Symphonic Suite Features
Noises From City, Desert
Br JAMES BAAR
- Washington m If you
hink you hear coyote yowls
and train whistles, don't be
too sure: It may be music.
: In fact Hollywood's maes
tro Carmen Dragon, whose
-new symphonic auite "The
Sante Fe Trail" features a
.whole menagerie of real-life
irnoises, said today it may be
a trend despite what the
critics said. And what they
said wasn't good.
The National Symphony or-
chestra presented Dragon's
suite for the first time Satur--day
night. More than a third
of the 40-minute composition
Is made up of recorded noises
caused by chugging steam en
gines, chopping wood, falling
3 trees, desert wildlife, Chicago
traffic and a thunderstorm. A
chorus sings and gives Indian
war whoops. It got a big hand
from the audience.
"The audience liked it,"
-T Dragon sighed happily. "They
got the message. They got the
picture."
But the critics were another
thing. One noted the applause
was occasionally as loud as
the music. Another called the
whole affair a "miserable
" business."
The handsome wavy-haired
maestro, interviewed in his
C hotel suite, said he could un
STderstand how a critic used to
little more than' Beethoven
might have wished he were
elsewhere. But he said he per-
sonally felt "quite good"
about the premiere.
"The sound was superb," he
ald. "That thu nderstorm
f comes thorugh just like Gang
rr busters."
CT Dragon, who as conductor
was the chief music-and-noise
mtvAf mA name
when it was time for steam
locomotive noises and the
;tape didn't work.
"Fortunately we had a
.spare ready to go," he said.
VThe whole suite's on split
; second timing. If we miss, the
train would never get to the
station on time."
Dragon said he began col
lecting noises for his suite
three years ago. "I have.miles
and miles of them," he said.
"Plenty for a sequel. I'll call
It Santa Fe Suite No. 2."

Jet-Age
Valentines
in Fashion
Br MARGARETE RICHARDS
United Press Correspondent
Kansas City, Mo. fffl
Cupid supplements his bow-and-arrow
arsenal with a
rocket launcher this year, fir
ing supersonic missives to
commemorate St. Valentine's
day for those who like to have
their love expressed in jet-age
fashion.
The trend to bright and
snappy valentines with the
emphasis on light-hearted af
fection has hit a new peak,
according to a spokesman for
Hallmark Cards. These "con
temporary" greetings have a
flair that appeals to many
especially men who might
shun the traditional senti
mental cards, he added.
Any tongue-in-cheek Don
Juan, for example, would en
joy sending a card that shows
the happy husband crossing
the threshold, tie loosened, hat
in hand and mouth open pro
claiming, "It's Valentine's Day
. . ." Inside, the card asks,
". . . so what's for supper?"
His soulmate might retal
iate with a card that shows a
frumpy female in rhinestone-
studded housecoat, her hair in
curlers, who declares, "I'll be
your valentine . . . (inside)
if it won't ruin my reputa
tion!"
Such contemporary cards
have become the successors to
the often cruel, always insult
ing "slam" cards of past gen
erations. The humor of the
new greetings take various
good-natured directions.
One card shows a handsome
Miss holding a heart of gold
lace, and the cover reads, "A
valentine message to my girl
friend." Inside the message
reads, "Why couldn't you have
been a man?"
Another shows a boy of the
streets, his cap over his down
cast eyes, and a bunch of flow
ers in his hand. "To know
youse . . . (inside) is to love
youse," the card states.
Other cards in this category
rely on art work for most of
their impact. One impressive
greeting is a long, unfolding
card studded with crimson lip
prints and the single word,
"Smmmmmmack!" in gold.
New Jumbo
Another depicts a valentine
heart impaled on a fishing
lure barb, with the message,
"Hooked!" inside. On still an
other, a blowtorch Inscribes
a valentine heart in shimmer
ing flame, while the card an
nounces inside, "Still carrying
it . . . for you!"
Eye-catching In the contem
porary ueia are ine new
"jumbo" cards oversized
greetings that range up to a
foot and a half in length. One
mirth - provoker features a
massive houndlike dog on the
cover, his paws clasped across
his chest and his eyes twink
ling. "Thinking of you . . ."
is the message on the cover.
When the card is opened,
Rover is seated astride a cake
of ice and perspiration is
popping from his brow as he
seeks to cool himself with a
small fan that swishes back
and forth. Overcome by emo
tion and anticipation, he can
only say, "Whew!".

If Richard Lincoln hadn't disinherited his eldest son, per
haps American history would have been different. Residents
of Hingham, England, tell the story of how Richard Lincoln,
a rich landowner living in another part of England in 1615,
disinherited Edward and left his fortune to the children of
a later marriage. N
The embittered Edward moved to Hingham where his
children grew up in poverty. Seeking a better life, three
sons emigrated to America. One of them was Samuel Lin
coln, of whom Abraham Lincoln, great president of the
United States, was a direct descendant.
Residents of Hingham pay respect to Abraham Lincoln
on February 12, much the same as we do in America. In
1919 a bronze bust of Lincoln was donated by Americans
and placed in St. Andrew's church at Hingham.
, The bronze shows the traditional sad-faced man, a face
familiar to every school child in America, but in reality,
Lincoln is known to have had as deep a sense of comedy as
he did of tragedy and he was famous from one end of the
country to the other for his quips, jokes and humorous
stories. According to Richard Hanser in "The Laughing
Lincoln" (Saturday Review), his sense of humor was one of
Lincoln's most effective political tools, and he used them
to win arguments and drive home points. It is written that
he opposed the Mexican War, and when someone contended
it was not a war of aggression, he said it reminded him of
"the Illinois farmer who insisted, 'I ain't greedy 'bout land.
I only want what jines mine.' "
As president he was beset with office seekers. One dele
gation called on him in behalf of a deserving Republican
whom they wanted appointed Commissioner to the Sandwich
Islands, arguing that since the candidate was in bad health,
the salubrious climate of the islands would benefit him.
"Gentlemen,',' said President Lincoln. "I am sorry to say
that there are eight applicants for the place, and they are
all sicker than your man."
Author Hanser also writes that on the last day of Lin
coln's life he almost decided not to go to the theater. But it
had been advertised that he would attend "Our American
Cousin" in which Laura Keene'was to give her final per
formance, and "he did not wish to disappoint the people he
knew would turn out to see him. Besides, the play was a
comedy, after all, and he always looked forward to any
occasion that promised laughter." 1
Hameed A. Alhashmi, professor at Aligarh university in
India, gave an illuminating view of his country's attitude
toward love and marriage while visiting in Medford. He is
here on the foreign specialist program of International Edu
cation Exchange Service of the U.S. Department of State.
When young people marry in his country (this darkly
handsome man is a bachelor) they never even so much as
see a picture of each other until the wedding ceremony, Pro
fessor Alhashmi said. The marriage is entirely arranged by
the parents in the two families. , Hoewever, if the bride
groom's parents are progressive, they will approach him
through a younger sister who will ask him what type of girl
he prefers. Then the parents start their search and negotia
tions between the families of the bride and bridegroom
follow.
As proof that this is a satisfactory system, at least for
India, he cites the fact that in "practically all families"
divorce has not been known for 1300 years. That is true of
his family, Alhashmi said. Juvenile delinquency is also un
heard of.
However, romance is not ruled out. Prof. Alhashmi
proudly "points to the Taj Mahal a castle-like monument
built to mark the love an emperor of India had for his wife
who died before him.
"This man was all-powerful and could have had any
number of wives, but he had only this one who he dearly
loved. He never remarried after her death and built this
beautiful memorial. To go there is to catch the deep, delicate
feeling of romance.
ueiung DacK to tne practical, Froiessor Alhashmi com
mented that although a man
bride it really didn t make much difference anyway.
"After the first few days of thrills, marriage soon settles
down and the woman a man
