Miss Farrell, who has been hailed for her recent perform ance in Cherubini’s “Medea,” opened the new season for the San Francisco Opera Company last month.

He invited all of its possibly selling the High School Tin Can as surplus proper ty at public auction, with the Idea that a group of local civic clubs might buy it and fix It up for a recreation center in light of th( fact that the downtown “Rec” will soon be demolished. Have To Sell Land In a letter to the School Board, the- Attorney General expressed the opinion that this move would ^ot be legal—if the building were left on the School properly as had been suggested. However, the state effical stated that the School Board might, if it felt that neither the Tin Can nor the land upon which it stands were de.sirablc for public school use, sell both the land and the building at auction as propo.sed. Read at the Board^’s meeting Monday evening, the letter pro voked only brief comment, pend ing further consideration by the civic clubs' committee, of which Kenneth Putnam is the chairman. Several members of the Board said informally that they favor ed selling both the land and the building with the understanding that they would revert to the school system when they ceased to be used for recreational pur poses. However, Board member Richard E. Jamerson expressed the opinion that the idea was not practical, and said that a recreation center should ■ riot be located near fhe centef of the town. Civic Group To Meet A spokesman for the civic clubs group said this committee planned to meet again in the near future to consider further action on this matter. In other business at their meeting the Board members agreed to match a $600 gift from the Chapel Hill High School PTA Council, offered for the purpose of installing an intercommunica tion system In the building.
