OWENS The Bary Ensemble, a group of five talented and beautous musicians, completely charmed and delighted a large audience of Community Con cert Association * members at the Marion High School auditorium Wed nesday evening, January 12. The group is composed of Miss Gertrude Bary, a native of Germany, who organized the group and who is the pianist; Miss Mary Becker, violinist; Miss Virginia Peterson, 'cellist; Miss Helen Bacchus, violist; and Miss Phyllis Gugino, clarinetist. They displayed skill, poise and fi nesse which they coupled with then engaging p-ersonalities to make the concert an outstanding event for Marion. Miss Bary, Miss Peterson, and Miss Becker were soloists, and Miss Gugino rendered solo parts in Ger shwin's "E-apsody in Blue" and "Flight of the Bumble Bee." Miss Bary demonstrated remarkable tech nique and spirit in her rendition of Mozart's "Variations in G major" on a theme by Gluck. Miss Peterson charmed the audicience by the rich mellow tones she drew from her violincello as she played "Ave Maria" j and 'Hungarian Khapsody" by David i Popper. Miss Becker was especially i kind to the eye and the ear as she played the opening movement of "Symphonie Espagnole" by Edouard Lalo, and gave as an encore "Banjo ! and Fiddle77 by Crow. The audience i and particularly members of the ! Marion High School band, were J struck with the flawless manner in which Miss Gugino played the clari net. After the concert, Mrs. Donald Mcintosh entertained at her home on ! West Fort Street with a reception | for the Ensemble to which were in cited the officers and directors of the ! Marion Community Concert Associa ' tion. It was interesting to learn that | Miss Gugino and our own Prof, j Bernard Hirsch were schoolmates at [the University of Michigan, j - — Dogwood Planting Week To Be Observed Here January 23-29 ! ""Plant dogwood trees to attract ! birds as well as to give beauty" is the theme for the fourth observance of Dogwood Planting Week, Janu ary 23-29, sponsored annually by the ' Garden Club of North Carolina in its | i project to popularize the State's ! official flower and endorsed by the1 | Marion Garden Club. Officially, the last week in Janu-j ary is Dogwood Planting Week, but ; plantings are already in progress j and will continue through Febru i ary. I "By actual count," says Mrs. Ove i F. Jensen, past president of the Bird j Club of North Carolina, "m;ore than j eighty varieties of birds will feed J upon dogwood berries." In addition to the pleasure they bring, birds are good helpers in the battle against | insects, so the wise gardeners in-j vite them into their gardens by plant ing dogwood. From the standpoint of beauty the dogwoods have everything in their favor. They are trees of restricted growth, so are not out of scale of . proportion for lawn speciment, small | houses, or town buildings. They are j small trees which provide great color , range—c 1 o u d s of greenish-white | blossoms in the spring, luxurous | green foliage in summer, gorgeous ! bronze leaves and crimson berries in j the autumn, and soft gray buds and j branches for winter. Planted near the outdoor terace or livingroom, they make delightful shadow pat terns on the tile or brick floors. The wood of the tree is very strong and pliable, so usually does not break or split during windstorms or ice storms. Dogwood will thrive on most types of soil after becom ing established, but need water and mulching during the first year of planting. Optometrists Attend Educational Meeting Dr. Kenneth Ramey, Dr. W. S. Moody and Dr. William Gladden at tended an Educational Meeting at Hotel Barringer in Charlotte, Sun day and Monday, January 16-17. They heard Dr. A. M. Skeffington of the Graduate Clinic Foundation. Dr. Skeffington was the first Eye Man to develop, and introduce the modern method of examining the eyes at the normal reading distance. Until Dr. Skeffington's technique was introduced, there was no ac cepted method for examining chil dren or people under 40 years of age, at the reading distance. Dr. Skeffington has devoted his life's work to research in this field. In Colonial times forest products were the basis of North Carolina's economic prosperity.
