How big is the financial stake
that Prince Edward County resi-

curity system How much are
they piling up in the way of old

one per cent of their earnings
UP to $1,000 a year. They are

The resultant benefits have
risen in proportion. Compared
with last year. when Prince Ed

according to figures released by
the OASI, they stand to receive
an average of $78O.OOO a year

Italy Revisited

Vienna-born Lily Spandorf
is making her first visit to the
United States, and her second
American solo exhibition is at
Collectors Corner Gallery,
1925 Wisconsin avenue NV,
through next Sunday. Thirty
or more watercolorS are hung,
and twice as many are avail
able in portfolios.
She has spent long periods
in Italy in recent years,
painting the grandeur of
Rome, and picturesque spots
of the beaten path, in Sicily
and Sardinia. The charms of
these places as depicted by
an artist with a competent
technique and an eye for pic
torial beauty, are sufficient
to start a tourist stampede.
Miss Spandorf uses water
color and gouache, and in
many cases reinforceS her
views with pen lines for
figures, architectural details,
etc. She also has two tech
niques. the fine pen and
wash, and a broader simpli-
fed handling with lines in
sepia wash.
The show includes four
glimpSes of London, where
Miss Spandorf now lives.

not been shown previously in
the Washington area, al
though this is her third solo
in less than a year. Her work
was introduced to Washing

nett Alden Gallery, and was
reviewed at length in these
columns on July l9.
Polish born, she is now a

much of her life travelling
throughout Europe, Africa,
and parts of Asia, and has
painted in France and Israel,
Italy, Spain. Tunisia and
Libya the landscapes, village
scenes and figures in the cur

Her work is impreSSionistic

The vocal music of Scan
dinavia is treated like most
vocal music. We hear far too
little of it.
1t is refreshing. therefore.
to have some of it served by
as appropriate and cele-
brated an artist as Kristen
Flagstad.
Whether it is a matter Of
native sympathy or merely
the freshness of the roper
toire. there seems to be Spe-
cial zest about Nine. Flag
stad's approach to a dozen
Norwegian songs assembled
on a new London disc.
Some, of course, are by
Grieg, yet even these, thanks
to the otherwise unlaudable
paucity of accessible per-
formances, have the attrac-
ton of relative unfamiliarity.
Other composers represented
are Eyvind Alnaes. d 1922 f,
Harald Lie I'd. 1912 and a
virtual contemporary. Arne
Eggen. whose career closed
in 1855.
Aside from Alnaes, whose
songs tend to sound rather
more German than Norweg-
ian. the music has charac-
ter.stic flavor, and Nine.
Flagstad's opulent voice en-
hances its stature. Two of the
Grieg songs, curiously, have
the same title, It'll en-" The
second is especially lovely. No

Another disc offers IA of
the nearly 100 songs of Sibel-
ius. For these. too, Nine.
Flagstad obviously has spe-
cial feeling. The mystical ele-
ment in the songs-lacking in
those of the fortnight Nor

jected. Texts are included.
