Rupert McGregor is president. This will be the third major concert in thij series ar ranged for the summer confer ence season, and is expected to prove one of the most entertain ing attractions of this, or other, seasons. Coming up the hard way, Floyd Worthington stands as an example of one who has achieved despite numerious handicaps; a mong them being lack of money in the early stages of his climb toward the top. But this was more than off set by his love of singing and his determination to reach high rank in this field—which was his life, really. Born in St. Joseph, Mo., this determined young voice student looked to that city for his first real opportunity for financial backing. He went to public school there, and, when his mother died he was sent to a farm near the city—he was eight years old at that time—when the real w r ork, and bustle, and hustle which has marked his pathway to success as a singer, began. His admiration for Lawrence Tibbett began when he was still a lad in St. Joseph, singing in a church choir, to be sure, and tak ing vocal lessons; but already he had hitched iris wagon and Tibbett was the first artist-star on his horizon. This youthful ad miration has since developed in to warm friendship between the two men. Tibbett remained his inspiration and a practical helper at times. He made his official New York debut in 1934 at St ’nwny Gall where he received the Madrigal award. Since then he has become widely known in the oratoric field, has sung with the San Carlo Opera company, the Montreal Opera Guild, the Boston Symph ony, and is a teacher «f consider able note. Last year he gave two concerts in New York Town Hall. The York Times says of Worthington: “He has the actor’s sense of how to convey words emotion. He also has the actor’s gift of shifting quickly from one emotion to another. The audi ence showed no inclination to leave.” Early in his career his dramatic talents were observed; Floyd sings with deep feeling, and his singing is “his life.” Many critics have said of him that “he is a natural-born actor.” Will Submit Parking Plan The entire parking situation in Black Mountain was discussed Thursday night by a group of business and professional men who met at the office of R. S. Eckles. M. E. Rondel, who called the meeting, acted as chairman. After hearing the views of those present, Charlie Spencer was named chairman of a committee which will draw a map of the city streets, outlining what it is hoped will develop a permanent plan of parking for the benefit of the tourists as well as the resi dents and the merchants them selves. Ralph Reed and W. W. Early will serve with Mr. Spencer. When the plan is completed, the committee will report to the group. The final draft will be presented to the mayor and the city council at the next regular meeting.
