Growing Pains

Since Topics closed its 1954season the first of last April andopened the current season lastweek, Winter Park has let nograss grow under its feet. Anamazing number of new houseshas been built, and an equallyamazing number of new familieshas set up housekeeping inthose selfsame houses. At thesame time, the new hospital hasforged along to completion, anda sewer, that some way had for-gotten to get itself built before-hand to serve the hospital, haskept the Palmer Avenue neigh-borhood in a state of upsetness.That area was messy so long thatsomeone suggested that the radioannounce e a c h morning thenames of streets that could bedriven over on that particularday!

The Mary Depugh NursingHome for the colored folk con-cluded its long struggle for abuilding fund, had its plans com-pleted, and began constructionon its lot at the corner of WestMorse Boulevard and Pennsyl-vania Avenue.

The two public libraries un-dertook (at the same time,though this was unknown to

each) to raise funds for additionsto the old and inadequate build-ings that now house them. Also,both plan their proposed exten-sions for special use of the chil-dren who are in increasing num-bers making use of the libraries'facilities. These two librarybuildings are located, as is cus-tomary in up-to-date cities, wherethey will be most accessible tothose using them. The Public Li-brary, on Interlachen Avenue, isin the heart of the city, whilethe Hannibal Square Library ison West New England Avenue,next door to the ElementarySchool for colored children, andnot too far from the new schoolon Webster Avenue, both ofwhich it serves, as it does alsothe entire Negro community.

Letters soliciting contributionsfor these new buildings, or rathernew additions, were sent outshortly before Christmas and of-ficers of the Hannibal Square Li-brary are in hopes that the sumof $5,000.00 (which they requirein order to claim existing pledgesthat will provide for immediateconstruction), will be receivedearly in January.

Announcement that a new $1,-000,000,00 hotel is to be erectedhere roused a flurry of mixedemotion. Some regretted the ap-pearance of a big city-type of ho-

Well, keep to your own opin-ion. The Owl would have pre-ferred a three or four story ho-tel in keeping with the characterof old Winter Park.

However, the builder of the ho-tel has shown excellent taste inthe design and management ofhis apartment building across thestreet, and the Owl has confi-dence in the outcome of his newventure.

Yes, he has a hunch that, fromthe standpoint of good design,this hotel will quite possiblytake the lead in the little groupof charming buildings whichhave long been a delight to theOwl. This includes Ray Greene'scharming "Greeneda Court" onPark Avenue, the Barbour Apart-ments on Knowles Avenue andthe Langford Apartments, al-ready mentioned.

memories of the charming littletown of Winter Park which hefirst saw on his initial visit toFlorida a couple of decades ago,and which has been his home forhalf that time. He settled herebecause of that intimate home-like charm, and he hates to see itgo. But after all, we can't beselfish. Others wish to share theatmosphere of Winter Park andthe only way to share it withthem is to let the town grow. Itstill remains a city of homes, andwe can only hope that the desirefor bigness and opulence will notswamp the spirit of friendlinessand comfort.

"Truth Is One" ReaderOutraged - No Footnotes!

(A letter to the editors)In my school days, we had a

physics textbook (science theycall it now) which led off witha definition of matter stating,"Matter is that which occupiesspace." It might have said "andtime", but this was pre-Einsteinphysics. Turning to Henry For-man's book we cannot get pastthe title without being con-fronted with the question, mucholder than Pilate, as to the na-ture of truth itself. Its definitionthrough the ages has provedmore elusive and more contro-versial than the definition of mat-ter, which the old physics bookdid not really define, it merelymade a statement useful for iden-tifying it.

And how may one make anypositive statement about truth, asto whether it is one, or two, orthree, without at least identify-ing it? Historically, truth- is thatwhich is thoroughly hated. Wecould start from here to illus-trate the oneness of truth in theteachings of the founders of thegreat religions. "O Jerusalem,Jerusalem, thou that killest theprophets and stonest them whichare sent unto thee" cried Jesus,reminding his people of the rec-ord in their own sacred books.And after the primitive Chris-tian Church came to power it toocontinued the pattern of hatredfor those who nersisted in tryingto bring the salt back into Chris-

tian practice. I suspect this hasbeen the pattern of human his-tory since the dawn of consci-ence, and might have been usedby Mr. Forman to shore up histhesis, However, the book ishighly interesting and chuck fullof significant facts all nicelysugar coated; and the picturesare wonderful for us children.But mercy on us, Professor! Ascholarly work like this withoutan index, a bibliography, or notesof reference? Just one example:Page 152, chapter on Judaism,"In their expulsion from Spain in1492, a dramatic writer repre-sents them as intoning the wordsof the crucified Jesus: Eli Eli,lama sabachthani . . . ". Whowas this dramatic writer who didnot know the Jews were intoningnot the words of Jesus on thecross but the words of one oftheir own songs, known to uswould-be Christians as the twen-ty-second Psalm of David? Someof us are mean enough to wishhis name had been exposed in afacetious footnote!—C. D. Pres-ton,

Large Audience Warmly Applauds New ConductorAs Florida Symphony Orchestra Opens 5th Season

The Florida's Symphony's firstconcert of the season last Fridaynight in Orlando Auditorium,gave further promise of a brightfuture for the four-year-old or-chestra. Under the firm and cap-able baton of Frank Miller, whomakes an impressive figure onstage and knows the music sothoroughly that he conducts en-tirely without score, the orches-tra gave a solid and professionalperformance.

It is worth noting that theplayers had rehearsed the diffi-cult program with their new con-ductor for only five days priorto the concert. This fact may ex-plain why a certain assuranceand spontaneity were missingFriday night. The orchestra hasgiven us exciting performancesbefore and, we feel sure, willagain if given time to recapturethe esprit de corps they have sowelL .demonstrated in the past.The concert was warmly receivedand won enthusiastic applausefrom the large audience.

But the pleasure the orchestragave began a little quietly, withall the musical elements nicelyin place but with a certain dashand style lacking. The "FlyingDutchman" overture was notquite so tempestuous as Mr. Hol-lander's program notes had ledus to expect. And in hearingsuch a familiar favorite as the"Scotch" Symphony of Mendels-sohn, one is always pleased to ex-perience a fresh interpretation oran extra vitality that make it amemorable performance. But itwas not until the final "allegrovivacissimo" that the orchestrabegan to play with real gustoand sparkle.

Following the intermission, the

charming, studied simplicity ofRavel's "Le Tombeau de Cou-perin," with its piquant orches-tration and subtle nuances, wasa pleasing contrast to "A Nighton Bald Mountain," by Moussorg-sky, which the orchestra inter-preted with some violence andfantasy but not quite enough sav-agery.

The most exciting moments ofthe evening came in the final se-lection, the "Capriccio Espagnol"of Rimsky-Korsakov. Here theorchestra was at its best andplayed with a dazzling facilityand fire, bringing forth an ova-tion from the appreciative audi-ence. — S.H.

Beveridge Webster GivesMasterly PerformanceAs Rollins Series Begins

Winter Park music loversheard a piano recital of rarequality and striking beauty whenBeveridge Webster opened theRollins Concert Series last Sun-day evening in the Annie RussellTheatre.

Mr, Webster is much morethan a fine pianist. He is a greatartist. His extraordinary com-mand of the instrument and hisintensely personal and imagina-tive interpretations are a joy tothe listener.

The lengthy Schumann Fanta-sie in C Major, which opened theprogramme, was alive through-out with color and variety. Thisromantic classic, perhaps thecomposer's greatest piano work,gave free rein to Mr. Webster'sreposeful, contemplative style,which effectively creates poeticalmoods. With equal skill his play-ing bursts forth into furious fire.The second section of the Pan-

tasie, which is ungainly and un-pianistic, was the only instancein which his execution was at allerratic.

The noisy "Piano Variations"of Aaron Copland, were an oddchoice for so sensitive a musi-cian but they did prove his ver-satility. The music is almost pureunadulterated percussion, withall beautiful sounds carefullyeliminated. This piece has agrotesque charm, "like a baboonin a fedora," as one critic of mod-ern music put it.

The Chopin Mazurka was nos-talgic and graceful while theEtude, too often played with drym e t r o n o m e preciseness, wasbreathtaking for its lightness andclarity.

Mr. Webster plays Debussywith utter mastery of the com-poser's characteristic fluid andcaressing style. The "RefletsDans L'Eau" has never beenplayed more captivatingly, norhas "L'Isle Joyeuse" with its cas-cades of rippling sounds.

Mr. Webster ended the printedprogram by re-creating "Petrou-chka," the poor, foolish puppetof the Russian legend immortal-ized in music by Stravinsky. Herethe pianist's feeling for the bi-zarre found inventive expressionas the frenzied, heavy-handedmusic, with its elusive strains ofmelody, taxed his every musicalresource.

The Concert Series thus op-ened auspiciously and must haveadded many new members to itsconstantly growing number ofsubscribers. — S, H.

Old Biblical Manuscripts And Historic BiblesOn Exhibition At Mills Library Until Jan. 27An opportunity not to be missed

by book lovers is the displaysponsored by the Rollins CollegeBook Department, of rare manu-scripts and historic Bibles to beseen at Mills Memorial Libraryuntil January 17th. Loaned byvarious collectors, the exhibitmay be seen each day from 9 to 5p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m.

Dr. Edwin O. Groyer, Professorof Books at the College since1926, has arranged the displayand many of the rare examplesare his property. Dr. Grover,who came to Rollins with Dr.Holt in 1925, has the rare qualityof enlivening each specimen. Ashe described their fascinating or-igins, we could better appreciatethe loving care of monasticcraftsmen who had illuminatedby hand on old vellum many ofthe early manuscripts.

Of particular interest is theChapel Bible used by the Collegefrom 1885 to 1932 until the open-ing of the Knowles Chapel. This

Bible, with signatures of earlyfounders, was formerly the prop-erty of the old CongregationalChurch, as was the old bell nowresting on the campus.

A high spot in the exhibit is asheet of Egyptian Papyrus (A.D.550). Also, a scroll of the Bookof Esther written in Hebrew onvellum (16th century). There aremany illuminated missals andbreviarys with all the delicatetracery of Persian, Hebrew andRoman artists.

A treasure for its intrinsicvalue and for the generositywhich gave it is a page from theGutenberg Bible, the' first bookever printed in movable type.Some years ago this page was of-fered to Dr. Grover who wishedto buy it but had no funds. Hediscussed the offer before hisclass with much regret. After theclass an enthusiastic studentasked for the prospectus andeventually made the purchasefrom his boyish savings. Thisyouthful booklover was HughMcKean, now president of 'theCollege.

A Bible printed in 1766 andpresented to the College by Dr.Kelly for whom Kelly Park isnamed, contains an amusing ref-^'•ence to the Expulsion fromEden and says, ", , . and theyknew their nakedness and madethem breeches out of leaves."This edition has since becomeknown as the "Breeches Bible."

The exhibit deserves the atten-tion of our local bibliophiles, andis a generous contribution to ourcultural life. In the few days ofthe exhibit remaining it is hopedthat many will avail themselvesof the rare opportunity of seeingit at firsthand.—Harold Bliven.

Fur Flies, Big Questions Remain MurkyIn "America's Town Meeting" Spain Debate

"America's Town Meeting,"one of the most highly-rated andjustly honored shows on radio,originated from the Winter ParkHigh School auditorium lastTuesday night, offering a debateon "Is Franco Spain a Depend-able Ally?", This initial presen-tation on Dorothy Lockhart'sTown Hall Series was the firstpublic debate on the subjectsince 1946.

Taking the positive side of theargument was Congressman JohnM. Vorys, Republican, of Ohio,who as a member of the HouseForeign Affairs Committee wentto Spain in connection withAmerican air bases there. The"con" side of the question wasstated by Mr. Lawrence A.. Perns-worth, N. Y. Times foreign cor-respondent, ten-year resident ofSpain, and author of two bookson that country.

After both Mr. Vorys and Mr.Fernsworth had formally statedtheir positions, they crossed

lances in earnest. CongressmanVorys, every inch the politico,seemed to have the edge on Mr.Fernsworth as a speaker, thoughnot necessarily as an intellect.

Both speakers made some tell-ing points, Mr. Vorys insistingthat in the struggle with Com-munism, America must make useof allies—especially strategicallyplaced allies—when and whereshe finds them, without being toofussy about their political philos-ophy; and Mr, Fernsworth insist-ing that, regardless of this the-sis, Spain is not a dependableally because of the innately im-moral and corrupt character ofthe Franco regime. Mr. Ferns-worth's thumbs-down on Spain asan ally seemed to be basedmainly on Franco's record as acollaborator with Hitler and Mus-solini, anti-democrat and liar.

On the other hand, Mr. Voryshad few arguments to buttresshis stand that Spain is a depend-able ally. Spain is Catholic andstrongly anti-Communist, saidVorys, and thus can be reliedupon to fight Russia; moreoverSpain's present government, hav-ing been in power for 19 years,is relatively stable. Franco, hesaid, has already chosen a like-

Mr. Vorys did not, however,e n t e r into a discussion ofwhether Spain would help try tostop Russian divisions if, withina few weeks of the beginning ofan allout war, they crushed thefledgling NATO army and surgedto the Channel and the Atlantic.

Although both speakers did aworkmanlike job in the shorttime allotted them, and answeredthe audience's questions fairlywell, one came away from the de-bate with the feeling that neitherMr. Vorys nor Mr. Fernsworthhad made a completely convinc-ing case. Perhaps the main rea-son was that neither debater ade-quately related the teapot-sizedSpanish tempest to the stormysea of troubles America faces to-day from Formosa to Paris.

The Rollins Players will pre-sent, beginning Tuesday, January25, Thornton Wilder's comedy,"The Skin of Our Teeth," whichis a fantastic tongue-in-cheekhistory of mankind.

This play will be the first Rol-lins effort to be directed by PeterDearing, the new director of theAnnie Russell Theatre.

In the cast will be Joari Jess-ings as Mrs. Antrobus, PeterAdams as Mr. Antrobus, andSally Huggard as Sabina, whichis the part created by TallulahBankhead in New York and Viv-ian Leigh in London.

The p r o d u c t i o n will runthrough Saturday, January 29th,commencing at 8:30 p.m. The boxoffice of the Annie Russell The-atre will be open from 2:00-5:00p.m. daily beginning January18th. Phone: 3-6401.

MODERN JAPANESE PRINTS(Continued from Page Eight)

Morse Gallery.Well-known in Japan is Ume-

taro Azechi, whose "Mountainsand Snow" may be seen; Seiho,who is represented by his "Housein the Trees", and the young Na-kagawa, whose "Flight" is oneof the more abstract pieces in theexhibit. Numerous examples ofthe work of Saito and Onchi, thetwo leading present-day Japan-ese masters, are also on view.

These prints are a striking de-parture from the traditional"lady fanning herself in the gar-den" type of Japanese art, andtogether comprise a pleasinglyvaried and truly remarkable col-lection. Reportedly there is noNew York dealer in modern Jap-anese prints; after seeing1 thesepictures, Winter Parkians maywell wonder why.

The Morse Gallery is opendaily free of charge from 2 to5 p.m.
