FIRST OF ORGAN SERIES DELAYED Injury Prevents Performance by Musician from Elon College As Scheduled. , . The opening of the guest or gan series of concerts, which was scheduled for sometime this week, has been delayed on ac count of the injury to the artist who was to have performed, Professor C. James Velie, of Elon College. Word was receiv ed late last week that Professor Velie's hand had been injured and become infected. This in jury necessitates a complete cessation of playing until the hand has healed. Although there are several capable recitalists in the state who are ready to present con certs on limited notice, it ap pears best, in view of the per formance of Paderewski in Dur ham on Thursday night, to post pone the event until February, when Professor George M. Thompson of the faculty of N. C. C. W. will perform. Profes sor Velie will present his. guest series program at a date to be announced later. Professor Nelson O.
