W ind Ensemble
Much Appreciated
By Nome Audience
The Wind Ensemble of the San
Francisco Symphony Orchestra
played Friday evening at the
Nome School auditorium to a most
appreciative audience which does
not often have the opportunity of
watching talented artists perform.
The varied and unusual pro
gram was colorful and both mod
ern and classic numbers will long
be remembered by those who
heard them. For many it was the
first time a wind ensemble had
been seen and heard at the same
time. Both the oboe and bassoon,
played by gifted performers, were
new instruments to many in the
audience and were particularly
enjoyed by members of the Nome
School band.
The members of the quintet
were Merrill Jordan, flute; Mer
rill Remington, Oboe, Frealon
Bibbins, clarinet; Raymond Ojeda,
bassoon; William Sabatini, French
horn.
The performance by these ar
tists, who gave the concert with
out remuneration, showed mas
tery of technique that comes with
experience, practice and profes
sional training. Although most of
the music was unfamiliar to the
audience, it was an enlightening
and enjoyable musical experience.
The group were generous with
their encores, playing a special j
number, “March of the Tin Sol- ■
diers,” for the Nome Band. “To a
Wild Rose” was particularly ap
preciated, from the enthusiasm of
the applause. Their rendition of
“Three Blind Mice” climaxed with
a little jive brought the concert to
an enjoyable close.
The response of the community
to this venture of Rotary Club in
bringing these outstanding artists
to Nome should encourage the
club to make plans to bring anoth
er program during the 55-56 sea
son.
In preparation for any future
program, plans should be made to
acquire new curtains for the stage
background, not only for visiting
artists but also for local programs.

East Europe Reds
Form Version of
NATO with Russia
WARSAW, UP!—The Soviet Union
and seven East European allies
established a unified military
command Saturday to rival the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion and made Soviet Marshal
Ivan Konev the supreme com
mander.
The eight allies signed a 20-year
mutual security and friendship
treaty and a protocol placing their
military forces under a single
command.
A summarized text of the agree
ment—outcome of a three-day
conference here—was read to re
porters by Soviet spokesmen after
the signing ceremony. They an
nounced Konev’s headquarters
will" be in Moscow. He is deputy
Soviet defense minister.
Deputy commanders will be the
defense ministers or other mili
tary leaders of the participating
nations—the Soviet Union, Czech
oslavakia, Poland, Hungary, Al
bania, Romania, Bulgaria and East
Germany.
(West European diplomats be
lieve the actual signing of the pact
in Warsaw does not change the
existing situation: the Soviets
have been in over-all command of
the military among their satellites
for some time. But the pact gives
the Russians a legal framework
under which Soviet troops can re
main in the satellite nations thru
individual treaties between the
U.S.S.R. and each satellite coun
try. Politically, the eastern Com
munist nations have been linked
thru the Cominform—the associa
tion dominated by the Soviet
Union.)
