cast over Stattion WRC. Joining
him on that program were to be the
drum and bugle corps of Boy Scout
Troop 62, Neighborhood House, and
the Washington and Lee High
School Glee Club, Arlington, Va.
Kenneth H. Berkeley, general
manager of the National Broadcast
ing Co. here, and B. M. McKelway,
managing editor of The Star, will
turn over the contents of the Dollar
Club cash register to officials of the
orchestra drive tomorrow at 4:30
pm. The broadcast at that time,
closing the doors of the Dollar Club,
will be heard over Station WRC.
Prank R. Jelleff, sponsor of the
business and professional committee
for the drive and a member of the
National Symphony’s Board of Di
rectors, said on a broadcast from
the Dollar Club yesterday that from
a businessman's point of view, it was
a good idea to support the National
Symphony Orchestra. He pointed
out that the orchestra on tour is a
fine advertisement for Washington.
Workers in business, he added,
6hould support the orchestra by
bringing to the Dollar Club what
they wished to contribute.
Cherrington Cites Need.
Now, more than any time in the
past, Washington needs the Nation
al Symphony. Dr. Ben M. Cherring
ton, chief of the Division of Cul
tural Relations of the State Depart
ment, said during another Dollar
Club program yesterday.
“With the finest creative achieve
ments of man being blacked out
in other parts of the world, we
must not allow them to disappear
through neglect over here,” he de
clared.
Almost single handed, he went
on, the National Symphony has
lifted from Washington the stigma
of being an vgunusical city. ^ ___
“Symphony!’ orchestras are not
made in a day,” he said. “In some
way and against great odds Dr.
Kindler has given *to Washington
in the short space of nine years an
orchestra which has become rec
ognized as one of the major sym
phonies in this country. This is
a remarkable achievement and one
not to be taken lightly. Nor is it
probably that the people of Wash
ington do take it lightly or that
they will let this orchestra expire."
School Gives $40.
Warren Graves represented the
Gordon Junior High School in pre
senting to the Dollar Club a $40
gift from the school. The money,
he explained, was raised last Thurs
day. when the school held its an
nual May music festival, with all
music clubs and organizations in
the school participating. There was
no admission charge, but the audi
ence was given an opportunity to
make contributions to the symphony
orchestra, and the $40 was the re
sult. Miss Mary Minge Wilkens,
music teacher at the school, also
spoke briefly in making the presen
tation.
A delegation of five girls from
Trinity College also came to the
Dollar Club yesterday to leave their
dollar bills and express the hope
that Dr. Kindler, who visited the
school twice this year, would be
able to come again. The girls were
Miss Joan McTague, president of
the senior class; Miss Betty Cleary,
Miss Pauline McNamara, Miss

Repairing • Renovizing • Modernizing Homes
The Home Is What
the House Makes It
That.endorses The Eberly Plan as
a most important civic factor. Make
the house up-to-date and you put living
upon a high plane of contentment. Those
things that distract from comfort and
convenience can easily be renewed and
overcome through renovizing and.
modernizing.
The doing may look formidably
expensive and intricate—but an Eberly
Plan Supervisor will soon dispel any
such notion. Under The Eberly Plan
you don’t have to enter into complex
dealings with a variety of crafts. ALL
the work will be done by The Eberly
workmen,, in the Eberly Plan way—
from minor repairing to major
modernizing. And it will ALL be done,
too, with only ONE moderate overhead;
and with ONE responsibility—OURS.
. Consider putting your home “in tune
with the times” through The Eberly
Plan—which.will, include financing
co-operation if desired.
Because I’ve got a lot of other
people to kill.”
Denor and Reinhardt said Mrs.
Verlaan also told them that “some
dead boy” had been communicating
with her and had been asking to
have her son join him.
