Radiant Vocalist Greeted
At Concert and Reception
By MARIAN LOWRY FISCHER
Crescendo club concluded its 1947-48 concert series ThurHnv
veiling with " something special" radiant Lucile Cumminffs.
Iramatic soprano of Radio City fame, "was home" to sing to home-
lolk. And a near capacity crowd'
Las on hand to greet and ac-
laim the charming singer
yhose career in music began in
Ealem.
The first two groups of songs,
ncluding several numbers in
erman, were especially pleas-
ng because of the opportunity
hey offered to present the va-
ied range, the richness of voice
nd the warmth of tone marking
ttliss Cummings' singing. Audi-
nce favorites in this group in
luded Dowland's old English
umber, "Come Again, Sweet
Love," and the Goethe Wolf
dumber, "In dem Schutten mein
fer Locken."
For the third part of the pro-
Sram came the more dramatic
lumber of the evening, Wagner's
Aria "Elnsam in truban Tagen"
Elsa's Dream from Lohengrin.

li northwest concert pianist. Her
interpretative performance was
Ivarmly received last evening.
A group of French songs fol
lowed the intermission, and for
the final group several shorter
numbers highlighted by Scott's
liUllaoy," especially suited to
Miss Cumminffft' vnipe nnH n
North Carolina mountain song,
by Bartholomew.
The added five encores warm
ed the hearts, Miss Cummings
breaking away from the more
formalized program and playing
her" own accompaniment for
four of these numbers. The first
two were short, whimsical little
songs, one dedicated to all mo
thers with small sons, the other
to all red-headed, curly-haired
little boys. Following these she
sang "Sweetest Story Ever
Told," in dedication to her great
aunt, Mrs. Laura B. Noyes.
For the fourth encore, ac
companied by Mrs. Underwood
again, Miss Cummings sang the
old favorite Negro spiritual, "Oh
Lord I Want to Be," and as the
last number, "Only," playing her
own accompaniment.
Following the concert. Miss
Cummings and Mrs. Underwood
were feted at an informal recep
tion at the Bruce Spaulding
home, a large group of friends
calling to greet the musicians
and to extend best wishes to Miss
Cummings as she returns to the
east. She has received a call to
return to .Radio City, thus can-
ceiling plans for a further short
visit with her parents here. Only
recently she finished 13 weeks
at Radio City Music hall and had
made an album of wedding rec
ords for RCA Victor with Rich
ard Liebert playing organ ac
companiment. Crescendo club has had an
outstanding series this year and
patrons are enthusiastic in look
ing to next year's series with
special acclaim to Miss Lena
Belle Tartar, adviser and direc
tor'of music for this unique high
school musical group.
Any Prune Dishes?
Baltimore (IP) Know any
good recipes for prune dishes?
The Maryland department of
education has to serve 21,000
pounds of the dried fruit to
school kids in the next few
weeks, whether the youngsters
like it or not.
One of the department's offi
cials, Charles W. Sylvester, ex
plained the prunes were sent
here under terms of the federal
lunch-money program.
"Federal officials buy them
to keep them off the market,"
he said, "and we dish 'em
out."

Van Wieder Home
Has Fire Damage
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
Van Wieder at 885 North Sum
mer street was seriously dam
aged by fire early Friday morning.
The fire was discovered about
4 o'clock when Mrs. Van Wieder
awoke and noticed an odor of
smoke, and fire was discovered
in the attic. The fire was show
ing through the roof when fire
equipment arrived.
The fire started in the attic
which was used as a storage
room, and stored materials made
some difficulty for the firemen
who did not leave the scene un
til after daylight. Floors and
walls' in the upper part of the
house and the roof were dam
aged, and there was considerable
water damage in the lower part
of the house.
Cause of the fire is not defi
nitely known, but electrical wir
ing defect was suspected.
Wieder praised the fire de
partment for the way in which
it covered furniture and worked
fo prevent further damage.

Sears Estate Lands Sold,
Over 400 Acres in Deal
Announcement was made Friday of the sale of the extensive
valley floor farm lands and upland wooded highlands of some 415
acres known over the past 90 years as the J. K. Sears estate lands.
This tract lies Just four miles
road. This tract has a magnifl
eant view ot the valley.
C. W. Stuller, broker, on
Wallace road, Salem, handled
all matters connected with these
transactions.
Lebanon Home Burns -Lebanon,
Ore., Feb. 13 UJ9-
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Friday, February 13, 194813
northwest from Salem and
parallel to State Highway 221,
better known as Wallace road.
Michigan City road leading
from the Paul Wallace orchards
farm and the Singer Rose gar
dens bisects the 415 acres from
the east while Brush Col-lege-Zena
road forms the west
boundary for a long distance.
Sellers were Walter Earl
Sears and wife of Portland, Mr.
and Mrs. George Kinman of
California and Charles L. Wal
ker, insurance man of Hllls
boro. All were heirs of the J. K
Sears estate either directly or
through marriage, thus this is
the first time that any of the
property holdings has gone out
of the family name ownership.
Improvements Made
Buyers were Mr. and Mrs.
Willis A. Byers of Wallace road
and Lincoln communities and
Cecil W. Stuller, real estate op
erator of Salem and Wallace
road.
The Byers already own and
operate a large farm adjoining
the Sears farm lands. They have
already made a great many bet
terments in new fences, drain
age canals, clearing of land and
readying the cultivated valley
floors lands for cropping. This
new addition to their holdings
makes their aggregate acreage
well over 440 acres in all. They
get 320 acres of the Sears lands.
Mr. Stuller was deeded the
southern timbered upland end
of the tract amounting to some
87 acres. The valuable stand of
fir timber has been sold to the
West Salem Lumber company
of West Salem. This is rapidly
being converted into lumber in
their mills on Wallace road at
West Salem.
Since the tract is close to Sa
lem and West Salem, is served
by most Salem routes, power
lines and many roads and has
a commanding view over Salem
and its environs it is quite likely
that the tract will be subdivided
later when surveyed and clear
ed. Another Deal Announced
Another Polk county sale of
real estate in the West Salem
and Eola hills area was the dis
posal of the 20-acre Jay R
Nedry and wife country home
to Chief P. A. Raney and wife
of 1880 North 22nd street, Sa
lem. Raney is chief or com
manding officer of the navy re
cruiting service at Salem post
office. He is soon eligible for
retirement after a lifetime ser
vice in the U. S. navy.
The new Raney home is part
of the old James and Anna
Stewart estate lands embracing
the tract on which is located the
old Stewart mansion and out
buildings. Location is just a
few hundred yards east from
Popcorn school four miles west
from Salem on Orchard Heights
The four-room home of an el
derly couple, Mr. and Mrs. N. E.
Campbell, was destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon despite the
efforts of 20 volunteer firemen
to stop the blaze the cause of
which was undetermined.
