That is why we are strongly urging the public to make appointments for this Friday's emergency blood center by phoning Red Cross. so grave we will welcome course, the situation tel in donors without appointment, but we always are afraid a donor without an appointment may become uneasy and leave without giving. "'We have ample parking facilities at the chapter house and in cases where transportation is needed we will supply it, Wel will also have volunteers who will attend babies at the center while mothers are donating. In fact, we'll do anything reasonable to make a donation possible." As an example of the desperlateness of the situation.

Some Like It Gay There are those who would rather have their Mozart lighthearted and gay. But it is unlikethat they could find telling arguments against the unhurried serenity of the "Haffner" Wednesday night. So, also, with Beethoven's Third Symphony The first movement had all of Ipects from promentum, played up surging one speed.

But the second movement (funeral) was slow, so slow, as to be nearly, but not quite, ponderous. It was indeed a funeral march the sort that causes the marchers to stand on one foot a moment between each step.

It is of surprises, some shocking, comical, and it is much discordant and jagged than contemporary music. There is high excitement in music, but no unsettling tension. There are big buildups to sudden stops followed by lilting trios and varying combinations of woodwinds and brassThere is an extreme variety textures, lots of soft percussiveness, entertaining overlapping polyrhythms, sudden shifts in speeds and voluntes.

The surety and exactness of the conductor's direction (plus, no doubt, long sessions of rehearsals and previous performances) provided a security that gave the piece unity and cohesiveness. The deliberate approach, used by Schmidt-Isserstedt can easily turn Mozart and Beethoven into a series of thumps separated by pleasant platcaus. But he has found a way (at Wednesday night's concert. at least) to escape that trap. There were no lumps in that one.

SPECIFICATIONS MAY BE SET UP School Board May Act On Supervisory Post The setting up of specifications for the position of supervisor of buildings and custodians in the School Department is expected to be a high light of the School Committee meeting tonight at 8 in the board room. on The finance and salaries subcommittee will meet at 7:30.
