HE CONSIDERS an orchestra an instrument which a conductor plays The applause, he feels, is for his instrument. That is why he raises the orchestra ‘before he turns to the audience. Dr, Sevitzky only shares the appreciation the audience shows for the performance. On occasion he feels slightly embarrassed when the audience brings an artist out for two or three bows and on the last fails to take the performer off the stage with applause. DR.

Dishing the Dirt By Marguerite Smith
Q--What is the best way to store dahlia tubers over winter? I have tried different methods but: tubers dry#out considerably before spring. Mrs, W. EC : A--There is no best way. As one expert once told me, “The best way Is whatever way works for you"-—and so methods differ considerably. First, you need a cool storage spot, preferably not too dry. A root or potato cellar is ideal. For the average warm, dry basement, you'll find that leaving as much soil around the tubers as will cling to them helps prevent drying out. Then your problem is to protect them with soil, sand, vermiculite or whatever you can get easily to pack them in. Some amateurs have considerable

CAMP ATTERBURY, Nov. 6—Warrant Officer UG) Joe C. Tyler believes Hoosier women are among the country’s most inquisitive females. Mr. Tyler should know. As head of Camp Atterbury's Central Locator System he receives many calls from women who are double-
checking on things their soldie: boy friends have told them.
Mr. Tyler has set up one file alone for the nearly 400 Smiths who are stationed here. : It's a huge task to keep track A typical call goes something Of thousands of soldiers—and like this: it gets bigger every day.
“Could you tell me if Sgt. “Soldiers are always on the John Doe is married?” the move” Mr. Tyler said. “For sweet voice on the other end of Instance a man is assigned to the line will ask. a* unit at Camp Atterbury. Answering these calls, and Later, he may be. transferred

One of the most unusual requests Mr. Tyler ever received came from a Nebraska woman who wanted to locate her son.

“He apparently had told his girl friend he owned an expensive car and she was just checking up. We, of course, couldn't answer the girl's question.” An Indianapolis girl called recently and wanted to know how she could reach a soldier she had met. She wanted to invite him to her home for Sunday dinner. She knew only his name. “What rank is he?” Mr. Tyler asked. “Oh, I guess he's a private,” the girl answered. It turned out he was a second lieutenant, Mr. Tyler said.

These Americans say that the necessity of improving Turkey's easternmost roads will not arise until there is something more like equality in mechanization 3 between the Turks and the Russians. Until that point is reached it is to Turkey's defensive advantage to have bad roads on her side’ of this jittery frontier. Accordingly, Turkey's accent is upon horse cavalry and pack animals in the forward areas. However, behind the frontier zone, further west, roads are @ being improved with American financial and expert help. Behind the frontier zone, the roads represent lines of supply about which there can be no compromise if Turkey's formidable army is to be sustained in a Soviet pinch. ~ » ” HERE AT THE Trang# Hote! after a lunch eof HY and ~ i igen at Oana Nie uma ® ARMED BY RUSSIA?—These are the fierce=Kurds, of the Karakose field training warriors of Azerbaijan Province whose arming by the Soviet team.
