Daily Mail omen I HAGERSTOWN, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1964 Sunday evening's band concert at Hie Hagcrstown City Park was a very special one for it honored the memory of the beloved Dr. Peter Buys, who for 30 years served as the director of the Hagcrstown Municipal Band. A part of the evening's program centered around numbers composed by the "Dean of American Band Conductors" and some of his own personal favorites. However, a more tangible memory was a Pin Oak tree, planted to the south side of the Band Shell, by the members of the Hagerstown City Park Board and the citizens of Hagerstown to perpetuate his memory. A special ceremony, during which Ralph Buys, grandson of the famed bandmaster and composer, unveiled a plaque placed at the foot of the Irec, designating its history.

Claude Potterfield, chairman of the Park Board, served as master of ceremonies. After giving a brief history of Dr. Buys he called upon Mayor Winslow F. Burhans who spoke on behalf of the City ot Hagerstown, and its citizens, whom, he slated, "Remember wild pleasure and affection Dr. Buys and the music lie provided." "This is a Pin Oak tree," he continued; "that will grow (all and stately." Referring to the tall and stately trees that line Constitution Avenue in our nation's capital he said, "Here, standing in this park, will be a stalely Iree carying on the memory of Dr.

Buys, the respect this community had for him and his dedicated service." This was followed by spine tingling "Taps" played by Kenneth Slater, current leader of tho Municipal Band, with the echo coming from the background, and the benediction by the Reverend Ray Blansett. Kenneth B. Slater, current director of the llagerslown Municipal Band, left; Miss Dolte McGraw, who added a nostalgic touch as she sang Fritz Kreisler's "The Old which had been transposed for her voice by Dr. Buys and dedicated to her when she sang it previously at a Park concert; and William J. Dean, who plays the'trumpet in the band and has served as its president for ten years, are shown above following the concert that was especially memorable.

This is the fifth season for cigar smoking Conductor Slater, whose military bearing as he conducts brings back memories of Dr. Buys. Miss McGraw also sang the solo portions of "God of Our Fathers" the hymn for the evening, with John Sites as the cornet soloist, there was the "Rolarian March" dedicated lo Ihe local Rotary Club by Dr. Buys; "The Cavalier Overture" that was especially mellow; and the "Polonaise in played by the Trumpet Trio, Don Krelzer, William Krantz and Robert Green, with an encore, "Trumpet Tango" lr was a delight. Sousa's "By The Light of the Polar Star" was especially beautiful as was the beguine, "Blue In fact, there was much to please the audience and make the memorial to Dr.

Buys a very special one.

To the stirring foot tapping music young Dougie kept up a running "Da but he was dressed for the weather In his bunny-like headdress and suit. He laughed with glee as Ihe fantasie "Childhood Days" WES played, another of Dr. Buys' legacy to music, ns he included such familiar "Here We Go Round The Mulberry "London "Mary Had A Little "Hickory Dlckory Dock" and others.

Perhaps he wil! be a future member of the band and carry on a tradition that is unique to the City of Hagerstown, for where else can one go each Sunday evening and hear music such as this? e6 High on a hill just outside the little town of Stowe, Vermont, in the very which was home to the Trapp Family Singers during their twenty year American concert career, Maria Trapp herself, a tall, handsome woman now in her mid-fifties, is still lo be seen in the picturesque dirndl costume of her native land. She recently embarked on a new career as inn-keeper. The Trapp Family Lodge has become a favorite alike with winter sports enthusiasts who enjoy the famous i slopes of Mount Mansfield and summer seekers of the varied delights of a Vermont Green Mountain holiday. Along with lively Austrian folk dances in which the Baroness leads her guests on Saturday nights in the recreation hall, are meals served family style (as many helpings as one's appetite may crave after an invigorating day in the crisp, cool mountain air) at long tales in the Lodge's wood paneled dining room. The setting vividly recalls the region in which the a family's romantic story began.

For, along with hearty American fare, there are always several succulent specialties of old Austrian cookery prepared from ancient recipes handed down through generations of Trapps along with the Baronial title. "Wiener Schnitzel," fried to a golden brown and served with the traditional "Gurken- salat" or paper thin cucumbers in a vinegar, sour cream and fresh dill dressing, is always a favorite with Baroness' guests, as is "Shin- one of the many Austrian combinations of meat and noddle dough often accompanied by fine shredded cabbage cooked with crcam and caraway seeds. There is always a mouthwatering Austrian dessert to top off dinner perhaps "Kaiserschmarn" (Emperor's Crumbs, no less!) served warm from the pan with cinnamon and sugar; "Sacher- rich and chocolatey as it was served to Hapsburg princes at Vienna's famous cafe; "Salzburger the floating custard that used to delight visitors to the summer music festivals at Mozart's birthplace; or Maria Trapp's own particular favorite, "Zwetschkenknoedel," delicate little dumplings each concealing a tart, red plum inside a ball of dough light as a feather on an Alpenhut. The "Wiener Schnitzel" served by Maria at -the Trapp Family Lodge is prepared as follows: Wiener Schnitzel Cut the thinnest possible slices from a veal fillet. Dip them first in flour, then in the beaten yolks of one or two eggs to which salt and Vt tablespoon pepper have been added, and finally in fine white breadcrumbs.

Fry in sweet butter for only a few minutes, until just brown, then serve immediately on a hot dish with a garnish of lemon slices and capers. For Schinkenfleckerl a la Trapp, proceed as follows: Schinkenfleckerl On a pastry board spread two and fhree fourth cups of flour. Beat one egg lightly and add with salt and water to the flour, mixing well and working into an elastic dough. (More flour may be added if needed.) Roll this dough out on a floured board as thin as possible. Sprinkle with a little flour, let dry a little and cut into three quarter i squares.

Cook these from five to ten minutes in salted water, then drain and pour cold water over them. Beat cup of butter until creamy. Add the yolks of three eggs, one whole egg, a little salt, pound of chopped smoked pork or a a one cup of sour cream. Mix this together with the little squares of noodle dough. Then fold in the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs and pour the mixture into a greased oven proof dish.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and bake in a 350 degree oven for forty-five minutes. The Baroness' recipe Zwetschkenknoedel may also be used for Marillenknoedeln, in which case a whole apricot is used instead of a plum, the pit removed from the apricot and a lump of sugar instertcd to replace it.

WILLIAMSBURG, travelers who seek tranquil days and cultural evenings will find full measures of both during the coming weeks in historic Williamsburg.

September, when the youngsters return to school, opens the gates for a different brand of vacationer. They want to take their time, savoring a few days to a week in one spot, and they find the peaceful avenues and side streets of eighteenth century Williamsburg a perfect prescription for relaxation. In the daytime, seven famous exhibition buildings offer ample opportunities to mingle with the spirits of some of the nation's great patriots. King and Parliament is the most significant of these buildings. Others, however, also claim great moments.

Both Henry and Thomas Jefferson lived in Ihe old Governor's Palace, and visitors may tour the replica of that elegant mansion. George Washington planned the Yorktown campaign in the handsome brick home of George Wythe, and one can almost hear his voice in the halls. The first call for the historic Continental Congress was issued from the Raleigh Tavern. At the Brush Everard House, the visitor may imagine some of the problems confronting the eighteenth century mayor of Williamsburg who once lived there. At the Public Gaol, he may shiver with apprehension shown the cells where Blackbeard's pirates were imprisoned.

At the Public Magazjne, he can sniff the acrid smoke of gunpowder and imagine himself a member of the militia an army of citizen soldiers who drew their arms and ammunition there trouble was brewing. The fall visitor may stroll leisurely down Duke of Gloucester Street and enjoy a variety of examples of a lined colonial architecture. He will have an opportunity to look in on the bootmaker as he sews and seals his leather products; smell the lost aromas of sassafras, medicinal herbs and wintcrgrecn at the Apothecary Shop; watch the blacksmith hammer out an iron candlestand or andiron. lo the arts, these, too, will be in considerable evidence during the fall season.
