from several small wounds which he can
reach with his tongue. He can clean them
himself and do better job than you can.
If the wounds are IN places the dog cannot
reach. trim away matted hair. clean the
area, put on the antiseptic and bandage it.
Exhaustion and heat prOst7GtiOn - an ex-
hausted animal can be revived by Whit of
spirits of ammonia. followed by either black
coffee or little whisky in water. Never give
liquids, however, to an unconscious animal.
Dogs are subject to heat strokes so if you see
the heat is beginning to bother him wash his
face and mouth with cold water and let him
lick cracked ice; feed him lightly and give
him plenty of water. If dog oollapses. do
nothing until the vet comes. Improper han
ding can bring on fatal shock.
How about auto accidents? If your pet is
struck by car, DR.. Kinney advises. lift him
gently as possible, put coat or blanket over
him and 60 at once to an animal hospital.

DR.. Altman: The most helpful thing you
can do is to resist the temptation to play vet.

you can do much harm by improper setting"
Cuts and pou,sds = wash the area with

try to put bandage on the cut. If the wound
is on the claw. replace gravel on the bottom

Choir of Men and Boys
Presents Program

Choir Of Men and Boys. Paul
dral. Program. Magnif1cat in @ minor,
csntata No. us.0"sI 8. "side with Us." Bach. shho'
The EvenSong Service yester-
day at Washington Cathedral in
cluded pieces by Purcell, Byrd,
and j. S. Bach, composers whose
choral works represent three Of
the peaks in church music from
the late renaissance to the end
of the baroque period.
OF the three, William Byrd was
possibly the most successful in
writing music for voices which in
its every facet is of a surprising
and peculiarly choral beauty.
With a constant unfolding of the
most ingenious melodic and
harmonic freshness. it's luminous
sonorities maintain a naturalness
and a regard for the choral
medium that never exceed
the boundaries Of effectiveness.
In Byrd's motet, "Justorum
Animae," the choir under the
direction of Paul Galloway re-
vealed a quality of the utmost
purity and feeling for the rich
ness and subtlety of the music.
In the Bach cantata, 'Bide
With U.s." trebles of the choir
sang two of the sections usually
sung by solo voice. In one Of
these, where the voices sing a
chorale tune above an organ
elaboration, much in the man
ner of some of the organ chorale
preludes, the voices stood out
clearly and beautifully in the
lines of the familiar melody. AL
though the quality Of their
voices was pleasing in the air,
Thou. Whose Praises Never
End" its florid lines needed the
clearer definition of solo quail
ity, and several times the range
was low enough to make the boys
almost inaudible.
In strong contrast to the style
of the Byrd motet, the Magnif1-
cat of Henry Purcell, as well as
the more elaborate opening
chorus of the Bach cantata ex-
emplified the virtuosic, instru-
mentally conceived choral music
that developed during the 18th
and early 18th centuries.

Ernestine Briesnteister and Dorothy
Stall. The Phillips Gallery. Pro-
gram: Quartet. Op. "a, No. 1, Haydn;
gsTsss: SasTsss or Sp 81 e. p.Tscbettl N9 Beethoven
A performance by q virtuoso
chamber ensemble can be an
exciting and memorable expert
ence. But in some ways it is
more gratifying to witness, over
an extended period, the gradual
growth, the technical and artis-
= tic seasoning that it takes to
produce playing of top-notch
ensemble caliber. Without the
: advantage of uninterrupted
chamber music playing, the
Catholic University String Quar-
tet has developed, within a rela-
lively short time. to a point close
to the very best of the string
quartetS in the business today.
Matters of execution are, with
only minor exceptions, perfectly
stable. with blessedly secure in
tonation and an ensemble facil-
ity that often reaches points of
real virtuosity. as they oc-
CURED especially in the nvelier
movements Of the Haydn and
Beethoven that the quartet
played yesterday in the Phillips
r. Gallery.
Tonally the quartet leans to-
ward restraint and a sorority
that is invariably beautifully
blended, but saves its lusher
sounds for points that demand
them musically. This is not to
suggest that the group lacks
power. for its wide dynamic
gamut includes a lusty fortissimo
that just occasionally takes on a
slight edge.
! Along with q fine care and at
tention to detail, there is a tend
ency for the group to prefer
tempos on the slow side. Al
though these tempoS achieve
clarity, they sometimes delib-
crate a little obviously over a
theme, as in the opening move
ment of the Beethoven Op. So,
No. /. or they become ponderous
and without sustained momen-
tum, as in the Adagio of the
same work. More often than
not, though, the pace has that
poised, right" feeling, and then
the quartet plays with relaxed
! beauty and conviction that only
affection for the medium and
the music can produce.
In q first Washington per-
formance the quartet played
Vincent Persichetti's second
quartet. The work is IL years
old, and in some ways it shows
its age, which is considerable
since Persichetti is still a young
man. There are ingenuity, con-
trapuntal facility, and a certain
basic vigor aplenty in the piece.
But the composers determina-
ton to work out his problems
with a relentless logic only en-
/ phaSizes the lack of themes of
significance. and results in a sort
OF dogged modernity. More re-
cent works of Persichetti show
fewer technical seams, and de-
velop thematic materials that
seem much more worthy of his
considerable technique,

is a musician of ability and taste.
His control of the instrument is
never in doubt. and he plays
with vigor and SenSitivity.
To open the program, Mr..
Laufman chose the Gothic Suite
by Boellman. The formal
strengths of that work came to
clear expression, and the sac
charine passages that mar 1t
were minimized through skillful
choice of colors.
The massive D-minor Toccata
and Fugue of Bach closed the
short program. Here Mr.. Lauf-
man proved to be that rarity
among organiStS, one whose
playing moves along and hangs
together. The contrasting Sec
tions of the improvisatory Toe
cata seemed to proceed with
logic. and Mi. Laufman Is to be
commended for his sense Of the
works architecture.
Between these two works came
a variety Of contemporary
French and Belgian pieces.
Dupre's settings Of fragments Of
the Magnif1cat add little to his
reputation as one Of the fore
most of French musicians. Flor
Peters Elegy. with its agoniz-
ing outcries and its gripping
elegiac mood. is a minor mas
terpiece. Langlais' Song Of Peace
made little impression on this
reviewer. All three of these
pieces, however. were played in
manner that made them sound
better than they actually are.

Evelyn Swarthout's piano re-

possible for this reviewer to re-
