Enthusiastic Audience of 1000 Applauds Charles Stuart and Philharmonic Orchestra

(Continued from Page 1) pleasant and gracious, and is guaranteed to offend no one. It was conducted very efficiently by Bower Murphy, who is associated with Sister Mary Denise as the permanent conductor of the Barry College Little Symphony. Charles Stuart, the baritone soloist, made a real hit with Tuesday's audience. Although he sang the "Song to the Evening Star" from "Tannhauser" traditionally well, his real forte is light opera, and his subsequent numbers were received with enthusiasm. "Without a Song" - the baritone's delight and tour de force-went very well, as did the encores demanded by Mr. Stuart's public. For his first encore Mr. Stuart introduced a very lovely light song, "Golden Dreams" by Hugh Bryson, of Miami Springs. Mr. Bryson, who has not been musically active in South Florida, is a well-known song composer and has had many of his works published. This reviewer hopes that we will hear more of them. For his last encore Mr. Stuart sang the Yale "Whiffenpoof" song complete with "barber-shop" choral effects by five members of the orchestra: Messrs. Drake, Nichols, Biedron, Marks and Carney. Sung and dramatized well, it received prolonged applause. Oliver Washburn, who, as well as being conductor of the orchestra, is president of the Society and its general factotum, announced that the next concert in this series, the fourteenth, will be given on August 26th. The soloist has not as yet been selected. -ARS LATA.

GROUND CREWMEN DON'T TALK MUCH

Air Power is the bomber, the fighter, the transport. It's the pilot, the navigator, the bombardier, the gunner and many others. But supporting them all is the ground maintenance crew. An Air Force is only as good as the men who keep its planes in the air. We are proud to honor them on Air Force Day. Carl Spaatz Commanding General Army Air Forces Ground crewmen never did sound off about the job they did - about the tubing they fashioned to keep their "old lady" going, or the ingenious twist they gave a piece of wire to fill an emergency need. But all you had to do was take a look at their faces when the engines were sounding just right, when the take-off was smooth, or when "Bathless Bessie" finally rumbled in, racing against a dwindling gas supply. You knew how they felt. Today, in peacetime, the same kind of high-caliber men who sweated 'em out in England-in the sun-seared Pacific-in Africa-and in the mud and chill of Italy, are working quietly, efficiently, wherever you find your Air Forces. They are doing the job for the men who fly-and for you.
