longed to the society since 1913,
said that in 1915 the organiza

were placed in the First Presby
terian church which stood under
the pines near the cemetery and
that they were moved to the
present church in 1926. The car
pet now in the church auditor
ium was purchased by the
society in 1928 from the Presby
terian church in Ashland.
The Missionary society has
had a program of mission study
and support of missionary
schools and hospitals.
It was then explained how the
present organization is associat
ed with the work of the local
church, the Presbyterian, the
synod and the General assembly.

ist of the orchestra. 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

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.

Polio-Stricken Family Brave
Under Avalanche of Misfortune
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) When I
meet people like the David W.
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. .

piano and pipe organ profes

'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."
