Mills College
January 81. 1861
Evening star., 1961-08-23

A national cultural center
emerged in a rather unex-
Ipected place yesterday after
noon, as the South Lawn of
the White House became a
stage for a symphonic concert.
! The event was the first in a
series of Concerts for Young
People" sponsored by Mrs.
Kennedy in the interest of
stimulating the study and per-
formance of music by the youth
Of America.
The performing group was
an 85-piece symphony orches-
ira from the Pennsylvania Mu-
sic Camp in the foothills of the
Blue Ridge Mountains near
Brevard, N. c., made up of tai
ented youngsters who spend
six weeks at the summer camp.
Also playing in the orchestra
were faculty members. 1t is the
custom at Pennsylvania for
students to act as firSt-deskers
while teachers play alongside
them and thus instruct them.
Conducting the orchestra was
DR.. James Christian Pfohl, who
founded the camp 25 years ago.
The orchestra was putting on
its show for Mrs. Kennedy'S Spe-
cially invited guests-a group
of crippled, cardiac and blind
children from the District area.
State delegates to the Music
Educators National Conference,
meeting at this time in Wash
ington, were also in attendance.
Mrs. Kennedy was a hostess
in-abSentia at this gala, as she
is spending the summer with
her children in HyanniS Port.
President Kennedy substituted
as host and, after the national
anthem and Hail to the
Chief" he expressed his pride
in the work being done in
American schools.
Our music educators, said
the President, are Opening
new horizons for serious mu-
sic" in our country, a state of
affairs of which I'VE are not as
aware as we should be-"
Mr.. Kennedy took an unex-
pected leap into music criti-
cism, complimenting the Tran
sylvanians for having played
Hail to the Chief" better than
the Marine Band.
| After Mr.. Kennedy returned
to the White House on busi-
ness, the concert began in
earnest.
The musicians from North
Carolina did quite we'll with a
carefully chosen hour long pro-

gram Of familiar and unfamiliar
music under the energetic
direction of DR.. Pfohl. The
Wagner Overture to "Rienzi"
was especially precise and neat.
DR.. Pfohl even managed to
include a distinct novelty in
the form of Ernst Won DOH
nanyi'S American Rhapsody"
This work, based on American
folk tunes, was composed by
Dohnanyi at the age of rs, some
five years after he arrived in
the United States in 1949. Re-
grettably, it is not one of his
best efforts.
Perhaps the most affecting
musical moments of the after
noon came with the singing Of
the mezzo, Beverly Wolff, a
faculty member at Transyl-
vania familiar to Washington
ianS from previous appearances
here with the Opera Society
and the National Symphony
Orchestra. Miss Wolff offered
the familiar Brahms Lullaby
and the Negro spiritual Let
Us Break Bread Together"
both of which were sung with
dignity and grace.
After some remarks by
Governor Terry Sanford of
North Carolina, DR.. Pfohl
passed his baton to Henry
Hall Wilson, legislative liaiSon
for the President to the House
of Representatives, who put
the orchestra through its PAGES
in SouSa's "Stars and Stripes
Forever" Mr.. Wilson, who
played oboe in the first Tran
sylvania Music Camp orchestra,
was instrumental in arranging
for the group to open Mrs.
Kennedy'S series.
The lack of some sort of
shell to focus the music in the
direction of the audience was
a noticeable difficulty, some
thing which will doubtless be
remedied in the future.
Mrs. Kennedy hopes to
present another concert at the
White House this year. Next
year two or three given by
various young musical groups
for different audiences of
children are planned.

Sad Mood
By HARRY BAcAs
Star stan Writer

Sam Cooke wrote Sad
Mood" himself. as he does
most Of the songs he sings.
He wrote it in stages. At
first it was just q mood, a
melody and a few words.
He sang the strain in RCA
Victor's Offices to Hugo and
Luigi, the Victor music di-
rectors who supervise his re-
cordings. At that time they
were preparing to record
'.Chain Gang" Sans last
hit.
why don't you finish it,
said Hugo. you've got
something going there and
it sounds good. Write the
rest"
So Sam completed the
words, bluesy and repeti-
tious, about q man who finds
himself in q sad mood be-
cause his girl is gone.
His usual way of working
Is to sit down with his gui-
tarist and hum q few notes.
The guitarist plays chords
while Sam fakes, singing
words here and there, try
ing to create a special mood.
The words come later.

The kidding was calcu-

can't let their artists get
tense or they won't perform
at their best. So, although
they are tense themselves,
they try to keep things re-
laxed in the studio.
The next day, Hugo and
Luigi mastered the tapes.

Open House At
Hospital for
Negroes

The Community Hospital
for Negroes, 1908 Virgins
Street, an Institution estaD-
lished by the Junior League
of Jackson in 1853 has proven
to be an absolute necessity and
haven for the needy sick of
Kinds County. The purpose
of the hospital is to serve
only those who are financially
unable to meet the bills for
hospital care and yet must
have it or suffer great hard
ships. Many elderly men and
women and patients VIII could
not recover fro m a dread dis
ease have spent their final
m~nths in this quiet and com
Portable hospital, cared for
lovingly by those who are en-
ployed there.
Many of you have sent and
brought gifts of all kinds
which were appreciated very
much. Some of you have not
visited. We want you to take
a few minutes to look in on
the patients there. Your pres
ence will reassure them that
they are remembered.
The Board of Management
thinks that there is no more
significant time than Mothers
Day for us to pay tribute to
these Shut-Ins, many of whom
have no outside contacts and
no one to show them special
attention but YOU. You will
honor yourself by honoring
and cheering these dear old
and sick people. Most are in
their declining years and will
appreciate just a smile from
you.
We are urging those low
ers of humanity to visit the
hospital on Sunday, May IA,
1861 between the hours of A
and 5 p. NJ. The Fellowship
will be good for all.
Will you come and bring a
friend?

Housing Unit 0pposed|n Jackson, Miss.

A group of Negro clients,
led by a Jackson, Miss, attor-

Wednesday of this week to
protest the construction of a
multiple housing unit in a pre-
dominantly upper-class Negro
residential area and as a re-
suit, the permit has been held
up for two weeks so that Com
missioner Luckey and heads
of the city's engineering and
permit departments could
make a survey of the area
and report their findings to
the City Council.
Mayor Allen Thompson.
Commissioners D. L. Duckey
and Tom Marshall had grant
ed real estate broker w. w.
Bailey temporary license to
construct a 44-unit two-bed-
room housing project along
Livingston Road across from
Brinkley High school.
In protesting they said it
would create fire hazards
since only five foot clearance
was provided between houses;
that it would cause a decrease
In residential real estate val
ues; that, since no playground
facilities were to be provided,
1t could breed juvenile delin-
quency; that it would detract
from the recreational values
OF a new City Park and Golf
Course for Negroes which
borders the area; that it
would create health and traf-
fic problems.
Lloyd Montgomery, director
of the city planning board, and
U. j. Little, city engineer, ad-
vised councilmen against con-
struction of the unit since.
they said, cit would create a
tendency to overpopulate the
area and the value of the up
per-class residential homes
would surely decrease.

sor Amos w. Wright, curricu-
lum assistant for city public
schools; Frank Comic, cos
metics and beauty equipment
supplier, and five other resi-
dents said their represen-
tatives homes were now the
"basis for one of this city's
tourist attractions and beauty
spots"
Prof. Wright said a $1,000
home he intends to build in
the adjacent area would
surely be spoiled by multi
pie housing. I"
Other homes, the Negroes
said, cost upwards from $1O,-
600 to build.
The Negroes conceded that
city councilmen could permit
industrial or commercial con-
struction in the area since it
is zoned industrially, but in
dicated that they chopped you
wouldn't do that"
Bailey assured the Negroes
that 1--WE certainly don't want
to affect real estate values
In the area" but urged coun-
cilmen to make an on-the-spot
survey of the area and rule
on their findings.
Mayor Thompson assured
the protesting residents that
city leaders endorsed their
desire to provide a "residen-
tial showplace for our colored
Citizens" but indicated that
a fair decision must be de-
livered.
