News About Jbww MISS DOROTHY C. NELSON, 1W N. Van Buren is among a group of more than 100 professional musicians attending the Fred Waring Music Work Shop at Delaware Water Gap, this week. Miss Nelson is vocal music supervisor for Freeport Public Schools. She directs the a capella choir at Freeport High School and the choir of St.

John United Church of Christ. The six-day concentrated course is taught by the same instructors who train the famous Waring Pennsylvanians and is personally headed by Fred Waring. We have our first report on the Broadway success "Once Upon a Mattress," a musical comedy based on the old story of the princess who could feel a single pea through many mattresses. The music is by Mary Rodgers, daughter of Richard Rodgers, who provided the music for all the Rodgers and Hart and Rodgers and Hammerstein hits. THE ARNOLD GLASOWS and daughter ELIZABETH were in New York to meet their daughter ANN.

who was returning on the Queen Elizabeth after a year's study in Salzburg, Austria. They spent a week in the city, including the Fourth of July. Mrs. Glasow said the musical show was "refreshing and imaginative" and Carol Burnett marvelously funny in it. They also recommended highly "Raisin in the Sun," the play by a young Chicago Negro writer which has only one white actor in the cast, and was tried out in Chicago before its big success on Broadway.

The Glasows said they had beautiful weather for their trip, both ways, driving on the Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania turn pikes. The weather held during all their time in New York, so there was fine visibility when they took the boat trip around Manhattan Island and went to the top of the Empire State Building. That was especially rewarding because they went up at night on the Fourth of July, and besides the fascinating pattern of flashing lights on all the highways running through the city and fanning out from it, they saw fireworks exploding on the horizon. A spirited debate in the House of Commons in Ottawa was one of the highlights of the recent trip to Canada made by MR. AND MRS, C.

Here they toured a new'hospital of 900 beds at Chicoutimi. Down the Saguenay River, Mrs. Fuller reports seeing breathtaking scenery: "One beautiful bay after another with huge cliffs on both sides." Parliament was in session when the Fullers were in Ottawa so they spent a whole day listening to a debate between Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Lester Pearson, leader of the opposition.

In Montreal, Mr. Fuller attended meetings of the National Federation of Financial Analysists Societies. With the group, he took side trips to power plants and manufacturing establishments. Mr. and Mrs.

Fuller came back through Vermont and on to Albany, N.Y. In Ventnor, N.J., a suburb of Atlantic City, they visited Mrs. Fuller's sister, Mrs. W. T.

Bew. They also took time out to do some fishing for flounder at Atlantic City and report that in an hour they caught 20 fish. Among the many birthday cards that came in the mail when MRS. JOHN ROSE, 425 N. Apple was celebrating her 87th birthday on July 6 was a letter which bore the gold letters, "The White House, Washington," in the upper lefthand corner.

Mrs. Rose was most thrilled and surprised to see that it was a greeting from Mrs. Eisenhower, which read: "I am delighted to send you my sincere congratulations as you celebrate your eighty-seventh birthday on July sixth. "Your Special Day observance will be another pleasant occasion to add to your collection of happy memories of the years, I am sure. Sincerely, "Mamie Doud Eisenhower.
