approved loans totaling $42,262
900 to plan some 245.000 dwelling ?

agencies under Federally insured
mortgages.

and operated by the local housing
agencies. They will be rented to

j A symphony orchestra took off
its top hat Tuesday night and sat
down just to play for the folks.
Although all numbers presented
; by the Little Symphony in its an
nual appearance in Carteret coun
ty were beautifully executed, none
excelled the brilliance of Bobby
Morris's solo. Allegro from the
concerto in D minor by Mozart.
The 17-year-old high school stu
de it, Carteret county's foremost
musician of all time, displayed
i mastery of the piano, expert con
trol, poise and brilliance that many
; older professional pianists might
| well envy.
The only criticism heard was the
I query: "Why didn't he play
more?"
Native of Atlantic
The young pianist is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Morris of At
lantic and was scheduled on the
Carteret county program by special
request of the local committee.
The program opened with the
symphony in C major by Bizet,
composer of the opera, Carmen.
The symphony was written in 1855
when Bizet was 17 years old, but
was lost and not re-discovered un
til 1935 when the score was found
in the National Library of France
in Paris.
Benjamin Swalin, conductor,
who gave a brief history of the
work before it was played, said it
| is possible that Bizet never heard
I the symphony performed.
Schubert-like Melodies
"The buoyance and exuberant
melodies remind us of Schubert."
commented Mr. Swalin, "and this
symphony shows the permanence
of music and the fact that it is an
international language. Here, al
most 100 years since it was writ
ten we are playing a work that has
become a favorite."
Although applause between
i movements of a symphony is
jtrowned upon by many conductors,
^r. SwaliQ graciously acknowledg
ed the appreciative demonstra
! tions from the audience upon the
conclusion of each portion of the
symphony.
Soloist Appears
Lights were dimmed and the j
grand piano placed downstage for
the solo number. Mr. Morris's
appearance on the stage was met
with loud applause which wts
greatly surpassed as he completed
his number. The audience called
him back three times, urging in
vain for an encore.
After intermission, the orches
tra played the light and lovely
ballet music from William Tell
by Rossini. Beautiful solos by
the woodwinds were supplanted in
the next number by the string
choir in Drink to Me Only with
Thine Eyes, arranged by Pochon. ;
Instruments Demonstrated
Mr. Swalin, before conducting
Sheep and Goat Walkin' to Pas
ture, requested members of the
orchestra to demonstrate various .
instruments. "... in an effort,"
he explained, "to break down that
barrier which exists between a
performing group and a listening
group . . . and also to make an
orchestra more understandable to '
some of the adults who arc as un
familiar with these instruments as I
Robert Morris
arc many of our school children."
The first demonstration was on
the double bass, the big violin a
person plays while standing up;
next was the viola, "the alto voice
of the string choir," then the bas
soon. the bass of the woodwind
choir, an instrument invented in
1536.
A tune was then played on the
clarinet, which Mr. Swalin said,
dates from George Washington's
time, one of the most modern of
the instruments; the oboe soloist
performed, preceded by the con
ductor's comment that the oboe
was known in Grecian times but
has been improved in recent years.
The flute wa* played, this in
strument also one of ancient
times, followed by a few notes on
the French horn, related to the
hunting horns of France and dat
ing back to the Renaissance. The
trumpet was demonstrated. Mr.
Swalin explaining that this instru
ment wan Known to the Egyptians,
Romans, and Greeks.
From the percussions the xylo- !
phone was beard, then the celesta, ,
a new instrument to the Little
Symphony, was demonstrated. The j
celesta, an instrument related to '
the bells but having a keyboard,
was invented in 1886 Mr. Swalin
related, and is used to obtain un
usual effects, it was first played
in 1891 in the performance of
Tschaikowsky's Nutcracker suite !
Almost everything in the or
chestra was put into play in Sheep j
and Goat Walki ?' to the Pasture.
Turkey in the Straw left nothing
to be desired from the foot tapping
angle. The former was composed i
by Guion. wtio arranged the latter.
Mrs. Maxine Swalin made a short i
talk prior to the next number.
She urged members of the North
Carolina Symphony society to at
tend other concerts to be given in
this vicinity and expressed thanks
to THE NEWS-TIMES, the radio
station, and Mrs. Uayard Taylor,
membership chairmen.

Morehead City
Series of Games Begun In
1946 lo Continue This
Weekend
By Oliver II. Allen
A basketball series unique in
high school records will be con
tinued at 7:30 to light and tomor
S row night when the Morehead City
and Southern Pines varsity and
> junior varsity teams will square
off in Morehead City gym for the
15th and 16th games in a series
that dates back to 1946.
The series originally began af
ter Morehead City was defeated
! by Southern Tines for the eastern
Class B championship in 1946. Fol
lowing the game. Coach Gannon
Talbert of Morehead City chal
lenged Coach A. C. Dawson of
Southern Pines to a series of
games on a home-and-home basis,
two games to be played in each
town each year.
visitors noin r,uge
Southern Finos has the edge in
games played since 1946 with a
nine to five lead. This year when
Morehead C'ity played at Southern
Pines the local junior varsity woi
both Sanies and the varsity teams
split their two, Morehead City win
ning the first one. 43-36, in an
overtime period and Southern
Pines winning the second one, 36
34. in the final five seconds of
the game.
Play in the games is marked by
unusually good sportsmanship and
clean play. Never has either team
won by more than a few points
but what is more important is that
the players seem to gain more
from the game than they put into
it. more in the sense that fair play
l>rcdominales in every contest.
Quotes From The Pilot
I Earlier this year when the local
team visited Southern Pine? the
j Southern Pines Pilot wrote up the
: event from their angle. Part of
j that story is quoted below:
"Coach Talbert himself is always
I one of the visiting team's main at
tractions. with his sideline antics
while the game is going on. He is
about the same build as Wake For
est's Coach Peahead Walker, ebul
lient. flamboyant, and addicted .to
eye attracting ties. Like WalKer,
he can't sit still but pacep con
stantly before his players'/bench,
one mome it wailing in despair, the
next jumping up and down in jubi
lation over an exciting play. When
a decision goes against Coach Tal
bert 's boys, loud cries of anguish
and protests can be heard afar.
"However, the visiting mentor
knows his basketball. His teams
are splendidly trained and play a
clean, hard, and fierce, but thor
oughly sportsmanlike game while
erstwhile enemies become friends
