Press Association New Jersey Bike Season And Safety A bicycle rider should be re- garded as a danger signal to motorists, particularly if the rider is a child, declared Joseph Solimine, chairman of the Essex County Highway Safety Coordinating Committee today.

Music Festival By ANN MODERSOHN An almost full house witnessed the annual music festival at Millburn high school last Friday evening. One unusual thing about this year's festival was the transparent scrim behind which the Senior Chorus could be seen and heard singing- the "Nutcracker Suite." Painted by a committee from the art department, this scrim told the story of the "Nutcracker Suite" in effective pictures. In addition to the Senior Chorus, the Junior Chorus, Senior Girls' Octet, Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, and various soloists also performed. Among the soloists at the piano were Ethel Fern, Natalie Silverstein, and Wilhelm Goetz, a seventh grader, who played one of his own compositions as an encore. The Senior Chorus was accompanied, at different times, by dancing girls, a flutist, and a piccolo player. Since the festival included several different types of music, it was planned to appeal to people of widely different tastes. For those who like popular hits, there were songs from the show "Oklahoma". Fred Waring's arrangement of "I Dream of You" was also sung. Contrasted with this was a group of religious numbers. Many students who thought they didn't care > for classical music doubtlessly had their minds changed by the Senior Chorus's rendition of the "Nutcracker Suite". One number that seemed to appeal to everyone was "Madame Jeannette", a French song. The entire concert was under the direction of Gabriel Chiodo, who came to MiOburn this year from The Millburn £ Short Hills ITEM I South Jersey. Before the performance all the students who , participated in the concert presented him with a watch as a token of their appreciation. • Fourth Graders Write Book Two fourth grade students from Wyoming School, Eddie Hirsch and Bruce Nathan, have recently completed writing and illustrating a book entitled "District Commis- sioner" which was published with the aid. of their fathers. They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hinsch of 9 Roserale avenue ana Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nathan of Reeve circle. "District Commissioner" was written primarily by Eddie with editing and illustration by Robert. It took them three months of collaboration to complete the three stories about Woodinnick, a wooden mannequin actually owned by Eddie. They are now selling the book, which is written about and fox children, at twenty-five cents'a copy. Part of the proceeds are going to the Red Cross. There were 116 copies printed and the boys have so lar netted over $18 from sales. • • * • ' • • THE ORANGES and Maplewood Auxiliary of the Florence Short Hills School News May 16, 1950 The Short Hills Third Grade invited all parents to come to school May 10th and spend the morning.
