- . ------~ -- - _.. -- Pa Friday, November 24, 1972 Noted Violinist To Play For Concert on Nov. 30 Pinchas Zukennan, a brilliant young violinist and member of the famed Daniel Barenboim- Jaqueline Du Pre-Zukennan trio, will perform here for the second concert of the China Lake Civic Concert Association's 1972-73 season next Thursday, Nov. 30, at the Center Theater. Some $14 and $12 season tickets are still available, but the $17 section has been sold out for several weeks. Single perfonnance admission tickets for next week's program will be on sale prior to concert time at the theater box office. They are priced at $5 for adults and $1.50 for students and enlisted military personnel. Zukennan has scheduled an ambitious program for local concerlgoers.

In 1961, Isaac Stern and Pablo Casals, then appearing at the First Festival of Music in larael, heard Zukennan play and recommended that he have the opportunity for advanced study in the United States. Stern remarked, "In 20 years of listening to young violinists, I have rarely heard as richly promising a talent as Pin- chas Zukennan." The young musician entered Julliard (N.Y.), with the Foun- dation's continued assistance, and studied under the renowned Ivan Galamian. Further scholarships came his way from Julliard and the Helena Rubenstein Foun- dation, so he continued his studies until 1966, when he returned to larael for a reunion with his parents. He won first prize in the 25th Leventritt International Com- petition in 1967 and since that time he has been on the concert trail, performing in most of the major capitals of the United States and Canada. "The "Sonata in A Major," by Cesar Franck has been scheduled to round out the first half of the concert. Zukennan will perform the allegretto ben moderato, allegro, recitativo-fantasia and allegretto poco mosso movements from the Franck piece. This season, Zukerman will appear not only in 30 cities in North America, but also in Europe and larael. Pinchas Zukerman, Concert Violinist Following an intermission, the famed violinist will present Paul Hindemith's "Sonata in E Flat Major," Opus 11, No.1, and be will close the evening's entertainment with six arrangements by Fritz Kreisler - "Tempo di Minuetto," "Allegretto, in the Style of Boc- cherini," "Scherzo," "Policb- inelle," Liebeslied" and "Liebes- freud."

A profit of more than $8,000 was realized by the 1972 Desert Empire Fair (staged Sept. 13 to 17), ac- cording to a report presented last week to the fair's board of direc- tors by Bell Sidney, treasurer. Not included in this sum, Mrs. Sidney said, is money that was brought in during the past year by the sale of annual and life mem- berships in the Desert Empire Fair. The largest single source of income from this year's Desert Empire Fair was the admission charge of 25 cents per person for everyone over 12 years of age who TOYS FOR TOTs-GySgt.

The drive is a joint Marine Corps- fireman sponsored program held each year to collect and repair toys for needy children of all ages. The drive organizers have contacted local church leaders and the Kern County Welfare Department for information about how rnany foys are needed and what age groups are represented and have issued a plea for toys "of any kind, for all ages." Persons who have toys they wish to donate to this worthwhile cause may call NWC Ext. 3717 or 5502 and the toys will be picked up.

Receipts from this source totalled $2,786. Rental of space in Joshua Community Hall, the Desert Empire Fair's pennanent exhibit building, brought in $2,65S--a figure that is expected to grow in future years now that the building has been completed. In addition, the sale of advance ride tickets netted the fair a profit of more than $2,400 on top of the 712 per cent commission that was returned to local groups and organizations whose members helped to sell such tickets. A total of 9,142 ticket books, priced at $1 each, were sold. The sum of $1,969 also was added to Desert Empire Fair coffers by the local organizations that shared 20 per cent of their net sales from the operation of booths on the midway with the DEF, and another $1,000 was picked up by the sale of advertising in the fair's program, the "Gulleywhomper." From this grand total of nearly $11,000 in income, expenses of more than $2,500 were deducted to arrive at the linal profit figure for the 1972 Desert Empire Fair. Major expense items included $1,000 for trophies (not covered by donations) and miscellaneous expense of $1,500 for such things as utilities, cleanup work and trash disposal, police protection, in- surance, taxes and licenses.

The annual "open season" on health insurance plans for Federal Employees and annuitants is currently under way and will continue through next Thursday, Nov.30. The 1973 brochures for all health benefits plans included under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program have been revised. Many of these plans have changed benefits or rates, or both. From now until Nov. 30, Civil Service employees have the option of enrolling in a health benefits plan or, if already enrolled, to change plans or type of coverage from seH-<>nly to seH-and-family type enrollment. In addition, some plans offer either high or low option coverage and a change to one or the other of these options also can be made during the health insurance plans "open season." Any changes made at this time by a Federal employee or annuitant will become effective on the first day of the first pay period in 1973 (Jan. 7). In order to make a change in health benefit plan coverage, employees must contact the personnel management advisor for their code in order to obtain and fill out a Health Benefits Registration Form.
