Dear Marian:
Mr, and Mrs. Walter Holts, of Uplands,
Calif., who lived in Salem for a number of
.years just prior to the second World War,
'have been Washington visitors this week.
'The Douglas Mrkays entertained at dinner
at the Shnreham one owning and at lunch
"eon at the Secretary's dining room during
a day when Mrs. MrKnv was giving the
.Holtses personally conducted tour ofMhc
.- District. The Holtses have been enjoying a
; leisurely trip through the east and headed
"t south to Florida for a visit before starting
-westward. The Holtses and McKays were
; "backyard neighbors" In Salem as the
'Holtses lived in the house subsequently
; occupied by the John llrakry 'family and
there was a great deal of Saiem visiting to

I Mr. and Mrs. William MrKlnney and their
daughter have been enjoyang the sights ol

lem public schools but has been on a nine
month study of marketing on fe'lowship
from the Ford Foundation. They have
. really had an opportunity to become famil
iar with eastern stales as his study has re
quired thcp to spend nearly a month in
each of several sections. Along the way
they have atopped in several of the nation

fin visit to the Department of the Interior
of special Interest. oThe yry excellent mu

Interior building had his close attention for
good portion of Ih0 morning when he had
planned to drop in to the office for just
quirk greeting.

Interior visitors, were also on the Same ear

for the limited group of persons who arc es

In yesterday's letter mention was made
of th New England house that had been
moved to Washington, and thero is another
such project, although not on such an elab
orate or complete scale, now under way. In
the Smithsonian Institution, a Colonial
home from Marlboro. Mats., is being re
built. The house is 277 years old as it dates
Irom 1(178. Stipped here by truckloads, the
weathered lumber, batteredshrirks, and rus
ty handfort:l nails are being reassembled.
Some substitutions are having to be made
in this rebuilt home, which keeps it from
the class of the more authentic "The Lin
dens," but it wiff be a close duplication of
the original dwelling. The exhibit will be
on the second floor of the Institution, and
will be open to visitors near the rgd of Uiis
year. Particularly interesting are the heavy
beamed, low ceilings barely ?ive and a half
feet abovehe floor level. 0 of the staff
of the museum pointed out that not only
was heat conservation as reason for the low
ceilings, but also that the stature of the
people in those days was less apparently. O

Carl Welnrich, noted organist appearing
in concert at the First Methodist church
this Sunday afternoon, has selected a pro
gram of organ masterpieces from the 17th
ccnturv to tho present day. To these he
has added novelties. Centering his recital
upon the unexcelled music of Johann Se
bastian Bach, Mr. Weinrich will play two
works based on hymn tunes, and tho favor
ite Toccata and Fugue in d minor, musifl
heard to brilliant advantage on the organ.
Thd achievements of the 18th century
Bach wen built on various powerful influ
ences of the 17th century. Mr. Weinrich
shows some of these inflflenccs in the first
part of his program. Bach's early works
were sparked by the rhapsodic imagination
of Buxtehude. He copied by hand music of
the Frenchman Couperin, in order to ttch
himself. The contrast of loud and soft dy
namics, so typical of music of the Baroque
period, will bt heard in a delightful Swre
linck echo-style composition.
Muss lovers often hear Scarlatti Sonatas
on the harpsichord or piano. They will an
ticipate their effect on the organ. Everyone
will enjoy the tinkle of Haydn's Pieces for
Mechanical Clock.
Mr. Weinrich includesohree notable com
positions in hia final group. There will be a
Sonata by the leading contemporary Ger
man composer, Hindrmith. The specialist
organ composer, Reger, will be represented
The program closes with a fugueehy the
