Aged Negro
Found Dead

A search for an aged Negro

Mrs. McKie
On Rotary
Program

Mrs Jim McKie, of Pickens,
County Chairman of the March
of Dimes Fund, presented a
very interesting program at the
regular meeting of the Lexing-
ton Rotary Club at noon Tues
day, featuring the work the
National Foundation is doing
throughout the country to COM
bat gripping diseases. Mrs.
McKie pointed out that in adj
dition to polio, the Foundation
is also now working against
birth defects and arthritis.
Mrs. McKie was presented by
Allen Ramsey, Program Chair
man. DR.. P. B. Bumby, said
one reason why he is now whole
heartedly supporting the Found
alton in its drive for funds is
that it has the means and faci-
Ities to do much needed re-
search in connection with virus
diseases, especially those caus-
ing birth defects.
Other guests of the club were
Jim McKie of Pickens, Pro
lessor Willard Bond, past presi-
dent of the Jackson Rotary
Club, and Lexington High

doubtful if it could be fixed that
night.
In the mean time, the Har-

since it was very cold last Fri

to tell them to come in and get

Washington has generously
been sending its symphony
orchestra all over North and
South America this season, and
finds it rather pleasant to have
a pair Of concerts at home for
a change this week. Since the
local folks are asked to con-
tribute $250.000 to the orches-
ira, in addition to the tickets
they buy. it is nice to be able
to hear how the orchestra is
playing now and then.
There is little complaint
about how 1t is playing, and
very little need to speculate on
what 1t is playing. Howard
Mitchell and the National
Symphony are unable to find
themselves in the same room
with a mixed chorus without
going to work on Villa LoboS'
"ChoroS No. TO-" It's an au-
tomato reaction - they must
have played the work nearly a
dozen times in the last few
years. Fortunately it's a fine
piece with more bird calls and
animal noises than the Zoo, but
it hardly wears that we'll and
certainly it doesn't deserve so
prominent a slice Of the Ma
tional Symptoms repertoire
with chorus.
The Howard University
Chorus sings the Villa Lobos
well. but is less happy in the
classic music of Gabrieli. In
the first place, the ridiculous
arrangement of Gabrieli's piece
for brass and organ, for a thea
ter organ that completely
browns out the brass is a diff
ficult accompaniment for sing
ing. and in the second, the
choir was less drilled in the
early piece. The TIE Deum"
of Kodaly, on the other hand,
was well played and we'll sung,
and is, moreover. one of the
most inspired pieces of modern
religious music.
OF the many things that can
be said about the Beethoven
Eroica symphony, one is that
three of its four movements
are closely allied to dances. The
last movement develops an ac-
tual dance Beethoven had
written many years before, the
.scherzo is by nature a dance,
and the first movement seems
to me as basically tied up with
