Despite the wet weather and
the stiff competition at the Lii
brary of Congress and the Fol-
ger Library across town, a sur
prisingly large crowd trekked to
the Phillips Gallery to listen to
a lecture-recital by Alice Gerstl-
Duschak, who has apparently
built up loyal following with
her performances here in previ-
Gus years.
Miss Gerstl-Duschak's topic
last night was the development
OF the song from antiquity to
Schubert. a stretch in time of
no less than 81 centuries. 1t is
hardly surprising, therefore, that
during the course of an hour and
a half. the treatment of the sub
ject was on the sketchy side.
Although Miss Gerstl-Dus-
chak's lecturing technique is APP
proximately on the college fresh
man or sophomore level, she does
manage to hold her audience.
This is, in a way. quite re-
markable achievement, particu-
larly in view of the fact that her
singing voice is of harsh and I'M
pleasant quality and her inter-
pretations tend to be over-dra-
matte and sentimental.
She accomplishes her purpose
through a skillful choice of un-
hackneyed materials and through
an intensity and sincerity of
purpose which communicates it
self to her listeners.

The Bennington College Mad
rigal Singers, who performed so
splendidly last Sunday at the
Washington Cathedral, COM
pletely captivated a discriminate
ing audience last night in the
theater of the Folger Shake
speare Library.
Much of the program was
drawn from the great school of
English madrigal writers of the
time of Elizabeth /, a source of
secular polyphonic music rivalled
only by the parallel development
in Italy, which started earlier,
lasted longer and produced more.
The young ladies from Ben
nington sang these with clarity,
verve and enthusiasm. Their die
ton was clear, their rhythm
faultless and their balance ir-
reproachable. I would suggest
that they adopt a frontal 'r''
sound, SO as not to color the fol-
lowing vowel, and that they be
extremely careful of initial So
sounds, but these are trivia.
Adelaide Phillips. soprano. was
heard in group of three Italian
songs by Giulio Caccini. identi-
fed with the group of Florentine
amateurs who started out to re-
construct Greek drama and
stumbled on the beginnings of
opera.
Miss Phillips sang these songs
accurately and in excellent taste.
She was accompanied by Pa
mela Cook. piano, and Ann Lit
tie, violoncello.
Variety was achieved in the
choral offerings by two rather
tasteleSSly arranged American
folksongs, and by group OF Bar
tok versions of Hungarian
songs. Composers who arrange
American folksongs would do
well to study Bartok. His works
have energy and impact, largely
because of his concentration Of
means and his avoidence of or
namentation for its own sake.
The audience reacted with ex-
cellent taste in its evaluation.
Miss Ruth Ring, who con-
Quoted her undergraduate con-
temporaries, was elfln and very
competent. She wasted no ges-
lures, but kept things going with
concentration and mastery
which many OF her more expert
enced rivals might we'll emulate.
The evening was amateur music
at its best, good music performed
for the love of it, and very we'll
performed. And a special word
OF phrase and thanks should go
to Bennington College, which en-
courages and supports such
splendid initiative and achieve
ment on the part of its students.
The young ladies were very at
tractive in their matching blue
gowns.

VICTORIA. B.c., H-Possibili- ty that a unique civilization in- habited the gulf inland between Vancouver Island and the lower British Columbia mainland 2.500 years ago was revealed at the Provincial Museum yesterday.
 The possibility was brought to light in report on strange stone carvings. artifacts, by Wilson Duff, museum anthropologist, fol- lowing an archaeological survey of the islands.
 The stones, largest of which was two inches, were discovered on North and South Fender Is- lands by residents there.
 Duff thinks the carvings came from an ancient culture differing from that of prehistoric Indians.
 Unique Artifacts
 His reasoning is based on the fact that the present artifacts are the only ones of their kind ever found. If the carvings were part of an early Indian race, the art would have been handed down and more would have appeared.
 Duff said the findings pose one of the most intriguing archeologi- cal mysteries of present times.

Possibility of Unique Civilization Near Vancouver L. 25OO Years Ago Revealed After Archeologist's Survey

Who were the people responsi- ble, where did they come from. how civilized were they, and what happened to them?
 An Au-Ouf Effort
 pr. Clifford Carl. director of the Provincial Museum, said an all-out effort is being made to get answers for these questions.
 Illustrations of the carvings made from soapstone--have been sent to museums across Canada and the United States.
 We hope someone may be able to throw some light on the origin of the people," he said. "We are stumped. So far no one has been able to supply us with an answer" {"
 An expedition to the islands is planned.
 Dated hY Radiation
 Age of the carvings was deter mined by C. E. Borden, anthro- pologist at the University of Brit ish Columbia, who measured the radiation of one of the specimens
 The carvings include clasp-like objects about l17 inches long, hol- lowed cylinders, rectangular tab lets and short stone bars with deep grooves.
 Several of the pieces have spaced holes in them. Particularly mystifying is a doughnut-shaped piece.

Education Drive
Against Cancer
Begun In State

Members of the National
H ONE Demonstration Council
throughout the country have a.
dopted a plan for an intensive
education campaign against cam
Ger, as announced today by the
Montana Division of the Ameri-
can Cancer Society and the Mon
tana Demonstration clubs. An
especially prepared cancer edu-
cation program kit, currently be-
ing sent to the clubs, will serve
as guides for program building
for these all-important rural
women leaders.
Bessie E. McClelland, Bozeman
state home demonstration leader,
requested kits for 80 Montana
county home demonstration
agents and for Is agricultural
agents. Mrs. Anna Peterson, X
ecutive vice-president, Montana
Division American Cancer Soci-
ETY., announces that additional
copies of this kit are free to any
local home demonstration leader
upon request, sent to division
headquarters, 1902 4th Ave. ~,
Billings.
Miss cClelland, commenting
upon plans for the cooperative
venture expressed conviction that
women living in sparsly settled
states like Montana are perhaps
more aware Of the necessity for
the closest possible watch on the
health of our families than is
true of women living in large
cities. They have come to know
by bitter experience what a de-
Wasting disease such as cancer
can do to victim and family a.
like. When a home has been
broken because of a needless
death, the tragedy is all greater.
Therefore, we are eager to do
all we can to educate ourselves
and our friends with the s~ociety's
message"
DIR. H. H. James, Butte, presi-
dent, Montana Division, Ameri-
can Cancer Society, expressed
for this cooperation and
pointed out the startling number
of lives lost because proper treat
ment was begun too late-8O,O 900
Americans last year. Anything
which the demonstration clubs
can do to aid in reducing this
dreadful toll will be of lasting
effect in the total cancer pic
he said.
