Nominated to Represent Bedford GOP Caramoor's Eighth Festival Opens And Dew Doesn't Dim Performance By SIDNEY EATON BOYLE KATONAH- \Facade William Walton's setting for a group of the lapi dary poems of Edith Sitwell, was performed against the per fect background Saturday night when Caramor launched its 18th annual festival. On the pink-and-white stage of the Venetian theater, Walter Hendl conducted the Caramoor orchestra in a program of Span ish and English music. A tent was set up to protect the first-night audience in this enchanting outdoor theater against a heavy June dew. (It couldn't rain at Caramoor, but let's say there were diamonds in the emerald grass.) As usual, the audience was a musically sophisticated group, come to lis ten to new, unusual or seldom- played works in a fairy-tale set ting. Two soloists shared the verses of \Facade first recited by Dame Edith herself 40 years ago at a performance that scandaliz ed London. Russell^ Oberlin's rich voice provided a' hearty male counterpoint to the well-known accents of stage star Peggy Wood. Alternately they chanted and rattled and tickled and teased at break-neck pace the word-patterns of 20 early Sitwell poems. What do they mean? When the \Man from a Far Countree\ speaks of his longing to become \. . .The peacefulness of a lovely tree A tree wherein the golden birds Are singing in the darkest branches, oh.!\ Mesmerized listeners feel no need to search further: the sounds and the images they con jure are sense enough. Crowd Responsive The audience was captivated by the artists' infectious delight in the merry dialogue of Sitwelli- an words and the airily phras ed answering music. And whether the verses were thumping as a country dance or gossamer as a spiderweb, not a syllable of sense or nonsense was lost. The second part of the program consisted of Delius's langorous Prelude to \Iremlin Grana- do's Intermezzo from \Goyes- cas,\ inspired by the paintings and tapestries of the Spanish mas ter, and de Galla's \El Amor Brujo,\ (Love, the Magician.) In the last number, the sorcery was compounded by the power ful, sensuous voice of the solo ist, Shirly Verrett.

The school appropria tion is increased, as one of the $1,000 bonds has to be paid off this year. This makes the total tax levy for the coming year $11,987.25. By MARY LOU MEESE KATONAH— Though contemporary music is sometimes thought of, unfortu nately, as \musicians' music,\ the string quartet has frankly en joyed this reputation, with its em phasis on structure and nuance compensating for whatever it might lack in color and dynam- the two were welded into an ex citing performance of John La exciting performance of John La Montaine's String Quartet by the Fine Arts Quartet. Composer Attends Beginning and ending the pro gram with more standard fare of Mozart and Mendelssohn, the per formers seemed to approach the La Montaine with elan which was perhaps, sparked by the presence of the composer in the audience. The work is in five movements beginning with a strong statement of theme in the Risoluto (repeated in the last movement), and in cluding a Scherzo, Recitative, Ar ia and Finale. It was in the melodious Aria that Irving Ilmer proved again what the great English violist Primrose has proved so well — that the viola need not take a back seat to its more illustrious cousins. An unusually effective duet between viola and muted violin was the vehicle for Mr. Il mer and Leonard Sorkin; George Spokin's treatment of a short, un accompanied cello solo in this movement was also most palat able. Abram Loft, second violin ist, gave excellent support in this work and throughout the pro gram. It was refreshing to hear the work of a modern composer who did not seem to be at war with all phases of musical tradition. The piece was tightly written, considerably cyclic in form and showed a feeling for melody which made it interesting and memorable. The performance was unusually sympathetic and technically excellent. Mr. La Montaine studied with Stella Roberts in Chicago \(My first teacher and one of the best,\ he said), with Bernard Rogers and Howard Hanson at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, with Bernard Wagenaar at Juil- liard School of Music and with Nadia Boulanger in France. He has received two Guggenheim Fellowships, a Pulitzer prize for his piano concerto and was last year the Composer in Residence at the American Academy in Rome. This fall his \Fragments from Song of Songs\ will be performed by the New York Philharmonic with Josef Kripps, conductor and Adele Addison, soprano. The string quartet, which re- Everything you need for summer .. • for your lawn .. • patio - porch and sunroom. Wide selection . •. J. H. CRANE & SON Main St. MT.

The Mozart quartet in E flat major, K.428, with which the Fine Arts began its program, pointed up the empathy which the play ers have developed to perfection. Particularly in the Menuetto: Al legretto which was built on a Garden Story Published By Helen M. Fox BEDFORD VILLAGE— Helen M. Fox of S. Bedford Road reveals the secrets of midsummer abundance and style in her garden, \High and Low,\ in an article appearing in the current issue of the Garden Jour nal, authoritative publication of the New York Botanical Garden. What Mrs. Fox, gardener and author of several books and arti cles on gardening, has to tell will interest every lover of flowers from the small homeowner with a postage stamp plot to the es tate gardener, for she gives de tailed information of each selec tion she has found to be effec tive for her special purposes and describes how they grow and where they will look their best, according to a Botanical Garden authority. Her article is illustrated by photographs which are not only beautiful in themselves but be useful in defining species, con- tines the report. A SYMBOL OF BEDFORD The square shape of the Town of Bedford is considered symbolic of its early white settlers' square- dealing, first with the Indians, who were paid \to the full satis faction\ for their lands, and lat er with each other. theme using rubato slurs to full chords and paced with staccato chord work, this unity of musical expression reached its peak. Mendelssohn's Quartet in E Minor, Opus 44, No. 2 got off to two starts. A passing airplane drowned the opening quiet sonor ities and the group good-natured ly awaited the less distracting background of bird calls before proceeding. The work, in four movements, was highlighted by the Scherzo which was reminiscent of Mid summer Night's Dream—sprite like and played with charming freedom. In addition to the normal gaucherie of late-comers, wind and airplanes caused some an noyance. Other distractions how ever—bird songs and the im pressive setting of a lovely Span ish courtyard—were considerably more tolerable, even adding to the afternoon's pleasures. The second weekend of Cara moor concerts will feature works, on Saturday evening of Strauss and Mozart with Walter Hendl, musical director of the series, as piano soloist and Adele Addi son, soprano. Sunday's afternoon concert will be entirely Miss Addison's show with songs of Nin, Aolf, Schubert, Duparc and Barber. Mr. Hendl will accom pany her.

New School Plans O.K.d In Lakeland LAKELAND — After reviewing proposed modi fications to plans for the new high school, the Lakeland Board of Ed ucation last week authorized architect Reginald Marsh to go ahead with final plans. The board set July 30 as the date for receiving the second set of bids. Several weeks of intense study and discussion were spent by the board to find ways to get the school under the estimated cost of the $3,832,003 school. The first set of bids came in $800,000 over the figure set by the bond issue. By eliminating the auditorium and four classrooms, altering parking space and administrative space, and changing some of the interior trappings, the board believes the cost is below the au thorized figure. Concerned with the feasibility of a school without an auditori um, a citizens committee sug gested at last night's meeting that the alternate proposal providing four classrooms include movable partitions. The board accepted the sug gestion and resolved to modify the classroom alternate to indi cate the installation of two mov able partitions in the classrooms planned for the first floor. The concept brought approval from both Merrit H. Lindsey, principal of the senior high school, and Walter Panas, district principal. The partitions will provide two rooms 28 by 60 ft. for either large class instruction or small assem blies. Good News for Pound Ridge, Rapid Growth Not Expected POUND RIDGE The rugged areas of northern Westchester, still lacking trans- portatfon arteries, probably will not be plagued by the rapid ex pansion of the New York metro politan area, according to John P. Keigh, executive director of Regional Plan Association. Speaking at a meeting of the Pound Ridge Association held at the Pound Ridge School on Friday Mr. Keith stated, \As the metro politan area grows, it seems in creasingly important that green areas be kept open consciously for the enjoyment of the entire region.\ The problem in the northern Westchester area, he went on to say, is how much of the open land should be kept in large pri vate lots and how much should be used in common, as commun ity parks and playgrounds. \The New York Legislature,\ Mr. Keith explained, \just made perfectly clear the right of towns to allow some houses to be built on smaller lots than the zoning RUMOR NO RUM OCT. 23, 1903: The people of the Town of Bedford have a chance on election day to decide as to whether there shall be rum sold in the town or whether the saloons and hotels shall be clos ed to that traffic. The church go ing people are working for the passage of the no-license ques tion. Last Sunday many pastors of different churches in the town preached on the subject. A num ber of years ago a great effort was made to carry the town for no-license but the proposition fail ed to pass by a few votes. ordinance requires, leaving the leftover land for open uses as the town chooses. The number of houses remains the same. The only difference is the way they are grouped.\ The speaker went on to indi cate residents of Pound Ridge might be able to take advantage of the jobs and services that will be gradually moving into the area. \The point is,\ he added, \that even here in a pleasant backwater of the metropolis, you have a stake in what happens throughout the region and espe cially in Westchester County.\ Airman Completes Special Course POUND RIDGE— Airman Second Class Jack L. Durham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack A. Durham of Sunset Lane, has completed a special United States Air Force course for com munications technicians at Good- fellow Air Force Base in Texas* Airman Durham is being re assigned to a permanent base for duty.
