Dear Sir:
Il have recently moved
near a wooded area. l have
been interested in seeing the
mourning doves around here.
AT first I'd see them in
pairs or singly on the tele-
phone wires.
DAY before yesterday I
counted 26 doves lined up on
the wires and upon a branch
Of a tree.
why were they fiocking
together like this?
Were they getting ready
to migrate farther south?
thought they we're winter
residents in this section.
They are beautiful birds. !
am glad saw such a large
flock of them
Very sincerely yours.

The Silver Spring area is,
after all. getting toward the
country. and it is there you
see the turtle dove in fiocks,
Though these game birds
(as they are still classified }
are supposed to winter north
OF here. hundreds Of them
live hereabout all the year
round.
In Arlington. Va. cold
weather groups Of 40 or more
birds are seen every winter.
1t is a pleasure TO have
such numbers visit a feeding
station. so that one may do
good to them. and not harm,
for they are beautiful and
interesting creatures.
Their song. if so it may be
called land it cam, is mourn
full to most ears. but some
listeners get only happiness
out Of hearing it, because II
reminds them Of back
home"
The song seems TO appeal
particularly TO little children.
who thus find it perhaps their
first bird song. along with
the MARBLE of the robin and
the cheep. cheep. cheep of
the common sparrows.
Children know nothing Of
cliqueS and fashions among
adult bird lovers, and do
not judge a bird by the COM
pany 1t keeps.
They respond to whatever
attracts them. and the soft
coo-oo-oo Of the dove strikes
little ears as something very
much worthwhile.

That musical good humor
lady, Anna Russell, whizzed
through Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon like a tornado.
leaving in her wake an audi
ence limp and exhausted after
close to two solid hours of
chuckles. laughs and gen.
eral rolling in the aisles.
! don't remember La Russell
ever having been in better
form. Everything was relaxed
and just right. Even the old
standbys, things which after
Lord knows how many years
of service ought to be begin
ming to show some signs Of
wear, were as uproarious as
they ever have been. And the
new routines were sharper and
funnier than ever.
Miss Russell is completely
unique. Her stuff is based on
an intimate knowledge of the
world of serious music and what
makes 1t tick. From this never
never land, she seizes on the
foibles of singers, instrument
talists and composers. skewcrs
them securely. and calmly pro-
ceeds to barbecue them until
they turn to a nice deep toasty
brown.
Particularly we'll roasted yes
terday was the singing tribe,
from recitalist through folk

intelligently any one Russell
number is futile-words aren't
up to it. You have to experience
it and personally go through
the catharsis of thinking you'll
die laughing in order to be-
lieve it.
Here is that rara avis. a
really brilliant Coincidence
whose material is full of wit
and good sense, a keen intelli-
gence that punctures the
stuffed shirt, and an artist with
absolutely perfect timing.
If you were at Constitution
Hall yesterday, I've already
said too much. If you weren't,
you should really be ashamed
of yourself for having missed
1t. And don't let 1t happen
again.

Unfortunately, and perhaps
unfairly, the harp has long been
associated with garden we'd
dings and other effete affairs
that blight its possible esteem
as a medium for serious and
effective concert music. There
is a paucity of good music writ
ten for it. and a solo recital
with any degree Of interest and
satisfaction is a rarity.
Susann McDonald's recital in
the Phillips Gallery yesterday
was strong evidence that COM
poser and public alike have ne
elected an instrument that has
largely unrealized possibilities
of musical pleasure. Miss Nc
Donald is a performer of enor-
nous accomplishment, who
should be able to dissipate this
notion completely, II she is
widely heard and appreciated.
On the positive side of the
program, a concerto by Handel
and a group of 18th and 18th
century pieces were balanced
by works of French Romanti-
cists. Gabriel Faure and Marcel
Tournier and sonatas by con-
temporaries Paul Hindemith
and Peggy Granville Hicks.
Typical of the dull and frilly
music too often associated with
the harp were a "Sarabande"
by Philippe Gaubert and a
"Danse DIES Lutins" of Hen
riette Renie.
Miss Mcdonald has all the
well-recognized virtuoso devices
of the harpist we'll under her
control. Glissandos, intricate
passage work, harmonics fall
from her fingers with effortless
perfection. These accomplish
ments are impressive, and
doubly so when they are as
polished as they are in her
playing.
But the difficulties that are
usually unrealized by the lis
tener are of any entirely differ
ent nature. The problems of
articulating a melodic line with
subtle nuance, of maintaining
strong metric outlines in a pas
sage OF complex rhythmic struc-
ture. of playing simultaneous
lines with dynamic contrast
and independent tonal color
these are the tests of the player
which Miss Mcdonald passes
not only with incredible virtu-
osity, but with the musicianship
that removes the harp from be-
hind the ported palm and places
it in the company of instru-
ments that can make significant
music.

Drusilla Huffmaster was the
featured soloist at last nights
concert by the National Gal
lery Orchestra. She played the
magnificent E fiat concerto of
Mozart. K.482, written in vi
emma in December of 1885. Her
performance was Imaginative;
her phrasing subtle. While her
tone is light, and her dynamic
range limited, the general effect
was quite musical. The orches-
ira was particularly effective in
the passages for woodwinds
and horns in the slow move
ment.
Otherwise. Richard Bales
made up his program from
orchestral works of Mozart.
The Divertimento for strings
which opened the program was
not quite convincing. rhyth-
mically. but this state of af-
fairs was probably caused by
the absence of many of the
regular members of the or
chestra, who were occupied in
the performance of Fidelio at
Lisner Auditorium.
The program closed with a
really rousing performance of
the Prague Symphony, full of
bright sound and lively move
ment. The orchestra, by this
time. was completely in hand.
and the performance sounded
as well as the empty-vat acous-
tics OF the gallery permit.
All things considered, the
performance, in 1857, of the
sort of program which was
characteristic Of 1856, the
Mozart bicentennial. was an
excellent idea. The current
year, to be sure, is the CEN
tennial of both Elgar and
Chaminade. but this should be
a matter of historical curiosity
rather than of programming.
Doubtless. somewhere the
strains of the Scarf Dance or
the Salut d'Amour are heard,
with an eye to the calendar.
The packed audience was
testimony to the gratitude of
the residents of the area for
the opportunity given them
by Mr.. Bales and the gallery to
hear good music we'll played as
a public service.

Twenty paying guests are
housed in the private and semi.
private rooms Of Carmel Hall,
while ST. Rita's proper provides
accommodations for an sddi-
tional thirty guests in private
and senli-privsfe rooms.
Many of these people, even
though they have relatives, pre-
fer to live at st. Rita's, because
they can still maintain d. certain
degree of independence to which
they were accustomed in their
own homes, and some of them
no longer have homes nor rela-

St. Rita's Home is stated by
Mother Mary Grace and four ad-
ditional Sisters skilled in both
nursing and home management,
end a house doctor is available
at all times. Besides these, a
nurse is on duty at night Also,
eight lay workers ably assist the
Sisters, as cooks, mattresses. and
nurses aides. -
The doors of st. Rita's are open
to rich and poor alike, at rates
commensurate with their stations
in life, to both Catholic and non
Catholic, who feel they con live
there happily. Any normally So
cial-minded person sixty-five
years of age or older, in al am
bulatory condition, who has prov
ed herself happy in her own home
and able TO mix we'll with other
people, should have no trouble in
adjusting happily to the safety
and security of st. Ritas Home.
AS we walked about the halls
of st. Rita's one day, exercising
cur "long-distance' ears, one old
lady was heard TO make inquiry
of a most recent resident of Car
mel Hall,
Are you happy here?"
To which the most recent resi-
dent made emphatic reply,
Happy here? OF course I'm
happy here! My daughter says so,
my Doctor says so, and ! too,
say it is the most wonderful place
in Columbus. I'm glad and thank.
ful to be living at st. Rita S

St. Rita's Home Good Place To Live
Whether Rich or Poor, Residents Say

Editors Nofe-Ths following
article was written for The
Catholic Times by Vera Crate,
. resident Of 81. Rits's Home,
14l5 z. Broad ST.
Come, walk with me
through the halls of st.
Rita's Home for the Aged
and Infirm, and we will
show you a great many
happy people, nearing the
sunset of their lives.
And right off, ! can hear
someone say, "Ah, this
picture is over-painted, they can
not all be happy"
In reply, we say, But they can
be happy, if they really want to
be, and that is the whole secret
of living in a home such as
this!"
81. Rifs's was established al
most ten years ago. shortly
after the Active csrmslite Sis
ters came 10 Columbus. And let
no one say that the word "se-
tive" as applied 10 this pariieu-
lar Order of carnelites, is
rnisnomer.
Their lives are dedicated to
the work of caring for the aged,
and any Sister of this Order
who carries her vows through
successfully, for an entire life
time, well deserves a seat at the
right hand of the Almighty, be-
cause their patients are as little
children, grownup little children,
seventy, eighty and even ninety
years Of age and older.
Come. walk with me, and | will
show you. In the large front liv-
ing room at st. Rita's you will
see a circle of wheel chairs, fac
ing towards a television set.
These are people from the in
Urinary, large lovely room, To-
Gated also on the first floor, not
far from the television room.
Some of them are in wheel chairs
only temporarily and will be
walking again, while some of
them who came in strong and &C.
tive several years ago, have now
reached the end of ambuiatory
days.
But they are all happy. They
eat together in one Of the two
large, pleasant dining rooms, they
chat together, they say their ros-
aries together each morning. They
sleep together, each in her own
little hospital bed, and should
one of them become suddenly i'll,
they pray many extra beads for
their sick companion, led by the
faithful Sisters who stand beside
them and watch over them.
When babies are born in ma.
ternity hospitals, births are made
as perfect as possible. When pre-,
cious "old ones" die at ST. Rita's,
their passing is made as beauti-
ful and as peaceful as possible.
Now walk with me across the
breeze-way, to the rear build.
