MUSICAL TRIO IS
ELECTION TREAT
Local Artists to
Appear Before
Clubwomen
A delightful and excellent musical program Is promised by Mrs.
Anthony L. "Ventner, chairman of
music, for the regular meeting of
the Woman's Club next Tuesday,
November 5, when Dorothy Paul,
Leona Gold and Robert N. Hilkert
will entertain the members with- an
afternoon of chamber music.
The program will consist of three
numbers;-;Trio -by Loelllet in B.
Minor, the Beethoven Trio, Opus
11, In B Flat Major, closing with
the sparkling Mendelssohn D
Minor. The Loelllet Is a very early
17th" century opus, the Beethoven
one of his works written especially
for chamber music performance,
and the Mendelssohn opens so gay
that no matter who wins the election members should be able to
face the returns with light heart.
.'Mrs. Paul is a graduate of the
Julllard Institute and later studied
under Stojowski. She is very active
as an accompanist and ensemble,
player and teacher.
Mrs. Gold studied at tbe Curtis
Institute and is now at the New
School of. M^islc where she is concentrating on chamber music under
Jascha Brodsky, first violin of the
Curtis Quartet. She is also a member of the first violin section of the
New Chamber Orchestra.
Mr. Hilkert Is a former pupil of
Alfred Zighero of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, and is now
studying with Orlando Cole, Cellist
of the Curtis Quartet.
It is urged that members be in
their seats promptly at two o'clock
both in courtesy to the artists and
so that not one lovely note will be
missed.
Hostesses will he Mra Carl de-
Moll and Mra D. Reed Geer. Mra
Dwight Cooley and Mra A. W.
Johnson will pour.
Kappas to Saw
The Kappa Kappa Gammas will
meet at the horn* of Mra. Milton H.

GARNET READY
FOR HOME GAME
Take on Glen-Nor
High To-Day
At 3:15 P.M.
A resolute and -etormlned
Swarthmore High School eleven
will meet the strong Glen-Nor
High team on their home field at
Rutgers avenue at 3:16 p.m. today.
The local eleven came through
their hard fought football game
with Sharon Hill last Saturday
bruised and physically sore but
otherwise in tip-top shape. The
team has every right to be proud
of the way it fought the Sharon
i Hill team during the entire game.
It demonstrated its ability and
spirit by the way it came from behind, tied the score at 6-6 and then
took the lead later at 13-12 only
to lose the game 19-13 by the spectacular forward pass play of the;
Sharon Hlllers. Local Swarthmore
rooters may have come away from
the.game with some questions ln
their mind about what appeared to
be weak officiating or perhaps a
feeling that the pass receivers of
the Sharon Hill eleven should have
been bottled up more thoroughly
but no one who watched the game
could have anything but respect
and admiration for the gallant,
hard driving, spirited and capable
exhibition the local boys produced
during the entire period of play-
It was a strong and experienced
team that defeated Swarthmore but
their victory was uncertain up until the .time the whistle blew ending the last play.
The defensive play of Storck at
center, Campbell at end and substitute Blake at right tackle is
worthy of special note, for time
after time these boys did a bang-up
job of'Stopping the swiftly" moving
"T" formation plays of their opponents. Harry Warren was a standout in the Swarthmore running attack and demonstrated that he has
the ability and spirit to rise to the
occasion when the opposition gets
tough, and tough it was. The passing combination of Huey to Patton
clicked at several critical moments
of the game and accounted for one
of the Garnets touchdowns. The
touchdown play was exceptionally
good, having superb timing and execution.
In today's game the Garnet's will
meet a Glen-Nor team that has
just come through with a well-
earned victory over Prospect Park.
It is a big strong team, with an attack that uses George Rodier on
sweeping end runs and a passing
combination that uses Spencer and
Forbes on the receiving end and
Dyson doing the major part of the
passing. The Glen-Nor team has
lost but one game and that to Sharon Hill. They will furnish Swarthmore High the toughest kind ot
opposition today and it will be a
full time job for the local eleven
to take them.
However Coach Robinson's, boys
led by Capt. McCowan have everything It takes to win ball games.
They are holding their heads high,
are disappointed but proud of what
they did against Shardn Hill and
are going into the game determined
to see Swarthmore High undefeated
in the remaining games of the 1946
MRS. MILLER HEADS
1946 SEAL SALE
Mra Harry L. Miller of Thayer
road will head the 1946 Christmas
Seal Sale Committee in Swarthmore

"\t is very gratifying that Mra

Swarthmore Seal Sale Committee,"
said Mrs. G. G. Levering, county
education director of the project.
"The success of the county campaign will depend upon the work
of the local committees." The local

volunteers to assist her.
Mrs. Levering continued, "Tuberculosis last year killed 106 people
in Delaware County. If the tuberculosis death rate is to be reduced'
and further spread of the disease
prevented, we must expand the
activities of the Tuberculosis Association."

Adult "education for World Affairs was the theme of the fall
meeting of the County Federation
of Women's Clubs on Thursday,
October 29, when the Springfield
and Rutledge "Women's Clubs were
co-hostesses with the Swarthmore
club here. Mrs. John H. Pitman was
in charge of arrangements and Mra
Win. A. DeCaindry of hospitality.
Twenty-four county officers were
entertained at luncheon by the
three groups.
Four dlv(sions of the educational
department of the Federation - U-
brary extension, radio, motion picture, and scholarship - presented-
phases of the problem. Mrs. "Wallace Savage, county educational
chairman, presided. A scholarship
report over the past 16 years was
especially interesting to the local
club, since it not only contributes
to the county fund, but also maintains the Bonsall Memorial Fund
for scholarship loans.
-During the afternoon session
Mra Edward R. S. Tull; Jr., County,
president, received the County
President's pin from Mrs. Harold
