the shop will go out of business
as soon as he can dispose of the
stock. He is advertising a liquida
tion sale.
The business has been for sale
for three years, he said, and is
still for sale but rather than re
new a lease that expired Decem

of business. He said that as a
small independent business, the
shop has been unable to compete
ith mass marketing in the book,

The music of Chopin predomi
nates on the program that Zita
Carno, pianist, will present at
Weaver Auditorium, Wednesday,
January 11, at 8:30 p. m. The re
cital, which is open to the public,
is sponsored by the Sandhills Mu
sic Association as the second of
four concert programs in its 1960-
’61 series.
The entire second half of Miss
Carno’s program is devoted to
Chopin, opening with 12 etudes
from Opus 10 and Opus 25. Also
to be heard are Barcarolle, Opus
60, and Scheizo in C sharp minor.
Opus 39.
In the first half of the program
Miss Carno will play the Sonata
in B flat minor. Opus 47, No. 2, by
Clementi; Hindemith’s Sonata No.
2, and Four Piano Pieces, Opus
119, by Brahms.
The highly praised young pian
ist, who played in four concerts
last October with the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra, had her
Town Hall debut in New York
City in December, 1959. A New
York Times critic called her after
that conceit, .‘ one of the major
young American talents,” while a
New York Herald Tribune critic
wrote that she was “a pianist of
massive musicalily.”
Tickets for the January 11 con
cert, as well as season tickets and
memberships in the Sandhills Mu
sic Association, can be obtained
at the Bamum Realty and Insur
ance Co. in Southern Pines.

Rep. Blue Makes
Predictions On
1961 Legislation
Speaking before the Southern
Pines Rotary Club last Friday at
its noon luncheon meeting. Rep.
W. Clifton Blue of Aberdeen of
fered some strong hints on things
to expect from the 1961 General
Assembly.
“Terry Sanford has been nom
inated and elected on a ‘go-for-’
ward’ program and a new gbver-
nor always tries to write into law
as much of his platform as pos-
I sible during the first General As-
jsembly session of his administra
tion,” Blue said, adding that it
was customary for legislatures to
go along with new governors in
reorganization programs like the
Highway Commission, Depart
ment of Conservation and Devel
opment, etc.
' ‘‘When it comes to levying ad
ditional taxes, legislators general
ly are more reluctant,” he said.
Rep. Blue shid that Sanford had
been elected on a platform of sup
port of the United Forces for Edu
cation program. To grant the $106
million needed to adopt the pro
gram, would in the Moore legisla
tor’s opinion, require additional
taxes. However, he voiced the
opinion that a reasonable step to-
' words the goal could be obtained
without raising taxes.
“Sanford’s proposal for a school
construction bond issue will have
little difficulty passing the Gen
eral Assembly,” he said, adding
that the legislature was not too
hesitant in tax matters which
permitted the citizens and tax
payers to make the decision.
On other issues Rep. Blue pre
dicted:
