Unique Gifts
By SALLY JONES
of The Dally Tar Heel StafJ
If you're looking for
something unique in a
handmade gift, chances are
you'll find it at the Country
Store, 113 W. Franklin St.
Operated by the Chapel Hill
Junior Service League, the
store originated eight years
ago to furnish a market for
goods made by the people of
Orange County, according to
Mrs. Dottie C u 1 b r e t h ,
manager.
You'll find everything from
baby clothes to a late Sheraton
cherry chest in the Country
Store. Everything in the store
is for sale including the
furniture.
Everything in the store is
made on consignment. "The
store is not run for profit, but
to furnish an outlet for these
coods," explained Mrs. Ann
Hamby, a volunteer worker
"What little profit we make
goes to the Day Care Center."
The people who make the
goods usually bring them in
personally the first time, said
Mrs. Culbreth. "They are so
proud of what they make, and
they want to check out our set
up." At first it was hard "to
realize that all of the goods are
handmade," she said. "They
all look so professional."
The articles come from 24
states. Of about 300 from
North Carolina, 130 of the
items were made in the Chapel
Hill area.
Some of them are made as
hobbies, said Mrs. Culbreth.
"But a lot of people make
these things to
their income."

Modem Art: Allcott Talk
Prof. John Volney Allcott
will discuss the current
Ackland Art Center exhibition
at 4 p.m on Sunday.
The exhibition spans fifty
years of American Art and
seeks to establish the native
roots of abstract art in
America.
Allcott, professor of Modern
Art History, will give his
analysis of these critical years,
citing the contributions of the
artists represented through
early and late examples of
their paintings, their ideas and
their reverance in today's art
world. - ' '
Artists John Marin, Max
Weber, Marsden Hartley and r
their contemporaries, known in
their day as the bad boys of
American art, received critical
brickbats in their early year.
Once chastized for their
"vulgar display" of artistic
license, there artists of the
first half-century of American

the background of almost any '
article.in the store.. She picked .
up a slender, notched wooden
stick' and explained that it was
a "gee-Haw Whimmy-diddle,"
a folk toy made by an elderly
man in Boone.
She stated it was one of the
most popular items in the
store.
"I think the. stained, glass
ornaments are some of the
most elegant , things in here,"
she said. Shaped like birds and
figurines of brightly-colored
bits of stained glass.
"A lady in Chapel Hill makes
them. She learnd how to do it
when she was a little girl help
ing her uncle make stained
glass windows."
. Dainty painted dolls smile at'
customers from the shelves of
a large china cabinet. They are
brought to the store by a
Durham lady who used to live
in Formosa, where she and her
sister made the dolls for a liv
ing. Now her sister sends the
dolls from Formosa, and she
paints their faces and sells
them.
Mrs. Culbreth believes the
shop caters mainly t o
townspeople, especially to "a
lot of grandmothers." Nobody
comes in just once, she said.
If you get hungry while
you're looking around, you
might try some of the Mora
vian cookies. "They and the
corncob pipes are popular
items," she said.
One small room is full of
children's toys: hand puppets,
stuffed animals and lots of
dolls. They range from the
ever-DODular Raggedy-Ann and
r
cuddly baby dolls to a grizzled
old mountaineer doll, complete
with scraggly beard and long
painting are now recognized as
our Modern Masters; and the
brickbats have been replaced
by astronomical sums of
money to acquire their
. works.
Their important paintings
are almost all owned by
significant public collections.
To stage this show, the
Ackland had to call on the
Whitney Museum of American
Art as well as Boston,
Philadelphia and New York
museums for key works to
chronologically develop the
progression of the artists'
movement into abstraction.
". A few, like John Marin, set J
'the tone of their- career ?with m
the first work in-1903. Some,
like Weber, were trained by
modern French artists and
were the first to introduce
Cubism and related styles to
America. All of them soon forg

Pearls Before Swine, the
Pearls. One Nation
Underground records ( ESP
1054).
Ever since the Beatles broke
away from the restricted in
strumentalization imposed by
three guitars and drums, we
have heard a rash of ex
perimentation with sitars,
autoharps and electronic ef
fects by other groups.
"Rash" is an appropriate
word, because most of the at
tempts have amounted to no
more than an irritating ear in
fection for the listener.
One pretentious group in this
area is the Pearls, and Pearls
Before Swine captures the
essence of all that is wrong
with pop culture: it is an at
tempt to pass off one half
thought idea as genius.
The pretense begins on the
album cover with the Biblical
quote ". . .neither cast ye your
pearls before swine. . ." That
is the most poetic line in the
entire effort, for the Pearls
follow with, "They made the
Bomb Would they drop it On
us all? Great and small. But
we must follow Drop out with
me." No joke; that's really the
way it goes.
Not all the lyrics are un
derstandable, which is nothing
new to rock, but lead mumbler

Bob Dyton in "Playmate." but
swallows his words as if it is
your responsibility to - listen
hard. In the other runs songs
on the album he sounds just
like Davie Jones of the
Monkees an achievement of
dubious value, at best. .
The songs in

none of the Pearls have enough
talent to capitalize, on it.
Wayne Harley plays or
operates an electric oscillator
on one song and the sound is.
one of the most exciting on any '
album around. today. But the.
song the oscillator is used in is,
like the other songs, so simple
in chord progression it is bor
ing. The chords are much the
same as "Rock around the
Clock" or "Teen Angel" they
are merely played to a dif
ferent beat.

The drummer is the album's
greatest asset. Perhaps the
Pearls should take him on as a
permanent member and quit
listing him as, "Warren Smith,
guest artist."
The album is destined to b
one of those "buys" that youll
find on the 99-ceni rack five
years from now. Even at the
price it will be a poor buy. At
$3.59 the album is a put
on like a bananna high.
One final note: One Nation
Underground has a pure
sound; Pearls Before Swine -has
more fidelity and presence
than, say. Atco records. It is a
shame the engineering has
been wasted on the Pearls:
like most things underground,
this record is rotten.
