A rapid pas sage for strings and woodwinds concludes the work, which is developed with "amateur death traps," phrases and melodies that sound easy but are difficult to execute. Major Work The major work of Sunday's program will be the Mozart "Symphony No. 40 in G minor". Mr. Werner reminded his lis teners that this buoyant joyful music was composed at the end of Mozart's life, when he was sick, in debt, and out of favor with the church one of the mysteries of the creative mind. He composed his last three sym phonies, the 38th, 39th, and 40th in three months, and died soon after. The first movement, as illus trated by Mr. Pellegrini's play ing from the orchestral score, is an exposition of truly beautiful melodic themes introduced at the opening. Mr. Werner em phasized the building up of ten sion and expectation in the music in which skill Mozart excelled. "Andante," the heading for the second movement, means "to go," and move it does, with a virility and sparkle that contra dicts Mozart's lack of health and physical strength. The last movement is "bright music in a minor key" found often in Mo zart and in traditional Negro music. To Serve Coffee Intermission will follow the Mozart work on Sunday's pro gram, during which the Phil harmonic Society Guild will serve coffee, with Mrs. Milo Ku balek in charge of the table. The second half of the con cert will open with two Eligiac melodies for strings by Edward Grieg, "Heart Wounds," and "The Last Spring." These were played in their entirety by the pianist, with Mr. Werner calling attention to the melodic and harmonic skill of the composer. The "Henry VIII Suite Dances" of Edward German will follow. Mr. Werner's comments on this trio of compositins were directed toward their capturing of the spirit of Elizabethan England, for which accomplish ment German was knighted. The concert will close with Tschaikowsky's "Marche Slav", an example, Mr. Werner ex plained, of pure Slavic music, with an opening theme pulsat ing with the cry of a subjected people, and a contrasting one consisting of the stirring Rus sian national hymn. Typically beautiful Tschaikowsky melo dies round out the composition, with a brilliant coda bringing it to a close. The symphony coffee hours are sponsored by the Philhar monic Society guild, and pre cede each concert. The next one will be held prior to March 24, the date of the last concert cf the season. Those interested in attending are invited to call Mrs. Milp Kukalek, guild presi dent. Tickets for the concert Sun day may be purchased at the box office.

Mak.Tmpr Tantrums Pay Offl "When I blow my top," says Patty, 'I find myself saying tne awfulest things which I don't mean when I cool down!" "When I can't finish the work I planned," complains Jean, "I lose my head." "When I get tired," sighs Jill, "I argue at the drop of a hat." "I don't know why," cries Marie, "but John and I are al ways at each other's throats." To disagree in a marriage is normal. To disagree violently, constantly, and bitterly is abnor mal, destructive, and dangerous to the individual's own equili brium and the stability of the marriage. Direct your attention, advises Dr. Paul Popenoe of the Ameri can Institute of Family Relations at Los Angeles, to the difficulty, without non-e ssentials.

Check up on yourself peri odically to keep yourself in line." The American Institute of Family Relations counsels the many who come asking help in temperament difficulties: j 1. Keep in good physical shape by - avoiding fatigue. Get plenty of sleep. Build up your health and avoid alcohol. (Al cohol is the basis for countless arguments which need never have been.) 2. Limit yourself to the fea sible. Don't expect perfection in yourself or others. 3. Study other people and try to adjust to them instead of merely "expressing yourself." In other words, put your tem per on a rational basis. Disagree when you must, but do it logi cally, without senseless fire works and bloodshed. Let some thing constructive come from the disagreement, so that each argument will bring you closer to happiness and eventual understanding.

Phillips family, I'm ashamed I ever complain about anything. This young family of five from Los Gatos, Calif., is an extraordinary example of how to face misfortune and laugh through it. It was in late September, 1951, that things began to go wrong for David Phillips, 34, a United Airlines pilot, and his pretty, auburn-haired wife, Rosemary, 33. The youngest child, Lani Sue, now 7, came down with polio. Three weeks later, Mrs. Phillips also was stricken and paralyzed from the neck down. In a matter of days, the other children, Eu gene, now 14, and Tommy, nine, also were ill with polio. Polio was hardly news to the Phillips family. Rosemary's brother, Eugene Alison, became ill while he was a Navy pilot in Manila, shortly after Pearl Harbor. When the Japanese captured the city, he was removed from an iron lung and spent three and one-half helpless years in a prisoner of war camp at Bilibid, Manila. "How he survived is one of those miracles." said Mrs. Phil lips. Her brother is married, lives in Los Angeles and earns his living as a free-lance writer. His wife, Betty, also has had polio-stricken while she was helping to care for the Phillips family. Mrs. Phillips spent two years in a hospital, one of them in a ! respirator. Son Eugene was hos ! pitalized 14 months, Lani Sue, i five, and young Tommy, not at I all. ! Mother Honored I The Phillips are in Manhattan this week as guests of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Mrs. Phillips has been selected "Polio Mother of the year," and will act as honorary chairman of the national "Moth ers March on Polio" fund-raising campaign next week. .

'That means for weddings and funerals," said her husband, and the couple laughed together. Young Tommy now is study ing piano. His mother gives the lessons. Today, the medical and finan cial picture for the Phillips fam ily is much brighter. Doctors tell Mrs. Phillips she may never be completely well. "But they once told me I'd spend the rest of my life in an iron lung, too," she said. Still Paralyied She still is paralyzed through the waist, shoulders and arms, but confined to a wheel chair only when I tire." They recently moved into a new house, which Mrs. Phillips runs with part-time outside help and the assistance of the children when the school day is over. She and the children still need periodic muscular therapy treat ments. But son Eugene now plays football and takes flying lessons. I watched as Mrs. Phillips brushed Lani Sue's short bob. She seated the child at her feet. clutched a hairbrush between her toes, and deftly whipped the dark locks into place. "I still garden," .said Mrs. Phillips, "mostly with my feet." 'She has a green toe, laughed her husband. The plaque presented by the foundation Wednesday cited her and her family as "living re minders of the thousands of polio victims for whom the Salk vac cine, came too late . . . for her personal courage, inspiration, and faith."
