A new book titled Un- derstanding Musical In- struments is available at the Children’s Annex of the Back Mountain Memorial Library. The book is written by Jack music teachers, who try to help young people select a musical instrument. They describe the different orchestral instru- ments—as well as some not found in the orchestra—and then tell how each one is played. Useful lists of recordings which feature the individual instruments are included and the many illustrations show each instrument and the way it is held. Besides being a useful guide for the would-be musician, this book will be very useful as a reference for the study of musical instruments to both students and teachers. The two authors sensibly advocate a try-out period before buying an instrument and offer helpful hints and discuss music as a vocation and for en- joyment. This book has been placed in the Children’s © Annex in memory of Mary T. Helfrich. Another book about music by John Hawkinson and Martha Faulhaber is called Music and Instruments for Children to Make. This book is also on the memory shelf in memory of Ted Garner. There are many books about music for children, but this is a book for children about music. The distinction is a real one and reflects two different approaches to children and to music. This book is filled with musical experiences that lead to discoveries about music and its possibilities. The purpose of this book, then, is not to teach music to the young child; it is to let him find music as he becomes aware of his own everyday experiences with rhythm and sound, the materials of music.

Does it really matter if the groundhog sees his shadow Feb. 2? We have had such a mild winter (I may be sorry for that remark) that whether he sees it or not, it won’t make a dif- ference. Although the ground- hog isn’t always a reliable long- range weather forecaster, he is shrewd enough to spend winter the easy way. In the Fall, he eats like a hog and then snoozes until spring, living off his fat. The difference between the groundhog and people is that people usually don’t stop eating long enough to live off their fat. Dignified funerals that everyone can afford. HAROLD C. SNOWDON HAROLD C. SNOWDON, JR. RICHARD W.
