Dopking in between a couple of "To Heck With the Judges" nights to make last month's competition picks. "No Heck This Time" Dop Getting off to a flying start on the Girl Scouting trail is a group of new Brownies in Crocker Highlands neighborhood, all of whom are just beginning second grade. Although many Brownie troops organize when members are in the third grade, and some even begin their Brownie days when they are fourth-graders, experienced leaders believe this youngest group, most of them 7 years old, stand at the best time in their lives to start a group experience. Adult Girl Scout workers find that most of the first year is spent in getting acquainted. Leaders need this time, they say, to understand individual girls' personalities and aptitudes, and thus to be prepared for more advanced Brownie and intermediate activities when the time for them arrives.

The program for younger Brownies includes crafts, hiking, cooking and service projects. However, the emphasis throughout their activities is on learning to share, to work, play and enjoy being together. The new Crocker group, which as yet has not received its troop number, met for the first time last week at the home of Mrs. William Smulyan, committee-member. Mrs.

William McWhinney is serving as leader, assisted by Mrs. David Sato. Brownies include Jeannie Ailing-ton, Jacalyn Atkin, Sharon Bloomberg, Judy Chapman, Julie Herman, Debbie Herrero, Lynn Kayler, Holly Kushman, Nancy McWhinney, Patsy Nelson, Mary Ellen Nottestad, Martha Peck, Debbie Richman, Beverly Sato, Wendy Simon, Nancy Wright, Debbie Smulyan, Gail Solon and Norma Stone. First meeting of the girls' mothers took place last spring, with Mrs. Marvin Blankstein, neighborhood troop organizer, assisting with preliminary planning and later helping with each step of "getting started." Mrs.

Louie Baldo is neighborhood chairman. Troop committee chairman is Mrs. Lawrence S. Simon. Her co-workers will be Mrs.

Robert Nelson, in charge of transportation; Mrs. Raymond Richman, telephoning; Mrs. Kenneth Atkin, refreshments; Mrs. James Peck, calendar sales, and Mrs. Smulyan, cookie sales.

Investiture is planned for the troop on Oct. 26, and the Brownies' time during intervening meetings will be spent in planning for it. "Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, through earth's sepulchers it ringeth man from the dust regained. Those were among the last words Jussi Bjoerling sang, in his last recording for RCA Victor before his death, of Verdi's Requiem with Fritz Reinet the Vienna Philhar-monldand Vienna Society of Friends of Music, to be released soon. As readers of the newspapers know, Bjoerling succumbed to a heart attack recently at his summer home in the Stockholm islands.

RCA Victor had just issued a top-grade 'Turandot" with Bjoerling in the tenor role, on mono and stereo, and surrounded by an epochal cast. Bjoerling, Nilsson, Tebaldi and Tozzi are no strangers to this area nor is Erich Leins-dorf, who conducts the Rome House orchestra and chorus. The supporting cast is less known here, except Alessio de Paolis, whose dry tenor from the emperor's throne comes over faintly, as it did in San Francisco. (Distance is a factor in the recording, as it was in War Memorial Opera House). This "Turandot" one of Bjoerling's finest performances which, with those of his distinguished colleagues, will serve as a magnificent memorial to a brilliant career.

The three disks are packed with a synopsis, libretto, a discussion by George Marek, and Richard Mohr's account of the recording sessions. 18th Ctntury Strings A "Bouquet of Tartini and Nardini Conceti', is plucked from the 18th century by Vanguard and Bach Guild, devotedly performed by the Vienna State Opera chamber orchestra under Jan Tomasow as violinist-conductor, with Anton Heiller at harpsichord.
