Baldwin introduced in the Senate Friday a resolution authorizing the Senate Civil Service Committee to study the present efficiency rating system of the civil service system and determine whether it is worthwhile to continue the operation.

This was the Club's fortieth an-jniversary concert. It was also, its 1 127th public performance, counting 47 special events in which it has sung, in addition to its 80 regular subscription concerts. Perhaps of fondest Importance was the fact that the occasion was i dedicated to the Memory of Ralph L.

Baldwin who led the Club during its first three decades and i ho as probably the best-loved in choral music-making in I the city's history. Ten years ago Mr. Baldwin turned over the baton; to Marshall Secloy and last Mr. Seeley was rounding his miarter-century mark with the Chit). Ihiring the preceding .15 years before becoming conductor hp had been its accompanist.

Joint Holiday. i Helping The Chor al" Club celebrate these assorted milestones was The University Glee Club of New Haven, led by Marshall Bar-it holomevv. The combined singers numbered a brave 200 or more.

P. S. It was not. necessary to use the Bushnell amplifying system, and perhaps just to he on the safe side, carpenters should go over the auditorium today and nail the roof down tightly again. The program included many old favorites of Choral Club audiences I I 1 rwsfe' A so many complaints by cottagers of the earlier hour that the state changed it and it will remain "as is" at least for this season.

Sporting goods dealers have been enjoying record sales. Although the Chinese willow baskets! or creels are not considered on a I par with the Japanese creels, they have been selling well. Prices arej slightly higher.

A good woven bamboo creel hrings around $5 to! $6. Casting reels are not too num-' erous although trout reels are plentiful. There is some shortage of split bamboo rods, but dealers believe more are on the way from Asiatic sources. Wet flics, of course, are in demand for early fishing. A hook shortage has slowed no shipments of flics but there are still apparently enough for the trade.

"By the nature of the contract the teachers, of eours have a right to resign, since the clause does not indicate that this must bo by mutual consent. The shortage of teachers is so critical that replacement, even under normal circumstances, would he most difficult to obtain. Since this matter involves a current contract, and the issue is the cost-of-living adjustment, the solution is wholly in the hands of your public officials, including the teachers.

Zenltiii Performance. The singers themselves 'afforded performances full of zeal, resonance and strength. Their fortis-sirni were rousing and stirred the audiencr to immense enthusiasm. As often happens when two groups combine who are customarily led by different directors, the performances were not always entirely smooth due to divergent interpretations under which they have been rehearsed. A more serious fault, however, was the off-key singing which marred the "At-alanta" excerpt, "May Night" and "Music of The Spheres." But for the most part it was good, stimulating choral work, and such numbers as "High Bar-bary," "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones." "Railroad Bill."
