12 The Statesman. Salem, Ore.. Sunday. Norwnber 30. 1947
Finnish Music
lanssen; Outstctnding Expert on
Sibelius Music, Directs Orchestra
By Maxlne Boxen
Lovers of Sibelius' music will find special enjoyment in Monday
night's concert of the Portland Symphony, under the Interesting con
ductor, Werner Janssen. The concert is set at 8:30 and is to be the
third in the newly reorganized orchestra's winter series.
jThe all-Sibelius program is to
be played J in commemoration " of
the Finnish composer's 82nd
birthday, t Janssen is especially
competent: to interpret his com
positions. He is known as a world
expert on the worKs of Sibelius.
The Finnish government knighted
him with the First Class Order
of the White Rose for conducting
-Sibelius' symphonies, a tribute of
appreciation of that government
for his interpretative excellence.
The program includes Sympho
ny No. 2 in D minor, "Swan of
Tuonela" ' with English horn solo
by Arnold Koblentz, and Tin
landia." Sunday afternoon concerts are
especially fine for the entire fam
ily. Salem parents would find it
profitable and pleasant to load
the family into the car, heading
north. With time out for dinner
en route, and attendance at the
concert at 4 o'clock, the party
would be home about 7 o'clock,
early enough for even the young
est members of the family. Solo
ist for December 14 will be Eu
gene Istomin, pianist.
Last Sunday we were surprised
at the comparatively large num
ber of seats available at the con
cert, which should have been a
sold-out house. While the center
section in both main floor and
balcony were well 'taken, the side
sections showed too many vacan
cies. .
Last week's program was ex
cellent and the young negro con
tralto Carol Brice a real treat
The orchestra programs are on
alternating Sunday afternoons
and Monday nights, the Sunday
afternoon concerts especially con
venient for out-of-town listeners.
The Delta Delta Delta almanac
will meet Monday night at the
Center street home of Mrs. Ralph
Campbell for a dessert supper at
7:30 o'clock. Assisting hostesses
will be Mesdames Walter Socol
ofsky, Charles Thompson, Robert
Hill and Ralph Mercer.

Mrs. Brand's Diary Reveals Action
On Her Part, Little From Others
(Editor's note: Justice James T. and Mrs. Brand expect to be horn pos
sibly within the next few weeks, it Is indicated in the following letter
written exclusively for The Statesman by the wife of the Oregon supreme
court judge who is on leave presiding over a military tribunal at Nuern
berg. Germany. Mrs. Brand entitled this letter "My Daze.")
Nov. 1. Put in for reservations
to come home between December
1 and December 3, an optimistic
gesture.
Nov. 2. High winds have blown
the leaves off the trees, exposing
the destruction and ruin that had
been partially hidden this sum
mer. Nov. S. Oregon apples at the
commissary. Prices of staples have
almost doubled.
Nov. 4. Opened the car door for
myself today. It's time to get back
into the work groove. I'm taking
it by easy stages. Tomorrow I'll
open the front gate unassisted!
Nov. S. Phoned the army pack
er!. They will come tomorrow.
Nov. 6. Phoned the army pack
ers. They will come tomorrow.
Nov. 7. Ditto! Went to the just
ice wives' luncheon. Everyone
complaining about the weather
especially the New Englanders!
Why should we, when we are
away from home, expect perpetual
spring?
Nov. 8: Packers promised to
come next Wednesday. Troops
from Italy are pouring in. The
commissary line-up is block
long. Coffee is rationed, two
pounds per week per family.
- Nov. 9. Went to see "Rigoletto."
The leads were good and the or
chestra excellent. Our Bavarian
friends had never seen pop-corn,
green peppers or egg plant. Pota
toes, onions and cabbages are
"the" vegetables.
Nov. 10. Beggars and peddlers
are on the increase; three or four
a day.
Nov. 11. Watched an impressive
parade from a chair in the review
ing stand. I shall remember it next
year when I am watching it from
the curb! Three honor guards, two
white and one colored, gave beau
tiful demonstrations of marching
and handling of arms. General
Huebner had to stand to receive
the salute. The rest of us re
mained seated, wrapped in our
blankets. One of the joys of in
significance! Nov. 12. The packers came.
"Surveyed" our goods. No excel
sior, can't pack. 7
Nov. 13. A beautiful dinner at
the French club as a farewell to
one of the presiding judges. Had
an especially good time. Sat be
side one of my favorite Justices.
his wife on the other side, so I
had his undivided attention!
Nov. 14. Chimney sweeps came.
riding up on bicycles, wearing tall
black hats,- and wound around and
around with flexible rods ending
in circular brushes like black sun
flowers. Cook and laundryman
hrd a row. Our sheets were re
turned in rags! From the few
words I understood I felt it was
well I couldn't translate any more.
Although I'm no longer young I'm
still innocent.
Nov. 15. Cold, driving rain.
Went to commissary, closed all
day. Went to PX (post exchange),
fresh out of all my needs.
Nov. 18.. Went to Bamberg
car trouble arrived at 3:30, mu
seum closes at 1:30. Saw a small
church with a magnificent high
altar which reached to the vaulted
ceiling. All the altars were
adorned with groups of white
plaster angels wearing golden
wings. The church had been re
cently re-decorated and everything
was clean, fresh and shining. Hun
dreds of huge white and gold
chrysanthemums adorned the side
altars. Went to the Grand Hotel
to dinner. The chicken tasted as
though it had been embalmed.
Nov. 17.. Bought an armload of
small yellow-bronze chrysanthe
mums from a push cart on the
opera square. Felt a bit greedy
buying so many when the Ger
man customers were buying only
a few apiece, but not greedy
enough to desist! -
