Orchestra presented the first Of
two performances Of Smetana's
folk opera, 1.-THE Bartered Bride, "
yesterday at Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School.
The performance was good fun.
A very skillful job Of cutting the
score so as to leave out the over
ture, most of the choruses, and
practically all the recitative
brought the length Of the per-
formance down to about an hour
and three-quarters. The burden
Of continuity was turned over to
Rudd Fleming as narrator. who
did an exceptionally good job.
The soloists were quite good

Mr.. Croft has a tenor voice Of

Under Robert Zboray's direc-
ton yesterday. the choir OF
Arlingten's st. Georges Epis-
copal Church gave an enterpris-
ing program of music by three
of the giants of baroque sacred
music, j. S. Bach, Heinrich
Schultz, and Dietrich Buxtehude.
This music makes formidable
demands, not the least Of which
is q sense of the vigorous.
straightforward style in which
1t must be sung. Mr.. Zboray's
conception of the style, though
perhaps as yet a little un-
polished, is basically very sound,
and he succeeded in putting it
across through his singers and
players with commendable con-
troll.
In addition to an organ badly
in need of tuning, Mr.. zboray
has distressing handicap in the
awkward disposition of the organ
console, which is behind the al
tar, and that of the choir, which
is ranged in two thin rows across
the whole width of the church.
The result in sound is to produce
little blending ofsthe voices and
to allow a few single members
Of the group to dominate.
The singing Of the choir yes
terday, while not without oc-
casional flaws, was for the most
part precise.
Tenor solos in the Bach can
tata were sung with notably fine
style by Frank Porretta. Bari

The opening work, short toe

He has mastered the resources

makes the same kind of sound

million Americans are using life insurance today
to provide for their own on their otDn. They are
doing this, of course, with the help and advice
of their life insurance agents.
One of the main purposes for which they use
life insurance is to guarantee money for the
family IN case of the fathers death.
And they are also using life insurance for many
other things to cover the mortgage . to assure
money for the children's education to help
build an adequate retirement program. In fact,
more than half of all life insurance benefits. are

Cattle Protest
BY the Associated Press

A protest by Virginia cattle
men against a new Army policy
of buying lighter-weight beef
carcasses was taken up with the
Army yesterday by Representa-
tive Harrison, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Harrison SAID he was ad-
vised the new policy calls for
buying carcasses weighing from
500 to TOO pounds instead of
from 700 to 900 pounds.
Cattlemen have written Mr..
Harrison the smaller weight
range would seriously hamper
the marketing Of grass-fed cattle
from Virginia.
Grass-fattening for the lower
range weights Is not practical,
Mr.. Harrison said he was in
formed.
In a letter to Mai. Gen. K. L.
Hastings, quartermaster general,
Mr.. Harrison said that the
change appears to work q dis
tinct hardship" for Virginia cat
tlemen. The policy change, he
added, would eliminate virtually
all grass-fed cattle"
No problem appears to be in
volved in the change for cattle
men marketing granted cattle,
Mr.. Harrison said.
Letters from Virginia Farm
Bureau Federation officials and
others, he added. have protested
the change.
