THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNE ESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1942 Maestro Mitropoulos Terms Local Audience Most Receptive Chinese Prints Are On Display Old In Woodblocks Shown LibraryExhibition Examples of ancient art, over three centuries old, are among the exhibit of Chinese woodblock prints and illustrated books, now being shown in the first floor- display cases of the main library. The colorful collection was lent the, local institu- tion through the courtesy of Laur- ence Sickman, curator of Oriental art at the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art, Kansas City, Mo. This type of art work printing from wooden blocks, was practiced in Chi- na as early as the first and second century, A. D., and the collection on exhibition contains some of the best color block prints ever produced in China. The highly intricate works are printed from wooden blocks, one block being used for each color. The pigment is carefully printed onto the block by hand, and no two are alike. Among the examples sent from Kansas City for display are originals from both of the two most valued sets of block illustrated books, as well as later examples of the art in color and black and white, and are taken from the permanent collection of the Atkins Museum of Fine Arts in Kansas City. Pneumonia Cases Increase Threefold In Last Six Months Most striking item on the Health Service's monthly report is the three- fold increase in the number of pneu- monia cases treated in the last six months as compared to the same period the year before. The figures for the July-December period in 1941 reveals 60 cases while the 1940 record shows only 19 cases in the parallel period. Np significant reason can be found for this startling increase, but through the use of the new sulfanili- mide drug compounds the Health Service reports that all cases recov- ered fpr this last period. Russian War Relief Group To Ask Funds Soviet surgeons think they can do it again! At Lake Khassan in 1938 they restored 80 percent to service, and during the war with Finland 83 percent of the wounded were re- turned to active duty. "We can do it again," Prof. Nikolai Burdenko, Chief Surgeon of the Red Army, de-l clared, "If we can only obtain the1 necessary medical supplies." The Ann Arbor student division of the Russian War Relief Society is doing all they can to see that this surgeon lives up to his assertion.1 This committee is starting an all-l out fund drive Saturday on the cam- pus and throughout Ann Arbor. But as a preliminary to this city- wide campaign, a colorful Russian bazaar and auction will be held Sat- urday from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. and from 7:30 to 11:30 in the Grand, Rapids Room of the Michigan League. Many of the articles to be sold at the bazaar will reflect the spirit of Russian culture. Among these will be well-known books by Russian au-, thors, records by the Doi Cossacks' Choir, and a selection of Russian ob- jects of art. Modern-day articles will also be on sale and will include clothes, cosmetics and plastic jewel- ry. The committee asks the students to contribute more materials, so that the bazaar can be made more ex- pensive. In thea adjoining Kalamazoo Room the 7-11 Club is planning a festive dance. Here again, the mood will be Russian. The decorations, setting and entertainment, all will transmit the atmosphere of "Old Russia." A series of folk dances by a group of Ukrainian dances will be featured 1 on the program. "Vodka" (fruit punch) will furnish part of the re-l freshments. In the evening, Myron Dann, '43, will mount to a platform, rap for order, and an auction of some of the goods will start. This sale will com- mence at 9 p.m. in the room of the bazaar. The faculty advisers for the uni- versity student committee are giv- ing their assistance to this organiza- tion. This' board includes Prof. Stan- ley Dodge of the Geography Depart- ment, chairman; Mrs. William Clark Trow, secretary, and Prof. LeRoy Waterman of the Department of Ori- ental Languages, treasurer.

This question is answered by no less an authority than the famous conductor of the Minneapolis Sym- phony Orchestra himself. Mitropou- los, who will conduct in, Hill Audi- torium Peb,.3/ expressed his strong approval in a recent interview here. At the first mention of Ann Arbor, his somber face creased into a warm smile. Likes Ann Arbor "In all the places that we toured last. year, I never found an audience which was so receptive, so bounding with enthusiasm. I say it was a. dis- tinct pleasure to play in Ann Arbor because, truthfully, ;the audience at Ann Arbor was the most advanced that we encountered." At the time of the interview, Mi- tropoulos was at rehearsal with the New York Philharmoiic-Symphony Orchestra, with who he was appdar- ing -as guest conductor. % When asked for comment on thg progr'am he will present in Ann Ar- bor, Mitropoulos said that he was pleased with the selection of Brahms' Third Symphony in F major, the principal work scheduled. Succeeded Ormandy Composer, conductor, pianist, Mi- tropoulos has been conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra since 1937, when he succeeded Eugene Ormandy-no easy task. Maintain- ing a great tradition, the organiza- tion which he brings to Hill Audi- torium for the eighth Choral Union concert, is ranked as one of Ameri- ca's outstanding symphony orches- tras. He is also known for his playing of new and rarely heard pieces, in- cluding much chamber music. One of the most well known is his reading of the Beethoven quartet in C-sharp minor, Opus 132, which he has per- formed, augmented for string'orches- tra. In reference to this quartet, Mi- tropoulos declared, "I have not changed it or ;transcribed it; I have merely presented it for full strings in the hope that I might popularize it. In this way, more audiences can get an opportunity to hear one of the world's great pieces of music. Then, when they are acquainted with it, they can go back to the original four instruments and derive the greater appreciation." After discussing music at some length, the conductor turned once again back to the subject of Ann Arbor and the University. Once more there were glowing terms. "Yes," he repeated, "We all look forward to our return to Ann Arbor this year. A wonderful place." All of which should make some patron- izing alumnus puff up and say, "And a wondarul conductor!", o~3$ Volkb i 1 1' W Program For Student Purchase Of Defense Bonds Formulated. 40c until 5 p.m. 55c to close Features Daily: 2:00, 4:20, 6:45, 9:10 The minute-man, symbol of Amer- ica's birth in 1776, has reached for his flintlock again but with his exact aims and plans slightly confused in the minds of those he is guarding. Standing lookout duty in posters, stamps, bonds and advertisenents, he represents the American govern- ment's defense savings plan, first in- augurated as a postal savings pro- kram in 1935. University students, notorious for limited budgets, are primarily con- cerned with the program's Series E Bond. Bonds in this issue, selling for $18.75, mature in 10 years at $25. Larger Series E bonds, up to $1,000 in value, increase at the same rate. "Painless payment" on these bonds is offered through the postal savings stamp system, which sells stamps in denominations of $.10, $.25, $.50, $1 and $5. After buying a ten cent stamp, you are given an album mounting 50 of these stamps. The album, exchangeable for $5 worth of the larger sizes, is the first step in ac- cumulating a bond. On the purchase of a 50-cent stamp you are given a 75-stamp al- bum, worth $37.50 when filled and Romnmel To Speak Here "The Development of the German Reich from the Time of the Weimer Republic up to the Present Time" will be the subject of a talk by Prof. Heinrich Rommel of the economics department at St. Joseph College in West Hartford, Conn., at the annual meeting of the University of Michi- gan Club of Hartford, to be held to- morrow. $50 ten years later when the bond inatures.

Another question, but receiving more answers every day, is, "Where can defense stamps be bought?" The defense savings program has set up convenient Ann Arbor outlets with more promised for the immediate future. Local merchants will join the program under the motto of "Take Your Change In Defense Stamps." There is one aspect of the bond issue that requires no questions asked. The full faith and credit of the United States government is pledged for payment; of both prin- cipal and interest on these bonds.
