News of Music

Today, when it is the rule
rather than the exception to
find the harpSichord used in
its proper place in seventeenth
and eighteenth century music
especially in chamber and or
cheStral muSic-the piano has
by no means replaced it as a
solo SuhStitute-it is some
thing of a shock to remember
that this re-discovery of one
of the most important key
board instruments has taken
place in only the last 20 years.
Yella Pessl, who tomorrow
night plays the harpsichord
and gambia sonatas Of Bach
with Paul OlefSky at the Phil
lips Gallery, is one of the few
original popularizers of the
instrument in this country.
There were not many in the
early 30S. The names of PesSl,
Landowska, Guerlin, Kirk
patrick, and Ehlers come to
mind; perhaps there were
others, but these five laid the
groundwork. Most were pian-
lists who played harpsichord
whenever they could find an
audience willing to suppress a
suspicion that the long narrow
box of wires was either a mu-
scum piece or a hoax, suitable
only for background music for
a pageant in Monticello or
Mount Vernon. Kirkpatrick
was the only one who had
been a harpsichord all his
career; even Landowska, whose
name is so closely associated
with the harpsichord. is also
a pianist.
The three sonataS which Miss
PeSsl and. Mr.. Olefsky play to-
morrow were written by Bach
for harpsichord and gambia,
the bass of the viol family.
They are now usually played
on the cello. the nearest coun-
terpart of the original instru-
ment in the violin family
which in Bach'S day was sup
planting the older stringed in
StrumentS. It is noteworthy,
although the reason is not evil
dent. that Bach wrote five Of
his six solo sonatas for a low
stringed instrument for cello
(the sixth was for viola POM
poSa). but all the keyboard
duets for gambia.

Fall Run Salmon Planted in
 Alaskan Creeks

C. L. Anderson, director of the Alaska Department of Fisheries, announced the fourth of a series of annual king salmon egg plant ing experiments. Fifty thousand eyed eggs from fall run king sal mon were planted in Montana and Spring Creeks, near Juneau, on December 13. The eggs were donated by the Washington State Department of Fisheries after they had incubated to the eyed stage at the Soos Creek Hatchery near Seattle. The eggs were air freighted to Juneau on December 12. Mild weather conditions pro- vided ideal conditions on the streams for planting the eggs.
 The purpose of the eggplant ing experiment is to determine whether fall run king salmon can adapt themselves to the small riv- CTS of the Territory. At present there are no fall run king salmon in Alaska. If the planting is suc- cessful in fostering a return of fish to the streams, the program will be expanded.
 If the young kings can thrive to maturity-eluding their enem- ies and man, the return from the first planting should occur in the fall of 1854.

Researchers Report On BroiIer Production

Researchers at the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station report that for maximum income from broiler production, it is es- sential that the broiler house be used at it's maximum capacity.
 In other words, the number of broilers per square foot of floor space must be kept as high as pos sible without reducing growth rate or efficiency of feed conversion.
 Where good management prac- tices are followed, three-fourths of a square foot of floor space per broiler should be economically sound in both summer and winter. they report.
 One square foot of floor space per broiler would be the recom- mendation where management practices are not up to standard, where there are frequent disease outbreaks, or where housing con- ditions are less satisfactory.
 The type of management being practiced. and the skill of the poul- tryman in charge of the broiler op- a;.- 11 Ist be considered in "aev'<s @ay floor space recom- 's-@odzt'on they say. Where man. d z2G-er, n actices are not up to F'..5.4s.1 Id disease outbreaks s'"- slerable trouble one square foot of floor space or even more may be required.

FILM. HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION" TO BE
 SHOWN JANUARY 9

The Christian film, How Firm A Foundation" tells the story of Lee Toms, a high school senior from Long Beach, California, whose apparently accidental con- tact with the old fashioned re- vival hour, at Long Beach be- gan a chain of events which pro- foundly disturbed not only his own life, but the lives of many others around him. The story of Lee Toms is not fiction but fact which, as always, is stranger and more stirring than fiction could ever be.
 During the film, goers will get a glimpse into Fuller Theological Seminary at Pasadena, Calif., as well as into the Municipal Audi torium at Long Beach, during which time the fingers of world famous Rudy Atwood at the piano console will be seen. The quartet singing Look Away to Heaven" and the choir singing Jesus Saves" will also be shown. The film contains scenes from Africa, the Near East, and South Ameri- ca.
 How Firm a Foundation" will be shown at 500 pm. Saturday, January at the Church of God. The public is cordially invited to attend. A free-will offering to- ward the building program of the Fuller Seminary will be taken.

Using the right fertilizer where it will do the most good will re- duce the risks in field crop pro- duction.

Shelter for Layers

The University of Illinois poul- try specialists recommend shelter at night, shade during the day and plenty of eating and drinking space for those bullets you want to develop into good layers. A range shelter with wire-covered sides will keep your chicks more comfortable and healthy than a orooder house in summer. It will give good shade and allow plenty of Tree air movement both day and night.

RANDOM RAMBLINGS OUT WASlLLA WAY
By E. Hjellen

w aSllla, put ne S LOW man on the local seniority listing, so when the winter lay-off went into eff feet, he bumped" into Willow. That seniority list is tough to buck when you're starting-but it's nice to have after a few years.
 People complain that our gov ernmental Alaska Railroad is not self supporting-that it needs an appropriation each year to oper- ate. Pray tell me-what is the difference between a subsidy and an appropriation? Besides, the AL aska Railroad doesn't declare a dividend after receiving their appropriation.
 Ted Mommsen, section fore man at Wasilla, and his crew were putting up snowfence on the south end of Lake Wasilla to keep the snowdrifts off the rail- road track. Hope this works-a lot of other things have been tried.
 (Three days 1ater) It didn't.
 Bonnie Ulrich, Beverly Prather, Beverly LaPours, Linda LaPours, Sally Betts, Carol Nelson, Sally Carson, Patsy Green and Susan Hjellen-all girl scouts-were guests of Peggy Maley at the Wasilla Roadhouse for a pajama party.
 Can you hear the "yakity-yak" of nine short-teenage girls-all thru the night? We'll Don Short did.
 Don Short was down from Fair banks for a visit with his broth CT, Lloyd but when he learned Lloyd was up in the hills, he registered at the roadhouse for the night. Couldn't turn it off like a radio, huh, Don.
 Children have a remarkably keen memory. When ours are taken to task for leaving the butter, jam, etc., out in the open each one can remember dis tinctly that they were not the last one to use them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Then there's the day after, too.

Then there's the day after, too
 The Oscar Andersons at Big Lake held a Swedish Smorgasbord on New Years. Did you know that Smorgasbord means butter and bread in both Swedish and Nor wegian? When you go to a real ly correct Scandinavian smorgas- bord, though, you are getting the finest dishes-each woman, for miles around-prepares that dish for which she is the most noted the one she makes the best. It's correct, too, to leave a little on your plate. That means that the food was so good, you stuffed yourself to the point where you just couldn't eat any more. *
 "Pat" Smith was a visitor to Wasilla over the New Year cele- bration. She's employed in Anch- orage by the Dick Chace Photo Shop.
 Miss Louise Potter made iaunt to the University of Alas ka at College to visit over the Christmas and New Years holi- day with friends. Miss Potter, one of our local high school in- structors, was formerly Dean of Women at the U. of A.
 Among the people going north after Christmas were: The Bud" Brownes to Cantwell; Eddie Byers to Willow, and Mrs. Edna Borigo to Curry. Mrs. Borigo is teaching at Curry but was able to get away for a visit with her longtime friend, Mrs. Slumberg- CT at Wasilla.
 Some of those at the Wasilla Depot to see friends and relatives off were: Betty LaPours, Charles Cadwallader, Mary, Judy and Linda Bergman, Clara Slumber- ger, and Keith Tryck. Mir.

Grain Bunk

The type of grain bunk pie tured above has proved very practical for small calves. It is only IS inches high and three 2 X S's wide. Then, too, it can be used for yearlings or any of the cattle. Many cattlemen use this same type bunk in their barns. If it is to be placed against a wall the legs on one side should be extended 20 inches to that a back of one inch lumber can be added-it will save feed,

 Soil testing is not an exact sci ence, but it serves as a pretty sound indicator of nutrients in the soil. That's long step toward success in crop production.
 And it is well to remember that over-doses of fertilizer can be as harmful to a crop as the right amount can be helpful.
