Stones book may well provide
the opening wedge to further

achievement, both in bringing
the greatest period of the Rem

the complex political situation,
the interplay of personalities in
Florence and in Rome as Savon-

his complete identification with

Other Opportunities

For those interested in educational op-
portunities there is a growing selection of
universities and special Schools-all handy:
For sightSeerS, be they art lovers, bib
liophileS, amateur astronomers or archeo-
logists, Civil War bluffs or just plain rubber
necks there1l be just about everything
what's already in existence plus new muse
ums, expanded and better displayed art
collections, a probable planetarium and
probable permanent industrial exhibit
center.
. For vacationiSts, Dulles Airport, gate
way to the world, will be as near as a down.
town heliport.
For motorists all expresswayS in all
directions will be intercepted by the stop
light-free Inner Loop.
Amateur photographers and people who
just like to look at scenery will have field
day. Once wartime tempos are gone,
Washington'S vast expanse of downtown
parkland will once again come into its own,
with new walkways more and better
benches, gardens, trees and infinite reflec-
tionS.
And finally compared to spacious sub
urbia, where one finds peace only to the
extent that the neighbors kids and his
lawnmower will permit, there will be many
places just to be alone-to sit and find the
spiritual refreshment that comes only with
solitary reflection

For Your Leisure

A MERICANS, including WaShington1ans,
n more and more are concerned with
the use of their spare time.
Life for them in modern America, and
in modern Washington, is far cry from
the six-day sunrise -to-sunset work week Of
their forefatherS
Thus, peoples search for facilities to
help them use their spare time is reaching
the stage of recreation boom"
The leaders revitalizing and rebuilding
Washington's "Metro-Center" are fully
aware of this situation.
They define the term recreation in its
broad sense-anything anyone does, when
not attending to the necessities of life, to
rekindle his spirit, to recharge his batteries
from watching the Senators to just sit
ting on the grass And, unless someone's
favorite pastime happens to be moving
the grass or using the facilities of country
club that has to be next door, he'll find
that downtown is going to offer more op-
portunitieS for recreation than suburbia.

Leisure Attractions

Let's take a look at the recreation OPP
portunities being built into the downtown:
For spectator sportsmen the new Stadi-
um, where you can park, will be only a
short ride down East Capitol street.
For theatergoeys and music lovers there
will be the new Arena Stage and, unless
President Kennedy'S. powers of persuasion
have been grossly overestimated, Ma
tional Cultural Center-both within easy
reach of -urbanites.
. For diners-out there are a. variety of
new and intriguing restaurants and night
spots underway and being planned, in
cluding sidewalk cafes
For nature lovers birdwatching will be
only as far off as Roosevelt Island and the
C6zO Canal.
For boating enthusiasts facilities for all
types of boats from prams to yachts will be
available.
Evening star., 1961-09-17

For fishermen who haven't time to go
to the ocean, the Bay or the mountains the
new fishway at Snake Island and anti
pollution measures will offer new opportu-
mites.
For tennis and golf players, not to
mention lacrosse players, baseball and soft
ball players, soccer players, horseshoe
pitchers and lobbyists, steady improve
ment in the facilities available in Wash
ington's vast network of downtown parks
and recreation centerS is underway.

Two days later Loretta

sad songs, and sad songs

I'm happy most of the time,

I get the title first and then

song, and I write about one
each day. If I get A on test,
1 write a song cause I'm

class, we we're pinning pat

gave me an idea for a song
about you can't pin my heart
to a pattern.
When I started taking typ
ing last year at Blair, we were
taught to type in time, and I
got the beat and wrote 'Dou-

In the sanctuary of a
church at night, Don AIRING
ton sits at the grand piano
composing show tunes.
In q bedroom behind a
closed door. Bradford Gowen
sits at his neat, uncluttered
desk turning out classical
piano compositions.
In a high school tipping
class, Loretta Ward beats out
popular ballads and rock
and-roll tunes on a type
writer. The lyrics are written
I her next class-bookkeep-
ing.
These three teen-agerS in
different sections of the
Washington area are con-
nected only by the musical
rHuse who picks the darndest
times to inspire the young
composers.
Fourteen year old Brad
ford writes best when he is
.-ked and annoyed and away
from a piano.
Two weeks ago had been
to church. 1t was hot day
and we had company" ex-
plains the Bethesda Chevy
Chase High sophomore.
There were a lot of younger
children. 1 went up to my
desk in my bedroom and
wrote an anthem, 'Sanctus,'
in 212 hours"
The choir director at Chevy
Chase Methodist Church,
where Bradford sings bass, is
going to help him get the
anthem published.
Some noisy brothers and a
family argument on New
Years eve sent a "disgusted"

Frost poem. Listening to the

tripped-but the boy I was
going with didn't believe me,
so we had a fight and I
wrote one of my better songs
afterward," says Loretta.
One of Loretta's songs, that
is awaiting release on a rec
ord, was written for Charlotte
Hall, another Blair junior,
who had a boy friend in
another state. IT'S a weepy
thing" says Loretta.
But like all composers watt
ing for inspiration. Loretta
has hit a snag-a boy. I've
been dating Danny recently"
explains the Montgomery
County songwriter, land every
time we fought he made me
laugh, so I didn't write a
single song for two weeks. So
we had a real fight two weeks
ago and I wrote song and
haven't stopped writing
since"
Loretta plays the piano,
but she can't write her songs
on paper. Il love music so
much and I'm so anxious to
get home to the piano that I
turn down dates after school
with boys" says Loretta. Once
home, she rushes to the piano
and tapes her batch of songs.
Then she sends them off to
the recording studios in
Nashville.
Bradford has a piano but
doesn't use it to write his
music, Loretta has a piano but
writes her songs on a type
writer, but Don Arlington, a
17-year-old Virginia COM
poser, writes all his tunes at
a piano even though he
doesn't own one.
The Mclean High School
senior usually does his COM
posing on a piano at Little
Falls Presbyterian Church, a
few blocks from his home.
Other times he uses his music
teachers piano.

dark and preferably after it's
rained. l write best at mid
night when I'm tired, for
some reason" Don says. He
also acts, sings, directs and
produces plays, as we'll as
writes musicals. which makes
him a teen-age version of
Noel Coward. He wrote 10
songs for Operation Moons

summer when it was pro-
duced by the Arlington Teen

He spent two years writing

unproduced. The show has
25 musical numbers in it.
One of them, called "Pano-
rama City," Don wrote in the
middle of lunch with teen
ayers at school. Its a nerv-
Gus, fast number" he says,
80 that's why it was written
in that surrounding" Us
ually, though, he uses part of
his lunchtime to compose on
a piano at school. !
A spiritual that opens
World of Progress" was
written that way. Il was
dieting, so 1 had more time
to play the piano at lunch
time. I hit a couple of minor
chords and starting moaning.
I kept moaning until the
lyrics came. You can see
Gershwin's influence on me
in it,"
Don wrote a hymn once in
health class and a love song
for his show after going
steadily with Mclean senior
Carol Vogel, he says. Another
time, after attending youth
fellowship meeting, he played
a run up the piano, hit a
wrong note, and kept going
until he'd written an entire
song.
Which goes to show that
teen-age composers may need
inspiration to write, but
they're constanctly being in
spired.

THERE'S MUSIC EVERYWHERE
What Inspires Young Composers?

like watching snow pile up
on a wooden fence.
Bradford has been taking
piano lessons since he was 10.
He hopes to be a concert
pianist or orchestra conduc-
tor although he doesn't like
studying music theory. He
became so annoyed looking
through his theory book that
when he came to a sentence
that gave four chords and
said develop it, Bradford
did just that. He wrote $50
jaunty, boisterous chords
and called the composition
"Scherzo." That's Italian
for joke" says the teen-ager
who, adults say, can make
one piano seem like an en-
tire orchestra when he ac-
companies musical shows and
SoloiStS.
Bradford has written two
or three sonatas for piano on
hot nights when I couldn't
Sleep and music for some
ancient Chinese texts. Now
he wants to get together a
group of winter songs and
he has some ideas for an
other sonata, but nothing is
bothering him at the mo-
ment so he hasn't gotten
started on them.
Loretta Ward, on the other
hand, sees and hears a song
in whatever she's doing. The
Montgomery Blair High jun
ior is like the dentist-com-
poser in Bells Are Ringing"
everything suggests a tune.
For instance, the 15-year-
old Silver Spring girl had a
fight with her steady, a boy
named Mike at Anacostia
High. She went down to her
basement piano and in 5
minutes out came When a
Girl Gives Her Heart to a
Boy"
Her 18-year-old sister Jan,
who graduated in June from
Blair, recorded the song and
now both girls are under con-
tract to Monument Records

The Baltimore Sun
opens bureau in India

The Sun has now opened permanent news bureau in
New Delhi, the capital of India.
It is the papers fifth foreign bureau and the fourth to
be established in less than six years.
In the belief that resurgent Germany would play an
ever more dominant role in the affairs Of Europe and
might prove the ultimate key to peace or war between
East and West The Sun began operations from BoL the
capital Of West Germany in February 1855 Nothing has
occurred in the years between to call that belief into
question.
To provide its readers a more comprehensive news
report from the capital of the Communist world The Sun
secured from the Soviet Union permission to establish
permanent bureau in Moscow in January, 1856 AT that
time the paper was one Of only four American newspapers
accredited to operate on permanent basis behind the
Iron Curtain Today it is one Of three. The editors were
then convinced that keeping rsthand contact with what
goes on in the Russian capital was on par in importance
with thorough coverage Of Washington where The Sun
has maintained news bureau for over 118 years. They
still are.
Sustained tensions in the Near East and North Africa,
and the effect these tensions might have on the rest of
the Mediterranean region and the entire world prompted
the establishment of bureau in Rome in July, 1857
