For 'l'h'u‘dn.y evening‘s (July 12) program, Leinsdorf has selectâ€" ed seven works. _ It was originalâ€" ly announced that he would preâ€" sent Arthur Benjamin‘s "Cotillon," but he has chosen to play in its place two semiâ€"popular numbers by the young American composer, Morton Gould. Thus "American Salute" and "Red Cavalry March" will have their first‘ Ravinia presâ€" entation. In his final concert of the week on Sunday afternoon, July 15, Leinsdorf will direct the orchestra in Beethoven‘s "Symphony No. 6" ; Martinu‘s "Memorial to Lidice"; "En Saga" by Sikelius; and Gershâ€" win‘s "Symphonic Picture ‘Porgy and Bess‘."

No. 19 Erich Leinsdorf came to Ameriâ€" ca in 1937 after he had establishâ€" ed a noteworthy European reputaâ€" tion. _ Born in Vienna, he was the first of his family to follow a musical career. Upon graduation from the Staats Akademie in Vienâ€" na, he set out for Salzburg, where he attracted the attention of Bruâ€" no Walter with his pianistic agiliâ€" ty. _ Walter engaged him to be his assistant at the Festivals. In America, Leinsdorf achieved phenomenal success in his first Metropolitan Opera season and was engaged by the San Francisco Opâ€" éra company. He remained in San Francisco until his appointment in 1943 as conductor of the Cleveland orchestra. _ His career was interâ€" rupted when he joined the U. S. return to civilian life last fall, he appeared as guest conductor with the Havana Philharmonic, the St. Louis Symphony orchestra, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Symâ€" phon‘y orchestra, returning to Cleveland to conduct, the final Mhoffinluugmol the Cleveland orchestra.

The guards are on duty for a half day only, coming on at 2:00 in the afternoon and remainâ€" ing until closing time. _ ,, â€" Efforts have beéen made to proâ€" vide full time guards and while on duty. It was then decided to use part time guards to provide protection for at least part of the day. It may interest the pubâ€" lic to know that the majority of guard prospects were nonâ€"resiâ€" dents. There were very few local applications and therefore it beâ€" came necessary to contact outsidâ€" ers if any protectionâ€"was to be afâ€" forded for the season. _‘ At the present time there is no attendant on duty in the bath house at the Central avenue beach. Efforts are being made to find a suitable person for this spot but to date there has been very little success along this line. No charge will be made for the use of the beaches so long as guard service only is maintained. In the event of the opening of the bath house at Central â€"avenue beach, then a system of fees will be inaugurated. . EXPERIENCED SALESMEN NEEDED BY CIVIL SERVICE The U. S.

Kiwanis Prepares for There was no formal meeting of the Kiwanis club last Monday night. The occasion was marked by a ball game and dinner at Sunâ€" set Valley club.

Year after year may pass without a single aphid appedring on tomatoes; hence, the situaâ€" tion right now is unusual; and; unfortunately, comes at a time when ‘certain preventives are. scarce. â€" ‘These aphids are sucking insects, and can only be killed by "contact‘ spray or dusting. . For this purpose, nicotine sulphate (Black Leaf 40) is the most effective weapon we have; but, toâ€" matoes are allergic to nicotine or tobacco in any form. Many commercial growers will not permit smoking around their toâ€" mato patches. r So, we are compelled to employ a second choice to eliminate aphids from our tomato plants â€" "Pyrethrum." This is genâ€" erally available in the dry form and is applied by dusting. Pyâ€" rethrum. however, is comparatively scarce, but "Pyrote" is availâ€" able in limited quantities. Pyrote is a liquid compound of Pyâ€" rethrum and Rotenone, and is very effective against aphids. It is applied by spraying. If, however, neither Pyrethrum nor Pyrote is available, if you can lay your hands on some "Red Arrow" (the prewar type â€"not the new syntheticâ€"read the label carefully), this will also do the job. _ _But, if none of these are available, then our choice lies beâ€" tween two evils: (a) spraying with "Black Leaf 40" or other nicotine sulphate and getting a reduced crop, or (b) letting the aphids kill our plants and getting no tomatoes. If you do use "Black Leaf 40" on your tomato plants, 1} teaspoonfuls pert gallon of water to which 1 oz. soap flakes has been added is Mildew on Roses: The same weather conditions that are bringing forth the black aphids on our tomato plants are also doing the same for the green aphids on our roses plus a terâ€" rific visitation of mildew. Not in the past ten years put together have we seen as much mildew on roses as this spring: Of course, aphids on roses are easy of elimination. . Just shoot the "Black Leaf 40" at them two evenings or early mornâ€" ings hand running, andâ€"no more aphidsâ€"until the next crop. Never spray or dust under strong sun or "burning" will result. But, this 1945 mildew was really getting the upper hand unâ€" til we dug upâ€"an old recipe; and it worked so well, we are glad to pass it along. ~ It is very simple and available. Take 1 teaâ€" spoonful of Chlorox (if not full strength, take 2 teaspoonsfalâ€" we did) and 1 ounce soap flakes per gallon of water; mix toâ€" gether and spray. Be sure to hit the under side of the leaves close to the ground. The following morning or evening, dust with sulphar. This will stop the mildew and blackspot as well. Be sure, however, to remove all infested folinge first, in ordert to eliminate the most active spoors. â€" Andâ€"cultivate thoroughly. Highland Park, IMlinois, Thursday, July S, 1945 By Enson K.
