1940. and they were immediately ac
claimed by public and critics alike:
but a few days after Pearl Ha r b.ir
they jo.ned the navy, and enters
were forgotten until their honorable
discharge early in 1946. The follow
ing winter their tour across the coun
try was a sell-ou\ and since hat
time they have been much in de
mand as soloists with the country's
leading orchestras and as star recit
alists. Tireless workers, they have
arranged more than 170 works for
two pianos, and are constantly add
ing to their repertoire both rarely-
heard classic compositions and their,
o w n delightful arrangements o f
“popular'’ music. Laurens county
concert-goers are anticipating the
evening of playing by Whittemore
and Lowe. I
Concert night will be renewal night
for all members of the association
and, in a letter mailed to all sub-'
scr.bers this week, Mrs. W. H. Har
ley. secretary, urged all present
members to be prepared to pay for.
the<r 1949-50 cards when they enter
the school corridor tomorrow night.
Workers will be at desks fr:>m 7 to 8
o'clock, during intermission, and atj
the end of the program.
Of interest to many is the an- :
nouncement that all those who wish
to join for the next winter’s series
of attractions will be granted free I
admission to the Whittemore and
Lowe recital, if they apply for mem
berships between 7 and 8 p.m. at the
school "on concert night. The price ofj
memberships ;s unchanged, $6 for
adults and S3 for students, including
tax.
Clinton will come in for her share
of concerts next year, with the com
pletion of her new school auditorium!
a matter of a few weeks. The associ- \
ation’s enrollment will have to be
limited to 800, the capacity of Clin-
1 ton’s hall, but the executive commit
tee has been assured that with a
budget of 800 memiberships, the
county can secure four outstanding
artists. Clinton playing host for two
attractions and Laurens for two. j
As in every year, the drive is be
ing preceded by a dinner for 100
workers, officers, and directors, and I
this is being given tonight at Roddy’s'
restaurant at 8 o’clock. Special guest
will be Thomas Thompson, represen- 1
tative of the nationwide Community
Concert service, who is here to assist
with the campaign.
The week for enrolling new mem
bers will begin Monday, March 28,
with headquarters open at Bishop-
Walker pharmacy from 9:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m., through Saturday, April 2.
Speaking of the effort being made
to enroll a capacity audience which
will insure another full series of
concerts for the season 1949-50, Mrs.
Lee S. McMillan, membership chair
man, said yesterday, “What the Com-
imunity Concert association is doing
for us is of lasting importance. Great
music by great artists is as neces
sary to the development of the com-1
munity as good schools, beautiful |
! churches, and fine stores. Interest in |
the concerts has been widespread i
throughout Laurens county and has
insured in the past two seasons a
I near-capacity audience for six top-
! ranking performances. Now, in our
effort to increase the number of at
tractions, we urge more music-lovers
to obtain memberships at headquar
ters or from any of the large corps
.of porkers which is making a can
vass of the county. Remembe that
no box-office admissions to s.'.y of
the concerts will be sold, since the
artists who appear in the series are
| selected according to the number of
j subscriptions obtained. By providing
soand musical enjo’n ent for more
people than ever before, we will be
j doing a service ef the first rank for
our fellow-citizens.”
During 1948 thousands of families who wanted the se
curity provided by life insurance joined The Equitable
Society.
$
From every state in the Union—from big cities, from
country towns, and from farms — The Equitable wel
comed a host of new members last year, widening its
family circle to a total of 4,150,000 men and women.
It is the thrifty action and self-reliance of this huge
family handed together for mutual protection that makes
possible the record of accomplishment which The
Equitable brings to you in this annual report.
Of the $307,600,000 disbursed last year to policyholders
and beneficiaries, $70,086,000 was paid out as dividends;
and $108,500,000 was paid in death benefits. Payments to
living policyholders were approximately 65 per cent of all
disbursements to The Equitable Family.during the year—
indicating a continuing trend of utilizing life insurance
as a means of providing living 'as well as death benefits.
We have consistently done our best to preserve the funds
and protect the interests of the members of The Society
and their families in the realization of the fact that the
best interests of the life insurance policyholders are con
currently the best interests of the people in general.
There are some current economic conditions for which
we are not responsible, which we cannot control, but
against which we have tried and will try to protect those
who contribute so greatly to the public welfare by their
voluntary provision for the members of their families.
W’e shall be glad to send you a copy of the President’s
Report to the Board of Directors for the year 1948. This
report gives the full details of The Society’s finances, the
main features of which are outlined below, and is avail
able on request either to the home office or your nearest
Equitable renresentative.
