Sheepherder's Soiloquy
By j. R. Largo

One yucca thorn points beyond the hill
Between the twisted twigS Of cedar
Where blooms bright in freewill,
And the sky is pulled by the calendar.
My sleeps tongue numb and still,
AS they Craze freely the land,
Eating the grass each leaf and strand.
I've the dark windows morn's light span.
And three sitting below, talking and drinking
I've pretty girls walk with
And up the street with another, laughing.
But my sheep thinks nothing of the towns plan;
They just Craze freely the land,
Eating the grass each leaf and strand.
Seeing the town pass silver from hand TO hand
Swaps my grey wrinkles whether it's we'll to do
So with solemn sober features stand,
AS though my life strive
But my sheep agree; they all under stand.
AS they Craze freely the land.
Eating the grass each leaf and strand.
Spread upon the meadows stretch of green,
The sleeps incisors a batch of grass.
Their cheeks bubble the grass roll between.
Milling Clumps, the roots are all they pass
Just The sound OF cheWng the rests serene,
AS the sheep Craze freely the land
Eating the grass each leaf and strand
A sudden bleak cry lifts the ewes eye.
Her lamb excites the herd to waves of murmur.
The sheep anlble, crying for right reply
Soon when each is found silent becomes the stir.
With wagging tails, the lambs suck milk without a
AS the sheep Craze freely the land,
Eating the grass each leaf and strand.
When goat S hunger leads TO shrubs away,
And the wooden herd blindly begin follow,
My peace is gone, and step after the herds way
Across country through rain the wind, and snow.
Often bird, maybe deer, bids stay,
AS the sheep Craze freely the land
Eating the grass each leaf and strand.

NY. Brass Quintet To
Appear At Dover High

cent Persichetti IA solo suite
for Harvey Phillips, the groups
tuba player), and Gunther Sch
uller, whom the Margaret Whit
all Foundation commiss stoned to
write his 'Music for Brass
Quintet" for one of the ensem-
ble's concerts at the Library
of Congress.
Of course, contemporary
music represents only one por-
tion of the Quintet's progral
planning. Much painstaking re-
search into long forgotten achi-
yes has resulted in a fresh,
Bach repertoire, pieces
that we're once popular from the
sixteenth through the eighteenth
centuries. Much of this music :
ranging from the antiphonally
conceived Renaissance Can
zonss of Giovenni Gabrieli
through the baroque suites for
brasses that we're played from
the open air towers of provin-
cial German towns = we're or
iginally performed by a wide
and frequently unspecified var
iety of instruments. Just as
"Stardust" today is arranged
and played to any "combo",
these earlier works could be
rendered by any compatible
group of instruments, a prac-
tice that the New York Brass
Quintet has followed in adap-
ting these pieces for their own
instrumentation.
While most of the Quintet's
programs are mixed in content
and include example of almost
every style or period of COM
position, whole concerts have
often been devoted to either all
contemporary music or allpre-
classics. Zone such appearance

This was the concern of C.E.
Phillips who conducted re-
search at the University of Del

results are published in the
progress Report" entitled,
chemical Control of Crab
grass In Lawn Turf"
Phillips found that Dacthal
and Zytron gave the most salts
factory control of any chem :
icals when applied before crab
grass emergence.
Results also showed that Tri-

gave excellent crabgrass con-

When four string players con-
gregate together to play the
classics, they have at their
disposal a gigantic repertoire
of pieces - from the familiar
Mozart and Haydn, through the
mighty quartets of Beethoven,
to the most modern intricacies
of Bartok, Schoenberg, or Car
ter. But what happens when
five top-rated brass instrument
talists, each a solist in his
own right, decided to combine
forces to form a brass quin-
etc = what music can they
play7
This problem faced the mem
bers of the New York Brass
Quintet over seven years ago,
when the group was first for
med, for, with few exceptions,
there was no established rep
ertoire for such an ensemble
to play. Today, however, the
New York Brass Quintet, which
will be appearing before the
Dover Community Concert As
sociation, at Dover High School
Auditorium, on Monday, March
4, at 500 p.m., can boast of
several hundredpublished, con-
temporary pieces from which to
choose its programs, not to
mention pre- eighteenth CEN
tury works and even a few nine
teenth century novelties that the
group has uncovered. How did
this repertoire become estab-
lished2
Music for brasses, of course,
requires expert players. The
fact that all the members of
the New York Brass Quintet =
Robert Nagel and Ted Weis,
trumpets; Raymond Alonge,
French horn; John Swallow,
trombone; and Harvey Phillips,
tuba - have superb regulations
as virtuosis on their instru-
rnents, plus the fact that each
had performed under some of
the greatest conductors, for in
stance, Stokowski, Renter,
Stravinsky, Casals, and Bern
stein, was a source of great
interest to audiences who first
| heard these skilled instrument
talists in combination. Con-
temporary composers, fascin-
ated equally with the sonor-
tiles of the brass ensemble and
the high caliber of the group,
realized that with the paucity
of brass material, any works
written for the Quintet would
attend much better opport-
unity of being performed, and
played more frequently aswell,
than strictly orchestral music,
which might be heard only spor-
adically at best.
A Boston music publisher,
too, saw the light. He provided
mot only several pieces he had
for brasses but also presented
the possibility of printing new
pieces written for the group.
Thus, the idea of an outlet
flor their work stimulated com :
lposers and inspired them to
write a fresh new repertoire
Especially for the New York
Brass Quintet. This repertoire
now includes such celebrated
names as Alea Wilder 1.-TWO
suites), Malcolm Arnold, the
Danish composer Vagn Holm
Doe, the Frenchman Eugene
Bozza, Richard Arnell, Allen
Hovhaness, Ludwig Lenel, Mel

Celebrate Century Of
Commercial Banking

County activities will be
under the direction Of Harry
Dukes, president of the First
National Bank of Frankford, in
Sussex County; Mr.. Wagner,
cashier of the People Bank,
Harrington, in Kent County; and
Garland Potts, vice president
of the Delaware Trust Comp
any, in New Castle County.
February rs was the hundre-
dith anniversary of the date
when President Lincoln signed
the National Currency Act.
That significant act, which
received little attention at the
time, provided for the issuance
of a national currency, helped
to finance the Civil War, and
laid the foundation for the pre-
send-day dual system of state
and nationally-chartered COM
mercial banks.
Mr.. Wagner said that prior
to the signing of the currency
act, much confusion existed In
banking laws and systems of
currency in the different states.
Many banks printed and loaned
their own bank notes--with the
result that about 10000 var
ieties of paper money were In
circulation at the same time.
Lincoln's Secretary of the
Treasury proposed an improved
new banking system capable of
insuring a stable currency for
the whole country andproviding
other basic financial services
for the people and its govern
ment.
And, since the government
at the time had a costly war on
its hands, one specific service
he was also interested in hav-
ing the new system perform was
to help the government pay its
bills by investing in Treasury
bonds.
The National Currency Act
was followed TWO years later
by a Congressional tax of 10
per cent on all currency issued
by state-chartered banks. This
forced virurally all such cur
rency out of circulation and
steadily increasing number of
banks came into the national
baking system.
This gave rise to a number
of national banks. In subsequent
years, state-chartered banks
discovered that they could oper-
ate success sfully without issuing
currency, and these banks, too,
continued to grow an to flourish.
The Currency Act thus inaug-
urated a dynamic new era of
American banking progress
an era in hfederally-char-
tered commercial banks and
their state chartered counter
parts worked and moved ahead
together in response to the
ever r<growing needs of the
nsrion for money and credit
to financh its growth.
