Music Circle.
BY PSUEDORA
CUNNINGHAM

THE WILLIAM A. RHODES
OPERA SOCIETY, now in its
twentieth year presented Yo-
kohama Maid, an operetta in
two acts, May 10, New England
Mutual Hall, to a very large
but lukewarm audience. The
scene opened with the ballet
group in very colorful Japan
csc costumes. Quite outstand-
ing in the chorus was Doris
Van Walters, who was so
startingly beautiful and ex-
pertly made up, dancing and
acting in a very authentic,
professional manner. An in
teresting, enjoyable character
was All No. Here, quality of
singing was not important
only the gleeful portrayal of
a Chinese laundryman singing
about the joy of going to see
his love, Suki Tong. This was
well done by tenor Joseph
Duncan. He made his audi
ence share his Happiness, and
as he hoped about in Won
derful Chinese fashion sing
ing of his suki Tong the
scene took on aspects of reali-
ty. This was fine work by
Joseph Duncan. AS for articu-
lation and control, laurels go
to Ernest G. OBanyoun. With
out pretentions, he simply
told the story of the celebra-
lions and Mayor Kybosho. One
could understand every word
of his song, all done with
simple beauty. Mary Brown,
Contralto in spite of a very
small part showed the artistry
Of her work to a degree that
simulated desire Tor more OF
her singing.
Miss Brown recently appear
ed in a concert sponsored by
Friends of City Hospital, and
is scheduled to sing at the
celebration of the Guardians
55th anniversary.
Other principals of the cast
were Ella Martin as the Jap
anese heiress, o Sing a Song.
Miss Martin gave a song re-
cital this season at Boston

Speaking Of
PUBLIC SAFETY
3.

Public officials have found that
public education regarding night
driving hazards has paid big divi-
dends. According to the National
Street and Traffic Safety Lighting
Bureau, these are the rules that
have helped reduce night driving
accidents where street lighting is
bad:
/. Slow down. Don't regulate
your speed by posted limits alone.
Remember, speed must be gov
erned by conditions, and darkness
is a condition that calls for eau
ton.
2. Have your car checked fire.
quently. In darkness, immediate
response Of the vehicle is q must.
Double-check all lights.
3. Be alert. kept a constant
watch for pedestrians and for We
hicles with dim lights or no lights
at all.
4. Don't wear tinted glasses at
night. The advantage they offer in
reducing glare is more than Offset
by the disadvantage in reduced
vision.
5. Use headlights properly. Use
upper beam only on rural high
ways when no approaching car is
within 1000 feet. Use lower beam
when oncoming cars approach,
when you are overtaking another
car, and when driving in cities and
residential areas.
6. Dim your lights, even though
an oncoming driver fails to dim
his. Trying TO get even by binding
him is risking your neck. Maintain
control Of your car by looking at
the right shoulder Of the highway.
z. Be sure your lights are on
before you pun onto q thorough
fare at night.
8. Never stop on the travelled
portion Of q roadway at night. II
you must stop, pull completely off
! the roadway, leaving parking and
dome lights on. Carry flares for
use in emergencies.

By John A. Giles

Speculation arose today that
the Army's draft calls will be
further reduced perhaps to
5000 or less a month-as a re-
suit of heavy enlistments in
January.
The Army has asked Selective
Service for 1000 inductees this
month and the same number in
March. The February call origi-
nally was for 10000 but was cut
back after the heavy influx of
new recruits. A total of 23,898
were inducted in January.
An additional 25.660 were en-
listed during the month, COM
pared with 6,169 in December.
Unquestionably, the cutoff of
veterans benefits for men who
Joined the armed forces after
January 81 caused much of the
rush to recruiting Offices. Origi-
nal legislation cut off such bene-
fits as veterans housing and
educational aids for all person.
mel after January 81.
When it was pointed out that
those in uniform who were earn
ing credits towards such benefits
would be penalized, amending
legislation was rushed through
Congress to apply the ruling only
to those who Joined the service
after January 81.
1t is not believed that the
high enlistment rate will con-
tnue. but in order to stay within

Churchill Does an About-Fuce
Prime Minister Decides to Make Far East Policie
Of Britoin DovetoiI PortioIIy With Those of u S

gress for the Eisenhower pol
icy toward the Chinese Ma
tionalists did not fail to i'm
press a nimble political man
like Sir Winston. Thus, de-
spite the determined opposi-
ton of the Labor Party and
the warning of some campaign
managers that by following
even a complacent attitude
toward Americas Far Eastern
policies the Conservatives
might lose the elections next
year, he veered his govern
ment's policies toward the
United States.
Sir Winston is for Britain
first and last. Whatever mild
flirtations he may have had
with internationalism were
dictated by his conviction that
they would best serve Britain'S
interests.
Sir Winston has stubbornly
and insistently advocated in
the past a meeting Of the Big
Four to attempt to settle all
outstanding problems between
East and West. After Mr..
Eisenhower's election in 1852
he rushed to New York and
attempted to extract a prom
Use to that effect. But since
the recent change in the Mos
cow regime in which the in
tractable Khrushchev replaced
the allegedly milder Malen-
kov as Premier, Sir Winston
has piped down and seeming
ly lost interest in such a par
ley. He is said to fear that
the Reds in the Soviet Union
and China will eventually go
on the warpath. This explains
