Should Sewer Construction Be Financed By BondsOr By Assessment of Individual Property Owners?

An EditorialThere is an important principle of justice and fairness at the

An Owl

Spring is here again or - maybeit has passed! The Owl is neversure of his seasons here in Florida.With no snowdrifts to puncturethe seasonal changes, he is alwaysa bit hazy as to •whether he isabout to experience winter, orwhether he has just gone throughit. No snowy days; no frost-bites;no skidding autos; just a success-ion of weather that might be earlyspring or late in the fall.

The wintry scenes that have ap-peared recently in the newspapersof the north are convincing evi-dence that it must have been win-ter somewhere; but recollections ofsuccessive blooming periods ofCamellias, Azaleas, Flame Vine(not so good this year) as well asPowder Puffs, and various flowersthat have migrated here fromnorthern gardens (Roses, Salvias,Begonias and the like), all thesememories enhance confusion.

Other signs of spring will soonbe evident. The seasonal hotels willlock their front doors as their win-ter guests depart but will keep theback doors open for the men andwomen who will toil through thesummer months making the rooms

The birds and wild-fowl willfollow the tourists on theirnorthern flight; Topics will ceaseappearing in your mail box; theextra church service will be dis-continued and church members willbe more careful about attendance,for their absence will become in-creasingly obvious as the congre-gation shrinks.

The winter folk will be missed,and we natives (born or adopted)will wish for a return of theirfamiliar faces and genial com-panionship. On the other hand, wecan wear our old clothes oncemore; neckties and coats will betaboo; there will be no wild run-ning about in attendance at allsorts of meetings for mentalandspiritual uplift, nor straining ofmemories lest we overlook some-thing that we ought to be at or do.

We'll let down and vegetate -moderately. We'll work around theyai'cl in our most impossible cloth-ing, or without most of it, withoutglancing fearfully over our shoul-ders lest some well-dressed callercatch us unawares.

Those who have gone north willthink of us pityingly as they en-vision us prostrated by the heat,while in reality we will be sleep-ing blissfully at night fanned bycooling breezes. Also, we will readdispatches from the north regard-ing heated spells that run themercury up to heights rarely as-pired to by the thermometers ofWinter Park.

Yes, spring is here, and we shallbe nice and warm (possibly moreso) for many months. If he candig up the necessary funds eventhe Owl may wander up north fora brief visit. But he will be backin Winter Park when the blizzardsbegin to blizz in the north, and hewill never become confused re-garding seasons, when he notesthe mercury on the downward pathtoward zero.

ZINO FRANCESCATTIPLAYS SUPERBLY INCIVIC MUSIC CONCERT

The violin playing of ZinoFrancescatti reached artisticheights seldom attained on anyconcert stage when he played forthe vast pi vie Music audienceThursday night.

The moment Mr. Francescattidrew his bow across the stringsof his instrument, there was animpression of complete mastery,composure, and intense devotion tothe music. Throughout the pro-gram there was not a note slighted,not a phrase ended perfunctorily -and in the most difficult digitalpyrotechnics his tone was opulentand glistening.

It is a rare experience to heara Brahms Sonata played with suchsmoothness and graceful ease, yetsuch intensity of tone and concen-tration with the composer's musi-cal ideas. Here, communion be-tween the violinist and his ac-companist, the flawless ArthurBalsam, was prefection itself.

Those who heard Francescattiplay the Tchaikowsky Concertowith the New York Philharmoniclast season had already heard assatisfying an interpretation of thisTchaikowsky concert classic thatcan be heard anywhere today. Evenwithout the added grandeur of or-

chestral background, his playing ofit was magnificent, especially theexquisite Canzonetta movement onmuted strings.

Less gratifying to this reviewerwas the latter portion of the pro-gram which consisted entirely oflJaganini Caprices and Variations.To be sure, Francescatti's execu-tion of them was prodigious anddazzling, lilting and melodious, buthis nobler talents are somewhatwasted in music so tinseled and ex-hibitionist. By far the best thing1

on the program was the BrahmsSonata in A major which was aperformance of matchless beautyin every detail. —S. T.

He wrote in an editorial just20 years ago this "week:'"Quality before Quantity' has been

the slogan for Winter Park in thepast and it will be well to stickto it in the future. The presenceof Rollins College, with its familyof cultured faculty members, wouldtend to make any community be-come selective in its growth. Theearly residents of Winter Parkwere also patrons of the College,so that the community and theCollege have grown together.'Boom' days apparently did notupset the balance here and WinterPark is now unique among thewinter resort towns of Florida.Visitors from the other places arenot slow to note the differenceand tell us about it."

An interview with IrvingBacheller in the same issue,written by Marge Lockman,Edith Tadd Little's talenteddaughter said: "The man who isfamous throughout America aseditor, poet and novelist, says atthe age of seventy-four that he hasaccomplished more work in thepast year than in any like periodof time in his life because he choseWinter Park as his home seventeenyears ago.

Another March issue announces,"MRS. SCOLLARD TO DISCUSSYEATS:"

"The collected works of WilliamButler Yeats, who is consideredby Jessie Rittenhouse Scollard tobe the most important living poet,will be the subject of a talk byMrs. Scollard at the PoetrySociety of Florida at the home ofDr. and Mrs. John Martin Satur-day afternoon."

The following week's issue re-ported her talk and added, "Havingknown the poet personally, Mrs.Scollard gave a delightful vignetteof the man himself, and told ofa dinner given for him in NewYork some years ago by thePoetry Society of America, whichshe was largely instrumental inarranging."

On March 23rd, 1934, an inter-view with Corra Harris, the notedauthor who spent many wintershere, entitled, "CORRA HARRISSAYS YOU CAN'T TEACHWRITING," stated in part, "CorraHarris is an ardent disciple of theplan which Rollins College pursuesin the education of Americanyouth. "I believe it is the pioneereffort of a brave group ofteachers to reform and revitalizeeducation," she stated, "and thebravest among them is HamiltonHolt, a man who can portray thebeauty of courage, hope and faithin the lives of others; an impossi-ble thing to accomplish if he hadnot already achieved it in his ownlife.

The forerunner of today's TownHall Series was then called the"Annie Russell Series," and wasarranged by the actress herself.

Ray Stannard BakerWilson's Biographer

One of the attractions the winterof 1934 was the concert by Mine.Lea Luboshutz, the violin virtuosoof the Curtis Institute of Phila-delphia. She was accompanied atthe piano by her son BorisGoldowsky, now famed for hisopera broadcasts and directorshipof the Berkshire Opera School.Topics noted under the head "ASUPERB CONCERT" . . . "Theplaying of these two artists wassuperb technically and artisticallydemonstrated the infinite beautyof music in the hands of mastermusicians."

Another famous writer wholoved Winter Park was given awriteup in /Topics. Under the head-ing, "J. C. LINCOLN ASKS FOR'N.B,.A.' LAW' the article says,"There were two Lincoln Birth-days last week, Monday belong-ing to Abraham and Tuesday toJoseph C. (of the Cape Codstories), who gave his views onbirthdays to a large gathering offriends at the Virginia Inn'sValentine party, 'Mr. Lincoln saidhe felt a law should be passed pro-hibiting birthdays, - an N.B.A. forinstance, "No Birthdays Allowed.'"

Hannibal Spuare Libary, Bursting At The Seams,Seeks Contributions To Finance New Addition

In Hannibal Square, next to theCommunity House on West NewEngland Avenue, is a tiny build-ing scarcely larger than a play-house, with a label over the door,"The Hannibal Square Library."On entering it the visitor is wel-comed by the pleasant and efficientlibrarian, Mrs. Tabitha Ray, whois cataloguing piles of books be-fore putting them in place. Butwhere, you ask, will she put them,since the shelves are alreadyfilled?

This is the present problem, andthe only solution is an addition tothe -building, and the only way thiscan be done is through the gener-osity of the people of Winter Park.

Before 1987, the Negroes of thislocality had no access to books,but at that time, on the death ofMrs. Edwin O. Grover, her familyrequested that in place of flowersfriends would put their cost intoa fund to be used for the benefitof the Negroes of Winter Park.Mrs. Grover had been instrumentalin establishing the Colored DayNursery and was the chairman ofits Board.

It was decided to start a library,and in the course of time addition-al gifts made it possible to erecta small building. One plan forarousing public interest was de-vised by Rollins student membersof the Inter-racial Committee ofKnowles Chapel, A number of boyand girl couples visited selectedprospects asking each to contri-bute $50. Only one returned empty-handed, \

The new library was placed un-der the supervision of an organ-ization called "The HannibalSquare Associates," of which Dr.Grover was the president until

Besides adult readers the libraryserves high school pupils, especiallyfor' reference work in connectionwith their studies, and also thepupils of the adjacent ElementarySchool. Because of limited spacethe library does not attempt to pro-vide current fiction, but does tryto have in its collection adequatereference books such as diction-aries, encyclopedias, biographies,and literary classics.

Until recently the library waswoefully deficient in children'sbooks, for most of those on itsshelves were soiled and tattered,and there was no money to replacethem.

Fortunately, a gift in memory ofMiss Alice Blanchard has made itpossible to purchase a number ofchildren's books, which are beingselected by the librarian, assistedby Miss Ethel Wooster, formerly achildren's librarian in Bridgeport,Conn.

It can be readily seen that spaceis needed to accomodate the olderpupils using reference books andthe younger ones who come tobrowse among children's books.Also room is is needed for classesbrought by their teachers fromthe school nearby for the storyhour or to use the books undersupervision so that there may bedeveloped in them the habit ofreading. It goes without sayingthat what this country needs ismore intelligent citizens, and ourlibraries have a large responsi-bility in accomplishing this.

What the Hannibal SquareLibrary needs is more space andthe people of Winter Park are

SUBSCRIBER PENS TRIBUTETO ORCHESTRA CONDUCTORTo the Editor:

The recent concert of the NewYork Philharmonic Symphony inwhich Aaron Copland's "Appa-lachian Spring" followed Haydn'sfine Symphony No. 8; and thefine concert of our own FloridaSymphony Orchestra, when- theSatie compositions followed Mas-senet's "Overture to Phedre," areexcellent examples of how well"modern" music blends with olderscores when heard as an integralpart of a varied programme.

I am too ignorant of modernpainting to speak intelligently, butI can speak for poetry. Walt Whit-man, Robert Browning, Carl Sand-burg, T. S. Eliot, were all consid-ered strange, even revolutionary,at first but what glorious gifts weshould have lost had they neverwritten.

Those who heard Jim Fassett'sdescription, at the intermission ofa recent Sunday Philharmonicbroadcast, of the tragic state ofmusic in the countries behind theiron curtain, must feel anew pro-found thankfulness for the free-dom which enables artists of all

•.kinds in this country to fulfill theirduty to their generation, namelytheir responsibility to carry on theceaseless search for new forms oftruth and beauty.

Let us all stand enthusiasticallybehind M. Chardon, rejoicing in hisdiscriminating taste and his sensi-tive interpretations of these newforms, and let us ourselves be eag-er to grow through fuller knowl-edge into deeper appreciation ofwhat our own age brings us.

MISS ROBliE RECALLSOMAR EDITION GIVENAS WEDDING PRESENT

Miss Virginia Robie, professoremeritus of art at Rollins College,commenting- on the recent gift byJames W. Newton of a rare folioedition of the "Rubaiyat" to Dart-mouth College, as reported in theFeb. 26th issue of Winter ParkTopics, calls our attention to herreference of this same choice edi-tion in her new book of memoirsand family history. "Pennyroyal, a19th Century Chronicle."

Recently published in FortMyers, Fla., Miss Robie's work wasprivately printed in order to givethe young people of her largefamily "an idea of their interest-ing colonial and 19th centurybackground." In her book, MissRobie recounts that a copy of this1886 folio edition of the poems ofOmar, in the Fitzgerald version,was among the wedding presentsof Amy Marcy Cheney when shebecame the bride of Dr. H. H. A.Beach well known Boston physi-can. Of the circumstance MissRobie writes in "Pennyroyal":

"Aniong Amy Cheney's manywedding presents none seemed to.me so perfect as the folio"Rubaiyat" presented by OliverWendell Holmes, and having, inaddition to the poet's inscription,James Russell Lowell's lines onOmar in Holmes' handwriting."She added that the edition wascelebrated for the illustrations forOmar's quatrains by Elihu Vedder,whose master compositions wereshown separately at the largegalleries of the times.

Amy Cheney, a gifted composer,is remembered particularly for hermusical setting to Longfellow's"Rainy Day."

Miss Robie wrote that many per-sons familiar with the Omar

Khayyam literature are, however,unacquainted with the Lowell poemwhich she regards as one of thechoice jewels of its kind and in-cludes in her book, as follows:"These pearls of thought in Persian

gulfs were bred.Each softly lucent as a rounded

moon;The diver Omar plucked them from

their bed,Fitzgerald strung them on an

English thread.Fit rosary for a queen, in shape

and hue.When contemplation tells her

pensive beadsOf mortal thought, forever old and

new.Fit for a queen ? Why, surely then

for you!The moral? Where Doubt's eddies

toss and twirl.Faith's slender shallop till her

footing reel,Plunge, if you find not peace

beneath the whirl,Groping, you may, like Omar,

grasp a pearl."Miss Robie, who lives in Fort

Myers wrote us in a letterearlier in the season, "Mycheck for the season's subscrip-tion to Winter Park Topics is en-closed and once more I shall re-new old associations through itsgraphic pages. My seventeen happyyears in the art department ofRollins are vivid memories."

An Editorial{Continued from Page One)

where retired people of small, fixed income live, it is a real burden.Suppose, as in many cases, an owner has acquired an extra lot fortaxes during the depression years, a lot that he could never affordto buy at today's value, his assessment would be $500 - even thoughthe lot is empty.

In another case, a widow was left three very modest frameapartments when her husband died. Her assessment is $1000. Anotherwidow rents her 35 year-old, 5-room house with empty lot and uses therent to pay for a more modern home in another section of town. Herassessment is now $500 but it will be $750 because a new sewerwill soon be constructed past her present house.

There are many similar cases which show dramatically the in-justice of the individual assessment plan. Only by the Bond Issuemethod of financing may the sewer system of Winter Park bemodernized with a humane and democratic regard for the economicwelfare of our citizens. —S.T.
