Tuesday's Organ Harvest Satisfies Musical Hungers
Powerful and soul - stirring music was played on the four manual organ in Jarman Hall. Tuesday night, by Virgil Fox. re crrding artist and organist of Riverside Church. New York City. A near-capacity crowd of students and citizens agreed about the only thing Mr. Fox didn’t bring to Farmville was t.he reverent and meditative s litude of a great church for his concert. Gleaning a varied field of music from the pens of Handel, Bach. Corelli. Brahms, Bossi, Sowerby. Reger, and Beethoven. Mr. F x made two substitutions m his program. He played Bach's Prelude and Fugue in D Major and Mendelssohn's Sonata in F Min r for Organ in place of list ed selections. Mr. Fox. who is one of the out standing United States concert organists, played his recital as the fourth program in the 1952-52 Artists Series of Ltmgwood Col lege. He gave another ccncert in Farmville. Oct. 20. 1951. when the organ, given to the college by Long wood Alumnae Association, was dedicated Mr. Fox's ability, feeling, and dexterity are married only slight ly by his showmanship, which is not altogether a stumbling block, but ii. also, endears him to his audience. Time after time, Tues day night's audience was capti- ! vated by t ie range, quality, and combinations of tones and har monies that Mr Fox harvested from the $25,000 organ, one of the most complete organs in Vir ginia.
Federal Taxpayers Slow With Filing Farmville Office Ready to Help Federal income tax returns are coming in slowly at the Farm ville office of tiie Collector of In ternal Revenue in the basement of Farmville Post Office. H S Whitaker, internal revenue agent, said. March 15th deadline is 37 daws off. Information received from the Richmond office reports the same story. "To date our office lias issued only 20.000 refunds against 43. 000 issued on the same date of last vear." Stuart L. Crenshaw, assistant director, of Richmond, reported last week. "This is due mainly to the fact that refund able returns have not been re ceived m tiie office to date." Mr. Cren haw remained people of this a lea through the Farm ville office that the Richmond of fice was geared to handle in ex cess of 10.000 refunds a day. Be cause of tiie small number of re turn' received, the office lias been handling less than 3000 per day. he said Because tiie Richmond of ficii lias handled only about 20. 000 refunds so far. it. means that about 530.000 remain to be pro cessed. “Naturally, if the taxpayers wait until a huge volume of re turns is received by this office, their refunds may be among the last to be i'sucd. which may mean that the taxpayers will not receive them until after May 1." Mr Crenshaw said. \ WOLAT RINKS TO *-’ACK DISTRICT 4 KKADKKS Farmville High School Wolve rines lay their 12-game undefeat ed record on the line Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night.
