Gershwin himself played the piano. Dr. Damrosch had this to say, and I quote: "Various composers have been walking around jazz like a cat around a plate of hot soup, waiting for it to cool off, so that they could enjoy it without burn- ing their tongues, hitherto ac- customed only to the more tepid liquid distilled by cooks of the classical school. Lady Jazz, adorned with her intriguing rhythms, has danced her way around the world, even as far as the Eskimos in the north and the Polynesians of the South Sea Isles, But for all her travel and her sweeping popularity, she has encountered no knight who could lift her to a level that would en able her to be received as a res pectable member of the musical circles. George Gershwin seems to have accomplished this mir- acle. He has done boldly by dress- ing this extremely independent and up-to-date young lady in the classic garb of a concerto. Yet he has not detracted ome 'whit from her fascinating personality.

I think that Gershwin, had he lived, would have a problem. musically, the rest of his life. He would never have been ac- cepted in some music critic cir- cles. Some of them were always belittling his attempts at writing classical music but never-the- less I believe that his type of classical music will live a long time.

Then not used to the temper- ature or change I turned ill for some days and some neighbour brought me ice-cream to cheer me up and when the ants started climbing around in my kitchen the Simpson's delivery man showed me how to go after them. And when I could not buy clothes hangers in all Oakville, some lady in a furniture store brought me a whole bunch out of her own cupboard, and did not allow that I would pay her. Then once I washed very hard all the clothes dirtied on the journey and a lady came and al- lowed me to use her washing ma- chine. In the future, she did not want me to wash the hard way, the old-fashioned way--the way my washwoman at home had al- ways done it for me.

Perhaps her father or brother had been killed or im- prisoned in Germany or perhaps she (is Jewish and had to suffer directly or indirectly under the German persecution of Jews, or perhaps she herself had fled from Europe after some cruel "Nasi treatment." "Who knows," I explained to Peter, "what she had gone thro- ugh. Would you for example ever treat a Russian friendly after a Russian had killed me!" "No," he sald with a firm face.
