UNLEASHED DOGS
HOUND COUNCIL
IN ALEXANDRIA

The Alexandria City
Council, bounded by a
growing number of COM
plants that the city is
overrun with unleashed
dogs, will grapple with the
problem at 8 pm. tomor-
row.
The present ordinance
requires an owner to keep
his dog under control, but
little is said about how he
should do it.
Proponents of a stronger
ordinance want the law to
be more specific, such AS
specifying the use of a
leash when a dog is be-
ing walked. Others ask
that no dogs be allowed to
run free at any time.
An estimated 200 resi-
dents already have signed
petitions asking the coun-
Gil to make the law stricter.
A council spokesman said
at least one petition says
the ordinance is strong
enough.
Most complaints have
centered around charges
that the free-running dogs
are making property un-
slightly and are biting
children.

In my mind are the final chorus

Mr.. Halvorson assembled an

Duncan. bass, are both sensi-
tive artists. The former is
heard frequently in Washing

resident devotes most Of his
time to teaching, less often.
Assisting very capably were
Hilda Cragun, a soprano with
a strong and attractive voice,
Rilla Rowe Mervine. one of our
most versatile oratorio singers,
and Cantor Jacob Barkin.
The small choir ! thought at
first lacked definition of vocal
line, and seemed to be ragged
in its attacks. AS the evening
went on my conclusion was that
the acoustics of the synagogue
are not favorable to a chorus,
and that the choir itself over
came its initial nervousness.
Certainly the quiet a cappella
section in the third part of the
oratorio was magnificent.
What was bad was the Or
chestra. Although there were
a few good players in it, as an
entity it was so incompetent
that chorus and soloists were
never able to generate much
excitement through the blurred
and discordant mass of sound
from the pit. Perhaps it was
his lack of confidence in the
orchestra that made Mr.. Hal
vorson choose the most deliber-
ate tempos and the least subtle
phrasings. At any rate, he saw
no reason to entrust the fa-
nous Dead March" to his or
chestra. and although listed in
the program, it was left out.
