Of discovery and q New

Hopes for q genuine new

and the first signs are aus
picious.
The President-elect has
made an immediate, gesture.
choosing for the Inaugural
Concert scheduled for Consti-
tuition Hall next Thursday
evening not only a program
with respectable musical con-
tent which any music critic
can attend with a clear con-
science. but also one which
spotlights the serious music
Of our own time.
Three Of the five works to
be performed by the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra
(assisted by the Georgetown
University Glee Club, the
Howard University Chorus,
and Pianist Earl Wild are
by American composers. The
affair will begin with the
world premiere Of an over

the occasion by John La

Randall Thompson's elo-
quent choral setting Of four

bring the concert to a close.
Nor are age and tradition
neglected. Mischa Elman,

son before the American
public, viii be heard as SOLO

be Tchaikovsky in the guise
OF the Romeo and Juliet
Fantasy Overture, an old,
tried-and-true favorite.
A Musical Capital
When the program for the
Inaugural Concert was an
nounced. Jay K. Hoffman,
administrator of the affair
for the Inaugural Committee,
was quoted as saying:
Il think what this means
Is that now at last attention
Of the musical world viii be-
gin to be focused on WASH
ington as the musical capital
of the United States, just as
in other countries the capi-
tails - such as Paris and
Vienna-are both musical as
well as political capitals"
Mr.. Hoffman also called
attention to the accent on
goth century American music
and remarked that If the
President-elect were to con-
tinue along these lines,
American musicians would
not have to look to Europe
for encourasement."
How much does the In
augural Concert mean in
fact?
Probably less than Mr..
Hoffman says it means-but
also probably more than the
old political hands think.

Kurt was IL when his father, Dr. Fritz
Vented, an authority on photO-chemis-
try, brought the family to the United
States. His interest in photography had
begun at 9, when his father made him q
pin-hOle camera.
Kurt started his professional career
as press photographer for Underwood
& Underwood. He was working in the
Biographies dark room when a series
Of photos he had made of Washington at
night attracted the attention of the IL
lustrations editor. The pictures were
used in the magazine, and Kurt soon
was transferred from the laboratory to
the Photographic staff.
When he isn't glObe-trOtting, Kurt,
who is q bachelor, lives at 3137 N street
NV, surrounded by artifacts and trO-
phies gathered on his assignments. He
has turned his basement into q COM
pletely equipped photo lab and work
shop.
But his sOjOurnS there sometimes
are almost as temporary as his stay in
East Berlin. He never knows where
he'll be sent-nor for how long.
Which, he insists, is just the way he
likes it.

was participating in tiger shoot as a
guest Of the Maharaja of Bundi.
The setting was straight from the
pages Of Kipling," Kurt says. There
were many distinguished guests, in
cluding British Field Marshal Auchin-
leck"
A city Of tents had been erected in
the jungle. The hunters enjoyed all the
refinements of city life, including bath
tubs in all the tents. And they donned
white dinner jackets for the evening
meals.
They travelled by elephant to the
Machans tree platforms) where their
English rifles were waiting, carefully
packed in velvet-lined cases. When the
tiger finally approached the blinds, he
was wounded by the first shot and ran
into the tall elephant grass. The Maha-
raja's younger brother, on the howdah
of an elephant, charged into the grass
after the wounded cat In desperate
fury, the tiger leaped upon the trumpet
ing elephant and clawed his way toward
the hOwdah. The rajah took careful aim
and fired shot into the tigers head.

Two horses on that bridge at the
same time" Kurt says, land we'd have
been done for"
Another night, alone and on foot, he
wandered into a Buddhist burial ground
on the high Tibetan plateau.
1T was quite an eerie scene" he re-
calls. Large mounds like mud iglOOs
were festOOned with prayer flags, flut-
tering in the moonlight. The whole
thing reminded me of Dali painting"
Kurt spent two years in India for
the Geographic. One night, he and a
friend disguised themselves as Hindus
and slipped into the Temple of the Fish
Eye Goddess. They remembered just in
time to remove their sandals; other
wise, they almost certainly would have
been detected and punished.
AS they neared the inner temple
containing the idol, moving steathily
among the wOrshippers, they suddenly
came face-tO-face with huge Brahman
who was stripped to the waist They
dropped to their knees amidst group
of UntOuchables. The Brahman gave
them each a handful of grain, along
with the UntOuchables. II was rotten.

1T was a nasty situation" Kurt con-
cedes. II consider myself lucky to be
back in Washington"
But the nasty situation" is almost
a commonplace in Kurt WentzeIS far
flung work for the Geographic.
Once, for example, he and a friend
were lost at night in the Himalayan
Mountains They were on horseback,
threading their way along a narrow
trail high above the Indus River when,
rounding sharp curve, they were sud-
denly confronted by rope suspension
bridge. Refining in his horse, Kurt
yelled, "Whoap'-but he might as well
have saved his breath
Il closed my eyes, prayed, and
hoped for the best" he relates. Il
could hear the rapids few hundred
feet below. The crazy horse plunged
ahead like a drunken sailor, swaying
and lurching with the bridge"
Somehow, the horse made it to the
other side. Kurt's companion, mean
while, was leading his mount across.

FORESTRY INDUSTRY
IS ECONOMY BOOST

provide the bulk of the material for the
forestry Industries throughout the entire
country.
Already the South has found the
growing of timber a primary source of
income and wealth. The timber industry
is a stable one. Forestry products have
become indispensable facets of our
everyday lives. What's more, it is appar-
ent that the demand for these items will
continuously increase in the future.
II /" 4 n
Just as is the case with any other seq
ment of our economy, if we are to capt.
talize upon the wise use of tlmberlands,
we must realize the potential which ex-
lists. The advantages of making better
use of timberlandS are numerous: but
forestry projects are long-range ones and
immediate advantages are O always OBJ
viouS.
We think that more landowners
should be made to see the advantages OF
tree-farming. Certainly, the various state
and federal agencies throughout the
country and here in Holmes County that
are concerned with this field stand ready
at all times to offer assistance. 1t is up to
the individual to take the first step,
however. Let's not pass up the oppor-
tunity to develop this important natural
resource!

cases, one of the most prac-
teal and satisfactory ways
of providing shelter is to
build a basement shelter
room. This can be built in
one end or corner of the
basement with concrete or
masonry walls and ceiling
and usually with a masonry
battle wall in front of the
entrance.
There are many satisfact-
DRY variations as to dimen-
sions, structure and mater
ials.
This basement shelter ap-
proach takes advantage of
the inherent protection af-
forded by the basement it
self, and merely increases
the protection of one Sec
ton of the basement to
hold down the dosage re-
ceived in the critical early
hours and days of the en-
Urgency.
A typical design for a

NOTES

Are your savings &C
cumulating as fast as you
would like them to?
One good way to help
them grow faster is to eli
inmate waste, and a good
place to start your war on
waste is in the kitchen. 1t
is estimated that the ave-
rage American family
throws away two-thirds of
a pound of food for each
person each day. The mon
ey spent for this unused
fool would certainly be a
nice beginning for a larger
savings fund.
Take a look at your cloth
ing closet. Here's another
place where money can
slip through your fingers
in a number of ways. One
of these is the miSfit article
a dress or coat that
doesn't go with anything
else you have. Better plan
ming next time can prevent
Implications of such ex-
pensive purchases.
Check your clothing stor-
age. There may be articles,
that with a few alterations
could go to a fashion show.
Get them ready to wear
and save the money you
would have spent Tor
another purchase. It'll
come in mighty handy
when you need clothes for
a special occasion.
Does your clothing, fur

Last week we discussed
the protection factor of a
shelter. Below is a chart
that shows the Half-Value
Layer Thickness for seve-
raj common shielding fac
tors. The Half-Value is that
thickness that will reduce
the radiation one-half.
However, it is important
that we realize that two
such half-values WILL NOT
reduce the radiation to
zero, but to one-half of
what remains. For ex-
ample, where 3.3 inches of
earth is a half-value thick
ness it will take IL such
thicknesses Or three feet of
earth to give a protection
factor of approximately
5000.
The following discussion
of designs and design prob
lens will serve as a guide
to methods of providing the
necessary minimum pro-
lection under various con-
ditions, with the empha-
sis on minimum cost.
With recognition and &C
ceptance of the need for
fallout protection and with

ton of shelters as recon-
mended herein, it is ex-

Preparing food for Anne

was a long and tiresome
task. AL cooking was done
in fireplaces that were Of

wide and four feet deep.
How would you like to
cook your stew over a blaz-

We feel sure it took some

Close by the fireplace was

On The brick floor near
the fireplace stood large
skillets on spider legs so
they could be placed in the
Goals, and waffel irons with
long handles. Even at that
time they had a device for
toasting bread evenly.
Food was carried from
the kitchen to the dining

who had to whistle from
the outside kitchen to the
dining room of the masters
house to prove he was not

Next weeks Holmes County Herald
contains a "Spotlight On Forestry" sect
ion which includes, among other things,
facts concerning the economic import
ance of this aspect of our economy. The
information was compiled and is pre-
Sented to Herald readers SO as TO &C
quaint them with those agencies and in
dividuals in Holmes County that are
connected with the area woodlands.
We all enjoy the forests in terms of
natural beauty, but SO often the present
economic significance and future po-
tential of the industry is overlooked. We
think that the figures, indicating the
amount of the money brought into Hol-
mes each year due to the county's for
eSts should be of particular interest to
every citizen. They show that the total
forestry income including that amount
paid to vendors, the amount of pulp
wood saw timber sold, and other related
expenditures, amounts to more than
100000 here each year.
Experts say that the South, and MiSSiS-
sippi particularly, possesses all the natu-
raj factors which make it a particularly
high wood productions region. The most
reliable information indicates that the
entire nation will be looking to our part
of the country, in the years ahead, to
