Friday Concert
Will Present
W ind Virtuosos
The Rotary Club promises that
the Wind Ensemble of the San
Francisco Symphony which will
present a concert here on Friday,
will prove remarkable both for
its variety and for the brilliance
of each of the internationally cele
brated artists who make up the
ensemble.
Our music lovers may look for
ward to an unusual experience of
hearing an ensemble and music
all too rarely heard—mainly for
the reason that mojt of the prom
inent wind virtuosos are connect
ed with major symphony orches
tras—and necessarily limit their
concert activities to the area of
their permanent residence. The
noted wind ensembles—those of
the New York Philharmonic, the
Boston Symphony, the Philadel
phia Orchestra and the San Fran
cisco Symphony—are hardly ever
heard outside of theiij respective
cities. The proud venture of the
Alaska Music Trail in bringing
this ensemble on its tour north is
therefore due, with grateful ac
knowledgement, to the cooperative
spirits of the artists in this dis
tinguished group.
The ensemble—founded and
launched in 1938 by Pierre Mon
teux, the famous conductor of the
San Francisco Symphony — is
composed at present of the follow
ing artists, all members of the
Symphony: Merrill Jordan (flute),
formerly with the National Sym
phony in Washington, D.C., and
Columbia Broadcasting Symphony
in New .York. Merrill Remington
(oboe), one of the outstanding
oboe players of the United States;
formerly oboe soloist with the
NBC Orchestra and Hollywood
Bowl Orchestra. Frealon Bibbins
(clarinet), has appeared as guest
soloist with the S.F. Symphony
and Sacramento Philharmonic Or
chestra, performs in numerous
chamber music recitals in the Bay
area. Raymond Ojeda (bassoon),
received his musical training at
the Juilliard School of Music in
New York and the Berkshire
Music Center, formerly with the
Buffalo Symphony. William Saba
tini (French horn), studied in i
Philadelphia, at the Curtis Schoolj
of Music, a World War II Air j
Force veteran, during the off
season in San Francisco returns
to Philadelphia and New York to
play and record with various
chamber and symphonic organiz
ations.
To insure sufficient seating, all
are urged to get their tickets in
advance if possible, from Rotar
ians, the Drug Store or von der
Heydt’s law office. A capacity
crowd is anticipated.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
A spring constellation now vis
ible in the southwestern sky is
Gemini and represents one of the
zodiacal constellations. It is in
Gemini that the sun is to be
found at the beginning of sum
mer.
The two bright stars making up
this constellation are called Cas
tor and Pollux, which according
to legend, were twin brothers of.
Helen of Troy who went on the
Argonautic expedition.
When a storm overtook the
vessel on its return voyage, Or
pheus invoked the aid of Apollo,
who caused two stars to' shine
and the storm immediately
ceased. It is for this reason that
Castor and Pollux became the
special deities of seamen and
their symbols are often on the
prows of vessels. “By the signs of
Gemini” was an expression heard
frequently among sailors of the
apcient world.
The planet Jupiter is now a
short distance below and to the

CAA Seeks Electronics
| Engineers for Expansion
Of Alaska Facilities
SEATTLE, (£>>—The Civil Aero
nautics Administration, which is
planning an immediate expansion
and modernization of its radio
communications facilities in Al
aska, is seeking to recruit elec
tronics engineers for the program.
G. A. West of the Alaska CAA
will interview engineers Monday
through Friday at the State Em
ployment Service office here.
West said the engineers will
spend most of their time in field
installation and survey work at
the many CAA stations in the
territory, from Ketchikan to
Nome.
There’s not enough food
for you and the bugs
As any backyard gardener knows, you have
a fight on your hands from the moment you
turn over your first spadeful of earth. At
every step, fungus growths, weeds and in
sects wait to destroy your lawns, trees,
plants, flowers. A disheartening struggle
for Greenthumbers ... a round-the-clock
fight for commercial farmers.
But, there’s a growing list of weapons
you can wield against bugs. Some of the
most effective have been developed by
Standard’s subsidiary, California Spray
Chemical Corporation. In 1907, we brought
out the first basic lead arsenate to stop the
codling moth, a fruit crop destroyer: later,
new-type summer and dormant oil sprays
that safely checked scale and other insects.
Other Standard research achievements
have been chemicals to kill aphis, mites,
thrips, and similar sucking insects... dusts
to destroy fungus diseases like rust, blight,
mildew . .. sprays and dusts custom-made
to knock out such enemies as the grasshop
per, boll weevil, hornworm. Other pest
killers boost milk production from our
dairy herds, help beef cattle fatten faster.
One good reason you live in the world’s
best-fed nation is because insect invaders
have been held back on our farms, ranches,
and orchards, thanks in part to Standard’s
constant hunt for new ways to make petro
leum do more things for you.
Standard plans ahead to serve you better
