"We are presenting only duets and quartets; some of the most col orful and effective ones from the great stores of operatic liter ature. While excerpts from well loved operas make up the bulk of the program, offerings of an entirely different nature such as the 'Fuguing Tunes' by the 18th century American master Billings, will be presented. The 'tunes' are an outstanding exam ple of early sacred music." The soprano. Miss Stoska, is native of Worcester, Mass., and received her early training in Boston and New York. She made her operatic debut in Berlin. Miss Heidt, born in Detroit, Mich., began singing at the age of 14 as a church soloist and later sang with the Detroit Sym phony orchestra.

He served as a vocalist with the BBC before coming to Amer ica where he appeared in stage plays as well as singing. Russell made his operatic debut in 1942 with the New Opera company in Walter Damrosch's "The Opera Cloak." Mr. Walters also made his debut with the New York Opera company and in addition to sing ing with companies and over the air has concertized extensively from coast 'to coast.

ARMY HOSPITAL . DUTY WITH WACS Lt. Aida Ingraham, local Wac recruiting offiver, has recently been informed by headquarters of the Oregon recruiting district that women may now enlist in the medical department of the army as a Wac and specify one j of ten west coast general hos pitals, as the hospital of their choice. 'There is a pressing backlog of requisitions at the moment for Wac medical and surgical technicians," Lt. Ingraham said Saturday. "Any woman, age 20 to 49. may apply. Previous hos pital training is not. necessary. If you can qualify, the army will train you. Dental technicians, laboratory technicians, X - ray technicians and many other skills are needed also. Women with clerical aptitude should also apply, for each Wac unit will need several such women. "The army's goal is a unit of 100 Wacs to every thousand beds in - army general hospitals in this country. "Any woman who successfully completes her training in - an army technical school and her four weeks of on-the-job train ing will immediately receive the grade of technician, fifth grade. Not only are these Wac hospital jobs of infinite importance in war time, but they can lead to a career. Women trained in this kind of work will find medical, industrial and social fields for their skills in years to come. The experience gained from serving in army hospitals under wartime conditions is invaluable." Interested women may learn full details at the army recruit ing office in the Post Office building here.
