights
from "The Merry Widow" in the
last half. The singers presented
songs and ensemble bits from
Puccini's LA Boheme."
Since all the vocalists have
had experience before the pub
lie. more interesting songs could
have been chosen without loss
of appeal. The one departure
from the very familiar was
