Adventures In Music Land' Teaches Grade School Pupils Musical History
Aladdin had his magic lamp and it took him many places, but he has nothing on students in classrooms in the Lawrence-Topeka-Kansas City area by a mere press of the thumb on a magic stick, a weird, modern, musical voice takes them anywhere in history they may want to go.
The journey begins in the KFKU studios on the "Adventures in Music Land" program. Miss Mildred Seaman, program director, and Lynn Osborn, college senior, set the scene
NY City Opera Co. Plans New Operas
New York—U.P.)-The New York City Opera company is putting on three interesting new productions during its spring season starting at the City Center on March 20 and running six weeks through April 27.
Dimitri Mitropoulos conducted a concert version of this contemporary work with the New York Philharmonic Symphony this season but the opera as such has not been performed in this country since Leoold Stokowski presented it in Philadelphia in 1930.
The one likely to attract most attention is Alban Berg's "Wozzeck" on April 3.
The second new production will be Gian-Carlo Menotti's "Ahmal and the Night Visitors," composed for television and presented by NBC last Christmas Eve.
The third novelty will be Kurt Weill's "The Beggars' Opera," in a new translation and adaptation by Marc Blitzstein, which puts the locale in New York in 1870. The original Weill music remains unchanged.
by telling the students where they are going, what they will see, and whom they will visit.
This musical voice, arranged and played by University students, introduces grade school students to such famous composers as Bach, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Mozart.
At 2:30 p.m. Thursday the program will go back to the first Bayreuth festival to visit Wagner. The festival, given every August, is a mecca for music lovers.
Miss Seaman presses the magic stick and its musical voice takes her and Osborn and the students back into musical history.
The magic stick has two voices, one that everyone can hear and one that only Miss Seaman and Osborn hear.
Marcus Hahn, instructor in music education, selected the University students who play this magic music. They are Neill Humfeld, graduate student, trombone; Robert Stewart, fine arts senior, cello; Phyllis Glass, education senior, bassoon; Frank Vacin and Larry Havlicke, fine arts sophomores, clarinet; Dorsey Evans, fine arts junior, Don Macauley, fine arts freshman and Ray Glover, education junior, trumpet; Paul Worley, college sophomore, percussion.
Melvin Zack, graduate student, arranged background music for the program.
Mr. Washington Liked His Tea
Washington — (U.P.) The first prominent distiller in America was an habitual tea drinker.
The information came from the library of congress and from George Stimpson, who knows something about everything.
Stimpson maintains that Americans became drinkers of coffee instead of tea after the pioneers got angry and pitched a lot of tea-balls into Boston harbor. Seems the forefathers didn't want to pay taxes on the tea.
He was George Washington.
There is no doubt that Washington was the first well-known distiller in this country.
In fact, distilling operations still are going on in the original "Washington tract" in Fairfax County.
"He drank it day and night."
The files show that Washington liked his tea. One biographer says,
Ripley, Tenn.—(U.F.)—A baby born to Mrs. John W. Davis has a 36-year-old grandmother and a 52-year-old great - grandmother. The baby's mother is 15.

The first president, incidentally,
mentioned coffee only a couple of
times in his voluminous diary. He
once wrote at Mount Vernon: "Sent my boat to Alexandria for molasses and coffee." Another time he mentioned "The Coffee room" at Savannah and the "Coffee house" at Annapolis.
