Jewelry Salesman Wounded, Robbed NEW YORK (UPD—Two gun men kidnaped a jewelry salesman on a 42nd Street curbstone today, put a bullet through his shoulder and robbed him of an estimated , 8250,000 worth of gems before [ shoving him out of their car. The salesman, Julius Furst, 48, .was not seriously hurt although the small caliber bullet went clear through his right shoulder. The two holdup men escaped , and were the object of a police search. 1 Furst, whose customers include many illustrious names in the theatrical world, said he left his Park Avenue home at 6:10 a.m. today and caught a taxicab to 42nd Street and 10th Avenue on the . West Side. He said he was standing on the . curb waiting a chance to cross the street when a car pulled up. The man opposite the driver pointed a gun at Furst and said, "Get In.” Furst got into the rear seat of the car. The man with the gun got into the back seat with him The gunman told Furst to “keep quiet” and the car pulled away. When they reached 25th Street, between 9th and 10th avenues, Furst tried to jump from the car. The gunman grabbed him and in the struggle fired a bullet through the salesman’s shoulder. The gunman took the case in which Furst had the jewelry and, when the auto came to a momentary halt, shoved the salesman to the pavement. Die auto roared off and the bleeding Furst staggered to a telephone to call police.

Stan Freeman Enthralls Audience Here Sunday

By Marlene Morin Ignoring the sweltering humidity, members of the Adams county civic music association crowded the Decatur Youth and Community Center for the long-awaited Stan Freeman concert Sunday afternoon and enjoyed every minute of a perfect “warm-weather” program. t Stan Freeman, one of America s foremost pianists and satirists, presented one of the most Mtertaining programs of the entfr®.ebncert series. A most personable man, a talented musician and a tremendously versatile pianist, Freeman was enthusiastically received by the local audience. The program consisted of two major groups—the first half including classical music and the second part his own inimitable brand of. satire and modern popular. After being treated to both types of entertainment, the listener is torn between the desire to hear more of his beautiful classic technique and to be amused by his satirical outlook on the music of modem America. The program opened with Veaudeville by Antonine Kammell, a bright little composition which was oiven an effervescent quality by Freeman’s fantastically light touch. A most moving interpretation of the tremendous Fantasie and Fugue in G Minor by Bach and transcribed for piano by Liszt followed. Freeman continued with Soaring from "Fantasy Pieces” by Schumann and then presented three Chopin numbers—Waltz in' F minor. Waltz in C Sharp Minor and Scherzo in B Flat Minor. In this Chopin group was his fine musicianship particularly evident. His beautiful touch, his equisite taste and restraint, were most apparent. There was nothing shalY"’ —o Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE Io Shrinking Material -7 To shrink dress material place it folded in a tub of cold water, to which a few handfuls of salt have been added. After a few hours, hang on the line without unfolding. The weight of-the water prevents wrinkles drying in, and the salt sets the color. Waterproof Wood To render wood waterproof soak it in a mixture consisting of 6 parts boracic acid, 5 parts ammonium chloride, 3 parts sodium borate, and 109 parts water. Pink Underwear The color of pink underwear may be restored by adding a few drops of mercurochrome to the rinse water. Beer Stains To remove beer stains from linens, soak them for five minutes in salt and cold water, and then pour a stream of boiling water, held at a height, through the stain until it disappears. Old Silks To renew old silks unfold them and put into a tub, covering with cold water. Allow to remain for an hour. Dip them up and down, but do not wring. Hang up to drain, and iron while very damp. Gilt Picture Frames To restore the brightness to gilt picture frames rub them- with a sponge moistened in turpentine. o — o Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE | o : o Q. When writing a letter of application for a position, should it be written by hand or typewritten? A. A typewritten letter of applcation is usually preferred. Unless, of course, you are answering an advertisement which specifies that letters be handwritten. Some firms base their initian interest on the applicants’ handwriting. Q. Is a godmother or godfather supposed to remember the child's birthday with a present each year? A. Not necessaily. A christening present is expected. But any other gifts beyond that depends upon how much you think of the child. Q. Is it proper for a woman to check her coat outside a restaurant dining room, or is she supposed to wear it to her table and drape it over her chair. A. This is a matter of preference; she may do either. Q. I have had several dates with a certain young man, and I think quite a lot of him. His birthday is near, and I am wondering if it would be proper for me to give him a gift? A. Properly, you should give this young man a gift only if you are engaged to him. Otherwise, a suitable card is the proper remembrance. .. , Q. When asked to cut the cards in a bridge game, is it proper to complete the cut by returning all the cards to one pile? ; A. Yes; this is the most courteous procedure. Q. In a double wedding, should each bride have her own maid-of-honor? A. Yes; although they may have the same bridesmaids. And, of course, each bridegroom has his own best man, too.

low nor overly-sentimental about Freeman’s Chopin. Following Fireworks by Debussy came three Gershwin preludes which gave a foretaste of Freeman's unique ability to feel completely at home in various idioms and particularly in the jazz idiom. The classical portion of the program closed with some interesting variations on Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltzes by Shulz-Evler, The second and almost hilarious part of the concert opened with a medley from “My Fair Lady” and a presentation of Maple Leaf Rag, one of the first jazz pieces to be written. Freeman called in a museum piece and the style, reminiscent of player-piano, was fun to listen to.“ - After a medley of Rodgers and Kammerstein tunes, Freeman continued with a kind of musical autobiography in which he gave brief imitations of various piano styles popular throughout the years. Then he really swung into his satirical forte with a long spoof on “trend” and “type" songs. He demonstrated his point with his own humorous versions of the state waltz, songs about summertime, the American, college song and the light, whimsical encores of serious vocalists. Another “I Ldve the piano” song was the springboard for imitations of various piano players—the party types, the child student and the adult correspondence school student. The official program ended on a serious note with the popular “Rhapsody in Blue” by Gershwin. Called back for an encore, Freeman decisively demonstrated his musicianship by improving a rhapsody using themes of compositions suggested by the audience. He managed to weave together such pieces as Getting to Know You, Stardust, Deep Purple, Ave Maria, Prelude in C minor by Rachmaninoff, When the Saints Go Marching In and others. The Freeman concert, which was the final one in the series, was open as a bonus to local residents who purchased memberships in the association for next year. The Complete schedule of concerts next year will be announced later. FREE!
