Plaudits for Salem Concert
- - i
By Maxlne Buren
Tba tUtenuua Music Edito
James Sample and the Portland Symphony orchestra received a
well deserved and enthusiastic Welcome Tuesday night in the first of
two concerts to be played here this season. The applause brought the
conductor back to the; stage many times and he responded with two
encores. !' '?.
Opening with the stately Concerto Crosso an D. minor by Vivaldi,
,tne orchestra piayea wim sympa
thetic response to the direction of
the conductor. '
The Beethoven Seventh sym
phony, considered by many critics
to be one of the composer's great
est works 1 was tha second, and
most pretentious piece of the eve
ning. The conductor took the or
chestra skilfully through the
lengthy introduction, followed by
the Capricious Vivace, and the my
thical Allegretto. The third move
ment was done with unusual feel
ing, and the finale with its rhyth
mic measures was accomplished
with enormous energy by the en
tire orchestra.
Cope land's Outdoor Overture
seemed well suited to the musical
group. It is definitely modern and
was well and pleasingly played.
Mr. Sample's selection of Grif-
fe's The Pleasure Dome of Kubla
Khan was f a happy one. It held a
fascination for the listeners, with
its foggy beginning, and gradual
rise to a climax and decline again
to the vague mystery suggestive
of the sacred river.
The final number, the Rumanian
Rhapsody! of Enesco, following
somewhatj the wildness of the pre
vious composition. It is melodic in
its rhythm, and headlong sweeps
were obviously a favorite with the
players.
Two encores, the beautiful and
every popular Blue Danube Waltz
and an amusing polka by Shosto
kovitch completed the concert but
did not satisfy the applauding au
dience which was appeased only
when thei conductor promised an
other visit in the spring.
The new orchestra under the
younger director James Sample
seems to have gained In assurance
and gives the appearance of pleas
ure in its playing. He Is a pleasant
appearing: man, with poise and as
suance and seems to have a knack
for getting fine music out of his
players. '

Gty Secondary
Schools Rated
Up to Standard
By Charles Ireland
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Salem's secondary schools have
been rated standard by the Ore
gon department of education.
Superintendent Frank B. Bennett
told members of the district
school board Tuesday night
The recently - completed sur
vey made several recommenda
tions for improvement but Ben
nett said hefelt very pleased"
with results rh general. Only two
ratings are returned by the group
standard or below standard.
Deficiency in lighting was not
ed throughout the I report, said
Bennett. Included In the survey
were Salem's high school and the
three Junior highs. i
The survey also noted over
loaded physical education classes
at Salem high school where
classes under one instructor run
up to 73 students.
At Leslie junior high the library
was found too small, the gym
nasium and band iroom Inade
quate. Board members remarked
that the Leslie building had been
planned fori 450 students. This
year it houses 7 00-pi us.
'At Parrish junior high the state
Inspectors recommended enlarg
ing gymnasium facilities. Install
ing "roll back" bleachers at both
ends of the playing court was dls
cussed. This would Increase floor
space and make room for at least
six more practice bankboards, said
Bennett.
West Salem junior high receiv
ed the most favorable report as
presented at the board meeting.
Only lighting deficiency was not'
ed there. I
Regarding a query from St
Mark's Lutheran church concern
ing the old Lincoln school site,
tha board decided It will retain
the property for the present as
a potential location for a new
school. It is located on South High
street near Bushs pasture.
The board decided to add a
teacher at Swegle elementary
school. The new Instructor will
eliminate "mixed' i classes there
which had students at different
grade levels in the same room.

Petitioners
Protest County
Garbage Dump
A petition protesting operations
at the Marion county garbage
dump at Macleay will be filed to
day with the county court
This action was announced
Tuesday by A. W. Sahli, a backer
of the petition which is signed
by 155 residents in the area.
The petition charges that the
present 4 5-acre dump was acquir
ed by Marion county without no
tice to the sellers of the county's
intent to use the property for
garbage disposal.
Residents say the dump has
caused adjoining land to deprect
ate in value. They also charge
that use of the dump by SUverton
residents is "improper".
"Macleay should not be required
to bear the burden of garbage
disposal for communities more
than 15 miles distant," the petition
states
The petition, which also allege
that the manner of operating- the
dump is not properly supervised
will be filed by Norman Winslow,
Salem attorney, Sahli said.
