cause of an inertia peculiar TO
the world of music, that few con-
ductors dare to perform an un-
known large work, however good,
by major composer.
Karl HalvorSon, conductor of
the All Souls Choir, can there
fore congratulate himself that he
tried new Handel oratorio and
found it we'll worth the trouble.
THE Triumph of Time and
Truth" is an early work of Han
del which the composer rewrote
at the end of his career to an
English translation of the libretto.
Even as the product of an age
when inane librettos were, if not
actually priced, at least seldom
scerned. this one never deviates
into sense; otherwise the oratorio
is always capable, often showing
the grandeur of Handel at his
best, and the captivating melo-
dies of one of the finest tune
smiths in the business.
The performance, too. was re-
markedly good. Singing from

Used by All Glasses
PeWtering was an art of the
nth and 18th centuries. Often
called the poor mans silver"
pewter was used by all classes.
It's an alloy of tin. copper,
antimony, bismuth and, some
times, lead. The early pewter
pieces were cast-in an endless
variety of flatware. lamps. ink
stands. bowls, pitchers. tank
ards and in chalices and
baptismal dishes for the
churches.
One early piece Of pewter
was the bleeding bowl, which
in size and design was similar
to the better-known porringer.
In America, New England
had q virtual monopoly on
pewtering. More than half the
marked surviving pieces Of
American pewter were made
by two families, the Danforths
and the Boardmans Of Con-
necticut.
Because the early cast pew
ter was soft, and easily bent
or broken, it was common to
melt pewter pieces and re-cast
them. Itinerant pewterers as

Bank May Be Too Late
The Eisenhower administra-

The Agriculture Department
has said that if the soil bank

administration program as com,

for today's farmers but for Their

Meanwhile, it became evident
that the timing of new farm leg
islation may become an import
ant factor in the major parties
campaigns for the farm vote in
the November elections.
Democrats Seen Favored
Thus far. timing would appear
to favor the Democrats. And
there appear to be no signs of
a speedup which, some G. o. P
strategists think, might help the
Republicans.
Republicans are pinning their
hopes for farmers votes largely
on benefits they say would acrue
through soil bank plan. This
contemplates that payments up
to $1.2 billion would be made
this summer to farmers for
taking crop land out of produc-
ton and putting it to soil con-
Servation uses.
Democrats, on the other hand,
are pinning their hopes largely
on farmer dissatisfaction with
