Heckman, was so wise as to program at its spring concert Tuesday evening.

In all the years of this flourishing choral group, the first part of this program was the outstanding contribution. Thompson, the composer of this most beautiful setting of the prophecies of Isaiah, began ties career as winner the Prix Rome, some 25 years ago. Remaining in the Eternal City for two years, the American composer steeped himself in Gregorian and other liturgical music, as well as contemporary European masterworks. However, he was never content to be merely imitative, and out of his close association with the established traditions of European music, developed his individual style. No Distortion In "The Peaceable Kingdom," Thompson has listened to the prophet, suiting tonal color, melodic the text, never (as is the case with line, a balance of voices, entirely to too many musicians of foreing the words to bend, distorted, to serve the melodic line.

An auxiliary light plant and a smoke extractor already owned by fire department will be installed. The truck was purchased at a total cost of $5,048.65 in the fund matching program.

Civil Defense officials hope to encourage other communities to follow Rapid City's lead in obtaining the trucks for their areas. Gen. Theodore A. Arndt, South Dakota Civil Defense administrator, inspected the truck Chief Burdine Tuesday afternoon. To make the vehicle really effective the Civil Defense chief pointed out, Rapid City needs an emergency warning system.

Previously the board had decided to use incandescent lighting. However, Gordon Brooks, a representative of Lucas, Craig and Whitwam, local architectural firm employed by the district, presentfacts and which indicated fluorescent lighting is cheaper in long-range computations. Costs It was noted the initial cost of installing fluorescent lighting in regard to fixtures would be higher but since fewer circuits and smaller conduits would be needed compared to the incandescent system a saving could be effected over a period of years.

(AP) V. J. Lockett, superintendent of schools here 22 years, was given another three-year contract but he decided to resign. He sadi that since the vote was 4-1 for re-election he felt he didn't have the unanimous support of the school board. He pointed out the past 22 years he had been approved without a dissent.

quence of seven parts, the drama is deeply significant. color glows, purity of phrasing harTonal, mony become musical worship, the depths of apprehensive warning are sounded in poignant harmonies, and the climax grows to an ending of ecstatic triumph. The tenors, especially have most interesting melodic enrichment for the score. There is only one distressing thought in the gratitude which the city must feel toward a group who can and does sing such music: this magnificent cantata, so far as is known, is programmed only for this one time! It should be heard many, many times, for it is the voice of authority and of beauty, significant in the forefront of choral music. The chorus sang the work meaningfully and with fine tone, Brahms "The Peaceable Kingdom" was followed with the exquisite "Liebeslieder Waltzer" of Brahms, with the original piano duet accompaniment played Mrs.

Mildred Calhoon and Mrs. Zona White, who had accompanied "'The Peaceable Kingdom" on the piano and organ. The proved its skill in diversification, approaching the Brahms Waltzes with lightness and tonal; delicacy. The staccato phrases were piquant and lacy, and the entire eight waltzes chosen from the set. so charming that the audience was extremely sorry to have them end.

The post-intermission portion of the evening brought before the curtain Ben Knecht, baritone, who presented Massenet's famous and appealing aria, "Vision Fugitive" from then "De Glory by Wolf: and la program change). "Some Enchanted from "South Pacific." Mrs. White was at the piano. Knecht's ample and rich, was highly effective in all three numbers. Lighter The chorus continued with the evening's lighter fare: "The Spell of the Forest" by Rimsky-Korsakoff was an opener.

It was followed amusing interpreexcellent, tation of No John, which seemed to be too retarded for its highest effect, but was charmingly sung. nevertheless: "Rain the River' by Fox: "Nocturne" by Nobel Cain, in which the chorus achieved nice pianissimo effects; Carmichael's and "My Journey's End" by Tarr and Foster, which included a clear and vibrant solo by the Choral Club's new president, Paige Carlin, and was a splendid terminal piece. Seats in the high school auditorium were a bit more generally occupied than they have been of late for the several concerts which should have called forth houses. The central portions of balcony and downstairs pretty well filled. but there were too many empty spaces in the surrounding areas.

Those who attended this outstanding concert, however, expressed as vigorously as they could the privilege which they felt it to be, and the opinion was frequently heard in the lobby that the Rapid City Choral Club and Dr. Heckman had again given the community cause for pride and appreciation.

Ohio -Here's one for those who like to ponder the devious ways of bureaucracy: On a Dayton street corner stand two mail boxes, one sternly labeled "out of town mail" the other "local mail."

There been no budget provisions established so far but Sheriff Glenn Best said most of the cost will be for mileage expense connected with Civil Defense talks in outlying communities. Commissioners approved purchase of five county directories for courthouse use.

As the directories, now in preparation, cost $32 apiece, they will be shared by various offices.
