Harrison Memorial library at the Rehabilitation center of Southern Fairfield County, 26 Palmer's Hill road, last week.

Dr. Oliver Slringficld. chairman of the medical board at the center, spoke briefly on the purpose of the library and about the late Dr. Francis M. Harrison whose "quiet leadership was felt not only in his profession but in the whole community." In 1944, Dr.

Harrison acted as a consultant to the organizers of the center and strongly urged such a service for residents of the Stamford area. He was elected chairman of the medical board at its inception and continued as chairman until his death in 1900.

Moussor gsky's "Great Gate of Kiev," which closed this group was given a rather labored performance, despite excellent percussion support. Its fragmentary construction was not clearly un derstood by these very young musicians, but this is a matter of maturity which time will soon rectify.

The matter was tabled at the last meeting of the Council when Independent party Council members raised a controversy over the proposed transfer.

The Independent party faction contended that the administration was attempting hide the blame for the bookkeeping procedures in connection with the overdraft from the special fund.

Copland's ballet "Rodeo" were next on the program, and the improved string work, especially of the violins, was particularly notable in "Saturday Night Waltz." the second selection, however, the audience's favorite and ours. The percussion section, so active in this number, seemed to make all the instrumentalists take heart, and the result was a splendid, dashing performance with truly "big orchestra" flavor.

The program concluded with the Allegro non troppo movement of Brahms' Symphony No. 2. It was conducted at mature tempi, and was played with good intensity, fine sense of the sweeping lines, and a competent mastery of the many rhythmic complexities. In conclusion, we should live to say that these two rapidly growing musical groups, their conductors, and their teachers are all ongaged in carefully presenting to the community programs of first-rate concert hall selections. The music, then, deserves the same kind of rcrpect- i ful attention from the audience I a the players bring to it.

It is most distressing to us that small i children run in and out and talk during these concerts, and that adults interrupt the proceedings by applauding between movements, and, sometimes, in the middle of numbers. Let us hope that in future concerts the players' families can demonstrate as much regard for the music as, presumably, they wish their children to cultivate with the funds al- the Board of Education to pro- located to it by the admimstra- vide seats in new buildings a the 'ion which has to borrow the 'expense of the old buildings it is One third of the electric bill is for lights, and the other two- thirds is for electrical appliances, a recent survey shows. money in the first place. THE EDUCATION heads las week voted to request the city to set aside 52,178,600 to expended for the construction new school buildings, repairs to present buildings and for othei capital projects. The Future Needs -committef of the School board had recom mended that 52,078,600 be sough which was 5100,000 less than the Board, itself approved.

When making its recommendations, the committee suggested that which was needed for improve ments in school buildings, con sidered sub-standard, be defer red until the following year be cause of the high priority de mand for pupil space. The wholi board however voted to adc $100.000 to the committee's recommendation for the repairs that should be accomplished dur ing the 1963-64 school year which starts, Sept. 1. We doubt and we expect tha the School board doubts that the city administration will provide the full amount of its requesl for capital funds. Of the total amount being requested, $1,775,000 is earmarked for either new building construction costs or architect's fees for new buildings.

The capital bug- pet money being asked by the Board for improvements-to present schools, not including those so-called sub-standard, amounts to $303,600. In this amount is $114,000 for renovation to tha Administration and Service Cen- the former Center junior lien school in Main street; $90.100 for completion of the athletic fields at Brien McMahon high school: $50,000 for completion of the all-purpose room of the Washington elementary school, (an old building to which some improvements were made last year); $10,000 for improvements to the Norwalk hich school athletic field; 515,000 For irchitect's fees for an addition the Brookside school; $15.000 For architect's, fees for an addition to the Nathan Hale junior high school and 59.600 to provide additional office space in Brien VIcMahon school and to make repairs to the house on the McMahon school tract. JUDGING FROM the capital mdget adopted by the school heads, they, like their commit- feel their first concern is providing seats for pupils. Re- airs to the old schools are apparently of secondary in South Formosa. The exercise is called Sky Soldier III.

The American unit taking part is the 2nd Airborne battle group of the 503rd Infantry stationed in Oki- or much more money would have been included in the budget for these expenditures. The committee listed repairs and improvements to old schools totaling 5670,500 during the 1964-65 year and $783,000 for the'1965-66 year. If those amounts will be required for repairs and improvements two and three years from now. it would seem likely that much more is needed immediately. For the last 15 years, the school population of the city has been on the increase and shows no signs 'of a let-up so that for years to a deceptive rationalization of the situation.

It makes no sense to us to be building new buildings while time and use are taking their toll on sub-standard buildings bringing them nearer to the period when the seats in the old buildings cannot be used.
