States Not the least of ho attractions nt autumn is the fart that in opens the tune when "things are going on." Things like the Symphony season, lor Instance, and the Opeia. To say nothing of other muical, social and theatrual events that enliven our Pittsburgh winter. Oppns Next Friday I think of thp Symphony because it opens its series of wppkly pi-ogiams next Friday night. Sometimes I wonder If Pittsburgho in sufficient numbers really appreciate their Symphony. A symphony orchestra's primary function of course Is to provide its listeners with music of a higher caliber than otherwise would tie available.

That function the Pittsburgh Symphony amply fulfills. But there are by-product. Probably no medium or institution In the city better advertises the cultural side of Pittsburgh. Through its annual tours It proves to thousands In other places i hat Pittsburgh produces more than steel. Appreciates flood Music The caliber of its conductor, Dr.

William Steinberg, proves tomusle-lovers the world over that Pittsburgh appreciates good music. Through recordings made under Dr. Steinberg's baton the music of our symphony becomes known to millions and some of the pleasure they derive must rub off on the name of the city that supports the ochestra.

See compefe riftitih nn rf tht Daily Mstin, -1 Pittsburgh admittedly does not carry the reputation of an ancient Athens for culture but as long as it has the Symphony it cannot be said to be without distinction. Indirectly Ihe Symphony makes if possible for gifted young Pittsburgh music stu-dents to receive instruction that without the Symphony would not be available. Distinguished members of the orchestra give lessons. If ihey were not employed by the Symphony they might not remain here.

Similarly, the orchestra forms a sort of pool of talent 10 be called on by the Opera and by the Civic Light opera. To the loyal supporters of the orchestra there is recurrent sadness In the fact that it is perennially hard up.

FOLK WE AVE ON MELLON 1 in? HATS FURNISHINGS puzzling mysteries. A right of ay crew of the Sun Oil Company's pipeline found the body, little more than bones and hair. Expensive Clothes The man was not of the homeless tramp type. He had expensive clothes heavy enough for winter and car. ried a field pack, as he planned more than oneday excursion In the woods.

Found beside the body was a Kemlnfton "72 1" rifle, SOOH calibre. This led many think the victim died or was killed during the deer hunting season last November. There was an almost new sleeping bag and a two-quart C.I style water canteen near the bones. One of the puzzling angles. Is that there are no unsolved missing persons in this area, or in the state police flies.

Ons Fired Shell There hav been no abandoned automobiles reported in more than a year. The fact the gun had on wnpty shell in the firing chamber and two loaded ones in the magazine led to a theory of accidental death or suicide. A Remington Arms representative yesterday studied the gun in an effort to trace it. A wallet found on the body contained money, but no papers. Two physicians and other experts of the state police are trying to form, from the remains, an idea of the age, size and other details of the man.
