bel and Rubinstein made the
speaker remember as a boy
the vista of music opened up
to me-"
He added that after listen
ing to Brahms, Hindemith
and Ravel, "a kind of world
opened to me, which I hope
would be opened to Others"
Children and Music
In stressing that he felt
music was an important part
in growing up, Mr.. Salinger
said, "They (children) should
at least have the opportunity
Of hearing music as a child"
The Press Secretary added,
80 many people go through
life with a plug in their ear"
A surprise for the luncheon
guests came when Mr.. Salin-
ger sat down at the piano
after speaking and played
one Of his own compositions.
The piece is nameleSs, he
said, and was composed when
he was IS.
An interesting note is that
Mr.. Salinger first started to
study in Toronto, Canada,
when his family moved there.
His teacher was then Gle
ment Hamburg at the To-
ronto Conservatory of Music.
Mr.. Hamburg has now gone
into compositional jazz and
is running a gaslight club,
according to Mr.. Salinger.
A reunion will take place

BY DAISY CLELAND
Star Staff Writer

Mr.. Pierre Salinger, press
secretary to the President,
made a plea for music and
the arts yesterday when he
spoke at the National Sym
phony Orchestra's fund rails
ing report luncheon.
The speaker called for two
means in which he felt the
youth Of this country would
benefit in the field of cul-
ture and in turn benefit the
country.
The first he mentioned
was regional youth orches-
tras" which as farm teams"
would eventually feed our
national orchestras."
Foreign Aspects
Mr.. Salinger said that a
program of this kind could
even reach abroad. This
could be done with European
tours of the youth orches-
tras which could stimulate
interest among the youths in
the countries visited.
The other suggestion Mr..
Salinger had was the estab-
lishment of an American
music or, art prize.
However, he added, II think
for it to be effective it would
have to be under the auspices
Of the White House."
Mr.. Salinger foresaw in this
latter suggestion that because
the winners would come to
Washington for proper rec
ognition there could focus
a great deal of (world wide)
aCCentlon on this"
The speaker stressed, "I
don't think America should
be on the defensive about
its music and its culture"
Mr.. Salinger, who is a
pianist in his own right,
talked Of music and what it
meant to me in my own life"
He started to study the
piano when he was 5 years
old and said that he came
from "a very musical family"

Try Chicken
In New WAYS

Broiling and frying chickens
will be a good buy this summer.
Supplies of these fine young
birls will be 25 per cent above
last year, the U. S. Department
of Agriculture reports. This
means your friendly supermar-
ket will be featuring chicken
many weeks at bargain-low
prices.
This summer serve chicken
often for indoor or outdoor
meals. It's a versatile bird that
can be cooked in a short time.
Try serving it new ways to perk
up lazy summer appetites.
SUMMER MEAT FOLDER
All meats will be in abundant
supply this summer. When the
temperature scars, don't skip
meat just because you don't
want to heat up the kitchen.
We've a new folder that tells
how to cook meats and poultry
and keep cool. If you'd like a
free copy write: Nancy Carter,
P. o. Box 1853, Atlanta, Ga.
HERBED CHICKEN
Prepare herbed fried chicken
this easy way. Cook it after
supper while you go for a ride
in the cool air. No need to
"tend" the bird, it will cook
without you being there. You
can chill it overnight and have
tomorrow's cold fried chicken
dinner all ready. Brush cut-up
chicken pieces with herb sea-
soned melted butter or marga-
rine then roll in flour or
crumbs. Place skin side up in
shallow pan lined with foil, do
not crowd pieces. Bake in mod
crate oven, $50 degrees, about
1 hour. Do not cover pan or turn
chicken during cooking. Cool
about 10 minutes then cover and
refrigerate. It will be ready for
a wonderful cold fried chicken
supper the next day.
The herbs we like best with
chicken are tarragon, curry,
parsley, dill, rosemary, thyme
and sage. Choose just one to
mix with the salt, pepper and
melted butter.
ELEGANT CHICKEN SALAD
Simmer whole or cut-up fry
ing chickens or hens with a
sliced green onion, some celery
tops and a little salt. Put the
chicken on to cook before break
fast for it requires only about
hour. When fork tender, re-
move meat from bones. Refrig-
crate meat and broth at once.
A 3-pound bird makes about
2k cups diced cooked chicken.
At mealtime prepare the salad

Alexandra Walking Tour

after the first street had been

street was renamed Lee street

who had become famous dur

in the history of the Nation.

for a moment to a century
past when the aspirations of
the colonists were running
high, and Jonathan Shipley,
later to become Bishop of st.
ASaph in North Wales. was
pleading the causes of the
colonists before George III.
His friendship and per-
sonal correspondence with
Benjamin Franklin also con-
tributed to the perpetuation
Of his name among Alex

There is an aura of ro-
nance about street names.
And in Old Alexandria the
street names take on the
added lustre of American his
tory.
In 1749, when the town
was first laid out, the first
streets named reflected the
close ties to the Crown
King, Queen, Prince, prin-
cess, Duke, Fairfax, Cameron,
etc.
But in 1853 and 1859, when
further additions were made
to the thriving town of Alex
andria. the streets of the
new area began to reflect
the growing feeling for inde-
pendence in the colonies, such
as Wilkes. Pitt, Gibbon and
st. Asaph streets.
Still later additions to the
prosperous seaport town pro-
duced street names which
perpetuated the pride in the
personalities involved in the
