Concert reflects America's past
By KATHLEEN PICKETT
No charges have been filed in the case.
One of the happier results of the United States Bicentennial celebration is the increased interest in American culture—history, art and music.
An example of the interest was the large audience attending the Lawrence Chamber Players' concert, "Music of American Songs" in p. m. yesterday in the Museum of Art.
The room was overflowing with people listening to a concert of purely American music.
revolutionary times to Wallingford Riegger, who died in 1961.
REVIEW
The entire concert was beautifully performed. Its only fault was that it lasted merely one hour. Perhaps some of the musicians were trite, but they were lovable unpleasantly.
The first number was "Scherzo for Small Orchestra," by Wallingford Riegger. The second, in 1933, the number in 1933. Though parts were harsh and shrill, the whole fit together in an appropriately joke-like manner. The instrumentation, inclined, especially the pizzicato notes.
The concert proceeded in reverse chronological order, from the modern, unknown compositions to the more familiar Scott Joplin and Francis Hopkinson.
The concert showed the wide diversity in composition that has typified American music. Our music may not have reached the heights of Mozart or Beethoven but, it in the case of the symphony connoisseur, has shown the originality that can arise in a country with diverse roots.
The next number was "Autumn—
Concerto for Harp, Strings and Percussion" by Virgil Thomson. This work was composed in 1929. Although Thomson lived and studied in the irreverent 1920s, his work is usually mellow enough to strike the interest of any casual music lover.
Walter Piston's "Lento and Allegro scherzando from Three Pieces for Flute, and Four Parts for Guitar," study in the contrasts of timbre and rhythm. The piece began with subdued color and structure reminiscent of Stravinsky, and then took off with combinations of the three
There were four parts to this piece, one sonorous and rich, another with lovely contrast of harp and orchestra bells, still with strings that end in the strings and long gillands in harp.
Exotic impressionism was represented by the "Poem for Flute and Orchestra" by Charles Griffes. Chages of moods were beautifully represented and were enhanced by a professional performance on the flute by John Boulton.
The most popular, and familiar, numbers on the program were Lousie Moreau Gottschalk's "The Banjo (Fantasia Groteque) Op. 15" and Scott Jolin's "Hellotrope Bouquet," which he wrote with Louis Chauvin.
"The Banjo" was slightly刻 in a few places, but nonetheless delightful, especially in its remarkable simulation of the sound of a banjo. The resemblance to a piano was so subtle that it played piece, when the piano played music similar to Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races."
Ward's rendition of the Joplin piece was done with such purity and elegant musicality that it easily surpassed many recorded performances by Joplin himself. It was a masterpiece but to play an encore and he naturally performed the popular "Mamelaile Rae."
The last three numbers were arranged chronologically among the composers in the United States. The

typically physical and charming in style.
They were the well-known "Delia" by Henri Capron, written in 1733, and two numbers by Francis Hopkinson, who signed the Declaration of Independence. They were "Beneath a Weeping Willow's Shade," and they are delightful despite the monotone 64 rhythm, and "The Toast to George Washington," a stirring marital piece.
In all, the concert was entertaining, with the variety of instruments and styles used showing the variety of American musical heritage.

Farmers wait for Soviets
However, confusion arose when the council later voted to establish another committee to study the feasibility of continuing the telephone service.

mium wheat estimate estimated local
wheat prices in the past week.
A recommendation of the ad hoc committee of the council to continue the Dial-Drug line with certain changes in its administration was passed by the council.
Earl Van Meter, Douglas County Agricultural Extension Agent, said this year's harvest was average, or slightly better than average. He estimated the crop yield to be about 18,000 acres Douglas County had about 18,000 acres seeded this year. Van Meter said.
Prices at the Farmers Cooperative Association of Lawrence jumped from $2.89 a bushel last Monday to $3.59 a bushel Saturday. The Farmers Elevator Company sold more than a hundred with a Saturday price of $1.51 a bushel, lower than $3 earlier in the week.

Harris said he thought farmers would continue to hold on to their wheat. If the Russians are sincerely about dealing for prices, prices could go up to $3 a bushel, he said.
According to the executive committee's resolution to disband, the council may be reestablished if a $10,340 grant from the state is received.
Rick Silber, another member of the council, said the interim committee, which would be appointed by the present planning coordinator, Nancy Hartman, would try to

"I intend to get together with Nancy Hartman, but other people should be approached about being on it," Silber said of the interim committee.
Despite the enticing prices, local farmers have been reluctant to sell their wheat, choosing instead to store it and gamble on future deals with the Soviets.
Don Harris, manager of the Eudora elevator, said Saturday that his elevator had bought more than 47 per cent of the 112.000 bushels that came in.
Nancy Boswell, bookkeeper at the Lawrence elevator, said Saturday that only 25 per cent of a total of 160,000 bushels in the elevator had been sold by farmers.
If the grant is received, the Douglas County commissioners would decide on a new planning coordinator and would provide guidelines for membership on the council.
The new council would consider the recommendations of the interim committee and the former ad hoc committee regarding continuation of the Dial-Drug project.
There was a small amount of mosaic disease in the crop this year, Harris said. Much of the grain had a high moisture content because of the heavy rains that occurred at the beginning of the harvest, he said.
in the Eudora area had increased 29 per cent over last year, yield was down because of warmer temperatures.
The Lawrence elevator reported they had more weeds in the grain than usual because it was dry.

One of our primary thrusts in the months just ahead will be the development and expansion of our medical team," she added. We'd like someone of Dr. Mill's capabilities to head up this program."
