mith-but modern in thoroughly
listenable fashion, as who has
played saxophone and piccolo in
Navy band and has written a
successful film score (for the Quiet
One) of New Horizons" started
and ended with plenty of brass, but
in the middle it made appealing
use of melodic interweavings in the
strings. And though Composer
Kay's melody kept getting inter-
rupted by conflicting ideas, it also
kept coming back. When the nine
minute work was over, the crowd
gave the hometown composer the
biggest hand of the evening.
The son of an Arizona barber,
Ulysses Kay left Tucson in 1888
with a degree from the University
of Arizona and a strong urge to-
ward music and composition. There
was time for an M. A. At Roches-
ter's Eastman School and advanced
study at Tanglewood and Yale be-
fore Pearl Harbor. Then came the
Navy and the hitch in the band.
Finally, along with more study at
Columbia on the G. |. Bill came the
succession of prizes and (since last
year, full time job as adviser in
the Manhattan office of Broadcast
Music, Inc. (B. M. ID. This trip
to Tucson was his first visit in
more than 15-years.
Meanwhile, music i'll Tucson has
been moving right along. Ulysses
Kay's Homecoming was only part
of a season-long celebration of the
Tucson Symptoms 18th anniver-
sary. Though the orchestra's bud
get is only $21 900 year and most
of its members hold other jobs as
well, the orchestra is an 85-piece
one this year, and will give ten
concerts in all.
Part of Tucson's music boom
traces to the presence of the Uni
versity Of Arizona, with it's active
interest in music. Another big in
fluence is the Orchestra's Budapest
born conductor, Frederic Balazs, IS,
who was engaged two seasons ago.
Conductor Balazs has organized an
exchange concert with Phoenix,
children's concerts and a new civic
chorus. He has already staged two
large-scale choral works, LISTS
monumental Christus and Haydn's
Creation. Best of all, Balazs sees
to it that there is a modern Am
erican composition, e.g, Ulysses
Kay's Horisons, on every program.

Thomas and Harrison were a.
mong the first named on the star
studded All-American squad. Like
the other players on the team
they were selected by board OF
outstanding coaches. They are con-
sidered the best of the hundreds
of brilliant players who performed
on Negro college teams during the
season.
The thrilling World Series spec
tacle starts in New York on March

is one of the best one-hand shots
in the game. In Is games during
the regular season, he scored 405
points for a 225 average.
Harrison, who weights 1876 and
comes from Houston, Texas, has
connected with so per cent of his
shots this year. Over the season
he averaged 24.5 points per game
and in the recent Nashville tour
nament scored 16-32-25 in three
contests.
When informed that he had been
selected to play with the All
Americans against the interna-
tionally famous Globetrotters,
Thomas grinned and said:
"It's almost too good to be true
I've dreamed of playing in the
World Series of Basketball but
never thought I'd be lucky enough
to be selected. This is the great
est thrill of my whole career"
Harrison was also happy. The
hero from North Carolina said he
will do all he can to help the ALI
Americans win the series, adding:
"It's difficult to explain what a
thrill it is to be selected to play
on such a great team. I'll do my
best to prove to those who had SC
much faith in me that l am CRATE
full. Flying from coast to coast
is something in itself that l never
dreamed would ever happen to me
as a basketball player. l want all

TB has no outward symptoms
in the early stages, yet it is in
the early stages when recovery
is easier and faster. 1t is stress
ed that the x-rays can detect
other chest disorders such as
ling cancer and heart conditions.
"There is no need to worry
explained DR.. Piszczek, "as only
about one in every 1000 persons
x-rayed is found to have active
tuberculosis, and even these
persons will have the advantage
of discovering the disease, prob
ably in the early stages. If any
other suspicious signs of chest
disorder are uncovered through
the x-ray, a confidential letter
will be sent, urging that the
private physician be contacted
for further examination"
X-raying takes only a minute
and is done through the outer
clothing so that no undressing
is required. Results of the x-ray
will be mailed within 2 weeks,
and all findings are confidential.
