The broadcast at that time, closing the doors of the Dollar Club, will be heard over Station WRC. Frank R. Jelleff, sponsor of the business and professional committee for the drive and a member of the National Symphony’s Board of Di- rectors, said on a broadcast from the Dollar Club yesterday that from 8 businessman’s point of view, it was a good idea to support the National Symphony Orchestra. He pointed Bondy to Go to Meetings Robert E. Bondy, Director of Wel- fare, yesterday was authorized by the District Commissioners to at- tend two conferences in the Midwest late this month. He will go to the Conference of State Welfare Ad- ministrations at Chicago May 22- 25; and to the National Conference of social work and associated groups, May 26-June 1, at Grand Rapids, Mich, out that the orchestra on tour is a | = fine advertisement for Washington. | i Workers in business, he added, should support the orchestra by || bringing to the Dollar Club ‘what | i they wished to contribute. Cherrington Cites Need. Now, more than any time in the || past, Washington needs the Nation- || al Symphony, Dr. Ben M. Cherring- | || ton, chief of the Division of Cul- tural Relations of the State Depart- ment, said during another Dollar Club program yesterday. “With the finest creative achieve- ments of man being blacked out in other parts of the world, we must not allow them to disappear through neglect over here,” he de- clared. Almost single handed, he went on, the National Symphony has lifted from Washington the stigms of being an y 1 city. “Symphony’ orchestras sre n made in a day,” he said. “In some way and against great odds Dr. Kindler has given to Washington in the short space of nine years.an orchestra which has become rec- ognized as one of the major sym- phonies in this country. This is & remarkable achievement and one not to be taken lightly. Nor is it probably that the people of Wash- ington do take it lightly or that they will let this orchestra expire.” School Gives $40. ‘Warren Graves represented the Gordon Junior High School in pre- senting to the Dollar Club a $40 gift from the school. The money, he explained, was raised last Thurs- day, when the school held its an- nual May music festival, with all music clubs and organizations in the school participating. There was no admission charge, but the audi- ence was given an opportunity to make contributions to the symphony orchestra, and the $40 was the re- sult. Miss Mary Minge Wilkens, music teacher at the school, also :‘p&ke briefly in making the presen- on. A delegation of five girls from Trinity College also came to the Dollar Club yesterday to leave their dollar bills and express the hope that Dr. Kindler, who visited the #chool twice this year, would be sble to come again. The girls were Miss Joan McTague, president of the senior class; Miss Betty Cleary, Miss Pauline McNamara, Miss Listento...630 K C NEWS BROADCASTS TODAY 12 (noon)—:l. R.
