Dial CA 3-2891 Music Season Reaches End With Recital Grant Johannesen brought Hagerstown Community Concert Association teason to a orilliant conclusion last evening it North Hagerstown High School, with a piano recital. Avoiding the excesses that many pianists adopt in an ef fort to be distinctive, the Am erican-born musician obviously aims at serving as a vehicle through which the composition can be bfought to the listener.

4s a result, he played Chopin with a welcome freedom from raking and accelerating, pro- rammed Ihe Debussy Child' and refused to make Franck's Prelude, Chorale and Fugue sound as flashy and melodramatic as it can become when played for virtuoso effect. Mr. Johannesen did some of his best work in the earliest oi the three piano sonatas Beethoven wrote in the key of minor. Although small in scale, it is a tricky work to perform, with its sudden contrasts and abrupt brevity of phrase. The pianist integrated it into a satisfying and coherent whole last night.

The final work on the pro gram was the sole concession to the more startling kind of piano- playing. It was the seventh sonata ot Prokofieff, which has a breathtaking final movemenl whose crashing chords aroused the most enthusiasm oi the evening among the audience. Not often performed, the work was written during World War Two, with a first movement thai seems to refer to the victory rhythm used as a wartime and a lovely second UIUB a lea 0 princi al theme er who understood the Word and SOU nris almost liks A sipnhpn desires of God," at funeral services in Zion Reformed Church Friday afternoon. Lancer Society Activities Continue Throughout Year The public bean about 'ihe Washington County Chapter of the American Cancer Society principally during this campaign month of April, but th'e work of the organization goes on all through the year, just as the disease strikes without letup, 12 months out of every year. William P.

Kreykenbohm; chairman of the board of directors of the American Cancer Society, gave reasons yesterday why nearly 750 laymen like him join physicians and scientists in the fight against the common enemy of cancer in this county. "Cancer is such a personal thing," he pointed out. "Women whose husbands are suffering from cancer assist in our fund drive. Men whose families are free from the disease help oat because' they want to keep the healthy people well. We know that if we keep fighting cancer, we'll finally arrive at the day when cancer has been beaten, just as the polio fight brought the discovery ot the Salk vaccine Since lay people can't diagnose or engage in surgery or attempt to isolate in test-tubes the cause of cancer, they adopt other ways in which they fight Ihe disease.

One major method is to provide finances for the work of the technically skilled cancer experts ajid scientists. Education also forms a major part of the work of the Washington County Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the chairman pointed out. For many years, the organization has Trees Planted By Children An appropriate Arbor Day program was given Friday at stressed the importance of ree- ognizlng symptoms of the disease in Its early stages, because the chance of recovery from cancer is much gtetef if action is taken before the disease has developed unimpeded. Movies are shown In schools that illustrate facts about cancer. Special screenings are also conducted for groups of women for self-examination procedures to detect cancer symptoms early.

Teachers receive literature about the disease for u'fce in the classroom. Then there is the Hltle-publi- cized assistance to the cancer patients themselves In this county. Mr. Kreykenbohm pointed out that it would be impossible for any agency to pay the total bills that are incurred in cancer treatment, because of the frequency with which the disease strikes ajid the expensive treatment required for advanced cases. However, donations lo the Washington County Cancer Society help to pay for certain types of assistance to patients who fall in between the extremes of the rich who can finance the bills themselves and the indigent who are treated at state expense.

About 70 patients were helped last year in this county by donations of medications. Xray therapy, transportation to Baltimore and overnight lodging where necessary for Ireatmenl there, and some 11,000 dressings. Even though untrained volun.
