Bary Ensemble
Presents Concert
By M. 0. 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,

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.
